Each Time Spiral card was an homage to at least one previously printed card.
This card is referencing Ruins of Trokair in flavor while subtly referencing the white mana-searching abilities of the past, like Land Tax and Tithe. Trokair was the capital city of the white-aligned Fallen Empires-era nation of Icatia. It was sacked by orcs and goblins while the Order of Leitbur were off fighting the Order of the Ebon Hand.

Forget where I heard this, but...
Primeval Titan attacks, finds two Flagstones, which blow up, then find two plains. Landfall triggers 4 times.

Crucible of Worlds, check.
Azusa, Lost but Seeking, check.
Oracle of Mul Daya, check.
Rites of Flourishing, check.
Flagstones of Trokair, check.
But how to get rid of the Flagstones?
Dust Bowl, check.

Works exceptionally well with Genju of the Realm - be as aggressive as you want, there's no downside in death!

With the new Legend rules, you won't be able to cheat out lands with this as easily.

Every tricky combo aside, it's mono-white deck thinning. With no drawback, and doesn't cost as much (moneywise) as the pain lands.
Also, gets nonbasic plains, that's pretty damn epic.

Not just armageddon. Building an extended competetive ghost dad deck and tomb of Urami has won me games and this card makes it even better.

Run with Knight of The Reliquary, Steppe Lynx, lots of shocks/duals and fetches, then thow in some Harrow or Crop Rotion, maybe a few Lotus cobra, add in some lands like Vesuva (to kill your flagstones or be mean and wasteland their Legendary lands) and Sejiri Steppe that can get fetched out so your 15/15 Khight can't get blocked, or maybe a Rancor or Armadillo Cloak for Trample and extra life (failing those Loxodon Warhammer or Behemoth Sledge work fine too). Throw in all the good White removal spells (path/Wrath of god/Day of Judgment/Swords to Plowshares/O-Ring/Journey to Nowhrere, some solid spells like tarmogoyf or Watchwolf and some Birds/Noble Heirarc and you have a nice landfall/flagstones abusing casual deck.

having this in play and then playing another will automatically make you put two more planes into play, this counts as three lands coming into play for landfall abilities
