The card types Island and Mountain give this the ability to tap for {u} and {r} anyway, respectively. You'd have to get rid of the basic land types for this to work.

Ah, that's right, boo.. thanks for the reminder :)

Did you just refer to dude1818 as your "boo?" Interesting...
Even without the types, I think this might want to come in tapped.

I think he was booing my comment (I hope).

Strangely similar to my 20XX dual snow lands, which are popping up eventually. They felt really good on paper, but I fear that the problem they had in the real world is the same problem this land would probably have: Manipulating counters on lands is very annoying, and players have a tendency to forget, and just treat this as a dual land, since "I can't remember what the heck it's supposed to be doing this turn".

dude1818, if I knew you in real life, I would be tempted to call you Boo from now on.

I second jmgariepy about counters on lands. When I've played with the storage lands like Dreadship Reef, I tend to avoid using the colored mana just because it's too much to think about.

Enter mana symbols like this: {2}{U}{U/R}{PR}, {T} becomes {2}{u}{u/r}{pr}, {t}
