Cool Card Design of the Day5/9/2017 - Ditch is a smoothing mechanic. It's free, conditional cycling. Could go on anything (except planeswalkers… and it would be awkward on sorceries/instants since they're not the same type), but is ideal on land.
It's also entirely likely that ditch isn't appropriate to be used on many cards, in which case it wouldn't be keyworded and could very well only appear on Some Ditch.
Mechanically, does this mean "reveal three other" or is it including itself?
ReplyDeleteThe intention is that you have four.
DeleteOf course that number could easily change in playtesting.

Whenever a creature you control with -1/-1 counters on it dies, draw a card.

I like this a lot, but it's very strong. We can remove "discard or" and it's still an upgrade to exploit we can use on lands.
DeleteExploit is always an option, because those creatures can sacrifice themselves. Exploit abilities also tend to be better than drawing a card, being a known spell effect you get without an additional cost
