    A rainbow fetch that can grab any basic land. Basically Evolving Wilds, except you pay 1 life instead of it coming into play tapped.

    Edit: Interestingly enough, this can also fetch Wastes.

    Jesus christ, thats going into bazillion decks. What on earth is its price tag going to be? Literally everyone needs that.

    So after that can we have?

    Dual
    Island - Swamp
    Vanishing 10
    tap: U or B
    We already had the morph Hermit when time spiral came out, and echo is very different than vanishing.

    Like what? It can't fetch duals and you need a sufficient number of basics to make it work.

    Basically, it will go into bicolor decks that want to fetch basics for blood moon effects.
    RW Sun and moon in modern might be interrested and maybe some Eldrazi decks that play two color (Colorless + 1 color) and play one waste only.

    My guess is that it is a good card.

    It's a solid role player for some decks. Not end of the world amazing, and not for every deck. I'll toss it in my EDH decks along with the other two copies of terramorphic expanse.

    I'm calling legendary duals that are unique, not snow duals. I think it makes more sense overall considering EDH and Modern. You can only play one in EDH anyways and Modern would still need Shocks/fetches/other dual lands for stability.

    What do you mean by "unique"?

    Something that differentiates them from original duals, something like this:

    Fancy New Bayou
    Legendary land - forest/swamp
    a deck can only have 1 copy of Fancy New Bayou

    or

    Fancy New Bayou
    Legendary land - forest/swamp
    Fancy new bayou cannot be the first land you play in the game

    Those are both just dumb examples, but they are enough to differentiate from original duals to skirt the RL. Look at the new Deranged Hermit variant; it changes echo for vanishing, which is a lot closer than I ever thought they would get to a RL quasi-reprint. I think with more valuable cards like dual lands they will play it more conservatively (just an opinion mind you, and a wild-ass guess at that.)

    Make it simple:

    Frozen Bayou
    Restricted Land - Forest Swamp
    tap: G or B

    Restricted would have to become a new super-type, and I don't think they would go that far. Maybe.

    I think it would be more likly. Even if Relentless Rats says the opposite.

    They might, but not in a set like this -- They've said there aren't any new mechanics in this set. I'm not inherently opposed to "restricted" as a supertype and functioning as some sort of limiter on deck construction. But, I don't see them doing it.

    Would be cool to have "Restricted: A deck may contain a maximum of four restricted cards." and then a cycle of restricted duals. The problem is, in legacy (or any format with sufficient Fetch utilization) that may as well be a dual reprint, so they wouldn't do it.

    It's a whole lot easier to enforce Relentless Rats than the opposite though.

    Chase lands sell packs.

    This might be a good option in some kind of context that cares about basics (people have already mentioned Wastes), but in an ecosystem where dual lands are available, the existing fetch lands are almost always going to be better. So I think this will be a niche card in legacy.

    How is a restricted supertype any harder to enforce than any other deck construction rule? You look at the deck, and if it violates the rule it's an invalid deck.

    It isn't much different that the entire basis of most Vintage decks, for example. And while I've actually witnessed mistakes happen there of, say, someone "accidentally" (yes, it could have been actual cheating) running two Tinkers. In fact, it seems to me that nearly anyone in Vintage could "cheat" on Restricted cards in theory, but almost no one actually does in practice.

    Not that I will rate the idea of such Duals as probable. I think the mana situation in Modern is regarded as "good enough."

    This will be an EDH staple, it goes in every deck. Mono colored deck will have a 5th fetch land + Evolving Wild + T- Expanse.
    I think this is the only force that will put this card price over the top.
    I do not expect it will be playable in any other format. Why would you if you can put any Ons/Zen fetch.

    Yeah, but we already have a restricted list, so it's not like we can't do it.

    It's not any harder to enforce, but it would just be one more enforcement. Using Relentless Rats as an example of them messing with deck construction in the past is just a false equivalency.
