MTG Salvation

I apologize in advance for yet ANOTHER overpowered blue planeswalker.
The other day I was bored in my history class, and I was trying to be innovative (to SOME extent) with planeswalkers. This is what i came up with:

Temporal (You may activate abilities of this card at any time you could cast an instant if you haven't activated an ability of a card with the same name since the beginning of your last upkeep)

Example:

Merkedd, Temporal Ascendant UUU
Planeswalker--Merkedd

Flash, Temporal
+1 The next time you would draw a card this turn, you draw an additional card.
-2 Mana Leak/Daze

If the -2 is Mana leak, Merkedd's starting loyalty will be 3
If it is Daze, his starting loyalty will be 4

Merkedd's +1 may be too powerful. so I'm thinking of changing it to "a player" and "that player draws" instead of "you" and "you draw."

Orsinsh, Maintainer of Silence 1WWW
Temporal
+1 Tap target creature
-1 Fog (Angelsong)
EDIT: -2 Swords to plowshares
Starting Loyalty 3

After taking Binary's comment into consideration, I changed it from:
-6 You get an emblem with "Your life total can't change" Activate this ability only as a sorcery.
Starting Loyalty 4

Let me know what you think, edit as you see fit(:

i think youre missing a megacycle for your set, TRILANDS...not alara block, ETBT trilands, rare trilands which could ETB untapped(: check out this thread that i made when i was trying to make some good, balanced, untapped trilands...i still think my original idea is best but judge for yourself and get back to me(:

Unfortunately, this doesn't work. "can't" _always_ beats can, and the things that this cards say "can" happen are "cant's". You can't change phases when something is on the stack, and you can't you cast permanent spells, either.

actually, the comprehensive rules say that card text takes precedent over game rules:p

Quote from CrazyMatt

Revised the idea instead something players didn't tried yet.

Rules


Jund
Land - Continent (M)
:symtap:: Add :symb:, :symr:, or to your mana pool. Activate this ability only if you control a Swamp, a Mountain, or a Forest.

America
Land - Continent (M)
:symtap:: Add :symr:, :symw:, or to your mana pool. Activate this ability only if you control a Mountain, a Plains, or an Island.

I love this idea....and why not murmuring bosk? because I REALLY REALLY dont like painlands...can't stand them
also, i want these to be able to be fetched with like arid mesa or something...you know?

MAybe you could do "Continent Land-Swamp Mountain Forest"

Quote from sleeper agent 2.0

I see what you're going with here. Seems almost a little forced, given that you've also thrown in the M10 duals "you need another land for these to be untapped" thing. Does it need that?

Without it, these are just the ravnica shocklands with an extra lifeloss and an extra land type. Hmm, yup that might be too good (unless you really, really wanted to push multicolor) so maybe the "another land" clause is needed. On the other hand, 3 life really is quite a bit.

Not the most original dual land but kind of cool nonetheless. I could see this happening next time wotc returns to a tri-color "shard" theme.

just a cool idea i came up with while i was drafting with some friends

I have a great triland idea that could work with your idea, but you would have to change the colors to fit:http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=270350

I was inspired by both the ravnica dual lands and the Shards of alara taplands...i havent named most of them yet but i think the concept is pretty cool:


Lava-Scarred Jungle

Land-Swamp Mountain Forest

When Lava-Scarred Jungle enters the battlefield, if you control another Swamp, Mountain, or Forest, you may pay 3 life. If you dont, Lava-Scarred Jungle enters the battle field tapped.


The other four would follow the same example and each would represent a different shard's colors....you know what i mean?

EDIT: i'd call them Bolt lands...im sure you all can see the inspiration hahaha
and they could work for wedges too(:
