I love the art for the Terramorphic Expanse.

As for the new cards, I love the discover mechanic. But I am a little weary of it as it is effectively uncounterable effects unless you have multiple stifle effects in the set. And I am even more weary about The Gates of Creation as it is basically a free Exploration.

Thank you! Art is of supreme importance to me for this set. Alternity has been by-and-large designed as a top-down set.

There is currently a green cantrip that counters abilities of colorless permanents. But there is room for a another in blue or perhaps a redirect in red.

It's unrealistic but has to be in Alternity as a wink to my favorite set Legends, as well as as a means of personal catharsis.

Yea, the art you've chosen for these cards is very charming. Discover is a cool mechanic too, as has been said. I think it's a great kind of mechanic to keyword.

Gates of Creation however is pretty busted. How about something like:
"You may play an additional land on each of your turns if it that land doesn't share a name with a land you control." ← So here it has a clear usage in multicolor decks.
Another simpler idea:
"You may play an additional basic land on each of your turns." ← Slight nerf that keeps the design spirit. It's a bigger nerf in your set because players probably want lots of nonbasics with the Discover keyword, so this pushes them into a different archetype maybe?
