These days blue gets 1/3 for (Lumengrid Warden and many others), so that seems the sensible tweak here.

Dwarven Ruins and friends? Yeah, they don't need much of an upgrade. That looks fine.

And I'm REALLY not sure what to do here. Blue needs a good cheap common creature; but doesn't get a grizzly nor a 1/2 for .

Maybe just grin and bear it?

This... yeah, Hymn to Tourach needs powering down. Like; a lot.

I'm thinking maybe make it a death-trigger creature instead?

How to be polite to Delif? Your artifacts SUCK dude. We need better ones.

Delif's Horn is... replacing Delif's Cone why did I do rename that?

Delif's Cube is on the 'never reprint list' allegedly to preseve it's value. Which is, um currently at a lifetime high of $0.47 ! So yeah, whut? And it lets you selective sabotage yourself in order to build up regeneration counters. Which sounds decent, but plays painfully. I think that should charge up to allow-unblockableness. Which also seems bad; but it means you can maybe get a few early attacks through, to charge up a big one later; or make an opponent think twice about leaving even slmall things unblocked; forcing them to actually block and trade creatures more often.

These are too messy, too many counters, and just too damn fiddly.

On the flip side; they're aspirational and people do like them in concept.

Time spiral tried to make them good by making them dual coloured; but that's a departure too far for me I think.

So let's go with lands that turn on, instead.

Twiddlable dials now; is 6 mana the right amount of aspiration? It does keep the risk factor there.

I always liked the sacc lands; but for modern sensibility they are a bit weak.

I'm thinking probably just remove the 'tap' from the second ability; so that you can use it for one mana the turn it drops, if you REALLY need to.

Very small upgrade; but ETB untapped might be a step too far.

Then again, they're only mono colour...
