Sounds a lot like a Faerie Ring (the myth behind the mushroom)

treima, indeed. {W}{B} has been a soft spot for me for awhile, and I'm liking it more now that I play Vintage and Legacy more often. Definitely some fun cards, not to mention from this particular set of the mini block Shadomoor/Eventide.

That's as close to a T2 Scrubland as you're ever gonna get folks! Less they reprint the 1st set of duals.. And I think we ALL know that's not about to happen :(

I like this cycle of dual lands. They're rare, but they're still pretty good on the whole. Not quite on the same plane as my favorites in the pain land cycle, but very few lands are. White and black is my favorite color combination, so this one holds special value to me, at least.

This card is awesome. You can tap for one Colourless or get two of a combo of two colours for either of the two colours as a basic cost. Very handy.
4.0

This + Marsh Flats = Dead Marshes.
Dead Marshes + Badlands + Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle = Mordor.
Creating a proper Mordor landbase is somewhat tricky- you want enough Mountains to use Valakut, obviously, but Mordor was more Wasteland than anything else, so you'll want to try to find as many flat, barren land cards as you can. Arid Mesa X does not fit X because the mountains are all scattered and not Mordorish.
23 lands
4x Badlands
4x Bloodstained Mire
4x Fetid Heath
4x Marsh Flats
4x Shadowblood Ridge
1x Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle
2x Wasteland
The Alpha lands are suspiciously good arts for Mordor, and I think that Alpha lands may have inspired directly by Middle-Earth. Usually, I pick Ravnica arts because they look epicker, (same for Zendikar Fetch vs. Onslaught) but going by geography, I think this list most accurately portrays Mordor and the Dead Marshes :)
This might be the most epic mana base that MTG can make.

@DarthParallax: Why use Valakut when there are more practical volcano options like Urborg Volcano?

Love this card. One of my favorite duals. Running one in my Wrath effect EDH deck.
I recently bought one of these and thought it was slightly played as it was less money turns out it was autographed by Daarken.

Probably the best art I have seen on a land card, like...Ever. 10/5 if I could :D
