This card is amazing. Obviously not as fantastic if you are unable to pull swamps before you get this card in hand, but at least it can still give 1 colorless rather than having no effect at all. Plus it doesn't come into play untapped, you don't have to unsummon a land, you don't have to pay life, no setbacks. And only an uncommon. Great card.

Very good card, excellent for an uncommon, equals (or even better than) M11 and SOM dual lands, which are rare. You can easily run 4 of them in a BW deck in which you run 4 Godless Shrine, 4 Scrubland, 4 Plains and 4 Swamp and the slight drawback will almost assuredly never occur. 5/5.

I wouldn't say they're better than the M11 lands, as first turn, this land does nothing, so it effectively comes into play tapped. They are decent uncommons, though.

@Kale_Eledar first turn this can add 1 colorless mana to your mana pool, every bit helps...

It's interesting that of this cycle of cards (this, Tainted Peak, Tainted Isle, and Tainted Wood) this is the most expensive on the secondary market, and by quite a measure as well. Most you can pick up for less than $1 apiece, and yet these go for about double. Not wallet-breaking expense, no, but still interesting.
Anyway, love this cycle of cards. Always great to see one of these in your opening hand, so long as there's a Swamp in there too.
