And especially the artwork of this one is astonishing.

I really LOVE this card. Even more than the other M10 Dual Lands. This artwork is one of the best card artworks Wizards has ever printed. You can really feel the coldness ehile holding this card, even through a deck protector. I would really like to have the artwork hanging as a painting on a wall in my room. Really. =)
It's also - in my opinion - the most powerful dual land ever printed, because there is the possibility (the very high one) that this land comes into play untapped, as lonag as you don't mix a lot of nonbasic lands together. Just a fex of this one, maybe a few coastal towers and you won't have any mana-color-problems in a WU-Deck.

Beautiful artwork, I really like it. But the mechanic - not so much. I prefer the painlands, they can give you one-drops.

Fantastic art. Love it. But I'm dissapointed that the mechanics of the card don't involve anything to do with combat. Its a fortress right? Not enough Vorthos consideration here. Why not let it activate as a wall, or, lend +0/+1 to a creature? Any 'fortressy' thing would do.

These are so very good. I wish these, the Lorwyn duel lands and the shock lands weren't so expensive. They need to make these uncommon or something. They're great but they're not flashy.

As much as I like the artwork and appreciate the land fix, these are just not rare-worthy cards and I absolutely hate getting one of these from a booster for my "rare" card. Uncommon at best. And for that 3/5 for a otherwise great card.

@SleetFox You think these should be uncommon? You know nothing, SleetFox.

@Nuclearboy91: "It's also - in my opinion - the most powerful dual land ever printed, because there is the possibility (the very high one) that this land comes into play untapped..."
Really dude? Even more powerful than an actual dual land? One that doesn't come into play tapped and counts as both basic land types? A real dual land? I understand that the price is prohibitive, and this buddy land is much cheaper, but you weren't discussing price. There is no way that buddy lands are greater in sheer power than original duals. I'm sorry, but there just isn't.
As far as the rarity, I guess it could go either way. All I know is that I would GLADLY take these as a rare. I LOVE LOVE LOVE lands. Who cares that you have some kind of crazy rare bomb creature when you cannot even play it. A solid mana base is what makes a solid deck, IMO.
