Sjok brought this up and I've seen a few grumbles about it floating around. We've been getting some cool colourless lands, but as for rarelands, Duels is sorely lacking. I can't help but feel like giving us the checkland cycle from SoI, or fast lands from KLD could diversify mana bases a bit more between archetypes. Just blindly shoving in every rare dual land in a 3 colour deck would be far less effective than naysayers think TBH.

EDIT: My wish is for tricolour lands that enter tapped unless you eat 2 dmg.

I voted yes, but no fetches.

I don't think a new dual land cycle will break any decks, especially at rare. Shock lands would be ideal, but if we had to take tapped lands Scry would be a nice. We've already had some decent fixing recently with Hub, Caravan etc, and aggro/vehicles are still the dominant force, so I don't see that changing much with just one new land cycle. It would be a little boost to consistency for 3 colour decks that would even out the field just a little bit.

TBF we did get Aether hub only one set ago (although it was a bit of a surprise)

I think they're being really careful about mana in general though, remember they said 5 colour good stuff was too powerful and they've been nerfing it ever since e.g ranger, gatecreeper vine, I doubt we'll get too many more rare lands which is sad :(

Lol, can't have good mana, b.c. With rarity restrictions we'd all run 5 color decks.

I'm guessing we get shard lands in the next set, with shard cards (some really good stuff at rare and a cycle of decent roleplaying uncommon shard creatures/spells). I don't care if the lands ETB tapped, I'd probably prefer it since we'd get more of them (common/uncommon rather than rare).

Also, while I'm predicting stuff. There will be creatures with a mechanic similar to leveling up, or at least the theros block equivalent, heroic.

I got destroyed by a prism array deck the other day, they went turn 3 Lili, turn 4 chandra, turn 5 prism array (5 counters) and i knew i was fked haha

Just wanted to get it off my chest that a FIVE colour deck managed to do that against me, hence tilted nighthawk from a couple days ago...
