Gezus82 because not only do they give you ANY land in your deck untapped (therefore triggering a landfall ability multiple times) they also thin your deck out. imagine these fetchlands in a landfall deck. you get a few landfall +2/+2 effect cards out, then play these and get +4/+4 (minimum!) since they count as lands.

I still think it's crazy how these are considered good enough to play in monocolor decks. I mean if your mana-fixing engine is so good people run it in monocolor decks, well then... just wow.

Of all fetchlands, in my place, Arid Mesa is worth more than it's other counterparts. The combination of red and white is a devastating deck, even without Arid Mesa it can kill off an opponent in turn four. When Arid Mesa is add into the deck, that higher probability of winning increases. Imagine Plated Geopede and Steppe Lynx with this.
Oh wait, is it too obvious?

Amongst many cards that scream to the casual player "you won't be playing in many tournaments without heavy monetary investment"
Just experimentally playtesting costs almost 80 dollars for a Red/White deck just for 4 lands, really?
Listen I have enough money, but I know there were many times in life when I didn't, and I know many magic players that don't. I say stop making these rares, I know it messes some with limited, but it's just not fair that some players strapped for cash have to save up just to play a certain color set.
Make the game more friendly to build tournament type deck. The card should punishes you for the colors, the price shouldn't.
Because of rarity, the poorer gent can't even make a friendly color deck that out paces other peoples WHEN IT SHOULD BE. Blue black should not go slower than red white. But if you don't have the money, your stuck with playing Jwar Isle Refuge or Terramorphic expanse. Even if you hav... (see all)

The fact that said land comes in play untapped is rather nice on it's own, but not being limited to pulling out basic lands, as ninjaboy05 said, makes these things awesomesauce

These fetch lands are almost better than the original dual lands. Loss of 1 life but thins an extra land out of the deck.

Sexyyyy, filter your deck. Nice! Had a question, can I use it to search for Smoldering Spires?
