I think because they needed a way to get cipt tapped lands into DTK DTK FRF draft, but not in as high a number as KTK Drafts DTK might be more mono coloured I know people are thinking dual colours based on the dragons, but Mono's certainly a possibility too as for the basics they said they couldn't just replace the land slot with cipt lands so they had to add basics.
Remember though BNG had 60 commons so you're not actually losing any cards to these lands
That's right. It's how I determined the breakdown. 10 Mythics 35 Rare 60 uncommons 60 common when they announced th lands on Christmas I figured that has to be where the extra 20 went. Otherwise you're looking at 70 and 70 with 20 of the commons being land so the breakdown would be in truth 50 commons 70 uncommons which is silly. the 20 land cards aren't taking a slot in the ten common cards so really they are negligible impact. (though I look forward to day some guy in draft opens a chase mythic a foil chase rare and a fetchland and has to choose)

I'm not sure I understand you but Conspiracy is a 185 card set if you don't count the Draft Matters cards -- 13 conspiracys and 12 draft artifacts which only appear in the "land slot".
Excluding those 25 cards, Conspiracy has 80/185 commons.
Fate Reforged has 70/185 commons but 10 of those are the new Refuge lands.

Fate Reforged has 70/185 commons but 10 of those are the new Refuge lands.
and there are 10 new basic lands which you don't normally get in a small set.
Conspiracy is a supplemental product that's designed to be drafted on it's own and with slightly different rules it's a completely different beast.
Dragon's maze had a split of 70 40 35 10 (11 really but maze's end was a special case)
Dark Ascension had a split of 68 44 38 and 12 (so glad i wasn't doing the number crunch for that one.)
Theros block they added 10 more uncommons and moved ten commons to uncommon to improve variance in Draft so you have the 60 - 60 - 35 - 10 division
Now FRF has 20 lands, they don't take up a common slot though so for all extents and purposes the set is still 60 - 60 - 35 - 10, this is the new normal. 249 cards, plus 20 lands for large sets (249 is number of cards in Modern masters 2015 as well) and 165 cards for small sets if a small set needs new lands they will probably be handled like they were here and be in addition to the 165.

Thanks for for your help with this thread guys and and sorry for any mistakes i made along the way. This was fun
Maybe the lands are meant to show the time travel?

Didn't Born and Journey have 165 cards and this is the first one with 185?
