Hello:This is the first card in a cycle of Legendary Lands I am making. Tell me if it is too powerful or if it could use some tweaking. Thanks!
(The card will be linked in a post on the thread.)

That's for a picture I'm assuming. And open the picture in its own separate tab and use that url

Or you could just write down what you have on the card.

So what you can do is click on the image, select "copy", then go to imgur (it's a website, just search for it), select upload, paste the image, copy the HTML and post it in the comments.

Ok, that will work FAMOUSWATERMELON
Marang River Temple
Legendary Land
Marang River Temple enters the battlefield tapped unless permanents you control contain 
or 
in their mana costs.
(Tap) Add or to your mana pool.
(Tap) Put a 4/4 blue and black dragon spirit with flying onto the battelfield named Soul of Silumgar. It has (Tap) Put target creature card from your graveyard on top of your library.

So, let's see... First off I would make the token legendary, because it makes no sense to have multiple souls of Silumgar. Second off, Silumgar's ability doesn't really go with his character. He doesn't reanimate things, he kills them painfully. Maybe something like drawing or putting a zombie token onto the battlefield.

that looks cool. I would reword the first part
"~ enters tapped unless you control a permanent with or " this way its a little clearer. as is it sounds like all the permanents need to satisfy the condition.
also the ability on the dragon should be black since it is Volrath's Stronghold

And it's not at all weird, it's pretty awesome. Maybe a bit too powerful in a control shell, but whatever.
March 15, 2015 2:27 p.m.
maybe the last ability could be (Tap) Discard a card: Put a 2/2 black Zombie creature token onto the battlefield for each creature card in your graveyard.

I think that that is really, really powerful. MAybe 
sac
And also maybe add enters tapped unless you control permanents with and in their mana costs

I think that token ability is fine on a card that straight up enters tapped and only produces colorless OR the colored mana producing ability of you have at least 1 devotion of blue or black.
But obviously that second bit would be more Theros themed.

I have to agree with awesomeguy37. Continuous dragons is just too good.

Also, I think the wording would be "Unless your devotion to black and blue is at least one."

Legendary Land
Marang River Temple enters the battlefield tapped unless you control a black or blue permanent.
Add or to your mana pool.
, sacrifice Marang River: Put a legendary 4/4 blue and black dragon spirit creature with flying onto the battelfield named Soul of Silumgar.
That wouldn't make it too powerful!

I think the Dragon token should have hexproof. Makes the flavor better and the cost of sacrificing the land more palatable. As is you've designed a cool card that would only see limited play. A 4/4 Dragon with flying is NOT worth 5 mana, even without taking a card slot.
March 15, 2015 3:46 p.m.
I like NorthernRavens idea. I think that makes it both power and not too overpowered.
I will now work on an Ojutai land and post it on this thread soon.
March 15, 2015 3:59 p.m.
I dont get why it doesn't work, so ill just type it out.
Stronghold of Ojutai
Legendary Land
Stronghold of Ojutai enters the battlefield tapped unless you control a blue or white permanent.
(Tap) Add or 
to your mana pool.
(Tap) Sacrifice Stronghold of Ojutai: Put a 4/3 blue and white legendary dragon spirit token named Soul of Ojutai onto the battlefield. It has "Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may draw a card. If you do, discard a card."
What do you think?

I like it, I still think that the silumgar land needs something more than just a vanilla 4/4 dragon creature since this land costs 1 less to activate for a creature with an upside.

Doc28 most likely the problem is that you are not using a direct link to the image (if it's link to a site where that image is, it's not direct).
Not direct vs direct
See the difference? Also, instead of instatly posting to see if it worked, use the preview.
Also, I would really like one of these in selesnya colors for my sisay deck :)
