Put all land cards in all graveyards onto the battlefield under your control.
At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice all lands you control.
Whoever posted the last card before judging was done gets to take my place as judge.
Just so you know, in the future with an IIW like this I probably won’t actually judge you. That being said, you just judged me the winner, and I feel that fair warnings are in order.
So my first thoughts were that this was way too good, but then I read it correctly and realized that the drawback is ridiculously huge. It’s great when you draw multiples! That made me like it… a lot. Supper Johnny card. A
Torrential Growth GG
Instant (U)
All lands produce G until end of turn.
All forests produce GG until end of turn.
I could be wrong with my rules knowledge on this one, but I believe as currently written this card doesn’t provide enough information. Is the green mana in addition to their normal type and amount or instead of? If it is instead of this makes it a GREAT green combo enabler. You shut down the ability to have most opponents react to your spells while giving yourself a green High Tide. If it is in addition, not so much. Either way, green high tide is flavorful, within the color pie, and cool. However, you don’t have an IIW, so in the future I won’t be paying you the kindness of feedback, as is I cannot give you a grade.

Target creature gets +X/+X until end of turn.
Trinify 1G (You may cast this spell by paying 1G rather than paying its mana cost. If you do, X is 3.)

Gimme a sec. On second thoughts, give me at least one extra turn.
Well, we have a spell that does the original ability word for word in T2. The Trinify ability is cool, but somewhat limited. I would prefer it to be WORD X – to give it more development room. B
Equalized Evolution WG

Until end of turn, target creature's power and toughness become equal to the highest power and toughness among creatures on the battlefield.
"The Mirrora are harmless enough. Just don't let them get anywhere near a baloth..." - Accodi, Vergewood ambassador

I’ll be honest, I was hoping for mono-green instants, but as I didn’t say that I can’t hold it against you. You’ve taught me to be more careful with my wording. I also feel like this doesn’t have to be multi-colored, I think green could do this just fine by itself. I like the card, it’s a powerful pump spell, but only for pumping weenies, and only if there is already another big guy on the field. Good job. A+
Target land becomes a forest until the end of turn, then, all creatures you control gain forestwalk until the end of turn.
You’re missing an IIW, so you won’t be getting a grade, and at least from me, in the future you won’t even be getting a critique. That being said, I feel like there is a 3 casting cost Red sorcery that says creatures can’t block this turn. While slightly different this for the most part does the same thing. I feel that the cost and effect are both fine. Instant speed Lumbering Satyr abilities are fun!

Cool card. Can give big bonuses, but requires a decent amount of work to get there. If you want a big bonus you need a fattie to be your next card, which means you can’t run spells like BoP or Elves. Wall becomes awesome in your deck. Not unreasonable, interesting card. B+
Implant 1GG

Target creature becomes a 0/3 green plant creature with defender until end of turn.
Make a red card that works well with blue.
So it’s like a green Humble, sort of. The creature keeps its abilities and is probably shrunk in the front and potentially a little in the back. It also makes the creature so it can’t attack, although in all honest both offensively and defensively you’d probably cast it after attackers are declared anyway. I think this might be overcost slightly, but as it is somewhat out of Greens color-pie to do this, the costing is acceptable. B

I worry about cards like these. Dramatic Entrance cost 5 and limited you to a green creature. While this has an additional cost, it just brings about horrible thoughts of turn 3 Emrakruls. I know it’s not your fault that WotC might have made a creature that was “just too good”, but knowing that it exists means you have to play around it. C+
Fertile Season GGG
Instant
Whenever you tap a land for mana this turn, add one mana of a colour that land could produce to your mana pool.
IIW
Make me a really cool enemy-coloured planeswalker.
High Tide for 3 now. While this does more than high tide, I truly believe green could get a version of it printed for the exact same cost and effect and it would be reasonable. Adding the extra 2 green mana kind of nerfs your spell. To accelerate 1 mana you need to have 5 lands in play, that’s rough. Cool spell still. C+
