At the end of each week, a winner will be determined by forum poll. The winner's card will be rendered and featured on the Welcome page, and the winner decides the challenge for the next week's Contest! Here we go, competitors: our three-hundred and fifty-eighth challenge! The winner of the "Don't just choose one" poll was @lackof with...And the challenge issued by our winner was... For this contest, design a nonland card that can turn into a land, either through an activated ability or under some condition. It can be a drawback, a trick, or a conditional bonus to work through, like the devotion Gods or Arixmethes. Something that effectively becomes a land or Aura with „enchant land“ when it dies is also acceptable, like Old-Growth Troll. To increase your chances of winning and to also make creating the poll easier on whomever is doing so, please try to use a render. Additionally, please try to keep your entry edits all in one post - if you need to change it you can put your old entry in a spoiler marked "Old entry" and leave the newest rendition to be seen.

I'll Try my hand at it. Hope people enjoy Flo00 Valid Point. with the hefty prerequisites to flip the card and the fact that it already comes into play tapped I think reducing the Initial mana cost to 0 is a better bet. Flo00 Another Valid point. Updated to reflect this.

It's a bit of a stretch, but I'd say this creature can indeed turn into a land (if it dies while you just so happen to have a land in your hand).
Selesnya's coming out swinging with this one.
Tireless Temple Artifact Creature - Golem , Return a land you control to its owner’s hand: Put Tireless Temple from your hand onto the battlefield tapped. When Tireless Temple dies, you may put a land card from your hand onto the battlefield tapped. 4/4

So far the card types that do not transform into a land are planeswalker, sorcery and instant. So I did the latter. Sadly, I couldn't find a fitting image. Swallowed by the Earth Instant Target creature gets -2/-2 until end of turn. If that creature would die this turn, exile it instead and return this card from your graveyard to the battlefield transformed. ---------- Sated Gorge Land : Add . Flavor text pending.

Old Sod A green Creature - Elder Elf.
2 generic and tap: Animate target forest (Put a +1/+1 counter on it and it becomes a 0/0 Elemental creature with haste. It is still a land.) When Old Sod dies, you may return it to the battlefield transformed. 1/1 Art by Steven-Donegani
Young Loam No mana cost Green Identity Legendary Land Creature - Forest Dryad
(T: Add a green). Haste Other land creatures you control get +1/+1. Whenever another land creature you control would die, remove a +1/+1 conter from it instead if able. 1/1 Art by Benu-H

This isn't always a non-land that becomes a land, but it is, at times, a nonland that becomes a land.

Since Flo00 went with instant, I guess I'll go sorcery.
Blast with Earth Sorcery As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a land. This spell deals 4 damage to any target, then transform Blast with Earth and put it onto the battlefield tapped. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blasted Vista Land : Add .

Some advice and opinions for some of you. I'll Try my hand at it. Hope people enjoy. Cool idea. I just don't like that I have to spend 7 mana and then still have to put quite some work into it to make this do practcally anything. By the time I've done that, adding the might not be that much of a help anymore. Also it depends strongly on how my opponent plays. Against a spell deck I have hardly any hopes to flip this. {Text} Stalklegs Creature — Horror Stalklegs enters the battlefield tapped. As long as an opponent controls a creature, Stalklegs is a Forest land. (It's not a creature.)
5/2 If this is a Forest land, that means it loses all it's abilities... would that mean, that it enters untapped if an opponent controlles a creature? I'm really not sure what the rules say there. In any case, this should probably have a reminder to explain the outcome. {Text} Shifting Boundary Enchantment " style="max-width:100%;"] At the beginning of your upkeep, Shifting Boundary becomes a land and the basic land type of your choice until your next turn. Wastes is not a (basic) land type. That would actually make a few "choose a basic land type" cards pretty busted (and probably would unbalance Domain). If you turn a card into a Forest, it automatically loses all other types, subtypes and abiilties. (See rules information on Song of the Dryads.) I guess it's not wrong to still write it. I think it would make a little more sense as a reminder though. Fun way of adding or . You could write it as a riminder (having the basic land types grants the ability automatically). Also if you want to save words, you could use the new wording without mana pool.

