The best lands in standard, the Zendikar Sac Lands allow for decks which are up to 10x stronger than decks without them. Landfall, untapped mana fixing, enemy colors in one land. The best decks are decks that are fine tuned so that they are aggressive, deep, and most importantly consistent. I love these lands and only wish that they were not so expensive.

Who care about tapped or untapped. Its rather obvious that a land coming into play untapped is is very significant. However, the reason this card is so superiour is becuase you can fetch for Tropical Island and/or Breeding Pool, try fetching for those with the awsome Terramorphic Expanse/Evolving Wilds.

If you still arent convinced. There is a reason that Tropical Island is better then Breeding Pool. Why Polluted Delta is better then Bad River.

Terramorphic expanse is good if you play budget (and therefore not competitively). Landfall triggering 2 times in 1 turn and getting a mana out of it is definitely worth the 1 life, and in some cases can be gamebreaking in a tournament.
Sorry Jim, but unless you're too cheap to invest in a playset of this (or any other fetch land) there's no excuse as to why this is bad.

To Jim, the ability to fetch a land and have it come into play untapped is EVERYTHING. Yes terramorphic fetchs 3 other lands, thins your deck and has a cheaper price tag but the lands fetched all come into play TAPPED! Yes of course NEXT turn it doesn't matter but the fact is that THIS turn it matters. If you didn't do anything on your turn b/c a land was tapped, I can go as far as to say that you just gave your opponent a free turn because you simply passed the turn back with the same amount of untapped mana. For example a scenario where you need to fetch a plains to wrath the board; uhhh, if you drew terramorphic well that's game you're done: on the other hand if you drew a arid mesa or marsh flats, hey! guess what you're still in the game. Get the point?

Oh my god, Jim is still writing reviews. Terramorphic expanse is terrible in comparison. The IS no comparison.

This is a fetch land. Five stars and nothing more to talk about.

as i see it if you run lets say 8 fetch lands you are basically deck thinning, that is what makes this card so good. you can run 8 fetch lands, and then thin the deck, getting cards that you need. ALSO this is good for a Landfall deck because you will pop off 2 Landfall abilities in the same turn (3 if your playing Oracle of Mul Daya) so this card (and all the other fetch lands) are awesome they are worth the money

Asside from simply not coming into play tapped, the rare fetchlands from Zendikar and Onslaught are able to net you Dual Lands and Shock Lands and any other land that has the type named. There are swamps, forests etc that are not basic lands. Hell, is there not a 1/1 creature that is a forest? Whereas Tera Expanse can get you 1 of 5 cards, this can get you and of the Duals that are part forest or island(thats 7) and of the shocks that are the same (another 7) and I'm sure a few other cards that are forests but not basic land. Yes, the ZEN and ON fetches are with that little one life nick and the "restriction" (lol) of only 2 land types. And trollandtoad has some of the best prices for buying cards straight up that I have seen.

This card is so good. Yeah, and I would love to see Jim from Madison review Polluted Delta or Flooded Strand. The guy is a comic genius.

Blue/Green decks found the land they were missing. The mana in those decks sometimes can be difficult. Yeah, you can use Blue/x fetchs or Green/x fetchs, but you will find sometimes in the situation were you will have 1 blue mana source and 2 whites. With these you can worry less about color screw or having to mulligan due to it. And to Jim, terramorphic expanse isn't played in Naya/Jund/Boros/GW and whatever decks are tier 1,2. It's just to slooooow. Post here when you lose a game because you couldn't find your 2nd or 3rd land untapped.

Um random guy above me you are missing the one key part that makes this card a rare, 15 dollars, and 1000 times better than terramorphic expanse.... THE LAND COMES INTO PLAY UNTAPPED

Split a box of Zendikar with two other friends. An amazing card. Simply amazing.

I do like the Zendikar fetch lands because they bring an untapped land into play. However they are not the end all fetch card. Pay 1 life and 2 color limits, not saying that ruins the card in anyway but it has some limits (which it should). Terramorphic is still a good card though not to be under estimated. It still can fetch 5 colors which is nice. As far as competitive value while the Zendikar lands replace themselves and don't set you back one mana on that turn that does not rule out terramorphic/evolving all together, they are still a viable choice. If these lands were at a price point that matched their power, say $5 or so, I would be more inclined to use them in every deck I build. Just because something is on the cheap or budget though does not mean it isn't competitive. I have myself have taken $30 decks and seen others with the same take out $100+ decks over and over without running a counter scheme. My last point will be after these cards leave type 1 will anyone care about them anymore past the EDH or extended player who won't run 4 copies anyway?

So... to those who only see this as a mana fixer, you're missing another major selling point with landfall abilities. If you drop one of these, sac it, and then drop a land because of the ability, you just double triggered any landfall abilities in your field. Even more fun - you can tap it for its ability during your opponents turn as they declare their attackers, drop a land, and trigger your landfall ability in a defensive stance. It's pretty powerful.

Too random person above if your playing green and you dont got the land you need 2 things might be wrong ..... you sir dont know what your doing or b god must hate you. <3 green it is the awnser for mana and they gave us howl too use with it lol

You must not play very competitively. I've had hundreds of games come down to something as simple as being short one mana. Terramorphic Expanse is a great card. This, however, is better.

My apologies to the guy from IN. I really didn't consider the possibility that someone out there might need it explained to them that the difference between a land coming into play tapped or untapped is a fairly marginal one, and will almost certainly never make the difference between winning or losing a game. A good card is one that will be useful any time you draw it, and/or all by itself. These new sac lands don't fall into either of those categories.

So, they renamed Terramorphic Expanse, made it cost life, made it so you have only 2 land type choices, then made it a rare that costs about more?
