Daily Card Redesign #181: Gleam of Resistance

Daily Card Redesign is a daily Magic: The Gathering design exercise where I randomly choose a card for the scenario of it being scrapped late during its own set's development. I design a replacement card that uses the same art, is the same color(s), is the same rarity, and has a name that, alphabetically, keeps it within the same collector number for the set.

ORIGINAL:



REDESIGN:


Staple basic landcycling onto any white common instant/sorcery effect? Easy, there's only been one white effect that's been taken (the original design of mass pumping of creatures). According to the art, with multiple creatures depicted, it had to impact more than one creature. It also didn't look violent - it looked like a boon. So, it had to help your own creatures. 

There's not much else besides a Safe Passage effect! Well, it exchanges the benefit originally found on Safe Passage of preventing damage to yourself with basic landcycling! Boom. Done.
