Mechanics

Gnome

Gnomes are short human-like beings who live underground in snowy lands. Winter is their favorite season, and they like to cause mischief for passersby. Blue-green Gnomes represents philosophy, so they love to exchange ideas.

Gnomes are primarily blue, secondarily green or artifact, tertiary in red. Their main classes are Wizard, Rogue, Druid, and Warrior. Dual-class is the Illusionist, which is Wizard Rogue.

Other fantasy types also reclassified as Gnomes:

You waste a lot of text space when you put vigilance and the triggered ability on separate lines rather than integrating them into the activated ability.

More important than wasting space is that you make it harder to parse which abilities are relevant for the animated and inanimate state of the land.

It's unusual to animate land into nonland creatures. Land destruction is toned down enough at this point that it seems appropriate to keep manlands weak to that line of counterplay.

The reminder text for what it means to be frozen shouldn't be on every card with freeze, but only on cards that care about frozen. Other existing examples of keywords defining their state e. g. monstrosity and renown are also keywords that themselves care about that state.

This land clearly tries to do a lot of unrelated stuff at once - you could remove one or two abilities entirely and come up with a simpler but still complete design.

Wait, what? Tap everything you have, then take another turn except you don't get to untap any of it; but you do get to put a hasty creature directly into play?

Upshot, everything is tapped, you get an extra creature and an extra combat phase?

So why the extra-turn shenanigans? Are you supposed to float mana for a mass-untap or something?

On Coldstep Illusionist:
on 2019-01-14 11:53:01 by Vitenka:

Hmm. Making mana from exerting a land feels more natural to me that this; which feels more like "This costs 3-and-a-bit to scry+draw". It's decenly potent and seems to asically work (although that type-line is a bit crowded) it just doesn't feel quite natural to me.
