Land

Lochs of Dread Cycle
Looks fine by me.

Dustland
This card is really restricitve, but ok...

River of Souls
I think the original is less wordy, more playable, and less confusing. But not by much...I'll settle with Landkillers version.

Steaming Caldera and Cycle
We should end right here.
A) Were not having Enemy-Ally colors
B) There are already Tri-Lands.

Place of Power
Excellent. Some people may want to add a CIPT clause, but I think its fine now.

Sewer of the Rat God
I suggest calling this card Rat Sewers...
The activation cost for the Rat token thing should be at least 1BB.

Sheltered Vale

Sheltered Vale Beta -- OG by NeuroDeus
Land
Sheltered Vale comes into play tapped.
As Sheltered Vale comes into play, return a land to your hand and choose a color. While untapped, Sheltered Vale may not be the target of spells or abilities.
T:Add one mana of the chosen color to your mana pool.

That seems pretty good...

Nether Citadel
Make the creature dmg ability read, "Whenever any ceature becomes tapped, Nether Citadel deals 1 damage it. That creature does not untap during its controllers next untap step.

Hell's Garden, Starlit Cemetery, Boiling Springs, Sacred Volcano, Faerie Capital
There pretty intresting, but again the colors. We should def save these for a later set though.

Abyssal Prison
My take on this:

Abyssal Prison Beta
Legendary Land
T, Sacrifice a creature : Target creature gets -X-X, where X is equal to the power of the sacrificed creature.
3, T, Sacrifice X creatures: Put X Labor counters on Abyssal Prison.
T:Add X mana to your mana pool, where X is the number of Labor counters on Abyssal Prison. Remove all counters on Abyssal Prison.

...This one seems pretty good to me.

Athaneum
"When you play a land, return Athaneum to your hand."
Other than that, its good.

Cleansed Shrine
I like this new take on it, but three lands is way to much. Two lands is a better idea I think.

Bauble Mine
This is REALLY good...I cant think of a way to make it balanced without making it suck. Ideas?

Snow Globe
Ok.

Glacial Aviary
This is cool...your right though, theres not that many penguins in the set. Unless you wanna go through and suggest penguin type for excisting blue cards, or make a helluva alot of penguin cards, this should be cut.

Mythical Ruins
Make the leave play ability give you two cards, and only if you pay 1.
"When a permanent you control leaves play, you may sacrifice Mythical Ruins and pay 1.
If you do, draw a card. "


Marsh Extractors
Is this possibly a balanced Dark Ritual? Maybe, maybe.
I like it.

Illicit Academy
This would be used as a simple card drawer in every non-blue deck possible.
"You may only play Illicit Academy if you control at least one island"

Quaking Hills
This should deal 1 dmg. I suggest we cut this, since we do have Dustland.

Monster's Territory
Change to "You cant play creatures"

Hall of Ceremonies
Should come into play tapped.

Rotting Fields, Inquisitor's Tower
Cut the Sacrifice land and the mana producing abilities.

Illusionary Palace, Forgotten Cabin, Conquered Township Cut the mana abilties, and change all the sac land things to "Sacrifice a land"

Flight of Stairs
Can someone for the lack of god give this a different name!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont understand how it itself can have a lsot counter on it. Should the lost counter ability be open to both players during their upkeep?

Hidden Cave
Seperate the last ability into two:
T: Add 1 to your mana pool.
0: Return Hidden Cave to your hand.
If we do that, this needs to come into play tapped.

Emmei Tribe Village
Cut anything that has to do with Exile counters...other than that good.

Unstable Valley
Cut.

Rice Fields
This card is ok...I think its kinda broken though.

Quicksand Maelstrom
Ok.

Illusionary Maze
Excellent card...perhaps the CIPT isnt even needed?

Drifitng Tumblweeds, Wayward Isle, Sinking Marsh, Mold Coverings
Ok.

Muddy Battlegrounds
The new drawback looks good.

Dragon Breeding Ground
Cut.

Ancient Homeland
Good, but reword too:
"When Ancient Homeland comes into play, each player chooses a creature type"

Diamond Mine
Cut.

Excellent job Landkiller! Im SO sorry you had to do this over!
