Huh. So it gives you something to do with manaflood... that just gives you more mana flood. Curious.
Probably fairly playable anyway, in monocolour decks - the opportunity cost of an ETBT land is fairly low, and if you have no 4-drop then it lets you jump to 6. Particularly good in control decks that can leave mana up, then do this at EOT.
Right. I really wanted to capture the flavor of expanding cities. Since this set is really about control v swarm, both of which will want to be able to get any amount of bang for their buck, I think it fits quite well. Besides, the set does tend to push towards mono-colored, so I figured it's some pretty nice (if durdly) tech to have.
I think they would make a lot of sense in slower formats. Since the copies can also produce copies, these lands have some definite value, as long as they can make it out of the door.
