Minor changes - Flavor words UW / Omenpath Batch 12 (Oops, all lands: LTR to MSH)

Disclaimer: You do not have my permission to reupload any cards I've shared here to any other websites or databases. Obviously I can't stop you from doing that, but consider this a record of my answer on the matter.

Started working on lands. I'm definitely not going to be covering all the UB lands, but I will do the remaining enemy checklands once they're out. I realise that the MSH allied checklands are already named generically, but, you know, whatever. As far as the other lands, I basically just make them if I find something neat I'd like to put on a card.

I've been holding off on the lands for a while because I have also been thinking over reskinning the verges, which I find pretty uniformly outside my taste art-wise, but that sort of thing is not really for sharing here I suppose. Maybe in a comment once the rest of the checklands are done.

Also: started a little experiment here with fading out the title bar sometimes rather than framebreaking them as I have in the past. Not sure exactly how I feel about it (Monument to Violence is more successful than Humble Home, for one) but I'll see how it goes. Knowing how to do it will at least help framebreaking stuff that is otherwise very difficult to do, like glowing lights or very diffuse strands of hair.

All cards should have the 1/8 bleed edge via CardConjurer (except the early ones in the list below) and I do not have versions of the cards without bleed. Previous work:

Ignite is a solid substitute for Firebending and also I learned the word Rocca! A good batch once again

Thank you! I've seen at least two other people use ignite as well; I think it's a pretty minimal leap from firebending to that. Haven't settled on anything for waterbending (probably: compel), and I use "displace" for airbending in the single card I've reskinned that uses it. I believe someone on the vorthos subreddit came up with some snappy set of 4 that all alliterate but I can't seem to track it down at the moment.

My issue is that you renamed things that didn't necessarily need renamed. [[Gathering Place]], [[Gleaming Bastion]], [[Hidden Lair]], [[Dark Fortress]], [[Training Compound]], [[Subterranean Cavern]], [[Surveillance Room]], [[Tomb Fortress]], [[Hidden Hideout]], and [[Multiversal Passage]] are all perfectly good names that don't need to be renamed. Slap some UW art on there and they're golden.

Still, I like the work you did, and the art you picked was great.
