Poor Feroz. A charitable flavor interpretation is impossible. Apparently doing evil is as hard as doing good and requires input from other sources, doing magic-for-magic's-sake is twice as easy as good or evil but still requires some outside resources, and even a measly 1cc artifact takes an entire school of wizards an entire turn to produce.
Compare with Mishra's Factory. That Mishra dude made the trains run on time.
(Someday they'll print Feroz as a planeswalker, and we'll all be sorry for having made fun of him in school. Feroz' loyalty-boost ability will be "Add 
to your mana pool. Skip your next turn." and his ultimate ability will be "Tap all lands on the battlefield. If a land other than Wizards' School would untap, exile it instead." Then this card will see a huge spike in value; it might even go as high as $0.25. Buy 'em up early...)

This school is for the wizard kids who didn't do well enough on their wizard exams to get into the Tolarian Academy.

Feroz was apparently really, really bad when it came to using colored mana.

"Hogwarts: strictly worse than Arcane Sanctum."
Arcane Sanctum comes into play tapped; this doesn't. It's not a case where you can use the term "strictly better".
Can Wizards buy some airtime on TV and do some public service announcements regarding the term "strictly better'? Please?

Gotta feel sorry for the poor pupils there, studying inefficient mana usage...

Much more directly upgraded to Shimmering Grotto, surely?

I would love to see people use the term "strictly better" as it should be used. Sorry for the off-topic, on the card, lame :D

Is this the worst set of multicolor lands in Magic? My gut tells me yes.