I think this works under the 'effectively becomes a land' thing. If not, let me know.

In any case, this should probably have a reminder to explain the outcome. I thought that wording would work, since I based it on the Blood Moon + Shockland interaction... but it turns out that got changed! Now shocklands enter untapped under Blood Moon. Which is unfortunate, since playing Stalklegs as an untapped land is the part I was trying to avoid. The new wording's a bit clunkier, but it should work properly now.

Flo00 , Valid Point. with the hefty prerequisites to flip the card and the fact that it already comes into play tapped i think reducing the Initial mana cost to 0 is a better bet. artifact that taps for mana is pretty mox-y. I think or maybe would be a good aim.

I'm seeing a lot of Green and Colorless cards, so i decided to try for something a little more oceanic! The least visible cameo in a nicol bolas card, the destroyer of roughly 2/3s of Madara, Unnamed Demonic Leviathan Planeswalker! given a temporary symbolic name and art piece for legibility. Credit to hydraheadhunter and sdfkjgh for editing help, very sorry for the poor polish on this one.

| Lotan, Tidal Tyrant // Talon Portal
Lotan, Tidal Tyrant Three Generic, Two blue, and a black Legendary Planeswalker - Lotan
+2: Exile target noncreature permanent or card a graveyard [sic]. It gains suspend 3. -X: Exile all creatures with mana value X or less. Each nonland card exiled this way gains suspend 4. -8: Exile Lotan, then return him to the battlefield Transformed. 5 Art by Tonas Äkerlund, aka Gerezon
Talon Portal Legendary Land - Island
(Tap to add a blue.) Talon Portal enters the battlefield with 3 charge counters on it. A blue, a black, and tap: remove a charge counter from Talon Portal. Choose a card you own from outside the game and exile it. It gains suspend 2. Activate this ability only during your turn. Art by Chippy |
Sorry to pop in unprompted with templating critiques, but there are a couple of hiccups in your templating that you might want to fix because the card doesn't currently work the way I think you hope it works. • The way suspend works, it casts the spell from exile when the last time counter is removed. If there are no time counters on it, it won't ever be cast. This is why the templating for " gains suspend" cards is "exile object with X time counters on it. It gains suspend. • With Talon Portal, it's primary ability, as currently written, can be used without charge counters. The simplist way to fix this would be to move "Remove a charge counter from Talon Portal." to the cost of the ability. But if you don't want it to be a cost, you can instead template "Remove a charge counter from Talon Portal. If you do..." • (This last one might or mightn't be an issue depending on your intent.) Suspend is an owner sensitive mechanic; meaning if you exile something from an opponent's graveyard, as Lotan's +2 currntly allows, it'll go into the opponent's exile and your opponent will start removing counters until they eventually cast the cards. If that's is intent; cool. If it isn't, you may want to find a way to include 'as if you were its owner' clause into the relevant the effects. Maybe a passive clause saying 'Other cards exiled using Lotan's abilities are exiled as if you were the owner'.

Thank you hydraheadhunter! hopefully I have fixed the card. The card causing opponents to get to suspend their spells is intentional, but the other things weren't. Suppose that's what i get for uploading the 3rd draft at 1 at night instead of giving it more review.

Another take on the classic red 2/2 haste for cheap with a downside. The drawback here is that it takes up your land play for the turn, and can't be used as a land until you've damaged your opponent a bit. Potentially crippling if it gets removed, but also has a high upside if it sticks around for a turn or two.

idoldreams: One last fix: "permanent or card a graveyard". Also, the first ability only needs to give the exiled card suspend, not suspend 3. The 3 is covered by the specified number of time counters.

You forgot the " : Add ." reminder. Or at least you could give it a watermark.
