Terraforming Landscape looks a bit like Frenzied Tilling or Ghost Quarter . I think you could balance Myr Rover by giving it some bump in power but each player gets a land. like a 2/1 or 3/1 but if it does combat damage to a player, everyone gets a land. Something like Runed Servitor almost. Devouring Slime is just too powerful IMO. I like that you made it BBBB like Phyrexian Obliterator . Maybe is exiles creature cards from graveyards to get counters? like a tap effect?

its partially based off of ghost quarter. changing rover to a 2/1 with "whenever Myr Rover deals combat damage to an opponent, each player may put a land from their hand onto the battlefield tapped" seems decent, still good. might consider that...

well, late game it seems redicoulous. but its the same for some other cards. no one wants a Phyrexian Obliterator on the field as a possible threat. alot of times, people aim to remove it first if nothing else is of worry. Devouring Slime can be place in the same catagory, except its destruction effect wont take place very quickly if going by upkeeps(since it goes by counters), but it utilizes black destruction and grows accordingly. but just like obliterator, its designed as a threat but at least you can burn this guy off the field or kill by combat without losing 5+ permanents. xD

@Edacade
Taking an example out of Planar Chaos is... hardly convincing.
I'm going to be just as bad and take an example out of Time Spiral: Moonlace, anyone?

For flavor justification? No, it's not. Everything that was color-shifted was done so for either flavor reasons , because that color can also get that effect, or corrections to past mistakes .

Also, "target land is [basic land type]" type effects exist already, even in GTC (Realmwright).

"target land becomes..." link ; Note that they're all "until end of turn"

Aquitect's Will gets to stand by itself in the search for land type changes (and it uses a counter to counteract memory issues).

Realmwright does not target, and lands are the chosen type in addition to their other types. We're talking about complete subtype overwrite here (because that's what I'm seeing this "destroy target land, its controller searches for a basic land card that doesn't share a land type" as). Everything other than the Will that doesn't have a duration actually does have a duration: the destruction of the permanents overwriting/changing the subtypes. Illusionary Terrain , Contaminated Ground , Convincing Mirage , Lingering Mirage , Phantasmal Terrain , Lush Growth ...and you know, technically the Will has a duration too: "for as long as it has a flood counter on it." Oh, hello Ferropede . What's the news from Medicine Runner ? Did they finally get their Power Conduit fixed?

There are no spells right now that cause a permanent land type overwrite, because that would cause memory issues. The closest they could ever get to doing such a thing without causing memory issues is destroying the land and having its controller put a land that doesn't share a land type onto the battlefield.

I figure the case for Rapid Hybridization is that, between power/toughness, creature type, and effect,
they are changing way too many attributes.

Wasn't a problem for Snakeform . Why's it a problem for Rapid Hybridization? Answer: Because they wanted it to be a permanent change without a fix .
