Uncommon → Common.
Uncommon → Common.
As per my initial comment, made this a 3/4.
Possibility for Uncommon and Up Green token.
Could potentially be 3/4, which would lead me to make Giant a 4/3, I think.
Placeholder for Uncommon and Up Red token.
I considered faze as the keyword here, but in a set where most of the creatures have square stats, it's not very impactful. I'll still think about it, though.I gave this faze for now.As a creature with faze, if I shift uncommon tokens to hybrids, this could be .
Possibility for Uncommon and Up Black Token.
This could also be .
Possibility for Uncommon and Up Blue token #1.
Considered making it a Shaman.
Possibility for Uncommon and Up white token; considered making it .
If I come back to working more energetically on any Magic sets, I'll probably generate a skeleton for this one and start coming up with some firmer ideas. Right now it's just a collecting ground for card ideas without enough direction to make it cohesive.
A lot of my sets are just mechanical exercises, yeah.
Anydria is "set without blue," for example.
This set is "all creatures are tokens." I think it's possible there would be some actual creatures at rare or mythic, though. The tokens currently in the set are the Common tokens; there might be more tokens, as well, at higher rarities.
When I was more actively working on this, I had brainstormed some flavor ideas for why it was all tokens, but I only vaguely remember them.
What is this set about, like thematically? Is it just mechanical mel candy exercise? Having a million tokens certainly raises some eyebrows but I'm perplexed as to why.
The idea that there are only tokens in a plane could be used to propose a further development for the current, ambiguous flavor concepts related to (or lack thereof) being a token.
See Faerie.
Bouncing in this set would be, effectively, hard removal, so Blue probably wouldn't get Unsummon without caveats.

Ah, yes. I made this on my phone, on which I'm prone to such errors.
This is still a cool card in a vacuum though. I assume you mean tapped?
Yeah, I don't see this as a complete answer. It's just frustrating that there's basically NO answer right now.
All the answers just rotated. The only good land destruction left is Assassin's Trophy, but that still gives them another land. This helps, but isn't enough considering Field was still a tier 1 deck when Blood Sun and Alpine Moon were in the format. Although now it's the only tier 1 deck
People are talking about Field of the Dead being banned in Standard, but it shouldn't have to be. There just aren't any real answers to lands in standard, right?
See Faerie.
