CCDD 123115—Find Beauty

Cool Card Design of the Day
12/31/2015 - I'd like green to have a little bit of incidental life gain in each block. Time to Feed and Aerial Predation are great examples. Found a spot for another.

  1. I think this can cost G and still be wrong to play most of the time, right?

    1. This feels wrong to play in all sub-tricolor formats. Not ramping is huge.

    2. And in some ways playing three colors makes it worse, because what if you don't draw Green?

      I think what Caravan Vigil effects need is Cycling 2.

    3. I suppose I should call them Lay of the Land effects?

    4. The last time Lay of the Land was printed was in M14, where it got a 1.5 Limited rating from both ChannelFireball and TCGPlayer. That seems about right, maybe even a bit generous.

      FWIW, I'd totally play the following card:

      Futurecrop
      (Green) Sorcery
      Basic landcycling {2}
      Cycling {2}

    5. Similar thought, I think this becomes supportable if it's an instant.

    6. You're right about this being weak, of course.

      It could be Rampant Growth +3 life for 2G, or remain the same but grant more life and/or cost less, or be instant, etc.
