Wizards always print non-rare duals as kind of mediocre by comparison, but could we have some strictly-worse lands that have a different drawback, not tapped? Or would that defeat the purpose?
This is very strong. Aggro decks around the world would snap this up. Prooobably not unprintably strong, but Wizards would definitely make these rare because $$$$.
It's worse than the shocklands, indeed. The shocklands are probably the most iconic dual land cycle from the past 10 years though (together with fetches).
You're right, this is printable. It's almost certain to be rare, though.
I was like, "The shocklands have a choice of two drawbacks. One drawback by itself is a common/uncommon land. Lets see what lands with the other drawback look lke."

I like the idea quite a bit. I feel like Wizards would hesitate to put a land that hurts your life total below rare, though.

I mean, yes, it's very strong, but it's worse than the shocklands in two ways and they printed those in RtR, right? Are those now too strong to print?
I did consider increasing the damage (although that only helps up to a point with fast decks which don't care), but I wasn't sure.

Oh indeed, it's an interesting exploration.
