I don't mind the creature itself being fragile, since the ability to fog semi-regularly should come with some sort of out. Also, funny that the name still hints at what the card used to do. Velvet Top Fungus is a real world fungus that perches on top of trees... I looked it up.
Fair enough. The problem is that it is so fragile, couple with the fact that it does not make any saprolings on it's own.
I suppose the best way to deal with this is to cut the Shadow/Treetop part. It's a good switch out to me, but it just takes up too many words. Pity, they haven't keyworded Treetop, yet, but that would probably be a bad thing. There's still some of the Ghoul left in there due to trigger and 1/1 stats. Let's see what else I can do...
Why the Treetop-ness?
Also, it looks like this would be seriously hard to trigger. 90% of the time this is just a 1/1 that's faintly hard to block. Getting 3 Saprolings to die without this dying itself seems a somewhat unusual circumstance.
Yes, the random card selector has about 100 records for each basic land. The four Ravnica plains are all in there individually, and separate from the four 10th Edition plains, even those which have the same art.
This is slightly worse than the Ancient Spring cycle in Invasion. And that wasn't a very good cycle.
This is awesome. I love some (most) of these card ideas!
Random Generator gave me Wei Strike Force and Predatory Hunger. I'm not sure what color doesn't like its opponents to play creatures, but if it is any color, its probably blue. Since which color this was was up in the air, I experimented with this at artifact, then took it down again. This ability can be powerful, but doesn't look it. I originally cost it at
, but at that rate, your opponenent only needed to cast a single creature, and you'd end up with a Snapping Drake. I didn't want to up the casting cost to 
just to make it an artifact.
Random Generator gave me Spore Flower and Dauthi Ghoul. Originally gave +1/+1 counters, but removing three of them would be a very sad thing, so switched to spore counters. Occasional free fogs is painful enough, after all.
Also, it's difficult to line up The Treetop running ability with Shadow, since the end result looks a lot like High Flying... Kind of not the point. We'll just have to go with something a little watered down. I'd love to make those first two lines one line, but it is a bit confusing, and people would probably forget that this guy can't block.
