Oh, it's nice to be back from vacation. I just drove from Cleveland to north of Boston, and boy is my herd of cattle tired.

Playing upon where we left off, Jack gave us the keyword 'Harvest' for Wall of Berries. I liked how Harvest worked with etb tapped lands, and wanted to see people come up with a name for a red/black harvest card, so here we are.

We also get a new friend for Clue/Food/Treasure tokens. I wanted something that made the player second guess if it was worth having their land etb untapped. Sacrifice speed for value, or vice versa.

What is this card's name? And what's the name of the tokens it creates?

I really didn't want to put "Activate this ability when you could cast a sorcery" on there, but I figured I had to. If this token is to appear with any amount of frequency at common, it needs to not cause incredibly complicated combat interactions. :|

isn't tapping a land for mana essentially harvesting it ?

"Oh, it's nice to be back from vacation. I just drove from Cleveland to north of Boston, and boy is my herd of cattle tired."

ROFL :D

Interesting. Let's try:

­Sulfurfall Fields
Harvest - ...Scourge Token...

Effigy Fields

Pain Token

Ooh, your "pain token" is a good name. Very metal! :)

Or another possibility:

­Lone Crematory / Mortality Token

I don't know if this is inspired by JMG's delightful image of driving cattle, but to me this looks like an Unsettling Ranch that creates a Brand token.

Alex takes this one this week. I admit that as soon as I heard the name, I wanted to see the artwork for that Unsettling Ranch... but I had to keep my mouth shut to remain impartial. ;)

See everybody on (((NTC #078)))!

Damn yeah they could make some really freaky art for this one!

That IS unsettling!
