Destroy target land. Its controller draws a card.

Sorcery
Destroy target land. Its controller may put a land card from his or her hand onto the battlefield.

(Can I just say Its controller may play a land? That sounds like it would count towards the 1 land a turn limit.)

Mandatory Schooling
Enchantment
Whenever an opponent draws a card, he or she taps an untapped creature he or she controls.

Natural Succession

Whenever a creature you control dies, you may put a creature card from your hand onto the battlefield.
The flies are eaten by the frog, the frog is eaten by the crow. When the crow dies, it is eaten by the fox; when the fox dies, it is eaten by the flies...

I don't know what a fair price for this is. But that's a development thing.

Wildflower Fields
Land
Wildflower Fields enters the battlefield tapped.
: Add to your mana pool.
, : Add , , or to your mana pool.

I guess it's pretty weak but still

Try this:

Wildflower Fields
Land - Plains
~ enters the battlefield tapped.
(:t:: Add to your mana pool.)
, : Add of any color to your mana pool.

Probably add a lifegain/scry clause to it too, like "scry 1 and you gain 1 life." Then again that might be too crazy.

Basic land types on nonbasics are a mistake

finally someone who gets it

wow a rare monster has appeared

Pearly Halls

Pearly Halls enters the battlefield tapped with a charge counter on it.

, Remove a charge counter from Pearly Halls: Add , , or to your mana pool.

Look at the top card of your library. You may put that card into your graveyard.

how can two people be so wrong

i only see one wrong person in the above post

Ghostly Vengeance

Ghostly Vengeance deals 3 damage to target creature or player and you gain 3 life.
Flashback

Less for the effect itself and more because after all this years we still haven't got flashback on multicolored cards.

Clearwater Pool
Land
Clearwater Pool enters the battlefield tapped.
When Clearwater Pool enters the battlefield, scry 1.
: Add to your mana pool.

Common workhorse lands. I am pretty sure these are going to happen at some point.

Off colour flashback is more versatile than gold flashback, though it means the effect has to be hybrid instead of gold.

Your other card is New Benalia

More versatile in the sense that it doesn't require a set to have a bigger gold emphasis, but on an individual level they are easier to make precisely because gold is less limited than hybrid.


Yup. The idea is less the card itself but its cycle-fication.

Helps with tutoring the thing to make it more powerful. Also there's chained to the rocks.


Anyhow, I think the New Benalia cards need more power. Theros gave us something better.

For example...

New Benalia
Land - Plains
~ enters the battlefield tapped. When it enters the battlefield, scry 1.

I mean more versatile for the players. For example they can be run in decks that don't intend to flashback. It's not really a problem for the designers since every set has gold now.

Destroy target land if it's nonbasic.
If ~ was kicked, instead destroy target land if it is basic or nonbasic.

There's a good reason why those don't exist

Hmm, yeah, the counterspell is probably too good. Time for a new version.

Should it go up to three turns to compensate for the smaller cost reduction? It's not exactly easy to play turn 1 after all.

I thought that sorcery speed and nonbasic only might have made 2 mana land destruction doable, but I guess it's just not in the cards
