UNBAN_SHAHRAZAD is clearly missing the point of landfall, that being your enchantments and creatures get stronger as you play more land. it basically gives you more land to play wich is the power of landfall; maybe try exploring the in's and out's of playing magic before you post a criticizing comment.

This with Voltaic Key. Two mana of one color and one of another.

This card should be pretty good with Scars coming out and what not. 4/5 for not coming into play tapped and a uncommon card making mana of any color

Ava_Adore, that's two. You shouldn't count your land drops. THat being said, I like this card, especially with Teatering Peaks.

Absolutely great card for mana acceleration. Tap 4 lands to play, return two of your tapped lands to your hand, and play one of them if you haven't this turn. Then you have 3 mana available this turn, and 6 next turn! Loads of fun in a shards artifact deck with Etherium Sculptor, you can play it for even cheaper!!!

Nets for 2 mana and 1 mana acceleration plus two more available landfall.
Plus multi-colored expansion.
Nets for 3 mana if you return and play a 'enters tapped land' but you get their bonuses too
I'll use it over rampant growth / growth spasm

I feel this card is underrated. I use it in my mill deck with hedron crab and halimar depths and roil elemental. Also, since it doesn't come into play tapped, yo can use it right away. Very handy when you have counterspells in your hand and don't want to tap everything for ramp or a big spell.

I'd say this card is pretty good for what it does. It not only can bounce 2 of the lands used to pay for it back to your hand for reuse, it also refunds the mana for those 2 lands for later use with it's tap ability, and if you haven't used your land drop for the turn, you can drop one of the bounced lands so you get an extra mana refunded from it's cost, meaning it, in essence, cost you only 1 mana to cast.

I think your all missing the true power of this card. It says "Return two land". if you don't have two land, nothing bad happens. So if you have a Sol Ring and City of Traitors, this card is just 4 for 2. Plus its amazing with cards like Realm Razer, which I expect to see a lot of in ALA-ZEN standard.

and good synergy with landfall. assuming you run out of land cards in your hand.
