Chose blue based on Fatespinner. White has had the skip combat phase part before in False Peace and Moment of Silence so I can see saying white. The 2 combat phases is definately Red.
Hmm Given the cards mentioned above I could easily drop the cost of this. Could go or or almost even hybrid of either.
Yeah, I agree - these seem very worthwhile swaps into a deck for the "ETBT land slot". Thinking about vaguely similar lands such as Vitu-Ghazi, the City-Tree, Khalni Garden, and Llanowar Reborn, I think these are probably reasonable, but pretty high in power level. Imagine a blue-white control deck with two (((Spawning Grounds))) and two Marshalling Ground out: it can cast its four-mana counterspell or Wrath every turn, and then either spend over several turns getting one token while still keeping 3 mana up, or just spend one turn getting an army of 4+ tokens. Yeah... these could be quite oppressive in a control deck. They're not necessarily too powerful, but they're very good.
Whilst I know that the old Fallen Empire Thallids were mostly sub-par and slow, several of the newer Time Spiral ones are much better. I also think that this land and the others like it are not bad cards. They may 'seem' slow but, as they add counters whenever they tap for mana (and lets face it that happens just about every turn), having the option of basically paying for a 1/1 every 4th turn is just a bonus. Let me know what you think.

changed the cardset options for Snap
hmm need to come up with a name for the counters that fits with how hrulls are grown. I can't use Spawn or Brood as they will be on the Blue and Red cards of the cycle. Suggestions ?
name changed from Hero of Legend

Haha, it's another non-Saproling-making Thallid like Thorn Thallid!
Oh, I like. That's a very nifty effect. I'd be inclined to say it's White, though, rather than Blue.
decided on Viashino for now

Looking at making the counter something other than a Goblin but not sure what as yet.
