All these cards produce an effect based on the number of basic lands of their corresponding colors you control. However, there is no blue one. Can someone check the orb results to see if we're missing something?
MaRo has spoken about printing incomplete cycles being bad design practices before, so I find it odd that they'd do this without a good reason. I'd love to see this:
Spell Douse
Instant - UU
Counter target spell unless its controller pays 1 for each island you control.
Then again, the message could very well be "blue sucks, so we don't even care enough to complete the cycle." Discuss.
Also note that green has two members of the cycle: the Larva gets +1/+1 when attacking per forest you control.
My real question is why they keep hammering us with these cycles. We just had a cycle of these cards in M10, and Shadowmoor just had a different cycle of these. And all of these cycles have had some number of reprints next to some number of non-reprint cards.

Theyre tremendous casual/budget favorites among players because they reward someone for not spending a dime on their mana base (or at least only on universal cards like mutavault or scrying sheets) and justify not splashing another color.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

I don't think it's a cycle.

Janky as it may seem, Blanchwood Armor on a Silhana Ledgewalker used to completely swing games around.
