One of those lands that makes you say "It's a legendary land, but it doesn't come into play tapped and does more than the corresponding basic land. Why not replace it for a basic land?"

i Think one of this cards major selling points(well for me anyway) was that unlike other non-basic lands is that it doesn't come into play tapped so you can play this land first turn and not feel guilty after playing it before your forest

Yup, these are another one of those lands that you don't REALLY need in a deck. Why have one? Well, why not! These are the lands that are better than the average mana, but they don't really do much. for example, flagstones of troikar. Of course, you can have the land fit your strategy and actually be a main component in your deck (Flagstones of troikar doesn't really do crap except against a land destruction deck). I have a 1/1 deck and I run four of these. 5 stars all the way!

There is almost no reason not to have this in your deck if you have at least one 1/1 in it. The only reason not to is if your opponent has some random card like wasteland, then it's best to stick to the basics, but that's an off the wall chance. Uncommon lands are also good agains opponents with forestwalk. Good card, no downfalls, and no reason not to have one in your deck.

an underrated card that is surprisingly effective in alot of games. i've never played with four, but i have one or two of these in three different decks. doesn't hurt me mana wise or get in the way of a better card. you know its working when your opponent gets annoyed but doesn't want to waste a card in getting rid of it. anyway, try it, you might like it!
