I love the entire rare cycle of the future sight dual lands. Each have amazing art and useful abilities.
With Zendikar coming and going without River of Tears getting reprinted, I'd say that takes it out of consideration for the next few sets. I also doubt that they'll finish the Grove of the Burnwillows cycle while Punishing Fire is still legal in extended.
That leaves this and Horizon Canopy, both of which I'd love to see reprinted sometime down the line

Eh, it's a good, usable dual land, and I certainly wouldn't mind seeing the full set printed, but Glacial Fortress will almost always be better. If you have an Island or a Plains already, then the Fortress already has full functionality, whereas this needs both in order to have full functionality. And even if you have neither, at worst, Glacial Fortress will still only be out of action for a single turn, whereas this will sit around producing only colorless mana indefinitely, until you get an island or plains. The only situation I can see where this would be better is if you don't have an island or plains out already, and have a use for colorless mana immediately on the turn you play it, and even then you're probably going to fall behind eventually, unless you draw a basic on the next turn.

All of the future shifted lands look so amazing. They really pulled out all the stops for the art on them.

This is great!
Does not come into play tapped, and lets you splash islands if you playing with plains, and vice versa.

You know what would be interesting if they took away the colorless mana producing and then made it a three color land instead, with the same abilities. It would get kind of confusing though...

We're still waiting for this cycle to come to fruition... if only because this is so pretty.

I can't think of a time where I would want this but not Mystic Gate and it also seems almost always worse than Glacial Fortress. It's reasonable but deceptively mediocre I think.
edit: @tapir, you couldve just tapped your mystic gate for UW...

Lets you assemble {WU} by turn 2. Good for Meddling Mage.
