Original Card: Cemetery Gate ­

I can't remember what I was thinking, exactly, when I bumped this into uncommon. But I'm pretty sure it was a combination of 'make Homelands more aggressive' and 'large walls with no power shouldn't be a common sight in black. Especially ones with protection from black.' I guess I could have increased power or switched out for pro white... but there's a lot of flavor on this card that demands it to be what it is.

Since it's an uncommon, the toughness got bumped. I'm not a fan of obsoleting Wall of Ice/Glacial Wall... especially since I can't think of another card that has. But cards like Wall of Frost tend to make me believe that a 0/7 with a minor bonus ability is fine at in uncommon.

Missing a full stop (period) in the flavour text.

Thank you, Alex. Flagged to edit.

Typo in the name on the card image ("Cemetary" rather than "Cemetery").

Also, a tip for formatting flavour text of this card and others with attributions: at the moment the attribution is on a new paragraph from the quote, with too much spacing. If rather than just pressing Enter you use Shift-Enter, MSE will merely insert a linebreak, which I think is what you want here.

I'm sad to see the exclamation mark in Grandmother Sengir's quote go away. I always liked the emphatic way she delivered that punchline, and it's not as strong with just a full stop / period IMO.

Ty, ty and ty and marked for editing. I looked back at the original and saw why the exclamation was missing... Wizards forgot to add it in Oracle, and I copy/pasted their mistake. Reverting shortly.
