• A land card has a white color identity if it has anywhere in its rules text or have Plains subtype; likewise for green color identity, and Forest subtype; you can read more about color identity here.
• Your card can't have other colors in its color identity; basically, if you couldn't play your land in Trostani, Selesnya's Voice commander deck, it doesn't pass the challange.
• Make sure to include a rarity.

Itlimoc in Ruins
Legendary Land (Mythic)
Itlimoc in Ruins enters the battlefield tapped unless you control five or more creatures.
T: Add G. If you control five or more creatures, you gain 1 life.
7GGG, T: Create a 1/1 black Fungus creature token with "This creature can't block" for each land you control.

The untapped clause is pretty harsh. The mana ability is fine. The activated ability is a nice callback to a pretty under-utilized token. I like the "can't block" use of this. The land can be non-legendary and still make sense.

Thallid Thicket
Land — Forest (Uncommon)
(: Add .)
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a spore counter on Thallid Thicket.
Remove three spore counters from Thallid Thicket: Create a 1/1 green Saproling creature token.

Very simple and clean. Problem is, this is strictly better than a basic forest. This card should have either not be a forest, or enter the battlefield tapped, possibly both.

Field of Vitality
Land (rare)
Field of Vitality enters the battlefield tapped.
Whenever you gain for the first time each turn, you may untap Field of Vitality.
T: Add w.

Pretty hard card to evaluate. On one hand, it should probably be fine as it enters the battlefield tapped. On the other hand, it can sometimes provide two white mana in a turn. Pretty interesting and simple card that's probably not auto-include even in a dedicated life-gain decks.

Wood-Edge Clachan
Land (R)
Wood-Edge Clachan enters the battlefield tapped unless there is a Kithkin card in your graveyard.
T: Add G.
2W: Until end of turn, Wood-Edge Clachan becomes a 3/3 white Kithkin Soldier creature with vigilance and protection from mana value 3 or greater. It's still a land.

Strong Lorwyn energy right here. I wish Lorwyn had more green Kithkins and this card could have slide right in there. The untapped clause is simple but unique, the mana ability is interesting because we have so few green Kithkins so it acts as a small drawback, and the animate ability is pretty nice callback to Mistmeadow Skulk. 3/3 is pretty big for a Kithikin, but not unreasnable.

1ww: Martyrdom of Aelies becomes a 3/4 creature with lifelink until end of turn.

A lot is going on here. Enchantment land and not enters tapped but legendary, and being an enchantment can be a drawback, the animate ability is very strong and the last ability is unique. It can completly hose decks that use a lot of Fertile Ground cards, and you can animate this and change a creature removal or auras to it. Really hard to evaluate.

Land of the Goats

Name is fine. Abilities are fine. I can't imagine this being the Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx of the Goats' deck (I now realize it actually it works only with tokens) but I also can't imagine it see exactly zero play. People will try to break it and probably fail. It's a cute riff on Springjack Pasture.

Green does go with Kithkin but I think of blue with soldiers. Then gain this is Lorwyn.
The protection part is rather powerful. So this would be the best defense creature land. I think just the vigilance part overkill.

Makes me wish Flagbearer would be mad again even though this is a single effect. For it's tap effect to work most of the time would would need to make it a creature.

I like this a lot. I want a farm animal batching mechanic. Even with it coming into play tapped and the added mana boost I see this better than Kher Keep and do see it's update to Springjack Pasture [/card]

The new subtype having some unique ability is nice. Such as how lairs use to be the original bounce lands.

Arnabiem, Home to the Rabbitfolk
Legendary Land (Mythic)
When Arnabiem enters the battlefield, target opponent creates a 1/1 green and white Rabbit creature token with a +1/+1 counter on it.
T: Add G or W. Each player may either populate or proliferate.

Since you benefit too from the added tap effect it's seems too powerful. That not counting it coming into play untapped with no downside but an upside with the token. Just feel no lands should on their own be better than the original dual lands. Being legendary makes it worst because it can now me tutored more easily and have plenty of support.

Seems balanced. Has the effect of people counting your lands each turn to see when the big boost goes off. Likely 10 creatures added on at the end of another player's turn then your turn you do an overrun effect or have support already.

KB52665 - I like land typal themes a lot, and "Scape" is abstract enough to work for every color. I'm just not sure about balance concerns here: Scapeshift, for example, looks like a ticket to a ton of extra mana, but even without broken combos, the single extra mana can be huge.

netn10 - This is a really original design that's splashy and fun, but I'm concerned that the drawback is nowhere near enough for simply the ability to populate/proliferate with mana ability timing. In other words, really interesting but probably broken.

kwanyeegor-ii - Flavor makes sense I would say. That is a doozy of a final activated ability - I'm a bit reticent about putting finisher abilities on lands not only for not taking up a spell slot but also for the resilience of the type. At least the tokens are LCI fungi, which have the recent trend of being unable to block so they don't gum up the board.

AnotherAlias - It's frankly the basic land type that pushes this over the edge for me - I don't think a card like this should be fetchable. Feels very Modern Horizons, but at LEAST this needs to ETB tapped.

Henlock - Enchantment lands might make broken things happen with constellation, but ehh - this is another creative design with a fun new subtype so pushed or not I really like it.

marioguy3 - Really nice design, with the only thing I don't like being the name: it seriously feels like the playtest name and is way too on-the-nose. Feels like a Lorwyn design like Springjack Pasture.
