viriss Good (low) power level for a combination of basic land type and filter land. Looks very playable but not too strong. melono 5 mana for a Food token seems right to put it on a land. I can see this in a draft to fix colors and support a Food theme. viriss wins.

Treestump HideyholeLand - Forest Burrow  ( : Add  .) Exit the Burrow ( You may have this enter the battlefield tapped. If you do, create a 1/1 white Rabbit creature token.) When ~ enters the battlefield, you may pay . If you don't, sacrifice it. And then it's a cycle  So uh, bump I guess?

Holy $#@% I'm a bottleneck for keeping challenges moving. Sorry. Jartis Super defensive. I'm not even sure that works with the cost being phasing. Free evasion might be too good. But I totally see all the creature diving into burrows! melono Is the whole cycle rabbits? maybe "Rabbit Burrow" if it different creature types? elchetibo Classic creature regen land... wait, it can regen itself? vizionarius Enters tapped. Someone has to dig the hole. Winner vizionarius, runner up melono |

Holy $#@% I'm a bottleneck for keeping challenges moving. Sorry. Haha, no worries! I was seeing your posts within the last hour and was thinking, "Someone's doing some 'bookkeeping!'"  Thanks for the win! Next: Design a non-creature land with a color indicator that doesn't tap for any mana. |

Not on my computer right now - but I had a sudden inspiration, so I wanted to post at least the text version for now  The difficult thing about this challenge is how I wanted the color indicator to matter somehow - so I came up with Congregation, caring about having three permanents of the card's color obviously inspired by Metalcraft.  Obviously meant to be part of a full cycle |

Epicenter of the Roil
Enchantment Land If a land entering the battlefield under your control triggers an ability, that ability triggers one more time.

Tolarian Tanker  Legendary Artifact Land - Vehicle  Crew 3 ( Tap any number of creatures you control with total power 3 or more: This Vehicle becomes an artifact creature until end of turn.) As long as ~ is a creature, spells you cast have improvise. ( Your artifacts can help cast those spells. Each artifact you tap after you’re done activating mana abilities pays for .) 3/3

Oops! There are a few challenges waiting on me... FeedbackDaij_Djan: I really like Congregation! Nice art! I like that you gave it a "casting cost." I think it's well balanced. Tying this to a land drop makes it weaker, and the Medallions do this on their own at 2-mana, so this feels appropriate. Flo00 : Gotta say... I did not have this on my radar as a possibility, but I love it! This is awesome the more I think on it. Well balanced on the -5. viriss : Dragons giving Treasures! Flavorful. I think it's a little too limited in design, but I can see it in a set with some changelings, or as a direct-to-commander deck precon design. I think it's well balanced due to the limitation on when it can be activated. elchetibo : This feels a little too strong! Triggering landfall abilities 2x, and giving it to a land, feels like a little to easy to get. It being an enchantment helps it with it being more easily removable, but I think this effect on an (nonland) enchantment would cost somewhere around 3 mana. At 0-mana, this feels strong. I do like the effect. Jartis : Nice art and name! The effect feels pretty powerful in that it affects all spells. I think it can end up being a little too strong in aristocrats decks. Maybe if it only affected instants or sorceries as a way to protect your creatures and to hit spellslinger decks specifically. Making your own spells cost less is quite strong as well... it does what Ashnod's Altar does, but in many cases better by the mana discount being carried over to multiple spells. melono : I like the "fix" on land creatures by requiring another creature to have it do anything via Vehicles. Also digging the design to give it a static when it is a creature. Neat! WinnerSo many great entries! The winner is Flo00 for an awesome design that took me by surprise in a very positive way. |

Krakanoa, The Sleeping Volcano Legendary Land Creature - God Krakanoa enters tapped. As long as you haven't sacrificed a creature this turn, Krakanoa isn't a creature. Deathtouch, trample. : Add  or . 3/3 Based on the idea of sacrificing someone to a volcano.

{Jartis}I like how this only replaces a creature, not give you more. It's similar to a flicker effect. Being sorcery speed and "costing" a land drop is probably even balanced. What I don't like is that if you don't use the ssecond ability, this is an untapped land producing 2 different colors. It should definitely enter tapped. Two minor templating things: The ability should start with "As ~ enters, ..." Else the ability would use the stack and try to do things after Faerie Isle has already entered the battlefield. Missing a . after . {melono}Theros-style land god. I can easily imagine this as a cycle. Nice card. Deathtouch trample is a mean combo that causes confusion in newer players.
{viriss}Simple yet interesting. While you have nothing to cast, this does something else.

elchetibo , I really like level up here! I'd steal it, but I think that would be a little unfair. So I'm doing something a bit different. Will take a page out of Amonkhet's bricks. Obsidian TowerLand - Tower , Pay 1 life: Add . Put a brick counter on ~. , : Target creature you control gains wither until end of turn. Activate only if there are three or more brick counters on ~. Edit: Removed sorcery speed requirement.

vizionarius, meanwhile, I had also designed a brick-based land without realizing you had posted one first. I'd considered posting it anyway, since it was already done, but I've instead opted to also pivot my design in a new direction.

elchetibo Feels like a good match for Urza's Tower. I think the last ability could be lower, but since it only creates creatures at that point it feels good, and not just making them for free is a good choice. vizionarius Brick counters fit the tower feel. I didn't see it with the sorcery requirement but instant speed seems okay since it's not giving poison or some other buff you'd normally give to an unblocked creature. Jartis (a tower of ideas leading to this one) Land with champion, and legendary at that! At mythic I wish it had a self-destruct to get the creature back eventually. But giving up to five mana is great. Flo00 Over a thousand cards can benefit from this land! Nice. One word! {Spoiler}{Results}
Winner elchetibo
