Oh turds, I forgot Brainstorm exists!
See Flametipped Hunter. Blue mechanic for mana generation?
Moving Mark of Sakiko to red as a mechanic. I'm not sure of the name yet. Potential names included Fervor and Passion.
Included vogue
The first ability should probably be "As an additional cost to cast ~, tap all lands you control." I think this was for the set where I want a lot of mana in player's mana pools, so this was supposed to give you some life if you didn't end up pooling your mana for something big.
I guess that being said, if the player doesn't tap all their lands before casting this card, that's on them. The downside would be if they wanted to combat trick this creature specifically, the tapping lands wouldn't go well with that.
Why are those two triggered abilities... two triggered abilities? Why not one? Just so you can stack them incorrectly and not gain life because the lands didn't get tapped until afterwards?
> "..., then you gain 1 life for each land tapped this way."
I'm not super excited about this design space either way, to be honest. Something would really need to care about those tapped lands to make me want to put this in a set over a simple "Gain life equal to the number of lands you control" - at the appropriate cost.
I guess you can rule it any way you like. But it doesn't seem consistent. Put this alongside another card that says "Rap a target" - that ca surely tap artifacts and lands?
Nah, it can't hit land. As WOM Devign Team linked on Warstorm Surge https://twitter.com/mtgaaron/status/906205981993865216
eh, it's red. go ahead and allow it to backfire sometimes.
Though as written, this will usually target lands and fizz
Ooh, conditionals! What's your goal?
If the target pool is meant to include: the attacking creature, any opponent, and any other creature, but specifically exclude you, you'd do "a random target creature or opponent".
I've taken to the simple wording of "target" rather than "target [thing] or [other thing]." That being said, if this card was changed to not hit you or your stuff, could I still use "any random target you don't control"? That sounds like it could hit yourself still. Should the wording want "any random target you don't control other than yourself"?
Test for a set that wants hella lands and/or mana and how to do that in traditionally unrampy colors such as white.
See Loam Totem. Name doesn't connect to elements associate with Magic's white, unlike the rest of the cycle. Ability also has no association with concept of quartz and was just generic white ability.
See Tar Totem.
See Ice Totem.
See Basalt Totem.
See Tallpine Judge. Alternatives ideas of disorder: checking a number of tapped creatures, or checking to see if the player has any tapped creatures.
See Bleakstone Bandit.
See Sky Scholar. Inspired by The Elder Scrolls Legends' Gargnag, Dark Adherent
