Just an idea for a land to help get rid of utility lands, but leaves mana producing lands alone. But there is no way to word it otherwise.

Would this wording work?
"{t}, Sacrifice Unstable spires: Destroy target land with a non mana ability."

Both of those would have the unfortunate side-effect of getting Drifting Meadow and Secluded Steppe. But those are possibly acceptable casualties given that there is a need for some solutions to Inkmoth Nexus, Kessig Wolf Run etc.

Destroy target non basic land. It deserves it.

That would be Wasteland. I assume Joz is going out of his way to avoid reprinting that card. I got to be honest... I think Wasteland is pretty destructive for any environment it's in. I'm cool with punishing players for playing too many non-basic lands, but punishing players for taking the time to optimize their deck seems uncool.

That said, the wording here is kind of clunky. Hmm... I've got a bunch of different ideas in my head, but I don't think any of them are 'solutions'.
