I'm looking for opinions on a land card I've made based on paying a blood price for extra mana on the first turn the land enters play. I'm thinking of making it so you pay 3 life instead of 4 to balance it more but I would like an opinion first.

So it's like a Bloodcrypt on crack? Like it.
Put flavor text into [ ] to make it flavorlike.
How about making this a keyworded ability?
You could make it versatile for use on more than lands by changing the text into "Until your next turn, whenever this [cardtype] uses an activated ability (including mana-abilities) copy it. You may choose new targets for the copy."
Btw, did you create the artwork?

Thanks those are some great suggestions and I only wish I could make artwork like that.

Then remember to replace the name-field at the bottom of the card with the artist's name or leave it empty; It's the spot for artist identification, not the mechanic designer, so although your intention of marking the card as your material is obvious, some may misunderstand it as an attempt to steal the creative credit.

I Would fit a sacrifice ability on here if there was more room. I'll probably update it later to fit that but I did change Its ability to a keyword. So here is the slightly updated version. I forgot to change the artist so I will change that as well thanks for the tip.

You should add "Soot Ground enters the battlefield tapped" before the offering-text instead.
Also I would recommend writing "[...] if you do, untap Soot Ground. Until end of turn, whenever you use an activated- or mana-ability of this card, copy it." instead of explicitly referring to mana;
If you keyword an ability, it is to give the player more of a connection to reoccurring abilities, to establish consistently present themes of a set (aka: FLAVOR).
To put it simply: If "Offering X" allows you to copy abilities used by a permanent, ANY kind of permanent, it can also be used to double the mana produced by "Soot Ground",
while the version you use at the moment is ONLY written for "Soot Ground", thus seeming less viable as a whole.
It is a great asset if you succeed in making easy to comprehend, elegant mechanics; It's like programming computer code, where you can use a simple function of three lines for nearly ANYTHING,
just by leaving some variables open to change.
Here are some things you can do, if you generalize your formula:
- A hellhound creature, that deals 2 Damage to target creature/player; Using Offering, it is able to deal double the amount in its first turn.
- A vampire with haste and "{r}{1}: +1/+1 counter on [name]. Use this ability only, if [name] dealt damage to a creature or player this turn"; Adding Offering to a creature like this would lead to some nice comboplay, by basically doubling the +1/+1-counter boost.
I could give more examples, but I think you alraedy know, what I mean.
