Sick Art And Cool Flavor Text/ Best Colors Ever To

This and its fellows in other colors are great and relatively penalty-free methods of expanding your mana base. It's not a great first drop unless you've got some artifact mana to go with it, but once you get two or three of these in play they combo with each other to explode for more mana than you otherwise would for the lands you have.

Great for my black and blue control/draw pain deck. I found myself saying to many times that I wish I had more of the other color at certain points in the game (black and blue being some of the more picky about dual color spells). The major drawback here is you need one other mana to play it for non-colorless, unlike Drowned Catacomb 's. However, if you are packing lots of essence scatters and and counter squalls, then that is all you need. A+ must have for control decks.

This land is especially good in extended because Cryptic Command has the format by the balls

Filter lands are sick. And the fact, that this is UB filter, makes this one even more sick than others. UB is my favourite control color combination.

honestly i love this card i have a black blue graveyard deck so i think this is so goo because you can convert your mana if your unlucky and dont get the right one put two not four because you need some others.

These lands are very interesting, and depending on your deck,
potentially the best dual lands since... real dual lands. Even in Vintage.
In some situations, they can even be better than original DLs.

These aren't good to play on round one,
but they can essentially turn a basic land into a dual land,
Giving you two dual lands for the price of one and a basic.
They also let you use more basic lands to keep you safe from Wasteland and such.

It just depends.
The blue ones are great for anyone who wants to throw some Counterspells/Twincasts/Redirects into an otherwise non-blue deck.

Despite having a full collection of original dual lands, I still use these in some decks.
I still like the M10/Innistrad lands (see: Drowned Catacomb) 2nd best- they work *great* with original DLs.
But as one who doesn't play Modern, Standard or Extended, I prefer these to the Ravnica Shock Lands.

PS- the word "sick" has been used on this page far too many times.

The art doesn't look watery to me at all... I find it strange.

Extremely flexible and therefore very useful. But, a tricky card to use in single player. It is tricky card to see in the let's say first 10 cards. Useless as your starting land since it's colorless, but even tricky as your second land. It makes your first land a perfect target for a Wasteland. What single player deck doesn't contain them nowadays?

This is my favorite dual land (under $1000) because it colorfixes two instead of one; if you've got this and a swamp you can still produce BlueBlue.

Watery Grave is amazing but it's still strictly worse than Underground Sea. This actually has an advantage over the king.

Er... a non-useless advantage.

Two dual lands for the price of one! And it even produces colorless mana on it's own! 2 color decks love this cycle. Who doesn't want to play Cryptic Command and Phyrexian Obliterator in the same deck?! I mean, with this card why the hell not, right?! :D
