Land Designs

I'll pronounce Bouncearama  as the winner. A nice use of adventure. I'll judge fully another time.

oof, that's gonna be a tough one! lol... time to brainstorm on how this could work.

oops, mistake made with Curse type... it's supposed to enchant players. updated card.



Ruling:
- This falls off the enchanted land once it's no longer an Aura, at which point it becomes a land that you can tap as normal.
- Playing this counts as your land-drop for the turn.
- Control of this doesn't change; the player who played it retains control of it even when it's an Aura, and the ability that makes it not an Aura doesn't have an effect on who controls it.

Thanks Flo00 for pointing out my templating over-complication; of course it could just have enchant player!

Dreaming Landscape
Enchantment Land - Aura
Enchant land
(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.

Tilling Spirit
Enchantment Land Creature - Aura Spirit
(Tilling Spirit isn’t a spell, and it’s affected by summoning sickness.)
~ isn't an Aura as long as it isn't attached to another permanent.
You may reveal ~ from your hand and pay . If you do, attach ~ to target creature.
: Add
Enchanted creature is a 0/1 Spirit enchantment land creature with ": Add ."
0/1
In the fields of war, peace shall be sown.

Eat your heart out Boseiju. Much like how Boseiju, Who Endures replaces the destroyed permanent with a land unlike Naturalize, this doesn't render the creature completely useless unlike normal Pacifism variants, similar to Darksteel Mutation. (You can actually recreate the Path to Exile trick of using it on your own creature to ramp.)

(Fun fact - Originally I was going to give this Bestow, but Bestow needs you to cast, which isn't possible because this is a land.)

ZephyrPhantom  wins!

My last card for 2022!  I wished I liked this more. The soulbond variant of land/creature has some potential, but the mana-dorks use isn't the best flavor.

Log: Updated to allow tap only if land.

The current Picture into Card challenge inspired me to do a card for this, so this will be a two-for-one.



Coastal Fortress
Land
: Add .
, : Target creature gets +0/+X until end of turn, where X is its toughness.
, : Target creature gets -X/-0 until end of turn, where X is its power.

Just about pushed my luck, didn't I? Short on time but good designs all around so I'll try to judge each card.

viriss- Turning the paired creature into a mana dork is an interesting twist and feels comparable to Glimmervoid or Thran Quarry - I'm not sure how excited I am at the thought of every color being able to ramp this way but left as an incomplete cycle favoring fast mana/ramp colors it could be interesting. Would like to see all three Jund ones in a set at minimum.

@daij_Djan - Straightforward, takes advantage of new mechanics, a common. Certified Daij classic.

twintania - Not sure if this is too strong of a free effect but the fact it forms a janky combo with Force of Savagery is more than enough to make me want to like it. Uncommon is probably a good place to put this because last I checked Pauper tends to use effects like Electrickery a lot and this would make them less relevant, so good call on the rarity.

pernicious - Was the lack of defender intentional? Because if it is, it's a budget Death's Shadow and I think that makes it very interesting even if that might not be the intended use for it. I'd actually prefer to see it printed this way, just not certain if that's what you were hoping to achieve.

vizionarius - A 'cheaper' Labyrinth of Skophos-esque effect that compensates for lower cost by being more narrow and having more hoops to jump through. I like the reintroduction of Fortification this way and I think this is how WoTC should go about it to mitigate concerns about how uninteractive or hard to remove Fortification based decks might be.

Jartis - Seems pushed at first but combat mana has historically been shown to be very restrictive so I think this is fine and pretty much just good. I feel like it would realistically only add RW on the 2nd ability and add C on the first though, just to be 'safe' and not make it too easy to play.

Flo00 - I think this is really undercosted when you consider that most of the time it'll be a Maze of Ith that costs to activate - the toughness boosting effective likely isn't as easy to break but I still feel like it's begging to make a mess out of a card like Wandering Fumarole with how cheap it is. I feel like it'd be best to split this into two lands, one for each color, and cost each effect at least 2M (where M is the appropriate color).

Winner: vizionarius , with viriss as runner up

Ruins of Anaxi
Land
Ruins of Anaxi enters the battlefield tapped.
When Ruins of Anaxi enters the battlefield, prevent all combat damage that would be dealt until the end of your next turn.
: Add .
, , Sacrifice Ruins of Anaxi: Put target artifact card from your graveyard on top of your library.

This is from Die Insel der Stürme (english: The Island of Storms). Anaxi was once the human capital of the Island. A few hundered years ago its well became pisonous and the city was abandoned. In the story the ruins are surrounded by a thick fog where you lose all orientation. After a battle, half the statue of a godess is unearthed there.

Not that I made the fog effect last until the end of your next turn, so its symmetrical (if you play it after combat on your turn).

Bump for more entries. Judging tomorrow.

I actually made a cycle of lands for a BotW theme I'm doing, I hope that's allowed. If not, then just consider Gerudo Town as my entry instead of all of them.
