Sure but it also sounds omega-boring to draft.

Shelldock Isle Zanarkand, Ancient Metropolis Talon Gates of Madara Fear of Isolation Kor Skyfisher Sutina, Speaker of the Tajuru Wonderscape Sage Black is kind of iffy. You could embrace stax, but that is probably worse in a cube where everyone likes lands. Maybe just give them more nonbasic...

Overrun

My assumption was that Groundlings are more of a unique creature along the lines of Noggles, Selkies, Duergar, Gwyllion and such without an explicit Lorwyn counterpart. Faeries are unique in that they were the only creatures to retain their memories after the great aurora (plus like Maralen...

And Sygg matches the light and dark theme better in blue? I don't really know what this is supposed to be in response to. That is kind of a fair reason, although I still don't really understand how these people have knowledge of the other setting to begin with. I imagine the border is more of a...

Well, probably, but I don't think they're ever in close enough proximity to each other for it to really come up.

I like the idea of making lorwyn and shadowmoor sectioned areas instead of just the obvious day/night cycle, it feels inspired and kind of works with the "suddenly you're in fairy land" trope that's in line with the setting, and the evoke elementals are mechanically cool, but there's a lot of...

I read a wiki page, but that seems beside the point.

aren't the infinity stones just marvel flavored generic random bullshit, a set of mysterious obelisks requiring obscure rituals to activate feels about as resonant it not more so to me than a collection of magic stones

Half card draw, half reanimate, half foretell, half remand. I really like airbend, it had a lot of cool applications. Unfortunately it's stuck with an unprintable name.

Walking Ballista was, for what it's worth, an eminently playable card while in Standard without requiring much in the way of support, so you probably don't need to depower your list all that much.

I think Sigarda's Vanguard is kind of neat.
