This card and Necropotence are probably the two that I would pick to set aside, not actually teach a beginner with, but AFTER they've made a simple 2-color Timmy Beats Deck using any Tribe, AND after I've shown them a relatively ***ed Mono-Red deck, a Zoo Deck (the tournament version of what they tried to build), and a Blue-Black control deck....
THEN- I start attempting to explain why Necropotence is good and how good it is- That it is good takes only using 4x Sign in Bloods in the U/B teaching deck, but HOW good will take a bit longer...:P
THEN- After they are competetent enough at mana curves to build non-shabby theoretical decks with any spoiler, I throw this wierd-@$$ curve ball at em.

Based on it's flavor and name, I'd say these probably could have been legendary.

The only reason I would think these lands were not legendary is as one card equals one portion of the true size of the city.
