Man. So glad to have had this card for the past seven years. Beautiful art, which looks even prettier with the slow fade from red to green in the text box. And, of course, it is monstrously powerful.

Why this, or any of the fetches, don't have a perfect 5.0 rating genuinely surprised me.

with Alpha-revised duals its better than City of Brass in most 5-color. Using a lot of fetchland is kind of risky, though, in a 60 card deck, make sure you have anti-LD on sideboard, since a fetch reduces your chance to draw into land (one of its greatest advantages as well.)

This is like the cards in Zendikar that are fetch lands, except more useful because of the color.

It's not rated 5 because it's not a Taiga-- Everything pales in comparison t the original true dual lands.
It's still pretty darned good, though, especially in combination with the original (or Ravnica) duals.

Fetch lands are largely immune to Wasteland. If my opponent every tries to kill my fetch land with a Wasteland, I can just sacrifice the fetch land in response. And the land that the fetch land retrieves can very well be a basic.

Actually, fetches are generally better than the duals.
What would you rather have in your hand - a fetch or a dual? A fetch allows you to get more than one kind of dual, it allows you to get a basic land in case your opponent has a lot of nonbasic LD, and it allows you to get utility like Dryad Arbor. Plus, as it was mentioned, they don't get hit by Wasteland. Fetchlands are far more useful than duals.
