Not because it's bad design, but because this is one of those cards where either we nerf it until it's terrible and no longer reads well or we risk causing huge problems in every format of the game.<br /><br />Horizon Canopy is strong enough already and instead of costing 1 to draw a card, this card generates mana while doing it. I would play this in virtually any deck that wants lands, and it's extra scary in Dredge.Sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02090253014943762842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-26684937065084601872018-10-09T11:12:35.065-04:002018-10-09T11:12:35.065-04:00Brass Once Threshold Land

Can it be tweaked, maybe ETBT or adding a mana cost, possibly with another upside if needed?<br /><br />I wish the mana ability could be separated, but it's hard to do "any mana once" without then sacrificing the land. I guess this is why we end up with lands with awkward counters on them.<br /><br />I guess "produce any colour of mana on turn 6" would be too wacky?Jack (cartesiandaemon)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08258267965242039995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-28115891725260476622018-10-08T23:50:09.707-04:002018-10-08T23:50:09.707-04:00Apparently it's spelled Archaeological Dig.Apparently it's spelled <a rel="nofollow">Archaeological Dig</a>.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06803916827160490122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-2530702511323958412018-10-08T23:49:27.538-04:002018-10-08T23:49:27.538-04:00It's Archeological Dig but strictly better.
