MTG Salvation

Quote from gumOnShoe

I like the idea, but think a simpler rather than all encompassing ability would be better. A cycle could be interesting, along the lines of:

2U {U} You can play 1 less land this turn: Scry 3
3G {U} You can play 1 less land this turn: Creatures you control get +1/+1 until end of turn.
1R {U} You can play 1 less land this turn: Deal 1 damage to target creature.
2B {U} You can play 1 less land this turn: Target player loses 1 life.
3W {U} You can play 1 less land this turn: Put a 1/1 white human creature onto the battlefield.

(Activate this ability only if you can still play a land.) after each.

You could give each an evergreen if it were appropriate and adjust power/toughness and costs as necessary. Also, that probably isn't worded right.

they seem a bit weak considering you can only do it once per turn in most decks (green and blue one was ok) and this ability has a hefty draw back in the start since it leaves you behind mana wise. Up the damage on the red card to 2 and target player discards a card for black and Lower the mana cost for white to 1. Then it could see some use, still I like them the way they are now.

The wording is ambiguous. If these only had the land search ability of their chosen type, they'd be really good, especially in limited. At present they're over-powered.

The reason I say this is because, if you can search for a land (maybe even a Shockland), then you would want to do that every turn instead of playing a land. These cards thin your deck and make you shuffle every turn.

Yes, they are quite good. Maybe if you exile two cards from your hand instead of one. Or you could make it only search the graveyard for lands and spells and add when enters play put the top 5 cards into your graveyard.

These creatures allows you to either get a constant uninterrupted mana supply or a draw/search ability at the cost of not being able to play any land that turn. What do you think?

Quote from mirrorentity

Island
(B) Basic Land - Island (L)
U

I decided to improve Island by making its color identity black, disadvsntage is that it is restricted to Dimir+ decks but when you Hydroform or Rude Awakening etc. it cannot be targeted by Doom Blade or Snuff Out, a worthy upgrade.

Black islands hmmm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_5F1zYQF5M

Quote from Antny223 »

I'm gonna regret asking this, I know it already, but how are you exiling all lands from libraries?

ok, missed that should have said "each player search their Library and exile all basic land cards", It's hard to make the text concise.

Monument of Dreams U 2
Legendary Artifact

When Monument of Dreams enters the battlefield
exile all basic land cards from all libraries, when it leaves
return exiled land cards into their owners libraries.
Instead of land play any player may exile a card
from his or her hand then put an exiled basic land
into play or draw two cards.
