Not so bad, but it slows you down a turn (just like Terramorphic Expanse). It lacks the flexibility of the aforementioned land, however.

Terramorphic Expanse doesn't slow you down a turn as it doesn't come into play tapped.

EDIT: Gotcha, the fetched land itself comes into play tapped with Terramorphic, whereas this comes into play tapped and fetches an untapped land.

Actually, this is slightly better than Terramorphic expanse as it can find shock lands/dual lands/murmuring bosk. It was great in it's day, but the newer pain fetches do what this land does with out slowing you down.

better then terramorphic expanse people. it can search for stomping ground, murmuring bosk, taiga, sapseep forest and anything with the type "forest" or "mountain" and the land that is fetched hits play untapped.

moxen is right people

Love the tropical art! This is what a RedGreen-related land should look like, IMO.

I like it as a budget fixer for my Cromat EDH. Certainly it's not a useless card and it is nicely designed. 3.5/5

Also lets you draw your card for the turn before you choose what land to fetch. That's not insignificant.

I would have to disagree and say terramorphic expanse is better only for a realistic sense.

If your running shocks/duels, then you can afford the pain fetch cycle, a much better choice then this. And this only has merit if your running the expensive shocks/duels.

So the only one who will use this card is budget players. And budget players are much better off with expanse. They can buy a playset and put it into any deck baring format legalities.

@ TheWrathOfShane:

Ever heard of EDH? These aren't half bad there. They actually supplement your one-of shocklands and duals and fetches and Terramorphics if you really, really like mana fixing.

That looks more like a verdant gorge, than a mountain valley.
