I don't think there is a colorless alternative win condition, so I made one.

I like unusual card types. So I was intrigued by Land Creatures. But Dryad Arbor was kind of a mess, both by being confusing and being very powerful. I tried to design simple Land Creatures for every color for this set. It has a theme with Fortifications, so why not put interesting lands in it? I wanted to make it more balanced, they are fetchable, because of their basic land type, but they enter the battlefield tapped. I have no idea if that makes them better or worse.

This is one half of a melded creature you can build with the back side of either Shimmering Presence or Shimmering Spook.

@RatLantern Yes, dude1818 is right. It's because Elemental isn't a land type. I misread Myriad Landscape.

About it not having a mana ability: I assumed that any basic land had an intrinsic ability to produce mana of some kind. And I thought it not having any type would mean it produced colorless mana. And I assumed wrong. Theoretically all Wastes have the rules text of {t}: Add {c}. So this should too. Thanks for looking over it!

On Jumping Wastes Dust:

I googled the question again and looked for more answers, and dude1818 is entirely right!

https://magicjudge.tumblr.com/post/139342627257/hi-i-was-wondering-if-you-can-search-for-wastes

"So… Wastes doesn’t have a land type. This means we can’t search up two Wastes with Myriad Landscape since they don’t share a type with each other.

This leaves the big question of can we search for one Wastes? Is having a basic land type required to be found at all?

No, you can find any basic land if you’re only searching for one land. Sharing a basic land type only matters if you find multiple lands.

This was clarified with an updated Gatherer ruling in 2018."

So... yea! Can fetch one but not two. Today I learned, thank you.

On Jumping Wastes Dust:
on 2024-05-16 23:23:13 by dude1818:

That's incorrect. Myriad Landscape can fetch one Wastes, but not two, since they don't have a land type to share. Likewise, it could fetch one of these, but not two

On Jumping Wastes Dust:
on 2024-05-16 22:58:13 by RatLantern:

This seems to have no mana ability. Is that intentional?

I don't think Myriad Landscape will be able to work, because this has no Land Type. For example, Wastes don't have a land type, so you can't fetch those, even though they're Basic.

On Jumping Wastes Dust:
on 2024-03-27 21:10:57 by Mister Johnson:

Does Myriad Landscape work with two of these things?

On Exceptional Traveller:
on 2024-03-22 16:37:44 by Mister Johnson:

This might have similar problems as Glistener Elf. You just pump this guy up and he can't be blocked. On the other hand, if a 1/1 blocks it, he can't deal damage. I'm not sure.

On Shimmering Highcloud Tower:
on 2024-03-22 13:00:00 by Mister Johnson:

And the wording doesn't work anymore, haha. I need to somehow address this.

On Shimmering Highcloud Tower:
on 2024-03-22 12:56:07 by Mister Johnson:

Well, you're right. I'm going to fix this ASAP. Thank you very much.

On Rifts of Recalling:

This won't be in the cube.
