Which is fine; in fact, if this tapped for colourless it would be Falls Market : Millikin :: Plains : Gold Myr, also evoking the conversion between 2-cost artifacts and lands shown by the Talismans / painlands, Prismatic Lens / Shimmering Grotto, etc. <br /><br />Fascinating point about looking for card art leading you to top-down designs.AlexChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674122775216494431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-16185157383215754452012-07-26T09:12:53.452-04:002012-07-26T09:12:53.452-04:00I didn't even think about that!

Since the effect is negative, at face value, that seems fine. In that scenario, the ability would be triggered: "Whenever Falls Market becomes tapped, forget 1."Jay Treathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428861685923241850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-28935186422084625252012-07-24T22:50:23.702-04:002012-07-24T22:50:23.702-04:00Interesting as a Threshold enabler.

I want to say a quick thank you because initially, all of my designs were top down and, thanks to this blog, I've been able to look at some things from a bottom up perspective.<br /><br />I love this. As soon as I saw it I started thinking of what the rest of the cycle would look like. (not saying that it needs to be a cycle, it's beautifully designed as is) Also, I wonder what the ramifications of it being either a Basic Land or an Island would be. I know those two categories are doled out ever so sparingly because of the power implications but this card just looks so... harmless...Hevaenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16354353334585116017noreply@blogger.com
