The art work perfectly embodies the living areas of the Gruul; savage, destroyed, and brutal. Broken buildings and a severe lack of organized civilization are the Gruul Clans favorite places to live of course. If ya wanna know my opinion on the mechanics of the card, then check out my review of Temple Garden.

I am curious if this counts as basic land if used with kodama's reach as it is a mountain and forest. Either way it still has nice color fixing, and even though to use it right away requires 2 life, thats better than a card that comes into play tapped no matter what becomes it gives you the option. If you draw it in your first hand with only one other land card you wont be kicking yourself.

It's not a basic land but any card that specifically refers to "forest" or "mountain" can fetch it.

Best artwork? Really? I actually think this is the worst art of the shocklands.
It's still good, certainly, but I certainly don't think this is the best art in all of MtG.

On the one hand this card counts a a nonbasic for effects like Price of Progress or Goblin Ruinblaster because it doesn't say "basic land" on the card type. On the other hand I think it has great strategic value since it counts as a forest and a mountain for cards like Kird Ape of course, but also for Domain effects like Collective Restraint and Allied Strategies.

If you care about your life total, then obviously your RG deck is way too slow.

How much nicer would it have been for everyone if this cycle of 10 lands had been printed as uncommons? It would make them affordable and they are crucial in multicolour decks.
