?, Incompleat - 1WW
Legendary Creature - Horror
Vigilance, Lifelink
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a -1/-1 counter on ?, Incompleat. 3BB, remove all counters from ?: Draw a card and lose 1 life for each counter removed this way.
3/3
Sounds like a non-creature, aura-based reconfigure variant is what you're trying to do. I'd recommend looking at the rulings for reconfigure and using what you learn to reword the card so it's a bit clearer.
Good idea! I’ll look at that for better templating.
Nyx-lit Expanse
Enchantment Land : Add C. Activate this ability only if Nyx-lit Expanse is a land. CCCC : Nyx-lit Expanse becomes an Aura enchantment with enchant creature. Attach it to target creature. If enchanted creature leaves the battlefield, Nyx-lit Expanse is an enchantment land again.
Enchanted creature gets +1/+1.
Harvest of the Final Crop 2G
Enchantment
Lands enter the battlefield under your control untapped.
Land cards in your graveyard have “Unearth - tap an untapped creature you control.”
Should’ve been clearer - I had a land matters cycle in mind Dakkon, Hazezon Tamar, and Lord Windgrace.
Yes this card doesn’t quite qualify for land matters, but it’s in there regardless.
With that in mind, I’m not removing the land animating but I’ll remove the indestructible clause and limit the animation to the controller’s turn only.
??, Herald of ?? 2GWU
Legendary Creature - Spirit
Non-equipment artifacts, non-aura enchantments, and lands you control are spirit creatures with base power and toughness 3/3 in addition to their other types and have haste and indestructible.
4/4
Haste and Indestructible are there because I think there’s certain factors to consider when animating lands. Mass I ndestructible is in pie and mass haste is a bend in green but reasonable here, I think.
Well, granted that it’s not really a cycle but…
I’m having difficulty thinking of something suitable for UBR.
Perfection Symbiont - 1
Creature - Leech
Mutate 3
As long as Perfection Symbiont is mutated, it gets +3/+3 and is also an artifact and a phyrexian.

Ledah, Grand Cygnus - 2WU
Legendary Creature - Bird Spirit Cleric
Flying, Protection from Instants snd Sorceries
If an instant or sorcery would deal damage to you, exile it as it resolves then prevent that damage. The spell's controller creates clue tokens equal to the damage prevented this way. 1BG, sacrifice X clues: Return a card with mana value X from your graveyard to your hand. Activate only as a sorcery and only once each turn.
4/4
Not wholly certain on the templating! I just want to create a card like Swans of Bryn Argoll but less combo potential and more uhh dunno? Hah. Also, playing something like Ashes to Ashes with this sounds like great fun!
?? - 2BR
Legendary Creature - Vampire Warlock
Ward - Pay 8 life
If a player would gain life, instead they create that many blood tokens. 2GU, sacrifice 3 blood tokens: Draw a card. You may put a land card from your hand onto the battlefield tapped. Activate only as a sorcery.
4/4
Send Aid to the Front - 2W
Sorcery
If you have less life then an opponent, you gain 3 life. If you have fewer cards in hand than an opponent, draw a card. If you control fewer creatures than an opponent, create a 1/1 white soldier creature. If you control fewer lands than an opponent, search your library for a Plains card and put it onto the battlefield tapped then shuffle.
Quartermaster Heidrun - 3WW
Legendary Creature - Human Soldier
When you cast Quartermaster Heidrun, create a copy of Send Aid to the Front. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Then, if you cast four spells named Send Aid to the Front this game, you win the game.

could drop it to CCC, that might work better.
Mana costs with C are no more Eldrazi-specific than Proliferate is Phyrexia-specific.
Enchantment Land
CCCC : Nyx-lit Expanse becomes an Aura enchantment with enchant creature. Attach it to target creature. If enchanted creature leaves the battlefield, Nyx-lit Expanse is an enchantment land again.
Enchanted creature gets +1/+1.
Edit: also, yeah I’m not sure of the first line and might go with Amulet of Vigot instead.

personslly, I’d want to drop both costs and consider making the second cost BR since Black doesn’t destroy non-creature artifacts.
Please note: I don’t create cards with any particular rarity or format in mind.
