Possibly Useful Land.

[KandyKid]

Geez..havent been on here in half a year...

Anyways, was just looking through a bunch of random land that im selling and this came to mind:

XXNoNameXX

Land

All lands come into play untapped (this includes your opponent's lands).
You can only play one land per turn.

I want this card to have a mechanic that allows you to play one additional land per turn, but don't know where to start, possibly:

 : You may play one additional land this turn.

Possibly a pile of crap, but atleast its a new pile

Current Wording:

XXNoNameXX

If a land would come into play tapped, instead it comes into play untapped.
: You may play an additional land this turn.
: Add one colorless mana to your mana pool.

I don't think that it's necessary to have "You can play only one land each turn" on the card.  That's already a rule of the game, so it shouldn't need to be repeated.  I am curious -- is there something about this land that you think is so novel that it merits the exclusion of a mana ability?

I would say that the ability, which might need to read, "If a land would come into play tapped, instead it comes into play untapped" really sounds like something that belongs on a green enchantment.

No, no reason why this can not produce mana, I was thinking of it producing colorless but I didn't know if it would suit the card.

I didnt want this to get abused by fastbond/exploration with lands that produce multiple mana (ie, those new CIPT bounce lands). When I think about it though, that would be a 3-card combo, which isn't all that great.

How about:

XXNoNameXX

If a land would come into play tapped, instead it comes into play untapped.
: You may play an additional land this turn.
: Add one colorless mana to your mana pool.

For some reason, this just seems unbalanced, any ideas?

It's a 2 card combo if this can produce mana the turn it comes into play. You get a first turn  (ok, not that great), second turn add  to your pool, play a Karoo (untapped), tap it for  (for example), pay the effect allowing you to play an extra land this turn with the bounce ability on the stack, bounce this and replay it. You then get a second    from it. Untap turn 3, add  to your pool, play a second Karoo, bouncing this and have  available to you.

Probably a very good two card interaction. I'd put the ability cost  up to  if it was a current standard card but otherwise it's pretty sweet for the older formats.
