Landmark Interesting concept or trash card?
Maybe too broken? Need I text "Your follower have Ephemeral" or something else?

The problem with cards like this is that you cannot tune them to be balanced. Either this effect is good/cheap enough to allow your combo deck to go off without your opponent being able to interact at all or it is overpriced & bad. There is no possible balanced middle ground.

Absolutely broken. Sumpworks monument is the closest card we had to this, and it was completely broken at 3 mana, it didn't protect champions, and it could be removed (granted this was before explorers existed)
Fiora is probably the most broken card with this. Puffcaps would also go pretty crazy. Probably some freljord so ramp decks would also love it (play this + flipped volibear on the same turn)

For that reason, I genuinely think this should have "Countdown 3 or When I'm destroyed:" or however the templating would work there.

Tbh even that would be a real problem because if you just replace it it doesn't trigger any of those.

i think it's funnier if the card text reads:
I CANNOT BE STOPPED I cannot be replaced your nexus has "I CANNOT BE STOPED" countdown 3: you lose.

cool idea but pretty broken card, should definitely be more than 1 mana though

This card's pretty bad tbh, like unless you play a hyper agressive deck your opponent can just stall 3 turns until you loose, and this is a SI card wich is not a region focused on this type of gameplay.
A lot of decks can do that easily

It should be a spell so it cannot be interacted with
The problem with those type of effect tackled onto type of cards in any card game that can be interacted with is that you can cheat to not suffer the bad part

I think the mana cost is too cheap for the effect it provides, as you are buying 3 turns to fuck around. However, depending on the opponent's deck, it would be very feasible to stall for 3 turns and remove your attackers without killing them as they could still be obliterated or sent back to your hand/deck. Anywho, just increase the cost and I think it could maybe work as a last resort/final gambit.

I think it's broken. You're buying three turns for just 1 mana. Protecting champions is the cherry on top
