color indicator does away with the need for the first line of rules text too
There you go, have a colour indicator. You silly person.
Mmm. That's because it's using the land frame, not the white frame. You could get it if you explicitly selected the white frame.
The colour indicator is explicitly tied to the frame in use, because that's precisely what colour indicators do: let a card have a frame other than what might be automatically determined. But it's tricky with coloured create lands, because you ideally do want them to have a frame that looks land-y, but also to look coloured. I had this problem in Sienira's Facets with Rejuvenation Spring and a couple of others, and as I discussed on that card, this kind of land rather wants a set of frames all to themselves.
All that said, I guess if people want to apply a colour indicator to a coloured-land frame, I could let them - it's unambiguous which colour indicator to use - so I should.
It should go without saying by now, but this card is so wacky that attempting to give it a color indicator fails.
Hitting a Giant Growthed X/1 with a -1/-1 counter feels like the most straightforward way to get a cleanup step for me. Spike Soldier will also do it on his own, as would the Starcraft Marine card which goes something like "Put a -1/-1 counter on ~: ~ gets +2/+2 UEOT."
Primal Forcemage may also be useful; he was the key to the combo I assembled to win via infinite cleanup steps.
Ah. Yes. To quote you: "There's a reason you don't see cards playing around with stuff like the cleanup step."
Just Giant Growth isn't going to get you priority in cleanup unless the act of removing the +3/+3 kills it (and normally in that case, that would mean the creature was dead beforehand, so you couldn't even drop Giant Growth on it).
An example of how you could incur this is: you attack with Tel-Jilad Fallen (3/1 infect), they block with a 2/2, and you Giant Growth their creature for some reason (when you could have just pumped yours). Their creature will be 5/5 plus three -1/-1 counters until end of turn, when the Giant Growth wearing off will reduce its toughness below 0 and haul it off to the graveyard. Then you get priority, and you've ended up trading Tel-Jilad Fallen and Giant Growth for the opportunity to play a 1-mana 3/3.
Hmm... More likely that you're going to get away with Giant Growth your opponent's creature, then end the turn. But if you can do that, your opponent has a creature, you have 2 mana, and you're throwing away a card. Strangely balanced. Could possibly be bigger... except playing multiple would throw it out of whack.
Thawing Glaciers is the most straightforward way to invoke the cleanup step with minimal cost. If you have too many cards in hand and discard Basking Rootwalla, that works too, but it's pretty rare for that situation to come up.
You could also throw away something like Parapet during your upkeep or end step (note that it specifically has to be your turn), but all the other cards like that are Auras that demand a creature, and you end up spending 3 mana and 2 cards for a 3/3: not really eventful.
I'm a big fan of the creature type line. I'm also trying to imagine the easiest way to sneak this guy into play. For a second, I thought I came up with the only reason, ever, to play Delif's Cone, but it turns out that that card says "this turn", and I'm pretty sure I want "until end of turn".
As neat an idea as this is, there's a reason you don't see cards playing around with stuff like the cleanup step.
CAT TRIBE CAN HAZ CHEEZBURGER
If Cats are so full of evergreen keywords, aren't those just the Magic equivalent of...memes?
Forestwalk, also. Leonin have a tendency to lug around equipment. It's kind of funny, actually. You'd think that Cats would have abilities based on grace, pouncing, falling from great distances and titanic roars. Instead, they have a tendency to get a lot of keyword abilities.
The cat tribal theme is primarily speed - first strikers and haste; I think.
Also Savannah Lions and Gold Myr, though it ends up like I was saying with the Lions so far lost in the design as to be practically unrecognizable. A pity Cats don't have an iconic tribal theme to call their own (except maybe Tutu Cat?)
Haha! I've been a bad influence! I got to admit... mashing up is hard, hard. Some of my first stuff is... less than inspired. It does take a little while to get the hang of it. When you get there, though, it's a pretty damn good feeling.
Also, I could feel the pun on myr cat, but I just couldn't see it. Thank you Vitenka for now letting me not unsee it.
The 'Myr Cat' pun, now revealed to me, is painful.
Karoo, Karoo Meerkat, and Alpha Myr. I approve.
What did you mash for this one?
There's Mashup: the Gathering, and then there's this ugly thing.
Divert your eyes if you don't want to see a kitten get mutilated into incomprehensibility.
Because I can't find a clean one anywhere on the Internet, and I haven't been bothered to tidy up one of the dirty ones I downloaded yet.
Man, black will do anything to win...
Wait, why is there no Phyrexian watermark to choose from?
