I thought this was an unhinged card for a second. What the heck!?

To summarize:
1. Homelands has no basic lands
2. It is unclear if it works with Mirrorweave (but I guess it does work) - since the older versions of such cards have been ruled
3. Barren Glory is one of the coolest ways to win, though extremely difficult due to missing basic lands and a missing 'Homelands'-way to sac other basic lands. I'm thinking of some 'sweep'-action plus a 'discard-all' spell...
4. I wonder why nobody mentioned changing around creatures/permanents as with "Puca's Mischief" or "Cultural Exchange" yet - or, if you like that sort of card, Thieve's Auction, Scrambleverse or such (which is extremely un-powerful of course).
So, if anyone could check the Mirrorweave-question thoroughly (and not just guess!), that would probably solve almost everything in question.

They made this card in case anyone donates you a card from Homelands

If you play this card with R&D's Secret Lair, you win a Nobel prize.

Like with the other two set hosers, Mirrorweave makes this far more amusing.

I'm still waiting for Homelands Chime, which sacrifices to destroy all cards from the Apocalypse expansion.

The comp rules update for M14 changes how this works. Now it will destroy every card whose first printing was in Homelands:
109.3
Expansion symbols are no longer a characteristic. Magic cards are recognized as individual game pieces by their English card names. One of the central tenets of that system is that all cards with the same name are considered the same for deck building and play purposes. This system lets us reprint cards, print promo cards, and have cards appear in many languages. But three older cards referred to cards from a specific expansion, and that runs contrary to the system. The Arabian Nights Bird Maiden and the Fourth Edition version should be the same, but City in a Bottle says they're not. In fact, it makes the original version worse!
So, cards will no longer refer to expansion symbol as a characteristic. The three cards that used to do this (City in a Bottle, Golgothian Sylex, and Apocalypse Chime) will receive errata in a future update to refer to ca... (see all)

I think everyone is missing the point of this card. You aren't hosing Homelands because it's at all powerful. Isn't it merciful that they included a built-in way to pretend it never happened?
