Land Designs

Thanks for the win!

Next challenge:
Design a land that has a color identifier, and cares about it in some way.

The Painted Desert
Legendary Land - Desert
During your upkeep, The Painted Desert becomes two random colors.
: Add one mana of any color in The Painted Desert's color identity.

I'll judge on Tuesday!

Thanks for the win!
For this next challenge, create a land that cares about enchantments.

If this works the way I think it does, you can animate auras with this... to have them die in your cleanup sinice they are no longer attached to anything. I think that's quite funny.

Serra's Sanctuary
Legendary Land 
: Add .
, , Sacrifice ~: Search your library for an enchantment card, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle.

Skrll’lak, the Bloody Hill
Legendary Land
Bloodthirst 3 (If an opponent was dealt damage this turn, this land enters the battlefield with three +1/+1 counters on it.)
, Remove a counter from Skrll’lak, the Bloody Hill: Add .
Grandeur — Discard a another card named Skrll’lak, the Bloody Hill: Put three +1/+1 counters on Skrll’lak and it becomes a 0/0 red Elemental creature with first strike and haste until end of turn. It’s still a land.

serraphim You may want to go for a different word, since "explore" is already a thing in Magic.

Omenseer's Keep
Legendary Land
: Add or for each card named Omenseer's Keep in your graveyard.
During your end step, you may discard seven cards to transform Omenseer's Keep.

// ---- // ---- //

Staff of Omensight
Legendary Artifact
Whenever you scry one or more cards, you may discard a land. If you do, add or to your mana pool.
, Sacrifice Staff of Omensight: Return up to seven lands from your graveyard to the bottom of your library, then shuffle your library.

Bit of a quicker judging than my usual, since I was a bit late:

4d20 I really like this. Good amount of power for a mythic land, nice way of circumventing the legendary drawback, very fun.

vizionarius I enjoy the concept at first glance, but I'm not sure I'm very often going to want to exile 6/8 cards for 3/4 colored mana, realistically.

Flo00 I don't know if I look forward to or dread the deck that runs 4 of these and only mountains, hoping to turn 1 win by going second into an empty board. The Grandeur ability being able to be activated with any other Mountain means this is playable in Commander, as well, which is a bonus in my book.

serraphim Pushing the limits of rules text on this one, I think, by virtue of it being in 5 paragraphs. That said, I do like the discover mechanic, I like that you give an option to make it nonlegendary (clever way to approach the challenge!), and I like that you still have access to the exiled card, for a bit more mana. I would probably make this mythic, because it's both complex and I think a lot stronger than it first appears, but it's definitely a great concept.

sorsal I didn't even think about DFCs helping to complete the challenge, nice catch! I also like that it transforms, instead of being modal, meaning you have to put in a bit of work for having multiples to matter. Ultimately simple, but effective.

marshmellow Interesting approach. I could see a cycle of these (black seems to get all the fun land cycles, doesn't it?). Giving it the Forest subtype meaning it both powers other copies of itself *and* can simply tap for green is some clean design.

Sanfonier of the Night First off, I am literally in the middle of building a Gates tribal commander deck right now, so obviously I'd want it in that. Anyways, Gatecycling is great fixing. After getting Baldur's Gate, I wouldn't mind seeing a cycle of colored legendary gates.
