It doesn't make it a land and then changes it to a Forest, cause that would actually work. This changes something (for example, a creature) into a Forest directly. Rule 305.7 is about things that are already lands changing into different lands.
305.7. If an effect sets a land's subtype to one or more of the basic land types, the land no longer has its old land type. It loses all abilities generated from its rules text and its old land types, and it gains the appropriate mana ability for each new basic land type. Note that this doesn't remove any abilities that were granted to the land by other effects. Setting a land's subtype doesn't add or remove any card types (such as creature) or supertypes (such as basic, legendary, and snow) the land may have. If a land gains one or more land types in addition to its own, it keeps its land types and rules text, and it gains the new land types and mana abilities.
Does this change a land's subtype into a basic land type? NO.
Therefor, 305.7 is not what you are looking for.
Actually it works just fine. We did our reseach, and adding a basic land type removes all other abilities unless otherwise stated. That's why blood moon works the way it does.
EDIT: more specifically, comp. rule 305.7 will help you here.
Wrong. 305.7 deals with lands changing types, not with permanents becoming land.
What you are actually looking for is Soul Sculptor, which is very simular to this and shows you must explicitly remove all abilities.
that it's probably Windbrisk Heights rather than Wasteland at #15.
Agreed. It was popular during it's time and wouldn't cause a riot when reprinted. It also fits with WotC philosophy that creature combat is the only thing that should be playable in Magic.
Keep brewing and testing though. It's always more fun to play your own creation than running some stock list.
That's just opinion, and I tend to disagree. Playing stocklists is the best way to learn what real power is, gives you insight in the mind of a great deckbuilder, and wins you games. Those all help in improving your decks in the future.
The best way to learn how weak a card is, is to crunch them underfoot.
M13 is weird. My first impression of 'not-enough-green-fat' was confirmed, making all those 3/3's even more relevant than I expected. White is still OP though, with exalted flyers and O-Rings.
I miss combo. The only way I want to tap creatures is infinite amount of times, and the spells I'd like to cast should be countering counters, putting up the storm count or draining for lethal.
SClone, Ratchet Bomb and Powder Keg are both budget SB options that can take care of the mana producers commonly found in other decks and they happen to be fine collateral hate for tokens/Delver. Powder Keg also destroys artifact lands, despite how uncommon those have become, making it an excellent way to have an Affinity player dislike you.
I basicly came to the same conclusion for my sideboard as well. But I'm mainboarding a Jitte currently (-1 Tragic Slip), and am actually considering swapping that for Sword of Body and Mind (faster clock, no Delver blocks, tokens to carry it).
Playtesting the black deck has shown that it has no proper clock, and a lot of decks have non-land mana sources. I suggest using a sword or jitte to speed things up a little, so you can kill before they draw one of those....

Good vs Geist of st Traft, Lingering Souls, Invisible Stalker, planeswalkers, and lots of misc crap.

The card was last printed in Fifth edition (1997), I think? Age of the 3 mana Land destruction and all...
