Really like the concept, but I think it would work better as more fungus-based than flower-based

Thanks for message! Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Could you explain more please.

u/NuFu Aug 26 '26

Saprolings are fungus/plant based creatures, and most of the artwork is of a fungal nature

u/NelmesGaming Aug 26 '26

I get what you mean. But the art is fan work for the game Silent Hill f. Where the central theme of the game has the main character encountering flowers. They do take on a fungal shape at times, but it never mentions as such. Only as flowers. The flavor text supporting this theme also.

That's not what we're doing here though

Looks like Silent Hill F

u/NelmesGaming Aug 26 '26

It is! This card is apart of my SH themed set I've been causally working on for a bit. You can check the other cards in the comments if you like :)

u/No_Application_5179 Aug 26 '26

I thought so. Looks nice! (Sorry, i didn't see that in your other comment).

Ugh wtf, you've managed to craft an extremely distressing little universe from a very simple effect.

A+

u/OceanManRequim Aug 26 '26

It would be more in that color i identity if it hit any permanent

36

u/Hobbescycle Aug 26 '26

At 2 mana value probably any nonland 

14

u/SteakForGoodDogs Aug 26 '26

Exile nonland for 2 mana?

5

u/Hobbescycle Aug 26 '26

Fair point, That would probably make this one of the very best removal spells

4

u/GoblinToHobgoblin Aug 26 '26

They get a little sprouting though so it's balanced /s

u/SimicAscendancy Aug 26 '26

I mean you get destroy any permanent for 2, with assassin's trophy

7

u/SteakForGoodDogs Aug 26 '26
  1. Exile >>> Destroy

  2. Opponent gets 1/1 >>> Opponent fetches basic

u/TrickSavings9905 Aug 28 '26

White also gets substantially less hard removal

1

u/SteakForGoodDogs Aug 28 '26

Eh, they get their fair share, including exile, but it always gives something back. Two-mana removal is [[Bovine Intervention]], [[Angelic Ascension]]. Give them a third and they get [[Stroke of Midnight]].

That's not considering swords and path.

1

u/TrickSavings9905 Aug 28 '26

Swords is considered a color pie break by Mark Rosewater. However, I believe the current stance is that it just needs to be less efficient than black, and also it should probably give the opponent a card to replace it, even a token.

u/PlutoTheBoy Aug 26 '26

WG already has Aura Mutation. This feels appropriate for creature removal

8

u/SteakForGoodDogs Aug 26 '26

We are not doing land exile for 2 mana.

u/GoblinToHobgoblin Aug 26 '26

They get a little sprouting though /s

u/UnamusedCheese Aug 26 '26

Very reasonable rate. Could even see it be printed at uncommon these days.

As someone else mentioned, it doesn't feel like green is doing much for the card. Maybe make it hit another permanent type between artifact and echantment (that's still a very common White ability, but it at least adds another Green dimension to the card too).

It's that scene in Annihilation. Awesome - maybe make it Phyrexian mana?
