Might I suggest they be something like this:
"When Prospering Marshland enters the battlefield, you may pay 2 life. If you don't, choose black, green, or blue. Prospering Marshland can't produce mana of the chosen color."
Provides some additional flexibility and decision-making, and enables it to function like a tap triland, but with a small drawback. Actually, maybe those could be their own kind of land cycle alongside yours! The Wizards should take some advice from you on new nonbasic lands! aaaaa! (You do also have a typo where yo say "choose [a] blue..." and don't forget about color combination order...then again, the Wizards are very inconsistent with three-colour orders, HHH.)
2 damage really isn't as much as you think it is.
But otherwise, thanks for the praise.
Also, for the order, I used WURBG, do UBG. Is that wrong? If so, why? I really hate the inconsistency with dem symbols!
Tin-Lon spends his time in a flooded cathedral on the northern edge of our territory. He uses the magical water as a base for various elixirs, many of which he gives to our troops.
Honestly, at first I thought that the way you did three-colour enemies was putting the common enemy first (i.e. green is the common enemy of blue and black, so it would be GUB, but if you look at actual MTG cards, it's ordered BGU.
No idea why!
Interesting card. Pumping out X/X tokens with f l y i n g every turn could really add up quickly. Dang.
For functional purposes, here are some suggestions (really only needed if you plan to use untap.in when those events roll around):
I think "Whenever a card enters a command zone..." would work better, since a spell doesn't ever enter a zone other than the stack. Also: "...untap another [target] creature you control." And that activation cost should be "{x}{2}, {t}: ..."
Oh. You're right then, I will change it

I'll continue to add cards at a later time.
• An overseer of some kind
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/bhaman-head-of-wish
Our genie leader, Bhaman, can provide anything. For a small fee. They are also the only living being in WISH.
• An average citizen
We don't really have citizens, but we have various service robots.
• An artifact or enchantment to represent your group (such as a weapon, or a magical artifact/enchantment to indicate your group's ties to magic) and their values
Design at least two cards to represent your group's response to the stirring conflict.
More soon!!!
It's close to a totalitarian state, however the people are loyal to their empire and actually accept the laws, which turned it into a military nation with almost every citizen being part of it
They stand behind their emperor and believe their nation to be the embodiment of justice and order, with Gervais as their savior from chaos. Thus they gladly pick up their arms to fight for their empire.
Devoted to spreading justice across the plane, their policy is either assimilate or eradicate. Only rarely are they seen communicating on friendly terms and only if they see the other nation as just. Often, the emperor will be seen on the front lines to personally see their duty done.
To uphold their peace within the nation, eventual rebel organizations are destroyed with brutal efficiency on behalf of the emperor
(more cards/story will probably be added later)
The de facto lord of Zunesha, Jaeger is never really on Plane long enough to "rule" his people. Never seeing himself above his subjects, he lets them go about their days without impediment. Jaeger is a different type of planes-walker, he never acquired a Spark, just the ability to locate and control planar portals. His ideology is to be known as the greatest bounty hunter in all the 'verses...
A bad-ass, plain and simple. Ludus is revered as the greatest sniper to come from Zunesha. She has little care for the lives of others not from her lands, but will fight fiercely to destroy all who impose onto Zunesha.
The Cavaliers of Zunesha are the protectors of the lands. Never to set foot off the Phantom Island.
hmmMMMM interesting. Do you treat this "library zone" as a second library? As in, you can draw from it, search it as if it was your library, etc.?
@kandra127
I like Bhaman's second ability a lot, and I don't often like things that interact with cards outside the game (which are exiled and sideboard cards), but I think that's interesting in this case. Also, its first ability would couple well with Teferi's Time Twist or a control deck running things like Oblivion Ring and Thopter Arrest to discourage their destruction. As a control player, am liking this.
@sanjaya666
Our first culture to brave the Desolate. I think I already know what the first challenge for them is gon' be.

@spookoops
Fun cards! Does pierce work identically to trample, except you reassign the damage to a target creature as opposed to the defending player/planeswalker? (If that's the case, it might make a tiny bit more sense to have it deal that damage to target creature defending player controls.)
If you can't remove Ludus quickly, then he's gon' be hard to deal with. Without having first strike or double strike on your side, he'll wipe out two creatures each time you block him (assuming pierce works how it appears to).
I understand Ludus is a little OP, but she is meant to be the top sniper in her land. Based off a D&D campaign character I am running. She is easily taken out with any type of direct damage.
The Grove is a group of sentient trees and treefolk who have grown angry with the "fleshlings" (any sentient animal life) because of rampant deforestation of their lands.
The Grove is a hotbed of wild magic, which is how (prior to the fleshling issue) all members of the grove were created. (Ties to magic)
The land The Grove controls is mostly forests, with some swampy areas, which are still heavily forested. Because most of The Grove is unable to move, for many, where you are lucky enough to spawn is where you stay, leaving some in less favorable situations. (Citizen)
Their current leader, The Tanglewood, recently took over from the previous ruler in a violent uprising because it had the gall to attempt DIPLOMACY of all things with the fleshlings. The Tanglewood rules with a wooden fist of isolation and hatred towards all fleshlings. (Leader)
Since rising to power, The Tanglewood has begun conducting experiments surrounding how the members of the grove are created, in hopes to create powerful living weapons to enforce its rule and strike back against its hated opponents. Some have been very successful. (Reaction to conflict, weaponry)
If any treefolk even suggest any other way to react to the fleshlings, they are brutally punished, frequently through burning, delimbing, death, and/or exile, with the latter being only used for very lucky cases. If one is not outright killed, they are put on show for all to see, horribly mutilated, as an example. (Reaction to conflict, shelter[?])
I really like the Grove. Land creatures are a fun time and I like them, so yeah. The idea of not attacking in exchange for some benefit is quite interesting, and I'm excited to see more of it.
Some suggestions:
The Tanglewood, Exiled Sympathizer, Bog Drinker, and any other land creatures you plan to include should probably have either casting costs or something like Transguild Promenade that says "When ~ enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you pay [mana cost]" in order to balance them (matters mostly if you plan to use untap.in when those challenges come along). I personally think they should be cast like creatures so that players can respond to them (playing a land doesn't use the stack), like I did with Elphorycep here. I love land creatures though, and I think the Wizards should do something that involves them as cards rather than just elemental things. Yeet, just some suggestions.
If you wanted more serious text, you could say "Creatures you control may block any number of creatures."
