I'm not telling you anything about what I think of the art work, hey its just my policy, everything needs to be kept secret. Ok, you wanna know something about the mechanics? You didn't hear it from me, . . . Temple Garden. But thats the last thing your ever going to hear . . .

Hmm yeah, I'm gunna say that the old real dual lands are my favorite dual lands. Then fetch lands (pay one life to get ___ or ___) then these (shock lands).
Shock lands are better if you have a way of searching for one of types to get them such as swamp or island where as the fetch lands do not have any of these types.

The person directly below me with a random string of consonants for a name is a complete and total dumbass. EDIT: Now he's above me, but MasterOfEtherium is below me. The system works, except now I'm above him again.

Someone has to say it: This cycle of lands is seriously overpriced.
Don't get me wrong- they're better than most of the crap they've given us (Rootw*ter Depths, Underground River), and having two basic land types is a BIG plus, but I just don't use these now that we have Drowned Catacomb and Sunken Ruins.
They're very good for the Modern format, but if you're playing Legacy or Vintage, there are better options to augment your Underground Seas. I play Vintage, and I haven't used this cycle since M10 and Shadowmoor produced options more useful to me.
These aren't even close to worth what they cost- save your money. They'll almost certainly reprint these, or possibly print an even better cycle.
The whole point of Modern is being more affordable and accessible, and that's hardly going to be the case when cards like this are (expensive) staples. The basic land types are the only reason this cycle is so valuable- if Wizards cares about Modern at all, they'll print more duals like that.

TL;DR- Awesome card, but wait for a reprint.
