@thenightbringer, even if that is true, in a comp where "no editing" is a rule, a message to me just clarifying if that is ok is probably needed otherwise situation such as this will occur.
Worried it's to like Westvale Abbey...

With this last one, I really must apologize for how crammed everything is, I hope you can overlook that minor flaw.

First submission. Crystadel (Crystal Citadel) is a large crystal fortress that marks the edge of the western border in the plane of Verdonia, in which past that point the landscape morphs and changes, making voyage through there impossible - none can pass, thus it is known that Crystadel is the edge of the western world in Verdonia, a land full of sorcery and faith.
If you want advice, I would at least say that Crystadel should have the final ability be {t}, Discard a Card: Add {u} to your mana pool.

You say that @TastyCheez 's card is OP when Urza'a Workshop seems downright disgusting. I mean, consider that card in Modern, Legacy, or Commander where energy decks are barely (if at all) competitive. It basically becomes T: Add CC to your mana pool in that case.
Coldhaven Blackmarket is basically a 'T: Add one mana of any color to your mans pool.' land but better because you can essentially stockpile the mana without it emptying from your mana pool.
I'm not trying to sound mean; I'm just being critical of your designs since you called someone else's card OP when yours are far more OP by comparison. I would like to mention Kamigawa's Heart is very cool flavor wise and seems balanced to me since the effect only lasts one turn and its own mana ability only adds colorless mana. So good job there!
In every single format, even if you're facing off against an energy deck, the workshop is disgustingly broken. ^ ^ The amount of speed you gain from getting two colorless mana turn one is insane. Look at Ancient Tomb: this card is broken in so many ways and in many decks - affinity and most vintage ones - I would rather be giving my opponent (E) than losing (2) and throwing all my steam away., I'm afraid. x)
Not to mention you should use the new colorless mana symbol (
✧
) rathet than the old one. ^ ^As for the others, Kamigawa's Heart seems pretty broken, or at least very, very powerful. Also I believe 'When Kamigawa's Heart enters the battlefield, lands you control gain '(T): Add one mana of any color to your mana pool' until end of turn'. Also, I think perhaps '...Have every basic land type until end of turn' may be a bit more useful, cooler and more flavorful?
Coldhaven Black Market may be a bit too OP, and maybe not very land-ish, since it doesn't have any abilities that actually produce mana.
Yes, I know I just told @TastyCheez his card was OP and I know the workshop was OP. But I only noticed it was OP after I posted it here. I'm a good person, and I don't cheat, so I didn't change my card.
Are you suggesting @KimJongMartin and I are bad people and that we cheat? If you look at my submissions comment, you can see I have done nothing to change it. This challenge is really tough, as there are only 42 Legendary Lands in MTG's history to reference for designs and power level, so it is only natural that there are some overpowered designs, in reviewing other submissions that others put in, I am noticing some cards that are likely unintentionally OP.

@Butters I forgot to make mine legendary, can I fix it? (You said you decide on such things.)
