Ancient cultures sounds awesome!  Maybe they could work kinda like the urza's lands.
Like if you control more then one, they have more abilitys.
possibly. Maybe everyone should submit an idea, we could vote on two. Play test both, and keep the one we like

Mine, each has an extra cost, depending on the color combo. Like the only one I have complete

Pyramid to the beyond

Land: swamp, plains

{T}: add {W} or {B} to your mana pool

{T}, sacrifice a creature: add both {W} and {B} to your mana pool

Edit: or maybe exile a creature in your graveyard. I don't know
Exile DEFINENTLY, it fits the idea of pyramids, as tombs better.

Should we nerf it a bit.  It's got alpha duel land style, except extra.  Should it come in tapped?

Birdbrain

No. I was thinking it could come into play tapped unless you pay some kind of price. But it has to be the same with all the...ruins lands I'm going to call them

Edit: and not life either

Edit: self mill seems out as It would boost the pyramid

Almosteric

I like it!  How about this one.

Towers of Babel
Ancient land, ruin
{T} to add {R} or {U} to your mana pool

{T},Discard a card from your hand, add both {R} and {U} to your mana pool

Birdbrain

My version of the blue green one was called marsh temple. Good job though, although I'm not sure discarding a card feels {G} {U}. Maybe {R} {U}

The mountain plains one i have is called star gate. The mountain forest one I have is called hill top ruins (inspired by machu pichu) black green is jungle stone hinge, and green white is jungle wood hinge

That's all I have so far :/

What if they came into play tapped unls you exiled the top 2 cards of your library?

Evenpoint Drift
Ancient land
{T} to add {R} or {U} to your mama pool

{T},Discard a card from your hand, add both {R}{U} to your mana pool

When the world started to drift into the sea,  lands we knew became wild again.
guess the name could work for now. Though I wanted to name it after some existing ruin. Which one fits those colors? We should let people vote on the name if I come up with something

Then again, I don't know of any marsh temples :/

Almosteric

For sure dude, I'm open to all ideas comments criticism and suggestions!  The only way this works is if we all work together!

Birdbrain

Ok. Well, for some reason when I think of {u}{R} and ancient cultures, the Maya pop into my head for some reason. So maybe something inspired by the Mayan ziggurats?

Almosteric

I can get behind that!  Check this out. "The ziggurat at Babylon was named Etemenanki. This meant "Foundation of heaven and Earth" in Sumerian."

i wonder if that's the birthplace of all languages mentioned in the bible...well anyway. Can it be inspired from the Mayan ziggurats?

Birdbrain

Never mind. The one in Babylon seems to fit it more if it might be the Tower of Babel

Didnt mean directly use the name, but ok.

You don't have to change it, just saying I would have said stairway to omniscience

Edit: and what's a mama pool :P

Edit: actualy, I think I'll call the white green one temple ruins. Inspired by the western wall

You could tap two untapped creatures as its cost for both

Edit: and considering the kind of entertainment it provided, I think the red black one should be inspired by the coluseum

Strangely, Ancient Rome has a more boros feel to it

Haha. I'm not worried, your been working on this thread for a log time, I just jumped in but I would love to keep helping.  ideas are often made with the help of others, great things are done with many. Think Henery Ford had help when he revolutionized the auto Industry?  Haha.
