Earthshaper

[netherspirit]

This is basically a version of Meddling Mage that hits lands instead; yeah I know the name sucks but it's all I could think of to fit the art I found.

Earthshaper
 
Creature - Elf Wizard
When Earthshaper comes into play, name a nonbasic land card.
The named card cannot be played.
Activated abilities of the named card cannot be played.
2/2

The second ability is added because the card would probably be too weak without it; this on a dual land won't help much if they've already fetched a copy, and in non eternal formats this probably won't see huge amounts of play anyway.

Any thoughts?

Current Wording:

I think it is fine, though I'm not sure how green it is.

Well I didn't want it to be monowhite as that may prove too strong, and the only other colors it could be are blue and green. It feels more green than blue to me as blue can't counter lands, so green seems the natural choice.

There's nothing wrong with it; it being green isn't awful, but I can't really think of a whole lot of green non-basic land hosers. Indeed, I was more thinking red as a second color. But green is entirely justifiable, as it does have something to do with lands and green does care about land cards.
