Re: A cycle of Level Up Lands

The double mana on the green one still goes against expectations. If four members of a five-color cycle (or the five-color part of a six-kind-cycle) produce a single mana than the expectation is that the fifth will as well. And it is much more powerful that way. Plus the colorless member of the cyc...

Re: A cycle of Level Up Lands

So I realised that being locked into the 2 mana thing was really hurting my ability to balance. I kept the Green as the original (it's green, and a bad The Great Henge) and made the others a little less rampy so the added effects can work.

Re: Bragging Rights

I once pointed out to Matt of the rules team that Legendary creatures didn't have any comp rule support for short names, and they added it.

I then pointed out the rules broke Dralnu, Lich Lord's printed wording, so they errata'd Dralnu, then fixed the legend rule.

Re: A cycle of Level Up Lands

Yeah, you're right. It's just not possible to add any effects that are even remotely balanced when I made the original one so weak, which is the one I liked to begin with because it wasn't meant to be a strong, rare land effect. I just gave up and made it a bog standard, boring identical cycle. http...

Re: A cycle of Level Up Lands

People complained it was too close to The Great Henge then. That and people saying it was worthless because it taps for C and can't pump themselves making them dead draws in the early game. I just don't know what to think anymore I keep getting mutually exclusive feedback.

Yes, I know that. I was asking if reflexive triggers can still target without affecting the mana portion.

In any case, it's a moot point as I have switched to a Forbidden Orchard style wording where the two abilities are independent.

Re: A cycle of Level Up Lands

Fair enough. How about this set? The white land caused an infinite mana loop, so that had to be nixed. I changed the Red land to be a minor creature buff that you can't activate at instant speed. The Wastelands I have changed to be a minor mana ramp buff to benefit your colourless spells. This vers...

Re: A cycle of Level Up Lands

I agree that it was weaker than the Urzatron, far weaker. It meant you literally could not have any non- producing permanents on the battlefield. If you had a Prophetic Prism? No bonus. A plain old Island? No bonus. To lock you into literally mono- made me feel it was one of those kinds of cards wh...

Mana Abilities, Reflexive Triggers, and Targets

So, to cut it short, I want to make an ability that taps for mana and also gives an additional effect. What's the best way to do this so things don't break? [sym=tap]: Add [sym=w][sym=w]. When you do, untap a creature you control with power 2 or less. [sym=tap]: Add [sym=u][sym=u]. When you do, tap ...

Re: A cycle of Level Up Lands

I don't think you needed to power down Barren Wasteland at all, as it was, it was no stronger than the Urzatron, indeed I'd argue that it was slightly weaker than the Urzatron, and the Locus lands. Also, as a side note on the art, I really dig that Ankor Wat (or a similar ruin) is used for the art ...

Re: A cycle of Level Up Lands

Did some tweaking. Does the reflexive trigger on Slumbering Volcano avoid the mana ability issues? Should it be knocked down to 2 damage? Same for Remote Atoll. If not, how would you suggest I word them? Should Forlorn Stronghold be able to untap power 3 creatures or just be a flat untap? Is Barren ...

Re: A cycle of Level Up Lands

For the white one, how about "When you do, untap target white creature."? That fits with white's mechanical space, flavors with a guard manning the stronghold, and isn't terribly powerful, while still being useful. Nice idea! I like it. The blue one seems a just bit weak, but I feel like ...
