For Challenge # 142. Alpha didn't think there was anything wrong with Taiga and its ilk. The dual lands were balanced because they were rare, and because opponents could punish the player for using a land with both types.
That's some absurdist thinking nowadays. But in '93, it made sense. So let's extend that thought. We can give basic lands extra abilities if we just tack on a potentially negative new type to it. Since this card doesn't make much sense by itself, I added Toxify as well.
Would the Kamigawa shrine effects have appeared in this timeline?
You know, I didn't even think of them. I guess not, because that's broken. Or if they did, they would probably cost less and done less.
