Segue Game

Your card doesn’t care whether or not it’s attached to a land, so fortifying is just a waste of mana.

Up: Saving only two creatures, and potentially an opponent's creatures, is rough. That said, it's the kind of high risk, high reward card that I love playing in my decks. That said, with a card like Phyrexian Scriptures, I'd say the cost might be a smidge high, but nothing I'd worry about too much, honestly. 8/10

Prophecy of the God-Pharoh 
Enchantment - Saga 
(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after III.)

I: For each creature, put X -1/-0 counters on it, where X is its mana cost.
II: Destroy all creatures with power 0 or less.
III: Creatures in your graveyard gain Eternalize U/B/R until end of turn. (The editor has tri-hybrid mana symbols but if the forums do I can't figure it out.)

Old: Cares about power 0 or less
New: Has an ability word

Up: 10/10, I'd love to try making a deck around this card with cards that are normally defensive and/or ability-focused in nature. I also love landfall abilities so you've double got my thumbs up. Don't know how broken/underpowered it'd be, but I love the design.

Contagion Pipeline 
Artifact
Landfall - Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, you may pay . If you do, proliferate. (You choose any number of permanents and/or players with counters on them, then give each another counter of a kind already there.)
( can be paid with either  or 2 life.)
The more room there is to grow, the more room there is to bless.

Old: Has a keyword action (ex. scry, proliferate, draw)
New: Has a mana-activated ability.

Up: Very off-template wording, but a nice flying hater. The additional first strike hate is interesting.
And like gluestick248 wrote, it needs p/t. Or is the tiny 1/1 it's p/t?

Spider Dragon
Creature - Spider Dragon
Reach
: Spider Dragon gets +1/+0 until end of turn.
1/4

Old: Dragon
New: Hexproof

Up: I like it, good futureshift of Dragon Whelp. I think it is appropriately costed (with the partial hexproof it's hard to tell without playtesting). Like the fact that it is only partial hexproof.

Up: Fun card for a limited environment with poison.

Blessed Grounds
Land
Ascend (If you control ten or more permanents, you get the city’s blessing for the rest of the game.)
: Add .
, : Remove a poison counter form target player. Activate this ability only if you have the city’s blessing.

Old: Land
New: Haste

Up: 7/10 (are we still doing grades?) Interesting for possibly a deck designed around land enchantments. Enchanted it should become a better land, but at the same time it becomes more fragile, when turning into a creature and you might shoot yourself in the foot. Interesting question to pose yourself, but is probably not that powerful because of it.

Flock of Clouds
Creature - Elemental Bird
Flash
Defender, flying, haste
: Target creature gets +1/+2 and gains flying until end of turn.
I quite like my head inside the clouds, though. It's as nice and fluffy there as you'd think.
-Hermit Lyrene



Old: A defensive ability.
New: Is an Elemental

Up: Oof, this would've been perfect if it was Mardu and had Vigilance. As it currently is it's hard for me to consider it useful compared to other Dragons at CMC6, but it might yet find use in an EDH deck that makes things attack.

Embodiment of Devotion
Creature - Elemental
~'s power and toughness are each equal to your devotion to green.
*/*

Old: Devotion
New: Has a subtype named "Tower"

Thank god, I was really hoping for a Tower of Babel reference and was really disappointed I couldn't be the one to make it. XD

I had trouble with legibility from the Tengwar in the background, but it was a fun cardframe after all. I would have used Brick counters instead of Ascension counters to try to fit it into Amonkhet's Near East theme, but the sky's the limit with weird counters to put on lands (looking at you Luckyman's Caverns . Additionally, while it seems obvious to play this in a monowhite human deck, I think this could get wildly out of hand considering other incredible humans such as Magus of the Candelabra with infinite mana engines like Staff of Domination so long as the casual player resists the urge to go all in on Kithkins. Also, 6 life for a land that taps for up to 5 mana with no other downsides, sign me up! Mechanically I don't think it makes sense to have devotion count anything it wasn't designed to but now the balance is off since we can stick way more than six counters on there. If I were to keep the concept, I would probably do something that doesn't try to subvert the mana system, like a Storage land that could only hold 2 or 3 counters.

It was a challenge for sure, and it definitely should not be in limited with Manamorphose, but I got something new:


Old: Hybrid matters
New: Artifact Creature - Scarecrow

Up: Wording things around hybrid mana costs can be finicky, but it looks pretty good to me.

If Lorwyn is the day to Shadowmoor's night, then a nice scarecrow is the obvious answer.

Protection 
Artifact Creature - Scarecrow Elemental Avatar 
Vigilance
If a land you control would be destroyed, search your library for a basic land card and put it onto the battlefield instead. Then shuffle your library.
When Protection is put into a graveyard from anywhere, shuffle it into its owner’s library.
6/6

Old: From Lorwyn (not Shadowmoor)
New: Instant speed

Flash flying fairy that lets you loot via instants? Solid card, could be printed as is. 10/10



old: Artifact
new: Cares about enchantments

Up: It looks in color pie to me. I like how it flavorfully protects your Gods and other enchantments.

Nyxborn Reclaimer
Enchantment Creature — Human Cleric
When Nyxborn Reclaimer dies, you may exile it. When you do, return target enchantment creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield.
2/2

Old: Exiles itself
New: Three colors
