Description

WIP. Still in testing.

Skeleton:
6 of each common
3 of each uncommon
2 of each rare
1 of each mythic rare

Replacements:
Erdwal Ripper <= Feral Ridgewolf
Undying Evil <= Gruesome Deformity

Inclusions:
3 Coastal Tower
3 Elfhame Palace
3 Salt Marsh
3 Shivan Oasis
3 Urborg Volcano
3 Caves of Koilos
3 Shivan Reef
3 Llanowar Wastes
3 Battlefield Forge
3 Yavimaya Coast

Omissions:
-2 Stony Silence
-2 Creepy Doll

Design philosophy & card selection:
I. Retain the flavor, archetypes, and pacing of tempo of INN.

II. Remove cards without good targets in limited (Stony Silence) or feature poor mechanics such as coin-flipping (Creepy Doll).

III. Remove rare land cycle and bad mana fixing options. Added cycle of enemy painlands and allied taplands to replace missing mana fixing effects.

IV. Erdwal Ripper <= Feral Ridgewolf
Feral Ridgewolf almost never impacts the board and is far too expensive to slot in. Replaced with Erdwal Ripper from DKA for converted mana cost. Significant upgrade while still being red mana intensive.

V. Undying Evil <= Gruesome Deformity
Gruesome Deformity is terrible value for an enchantment and competes with Cobbled Wings already in set. Replaced by Undying Evil at the same mana cost to give black a combat trick and further support the Morbid mechanic.

Pack distribution:
1 painland, tapland, or INN spell-land
10 commons
3 uncommons
1 rare or mythic rare
