  One minute late :P
  
  After being guided home by @kauyon and @Commander_Paratus, the defenders of Earthrealm now have permanent residences, and won't have to rely as much on nomadic living. However, the forces of nature have lost their land to unnatural forces, and need their land rejuvenated! Nature uses all colors, but is dominantly green. To say the most, the forces of nature have no bounds, but all work to protect nature and maintain its normal cycle.
  
  Challenge 6/7, come back Friday between 8pm - 12 EST for the last challenge!

  The inhabitants of Earthrealm have found settlement in one a vast jungle, where nature acts as an equalizer between all races and colors of mana.

  Sorry for the late submission, I didn't have time to make a card yesterday. Hope this still counts, I really liked the alternate tapland concept.

  I am not sure if this means I have heart, or if it is definitive proof that I am heartless.
  
  Either way, turn your looking grapes this direction and feast them upon my mental excretion!

  Thanks to @TheCopyrightContinuum and @kauyon, nature now flourishes again. But it's time for the final race to come for its demands. The Eldrazi are looking for sources of mana across Earthrealm, which is flourishing in mana! What kind of land do you think they'll be after? Make it!
  
  Challenge 7/7, on Saturday 10 PM - 2 AM EST, I will put up the Wall of Heroes for this set.

  Uh oh! There is 12 hours left (give or take) and the Eldrazi have started to consume the land! Appease them before its too late!

  Here is my GRIXIS answer to the Eldrazi, as it fits with the colors of the new set!

  That should satisfy the Eldrazi.

  I was looking at Eye of Ugin for inspiration for this challenge, when I realized for the first time that the flavor text is a reference to Lightning Crashes by Live. It is even more poetic of a reference considering that the angels on Zendikar pulled their halos over their eyes in shame from their inability to stop the Eldrazi.

  @Corwinnn @Kauyon when did the bear thing start? I have been seeing that around a lot, but still don't know where that started because every time I see it I chuckle.

  It was this card that started it all.

  For those of you can't use mobile links, search for Grizzly Bears on mtgcardmith.com, the artwork on the card is from the actual MtG card Grizzly Bears.

  Thanks to @CrucibleOfHate and @Commander_Paratus, the Eldrazi's hunger is now satisfied, and Earth is left to live another day. For now.

  Wall of Fame: The following fantastic cardsmiths have made Earthrealm a better place.
  
  @TheCopyrightContinuum, @ImBadAtBalancing, @AlphaOmega, @RedRageMage, @Gelectrode, @gterww123, @Kinojitsu_Asahi, @GodOfWar, @kauyon, @Commander_Paratus, and @CrucibleOfHate@
  
  
  This time I'm judging for the best land rather than the "best card per challenge." Let's see who "won!"
  
  You guys did not make this easy for me. And I'm not even sure this the best, but here goes nothing! The award for best land goes to Earthrealm Nexus by @kauyon!
  
  Earthrealm Nexus is the perfect land for any deck, if you have life and two mana to spare. It can easily allow you to build up extra mana if you can't get any lands down, plus the mana stash can't be harmed, since it uses emblems. Solid land for any deck!
  
  Thanks for joining me for this set of daily challenges. Get ready for the next set!:
