Hey guys, here's a Time Walk reprint from my set, criticism would be much appreciated!! Stream Through Time Legendary Land T: Put a time counter on Stream Through Time. T, Remove 3 time counters from Stream Through Time, Sacrifice Stream Through Time: Take an extra turn after this one. So, what do you guys think? I had originally planned to make it a plain old Sorcery, but thought it would be too boring, so I went with the land idea. Any ideas? Current Wording:
Stream Through Time
Legendary Land
 :Add  to your mana pool.
 , : Put a time counter on Stream Through Time.
 , , Remove 3 time counters from Stream Through Time, Sacrifice Stream Through Time: Take an extra turn after this one. |

How about choosing a non-legend creature? Otherwise he is a UG instant Wrath of Frog. |

I know this is odd, but, I prefer it not tapping for mana, it means I can be a little more relaxed on the other abilities. I know that lands tap for mana these days, but still. I'll add the mana ability, and add an additional cost on the time counter ability.

First off, lands pretty much have to have mana abilities these days. Second, this is basically just a bad Magistrate's Scepter:  |

With the mana ability it is a vastly improved Magistrate's Sceptre
Uncounterable + lower mana investment> reusability
Instead of the
Tap: Add 1 to your mana pool.
Why not lower the power level but keep on theme?
Tap: Add 1 to your mana pool and skip your next turn

@Dandan: I like your idea, but I feel that would make it too weak, if it produced 2 mana instead of 1 I'd be able to see it skip your turn for mana.

How about just putting a fair cost on the tap to add a counter ability?

What would you consider a fair cost? |

What would you consider a fair cost? Well, greater than zero mana would be a start. Use Magistrate's Scepter as a guideline. , Put a charge counter on Magistrate's Scepter. , Remove three charge counters from Magistrate's Scepter: Take another turn after this one. So, four is a good start. Then, consider the reusability of Scepter compared to the utility of being a land. You might need to make the mana ability pretty awful to keep this balanced. |
