I like this spell only because it is so damn unexpected.... How often do you exchange control of a land? This is actually a really cool way to secure a landwalking combo which can't be dispelled... no enchantements needed, and it will work with any kind of opponent.
Looks like the made a creature with a similar effect: Vedalken Plotter
2.5/5

This is the ultimate trollface.
"Nice Kessig Wolf Run... you didn't need that, did you?"
With so many land-based combos in the current meta, swapping lands is fun. Of course, if you're playing this you're not playing Standard.

"I don't see how people would rate it so low."
It's because players today are spoiled with combos and themes that are easy to figure out. There isn't much creativiy in Standard, Extended, or even Legacy anymore; it's all about everyone playing the same deck to see who pulls off the combo first.
This card is a 5. Recognize greatness.

Care to somehow offer evidence supporting this statement?
I've been playing since Fallen Empires, and I've seen this type of comment made a few times before. However, I have never seen anything that actually makes me think that it's anything more than an older player spouting some elitist nonsense. Linear deck-building goes all the way back to Goblin King, Lord of Atlantis, and Zombie Master in Alpha. There may be a greater total number of linear cards in the game now, as the card pool has grown over time. But you'd have to demonstrate that there is now a higher percentage of linear cards, compared to modular ones, for the claim that decks are 'easier to... (see all)

Or you could give your opponent an undiscovered paradise, and if you use it to cast this spell you get it back at end of turn... or maybe a rainbow vale, since it goes back and forth anyway
