The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
Considering the amount of Eldrazi spawn token producing cards in set, I am really hoping this indicates that we will be getting another dose of Doubling Season.
open a pack and pick 2 of this and a metarpod ... instead of a remand

There will be a LOT of these lands in limited. Back of the table math (with a reasonable guess of foil rarity) implies 9 normal and 0.6 foil bouncelands per draft pod on average.
The big question is - will this be a format where you pick every single-on-colour bounceland fairly highly (and treat double-on-colour ones as first to second picks), or will people only want double-on-colour ones and be content to take them late?
Original Ravnica block was the former. Bouncelands were often first picked.
While not necessarily a just reason because we don't have a full spoiler, cards like Horde of Notions means there's some 5C shenanigans going on and Wizards has yet to offer us significant fixing to make that a viable archetype. Khans had 2 color dual lands at common and even 4C was tricky. At uncommon you won't see these all the time (but luckily being a 2 color dual with a drawback people will only draft these if they're in the colors).
Edit: Plus many people are a little disappointed because this cycle rules out the Urza-Tron lands as well as Grove of the Burnwillows and Horizon Canopy.
I'm highly amused by the fact that if people want to access their colour-fixing when dropping Prime Time in the MM2 Limited environment, they're going to come out with a net land gain of 0.

Ack, that is indeed most crappy!
I'm betting the Tron lands will show up *somewhere* (Fall Duel Decks?),
but I was *really* hoping for Horizon Canopy

There goes everyone's hopes of good lands in this set, no Zen fetches, no Future Sight lands and no Urza lands. I think this was an awful choice for lands especially at uncommon.
It's unfortunate but this set's been a slam for me in almost every other department. If I had to pick cards to add in at the last second it would be Aven Mindcensor, Serum Visions, and Damnation. Almost every single other modern-playable card is in.
Bouncelands were probably too good and abundant at common, but I feel they're to infrequent at uncommon. If WotC aim to make the eldrazi playable in limited they need to print more acceleration at common. Maybe the Time Spiral chargelands are downgraded to common?
From the name and number crunch, there are no more lands unless they are going to come before Blinkmoth Nexus... I was really hoping for Inkmoth Nexus and Filter lands instead... I guess we are going to have to wait another year or two for those then. Also disappointed that no Future Sight or Urza lands got reprinted. Oh well, you can only cram so much into the set...
Edit: Plus many people are a little disappointed because this cycle rules out the Urza-Tron lands as well as Grove of the Burnwillows and Horizon Canopy.
As well as fetches (not that anybody expected them) and WWK manlands. There is just one free land slot left.
EDIT: Make that two. Azorius Chancery is before Blinkmoth Nexus.

Don't tell me people actually though Zen Fetches would be in here? Urza lands probably is expected but we know where the fetches will be *cough*battle for zendikar*cough*.

There are ten in the set.
You will open 0.4 of them per booster. 9.6 per draft table. (This includes foils with me guessing 1 foil Simic Growth Chamber per 15 non-foil ones; that is a guess)
This is the same number of bouncelands as were found in packs of Ravnica: City of Guilds (almost exactly), where there were 4 of them in common slots.
Welp, there's our fixing!
Those all needed more foils badly- especially Simic Growth Chamber.

Control needs more love.

Could be City of Brass again... Possibly Boseiju...
Other options are Evolving Wilds (though we just got it in Dragons), Exotic Orchard or Emeria, the Sky Ruin
There is also a slight chance that there is another land that comes before Azorius Chancery for a third land slot...

What about Terramorphic Expanse?
I did a little research. Ancient Ziggurat and Academy Ruins are the only two that would make any remote sense at this point.
