my inspirations were explore and mwonvuldi acid-moss
i mostly had playing it in a ponza deck where u would be using it on opponents land in mind but it might be workable in a landfall deck too

Library of Alexandria shenanigans ensue.

I dig the card, I feel like the picture/art could be better.

thanks and yeah youre probably right

Bouncing a land doesn't really seem RG. I think destroying a land and having them search their library for a basic (or something like that) would feel more on color.

I think it's too cheap by modern sensibilities. The OG Pillage is 2R and that's typically been considered too cheap. Adding a green gives it a little power but then you get the extra land drop. 4 mana feels a little too expensive though? Unclear.

I think it's cool. I don't have a problem with the concept or price.

Probably this.
Stone Rain is "too good" now for some reason, and this is +1 CA unless you do it to yourself for shenanigans.

Undercosted at 3, unplayable at 4.

You might want to take it back to the drawing board and add an extra effect for an extra mana.

Change the color, or add a third.
For example:

Rebirth After The Flames 1URG
Sorcery
Return target land to its owner's hand. If it was nonbasic, ~ does 2 damage to them.

You may put a land card from your hand onto the battlefield tapped. If that land was basic, draw a card.

thanks everyone

Needs to be an instant

Land removal isn't usually instant.
Strip Mine needs a reprint sooooo bad. Wasteland would even be close enough.

Instant adds nothing to his card. Playing an additional land this turn doesn't let you play land on opponent's turns, bouncing a land at instant speed doesn't change that the opponent can tap it anyway.

It would need to be reworded to be instant and not get anything significant.

wizards doesnt print instant speed land removal because new players will think that ur allowed to use it to stop them from tapping the land for mana
and also "u may play an additional land this turn" doesnt work on the opponents turn

This and also this.

Seems off-color for RG, imo. RG would destroy a land, UG might bounce it like that. Hell, WG could do something like this, maybe? There's no precedent for it but it feels kind of like W's catch-up mechanics to me.

You can't just do LD for 3 anymore, even in RG. "Bounce" is accidental here.

i see ur point. i think aldous was really on to something with the idea to add blue to it and make it temur

RUG instant with "(if it's your turn)" would be some good.
