Hmmm....well, 108 or 109 seems to be the card number for sure. Can someone use that info to figure out the color?
The 4<3 part seems to be maybe a casting cost?
CMC of 5? 4?
Crazy puzzle. Hope I helped a bit!
Go go rumor mill! Lets figure this one out!

Deathj: "vengevine... totally overhyped. Do you guys remember talara's battleon? Remember when it was $15... Same thing with this guy. Hes a $5 mytic AT MOST, quote me on that!"
Most hilariously inaccurate prediction in the history of MTGS. Congratz Deathj!
(L + 18) - 4♥ - A - (1 + 108) = 0
(L + 18) - 4heart - A - (109) = 0
basically all the variables have to be solved so they equal 109.
l is the 12th letter so 30 - 4heart - a - 109 = 0?
doesn't quite make sense, going to go with Bosor's assumption that is
not quite an algebraic equation, but coded clues...
18th letter is R so it's possible its
L + R - 4heart - A - (1 + 108) = 0
-
A

It's more likely to be like Niv-Mizzet's flavor text than an actual algebra problem.
Card 108 is listed in the name and number crunch as "Nature's [Return]" and is green, meaning its green and probably 4G if it's 108. L is for land, A is for artifact; no idea if that's the case here.
108 Nature's [Return] 109 Omnath, Locus of Mana (Legendary Creature - Elemental), :2mana::symg:, green, +1/+1, green, 1/1, Mythic
l + r could be land return, this might be a return a land to your hand green-ish thingie

I'd guess each letter or number is a card or an effect.
#18 is Rest for the Weary, +4 (+8) life gaining instant and 4♥ could actually mean gaining 4 life.

It can't be called Nature's Return, the OP noted in another thread that the second word in the name had to do with "crying out". Perhaps "Nature's Call"?

I think we're on track with the 4 life thing. The only thing I can get from 1+108≠109 is card 108 from Zen, Quest for the Gravelord. So, my guess is that this may be a quest, a white one (as we don't have one of those yet) that maybe requires 6 (QftG's 5, +1) quest counters, and either gains 'Landfall - Gain 4 Life' while activated (like a super-Gladehart), if the L in 'L = 4♥' is for land, or maybe just during your upkeep.
I may be way off base, but this kind of puzzle is a bit out of my depth.
(L + 18) - 4life - 18 =0
I like the idea that L + means Land (L AND) and the heart seems to mean something close to life. so I think this may be leading to the cost of the card. Land/ landfall and pay 4 life, means a cost of 0 mana. the 18 i think is a red herring or something to do with the effect. either way, it is not just a number.
Yes, it is, and I have the benefit of knowing the card he's talking about. Excellent riddle.
This means it's solvable!
Members of this site never cease to amaze me with their ingenuity in coming up with, and solving, these great riddles. Sadly, I don't have much of a puzzle-solving mind at 4:30AM, but I hope to wake up to a new card! Good luck to the aspiring case crackers.
Would make sense with all those manlands in limited.
I would be very surprised to see a pure LD spell in green. Red and black tend to have a monopoly on those. Green gets LD in the form of universal effects like Mold Shambler.
This seems to imply that, due to him using "an" and not "the" - the card that he's referring to (in terms of it being a close guess) is actually a power creeped version of an existing card.

My guess is that the -4<3 part involves losing or paying 4 life.

(L + 18) - 4♥ -18 = 0
(1 + 108) ≠ 109
♥ = ALT+3.
(12 + 18) - 4*3 - 1 - (1 + 108) = 0?
Only... that doesn't make sense.
#18 is Rest for the Weary, +4 (+8) life gaining instant and 4♥ could actually mean gaining 4 life.

L could mean Lightkeeper of Emeria, as #12

(L + 18) - 4♥ -18 = 0

If the above is true, then:

Destroy target land. You gain 4 life.

I have no idea, but what a lovely card you just designed, either way.

Can the "A" mean all?
Sort of as an additional cost, pay 4 life, destroy all lands.
With the white enchantment making all lands indestructible, then something must destroy them.
(L + 18) - 4♥ -18 = 0
L + 18 = Land 18 = Land Ate Teen
-4♥ = minus four life
-18 = 0 = without eating teen you get nothing.
Land
When land enters the battlefield you may sacrifice a creature. If you don't, you lose 4 life.
T: Add 1 to your mana pool.
T: Add one mana of any of the sacrificed creatures colours to your mana pool.

Some hints:

As for the name, it has indeed something to do with crying out... or should I say Ancient Romans crying out?..
