Thoughts on Shard/Wedge Fetchlands

Custom Cards forum

Posted on Feb. 18, 2015, 3:19 p.m. by Gruss029

What if there were a set of lands that fetched for any three basic land types?

Something like - "tap, sacrifice [cardname], pay 1 life: search your library for a basic Swamp, Forest, or Plains and put it on to the battlefield."

Worse than fetchlands as they can't fetch shocklands but it would be better for 2-3-color decks than Evolving Wilds or Terramorphic Expanse.

Any thoughts?

It seems feasible to me, I can dig it. Not terribly broken, but not likely to be printed either.

They probably wouldn't see much play, as fetch into shock is better, but they are balanced and help with budget tricolor mana bases/EDH manabases that need to fill some slots.

The Panoramas are close. Bant Panorama

They see some EDH play as nighthawk101 thought. If they were untapped/free, they might have been better.

Right, I know about the panoramas but I am very frustrated by the lack of untapped basic land fetch options. As a primarily casual/commander player, there isn't anything between Evolving Wilds (frustratingly bad to play with) and fetchlands (expensive). Not everyone needs to grab a Bayou or Stomping Ground, hence the card idea.
