It would see casual/kitchen table play. No one would bring Ravnica land to a tournament.

Highland on the otherhand might possibly see competitive play (not likely but possible), but since it requires your whole deck to be build around it, and it forces you to forego consistency, thats a more than fair trade off.
It's not a real trade-off though. Who seriously makes good turn 1 or 2 turn one plays in casual? I windmill slam this down on t1, and then I could be playing wastes for the rest of the game and still have a pretty good mana base. And "comes into play tapped" isn't even a non-starter in competitive. Vesuva and cloud post come to mind as the biggest examples. If you're on the play the card basically says "An opponent draws a card. For the rest of the game, lands you control tap for any color" That's good enough for a few competitive formats.
Wastes is a basic land. This land would be akin to Wastes
Wastes have no land type. There are six different basic lands. There are five basic land types.
