Just wording:
"At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player chooses a basic land type. All lands that player controls become lands of the chosen type until end of turn."
This card really messes with multicolored decks. I like it!

I still think that it would only affect lands in play during the upkeep, but it'd be confusing as whether they become the chosen type in addition to their normal or just become them.
I don't know how to word it if you want it to effect lands yet to be put into play..
(except for adding "As that player would put land into play this turn, that land becomes a land of the chosen type until end of turn")

Blood Moon - Nonbasic lands are Mountains. (9th edition wording)
Since this affects lands that CIP,
"All lands that player controls are lands of the chosen type until end of turn."
will also affect CIP lands and since Blood Moon replaces all aspects of a land, except non-basic super-type and some CIP effects.

The problem with this wording is, that a continuous effect (like Blood Moon) doesn't have a duration (other than its existence). If an ability never triggers, what turn does it refer to with "until end of turn".
We could try
"At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player chooses a basic land type.
During each players turn, all lands that player controls become lands of the type he or she choose last".
But that would create something weird the turn you play it (it would do nothing, because no type has been chosen yet)
I'd rather we stick to the previous wording (it just wouldn't affect the land played that turn. Too bad).

If a player has no upkeep step, then the EOT will not matter as the ability never triggers. If, somehow the EOT trigger is skipped then it would continue until there was an EOT trigger. Is there a way to skipp the EOT trigger?Limited said:
I'm not really seeing a problem with this being a continuos triggered ability, with a duration.

No, I mean if we word it like a continuous effect, it has no trigger. And the term "until end of turn" refers to a turn. What turn is that then? The turn it came into play? Every turn?
If you read a card that said "All islands are forest until end of turn" you'd assume that it was an instant or sorcery, because of the duration of the spell. "All islands are forests" has no duration and is probably on an enchantment (or at least on a permanent)
If we split the two abilities of this card (naming a land type and changing the lands) we'll always have a problem with the second one referring to something determined by the other.
I still think the neatest solution is to turn it into one triggered ability that unfortunately doesn't affect lands not in play at the time.

I don't know. I like the concept of having the restriction to not-yet-in-play lands.
During each players upkeep, that player chooses a basic land type. All lands that player controls become lands of the chosen type.
At the end of each turn, all lands become their original type.

"At the beginning of each players upkeep, that player chooses a basic land type.
All lands that player controls become lands of the type chosen this turn during that players turn."
This still leaves an eerie window in which the lands are unaffected because no choice has been made yet, but it should work.

This would also work, but it still seems like a lot of duct tape to add a little bit of effect.Mooseman said:

Yes, while the trigger is on the stack, lands are still their original type, but let someone figure out how to abuse or use this. It's a small, small window.Limited said:

Here are the rarity percentages of the last 4 sets.....
Common - 36%
Rare - 31%
Uncommon - 33%
It's almost an even 1/3 split
Here is our breakout for cards listed in "Cut the Confusion"
R 34
U 48
C 94
total cards = 176
This is for the cards we have finalized. We still have 22 cards to go and then all the cards that have been made since then.
What size do we want this to be? We about 240 total cards.
Should this be? Ravnica was about 300, disennsion was 180, Guild Pact was 165.
Id say make this about 200.

I had it pegged as a common as well. Usually, you'll be able to use it as burn, unless someone doesn't control a creature.. And if you control a creature with Double Strike, its a nice gamble.

Resourceful Hero 2RW
Creature - Human Knight (Rare)
First Strike
As long as you control no tapped lands, <THIS> has +2/+0
As long as you control no untapped lands, <THIS> has +0/+2
2/2
If you choose to attack with it, you'll probably attack before casting spells, so it'll be a 4/2..
Then during the rest of your turn (or, after first strike damage is on the stack) you play all sorts of combat tricks and he'll become 2/4.
And if you control no lands, its a 4/4
(My thanks to Spiderman for the idea).
