#MTGMoxtober Day 6: Plot

 ZoMbIeS!!!!

 

Card of the Day - Wasteland Temple

Card of the Day - Tersh, the Walled City

I like legendary land walls.

Card of the Day - Tull, Desert City

If you don't know by now, I'm very excited for the Dark Tower movie to show up at my local theater in July.  Tull is the first inhabited place visited by the Gunslinger in the first book of the Dark Tower series.

Card of the Day - Shipwreck Coast

I don't often make cards from the art I see, but this one popped up /r/imaginarylandscapes and I was blown away.  The card itself is pretty strong, especially in a Pirate deck.  Or a Human deck, for that matter. Or a blue deck. Just any blue deck, probably.

Card of the Day - Verdant Seashore

I was challenged to make more common cards.  Each card I make this week will be common.

Today's card is trying to solve the problem of fixing 3 color mana bases. The Ravnica block bouncelands do a very similar thing, as do the lairs from Planeshift.  I like to think of these as a more elegant version of the lairs.

Card of the Day - City of Dreams

A land that taps for any color of mana needs to have a drawback.

Card of the Day - Tersh, Crown City

Making duals legendary is a reasonable drawback.  This one has the added bonus of being snow, making it a pseudo-triland.

Card of the Day - Burned Field

Here is one of the four uncommon dual lands from Hellfire.  Each of them enters the battlefield tapped unless you control a basic Mountain. I got the inspiration for the Burned lands from the Tainted lands of Torment.  As the cards come out, you will notice a lot is borrowed from that set in particular.

Card of the Day - Lava Pit

It may seem as if you wouldn't want to deal damage to yourself, but you haven't seen Hellfire yet.  It will all make sense tomorrow.

Card of the Day - Saltsea Shore

There have been a lot of drawbacks attached to the rare dual land cycle of each set.  This drawback gets more harsh depending on where you play it.

In a casual setting, a lot of folks won't even remember what you've shown, but if you're playing a big tournament, you can be sure that your opponent will get out her notebook to jot down exactly what you have.

Card of the Day - Calcite Chapel

Card of the Day - Mystical Mire

Card of the Day - Bren, City of Trades

Rare lands in Frostmere.

Card of the Day - Crystal Spire

Card of the Day - Temur Stormlands

This is what I want to see in Khans of Tarkir.  Is that too much to ask?

Card of the Day - Xathrid Blightlands

Card of the Day - Ancient Lighthouse

I could see this printed as is.  A slight tweak would involve a nominal cost to take a peek.

Card of the Day - Verdant Thornwood

Card of the Day - Faerie Wood

Edit: I know that land under the NWO is supposed to tap for mana.  I just wanted to make something a little different. The Faerie Wood is an enchanted place, that's why it's a land.  Here's an updated version, with more landlike abilities. (I also added land as a trigger, because it just feels right.)
