Can be good when you've got too much lands.

I was thinking about this but the 2 mana killed it for me. Maybe in some casual decks that's ok, but for 2 mana I expect to draw a card AND keep a land (even if it got replaced with an island). Hmm, maybe it'd be ok in EDH.

This card, and all the others in this cycle of lands, are better than most people give credit. They are terrible draw in the early game, but mid and late they can be what you need them to be. A tapped land, (it has to have a drawback of some sort) or it's pay two, draw a card. Also not bad (especially good in the other colors).

The only thing is, the pain lands do it a little better. You pay 1 life, and get your land anyway. Also, all FURTHER draws are less likely to be lands. Functionally, doing the same thing this card does. Still, this card, IRL, costs a lot less than the pain lands.

It throws me off that this printing has the cycling above the ETBT and mana effects. Anyone else?

Different set, but this is cheaper
