Hmmm, might explain the buylisting that was happening with Heroes Downfall. Some weird stuff is going down with Channel fireball. Rhystic Study is being buylisted for insane money as well.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
I had an awaken and I didn't care for the control aspects and wanted a more aggro ramp deal.

Well, my opinion means nothing (at this point), but I think it absolutely does.
I believe (very strongly) they were planning this for the third act of BFZ before they shuttled Emrakul off to Innistrad.
As in, 3rd Act, things are going horribly wrong and Nissa finds a way to commune with Zendikar's world soul and make it REALLY ANGRY. Then, Zendikar itself rises up to fight (and defeat/repulse) the Eldrazi once and for all, saving the plane. It would fight back with MAN LANDS.
Now, none of this happened. So, they had all this stuff designed with nowhere to go. Guess where it went..
That's my theory. The appearance of this card certainly supports it. I'm not on Twitter but if this actually pans out, I might sign up just to ask MaRo if this is what happened..

I would love that, but the fact that the best Manland cards are in the exact colors that Windgrace isn't would tilt me so much.
I don't really follow you here. These things have absolutely nothing to do with eachother. I mean, you raise a completely valid point--Colonnadeis the best, (I think it's arguable), but that's not a reason that the Windgrace deck can't be about achieving victory by way of Man Lands or just animating lands into 'man lands'.

The point is that I want to use my cards in a trading card game to play the game? And the best cards to do so are in the wrong colors, so I can't do that because color identity?
If Commander decks were all new cards, sure, but sadly we need pre-existing cards to be able to make a decent strategy. WUG would be the best colors for the strategy.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

This card was already in those sets. It was reprinted here. It was widely played in standard.
"You can tell how dumb someone is by how they use Mary Sue"
Hoping the third commander has that theme. But anyway this is a good fit in the decks, especially as commander removal.

None of them are green

You still have a fine selection of creaturelands to pick from:
