It's been fixed. |

Judging in roughly one day.{kefke}Well, I guess this is as Un as it can get. Basic Land is fetchable with kind of everything that searches for lands but hurts really bad to use. Hard to tell how balanced this really is.
{thaneofglamis}That's a really nice idea for a land. Paying  to drop an extra land. Reminds me of the card game Spoils where you can do something like this by default. It's kind of an odd place to travel to. Uless you're a biologist or fungus master I guess. {ZephyrPhantom}This looks like quite the cost for a land. I guess it can be good in a deck with a lot of small critters. I guess it's a good thing this doesn't work with tokens.
I didn't expect at all what I got here. Which isn't bad. I like it when things turn out interesting. |

Thanks for the win! I am indeed a fungus master...
Next I’d like some nonbasic lands with basic land types!

Ok it's been long enough, judging now Jartis - Wooded AltarA really cool idea for a land, and a definite inclusion in any green graveyard or even token-based deck. Probably could be rare. Very nice art as well. This is a minor gripe but it isn't really a Forest, it's an altar in a forest.
burntsquirrelman - Pacifying PlainsThis is an excellent way to play with taplands, but then again there's no reason to play four of these instead of four basic Plains. Maybe if it always came in tapped whether there's a target for its ability or not, but I doubt that's what you were going for.
MaiApologies (She/Her) - Sepulcher of DecayVery nice legendary land with great art. Restricting it to noncombat damage is great, since black isn't fantastic at that currently, and making it affect your creatures makes use of Pestilence risky. I really want to build around this card.
Sanfonier of the Night - Jungle CreekA cool idea, but it's also very powerful, as it's effectively a free Forced Adaptation that can hit any creature and can also tap for mana. Also, the name is pretty boring. The winner is: {Spoiler}
maiapologies with Sepulcher of Decay!
With jartis as the runner-up. |

Thank you very much!
For my challenge, I'd like you to make a land with a passive ability, keyworded or otherwise!

Fleeting CityLand At beginning of each upkeep, you may pay 1 life. If you do, add one mana of any color. "Brass can be gold in your dreams."Trades being easy to use at any time for being more value in multiplayer games. Hope you've got a lot of instants or mana sinks prepared.

Dreaming Landscape Enchantment Land - Aura  Enchant land you control (Dreaming Landscape is not a spell. As it enters the battlefield, attach it to a land you control.)Whenever enchanted land becomes tapped for mana, add one mana of a type that land produced. |

 Rako, the Volcano Village Legendary Land-Mountain RareWhenever an opponent is dealt noncombat damage for the first time each turn, create a 1/1 red Elemental creature token with haste. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step. Whenever Rako becomes tapped, it deals 2 damage to you. |

Wow, it just occurred to me that this contest hasn't been posted in since before the American quarantine, until today. Wild.

JartisI honestly wouldn't know, I saw it, read the first page, and decided to do it. Maybe after the person before me and I did a submission people started remembering it again?

PEacefulOtter Yeah. I have to imagine that what happened was it was posted, some people took interest, thought they might get around to it, and then quarantine hit and everyone just kinda forgot, and then it got lower and lower down people's "Participated" tab until someone was either scrolling through the main challenge page and saw it or thought "hey, I haven't designed a land in a while," and came to check. I know I've had several instances of that and then go to check and see there's not been any posts in a particular contest for a few months. I'm glad this one came back, though. Land and commander design are two of my favorites.

Since interest has risen in this again, I'll ping MaiApologies (She/Her) regarding judging. If he can't step up, I'll withdraw my entry and declare a winner. |

Medical StationLand ~ enters the battlefield tapped unless you control only tapped creatures. (You must control at least one tapped creature.) Add  or  . Generally the most likely scenario in which you have all-tapped creatures is after combat, so I figure this fits while incidentally leaving some room open for other weird jank.

People have been doing stuff with attacking, and surprisingly, no one has done a Raid Land yet for this contest  Burning Wastes Land [T]: Add B or R Raid- Burning Wastes enters the battlefield tapped unless you attacked with a creature this turn.
If there’s a fire, the only help coming will be plunderers ready to snatch up your treasure. |

Inspired by, but not totally ripping off the Raid idea. It may not explicitly require combat, but you can't argue that it wouldn't be better after combat.  |
