DFC (Flip Card) Lands!

Bobtacos · March 2016

Hey, all!

With Shadows Over Innistrad on the horizon (Releases the Saturday before my Birthday!), FlipCards are becoming known again. If you are not familiar with a DFC, the closest thing we've had recently was the Planeswalkers from Origins. Except, in Innistrad, DFCs are usually creature to creature. I won't mention any DFCs we might be getting in Shadows, for fear of spoiling it for those who want to remain clean

.

So, on to the Challenge!

I challenge the Cardsmith community to create a Flip Land.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rules:

-Must be a land-to-land transformation. (No Billy transforms into the Countryside or vice versa)
-Must be serious. (I enjoy unglued, but it has its place, and this is not that place.)
-Art should belong on an MTG card. (I understand that this is difficult (As the card has two sides), but at least try.)
-One entry maximum. (This makes it easier for me to judge.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus points!

-Viable as at least a budget option in Modern
-Use the names of provinces from Innistrad
-Surprise me! Not all lands tap for mana, just like not all lands make tokens. Get creative with flip conditions and the land's function.
-Formatting DOES count
-Flavor! Bland stuff is baddd
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rewards:

Top 3 get a =Trophy= if that's possible

1st place: 1 favorite of my choice, two favorites of your choice, and a follow.
2nd place: 1 favorite of my choice, two favorites of your choice.
3rd place: 1 favorite of my choice

All participants' entries will be favorited.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good luck!

ENTRIES WILL BE JUDGED ON THE 8TH OF APRIL.

Before I edit it, is the 31st too soon?

Maybe make the judging on April 8, when the set releases. I will enter soon, seems like a cool challenge!

@michaelmvm Great idea, Michael

@Corwinnn Alright, thanks!

(Easter Egg: There are 5 crosses wich means 5 creatures are dead, I know they arent the only ones dead, but that card would be really bad if I did that.) Also first entry better make a...

I like it, @sonicfan5150! Thanks for entering!

(You can either tap it for green or blue, or use it's ability to add both)
They can be fetched for, and tap for their basic land type.

I have gone deep into my pantry to create a DFC dripping with flavor. I give you Ulvenwald:

Back: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/ulvenwald-shrouded-in-mist?list=user

(The second is subtyped to forest so the formatting worked, I noticed it was a suggestion for points)

I know that Deny is worded strange. Please tell me if you can think of a more elegant way to word it.

Edit: Does the flipped side have to be able to transform back?

Edit again: Remade valley of peace to make it a bit less op. The new link is now replacing the old one.

(Hopefully the final) Edit: The same is for VoD

ZendikarIncarnate · March 2016

I just realized that Valley of peace is like peaceful valley/flooded valley. I promise I saw that after i made the cards.

BradXmagic · March 2016

Oh, no problem. I like yours, but I think it might be too good, for the dual land and not even entering tapped.

Creeper333_ · March 2016

Side One.
Side Two.

Bobtacos · March 2016

@BradXmagic Sweet card(s)!

@ZendikarIncarnate I like the idea, seems to flow really nicely. No, it does not have to be able to transform back. Maybe, "They can't be target by spells or abilities you control"? From my limited knowledge, when a card says "You", it means its controller.

@Creeper333_ Nice card, feels really interesting.

BradXmagic · March 2016

I fixed my card, please check it again, because it would infinitely flip.

Bobtacos · March 2016

@BradXmagic How would it have infinitely flipped?

BradXmagic · March 2016

You flipped it if you control 2 or more islands, then when you flip it back, it would flip again unless you still don't control 2 or more islands.

I am not sure if the Bustling City works the way I want it to. Any advice?

Bobtacos · March 2016

@BradXmagic Ah, I see

@Gelectrode I do believe it works the way you want it to. The 5 creatures enter in one turn, it flips. Then Bustling City doubles when you hit 10 creatures, and then all copies of Bustling City turn back into Village. (Although, I'd watch out. This can go infinite mana with any infinite creature combo)

EDIT: I stand corrected. Cleverly worded on the front.

Save the planet! Go Green! Uses some flavour from "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss.

Made these based on the seldom-referenced Devil's Breach location in Kessig.
