This land is insanely good without the ability to stop taking damage.
Hmm. That's an arguable statement. It's certainly good, but if we compare it to City of Brass, it doesn't look so hot. I know there's a general assumption that "loss of life means nothing when you're winning", and that's true. But 2 life still hurts, and I'd much rather play a few pain and shock lands, then take a whalloping 2 damage regularly.
Hmm. On its own, it's a 3-way pain land. But it's double pain. That aint all bad; but it's unavoidable pain, which is. So yes, city of brass trumps it massively.
With the discard a card option, it becomes a pure triple play. Which is a nice thing, if fairly specialised. Seems ok to me.
