~ gets +1/+1 for each land you control
When ~ enters, you become the Realmshaper (As long as you're the Realmshaper, you may play an additional land during each of your turns. Whenever a creature deals combat damage to you, its controller becomes the Realmshaper.)
As long as you are the Realmshaper lands don't cause abilities of permanents your opponents control to trigger

Slashdance on Does "choose a creature" equal …
1 week ago
For anybody else reading this in the future, this answer is kind of misleading when viewed in a google search.
The main question in the headline is "does choosing a creature equal targeting a creature", and the answer is NO! Choosing is not targeting. Unfortunately, when searching on the internet, people will only see the subject, or headline, and below it will see the answer "Yes, it does". But the answer given by the 2nd user is referring to a follow-on question that is much more specific, asking, basically: "does my creature die?"
The second question is if Imperial Edict can kill a creature that has shroud (cannot be targeted). Yes, it can, because choosing is not targeting.

The challenge of running a two or three color deck is so low nowadays that I have a hard time getting upset at one specific facet of the land base of mtg. It’s great to reduce that “invest in a land base” barrier to entry for standard and modern, but I don’t even know how much of that is even played anymore. Lands are too far gone for me to worry about fetches.

On the one hand, the Fetchlands go a long way to supporting early game mana consistency. They help to make 3 to 5 colour decks more viable in competitive scenes and have been the backbone of decks that seek to play some very ambitious combinations of cards across multiple colours all in one deck. Those sorts of decks may have only ever been able to exist at the kitchen table if it weren't for the Fetchlands.
The flipside is that what a fetchland offers for zero mana cost is:
- Very efficient mana fixing when combined with multi-land type lands.
- A means of reducing your deck size by sacrificing itself to find another land to put on the battlefield. And the new land can enter untapped to boot.
- Puts a card in the graveyard for cards that care about the number and types of cards in a graveyard.
- Repeat targets for land recursion effects.
- A way to shuffle your library.
- A way to trigger cards that care if you sac a permanent or had a permanent leave the battle field.
- A way to get two landfall triggers in a turn.
- A way to trigger cards that care if you lost life.
Fetchlands offer so much potential gameplay with practically no cost in game to utilize. While I credited their ability for making very ambitions card choices competitively viable up above, there is the question of if that's a good thing for the game. As the power level of the game continues to creep up, Fetchlands can contribute to a constriction of deck diversity because they can enable a bunch of powerful cards to be played in a single deck that might have otherwise needed to find homes in different decks if players wanted to maintain consistency in their manabase.
What position you may take on the matter probably comes down to what you value in the game and the play experiences you prefer. WotC also has to take long-term game management into consideration too, so that also influences their views on the matter.

Introductory thought: it's kind of interesting that a fetchland can be something like Terramorphic Expanse or Brokers Hideout, but the fetchlands are unquestionably that cycle.
I'm glad they exist, and I'm happy when they get reprinted. There absolutely should not be any functional reprints. In the formats they're legal in, color restrictions and requirements lose a lot of their impact. Boros Burn splashed blue and green just for Oko, Thief of Crowns. Add in stuff like landfall (wasn't Omnath, Locus of Creation around at the same time? Warp dem formats!) and revolt (Fatal Push) and similar effects, and fetchlands offer a lot of utility in a lot of different directions.
As a thought experiment, if every set for the next couple of years had the fetchlands cycle, and they were preemptively banned in Standard, how would that affect people's deck building patterns? Ignore the financial stuff involved with suddenly flooding the market with a scarce commodity for now. Would that make different formats more accessible?

The only time I HATED them or had any negative feelings towards them was in 2014-2020 timeframe and felt really really gatekept from playing Modern by the price of fetchlands... wasted a lot of money on a lot of half built and or mediocre decks because I couldn't wrap my head around spending $40 on a single land let alone a playset or two.
Otherwise... honestly I love them... as far as constructed goes I personally love my pile decks... and savvy players can punish fetchlands/greedy mana bases.
I also love multicolored sets as well like Alara and Tarkir... Alara had to wait a bit before being able to gain access to the fetches but I think Tarkir should be the gold standard.

In this post, Mark Rosewater stated that he considers the fetchlands (Windswept Heath, Arid Mesa, and so forth) to be design mistakes, because of how easily they can fix a player's manabase, and, while I do not use the fetchlands in any of my decks, I know that many players are very fond of those lands, for that reason, so I am wondering how everyone else may feel about Rosewater's words.
What does everyone else say, about this subject? Do you agree that the fetchlands are design mistakes, or do you believe that Rosewater is being too critical of those cards? I certainly am interested to hear your thoughts, on this matter.

Apparently, WotC is printing only two new "battle lands" at this moment, radiant summit and vernal fen, which is very annoying, since they easily could have printed the red/blue land in that cycle, as well, and there is no indication of when they shall print the remaining three lands, but I do hope that WotC shall print those lands in Lorwyn Eclipsed, and I also hope that that set is where they reprint the other five shocklands, as well.
I definitely am fond of planetary annihilation, but I do wish that it had cost 6 mana instead of 5, because I believe that 5 mana is too low of a cost for an effect of that nature, and 6 also would have been a more thematically appropriate cost for that card, as well, since that card contains several other instances of the number 6.

Yes, this would absolutely be considered a bracket 4 deck. I usually just hit 3 as I start building a deck on tappedout so I can import them into tabletop sim fairly quickly when I've finished the list. I've updated it now, could probably do with a couple less gamechangers and make a more thoughtful sideboard to keep it within bracket 3.

I miss the old sensibilities WotC had when commissioning/choosing the artwork for the cards. There was so much variety and the idea of everything feeling same-y wasn’t much of an issue. Now nearly everything has homogenized into ‘character in action stance/hero pose, midfield focus, cg magic marker aesthetic’ and it’s really unappealing.

I definitely shall put vernal fen into this deck, but what land should it replace? I could replace a basic land, with it, but I wish to ensure that this deck still has sufficient basic lands, in the case that I use this deck against an opponent who has cards that punish the usage of non-basic lands, so I likely shall replace another dual land, with that one.

I am displeased at how this space opera set clashes so strongly with previous MTG sets, but I do appreciate how WotC is doing something so very different from any previous set, and many of the cards in this set are very awesome, indeed, and I am especially pleased that WotC is finally completing the cycle of dual lands from Battle for Zendikar (i.e., Prairie Stream, Canopy Vista, and so forth), as that cycle has been long overdue for being completed.
I know that I frequently as this question when WotC prints new creatures, but how is frenzied baloth remotely balanced? That creature is simply too powerful for a mere 2 mana, in my mind, so I hope that other users here agree with me, on that subject.
