­Fool's Paradise + Absorb Vis

Huh. A land that gives you mana in exchange for an opponent getting cards; and... a Drain Life variant that's more expensive than Drain Life proper, and can't even hit creatures, but at least you can cycle it for a land. Seems weak.

So both are "Me and an opponent" cards. Both involve land.

How about some symmetrical land-gain. How cheap can that go? Well, it's kinda sorta worse than a mana-elf... so what the heck, let's be just about as splashy as possible. Playing this would be something you'd need to be very careful of; you're likely to help your opponent hit their sweetspot sooner than you, if not. Let's say... untapped. For the scary "Ok, I cast this four times; why waste cards on a curve?" dream-hand.

Aww.. damn; I wanted to call this "March of the lands" but of course that's a part-cycle of enchantments costing {3}{c}. So I can't.

Ok, rarity. This just screams "rare" at me. It's not complex (though shuffling puts it above common, ideally) - but it's splashy as heck and the power level is kinda ridiculous. Probably this either ends up upcosted slightly; or someone points out it was already printed, but better.

Rare is certainly right for this.

This hasn't quite been printed. It's a bit similar to Eladamri's Vineyard. It's also similar to Collective Voyage; if all players between them pay a total of 1 to Collective Voyage, you get this.

I think this deserves to exist, and indeed at this price point. (It'd also be one of those cards like Ghost Quarter that force tournament decks to run 2-3 basic lands, which I'm all for because all-nonbasic manabases annoy me.)
