Right with you on that one. Some part of me feels like I should've expected something lotus-related in a set so drenched in nostalgia (especially as it already made a mox) but this still caught me off-guard.
To be fair, Urza lands are definitely worse than Posts. Three Cloudposts and you have access to nine mana. Three of the same Urza land and you have access to three mana.
Anyway, I thought the callback to Mirrodin was clever. There's another one in the set with Gaea's Protector: The art is Phyrexian Scuta from Planeshift (which is the third or fourth time Juzam Djinn's cried, by my reckoning), and the flavor text immediately made me think "There's a damn good reason to be worried about Phyrexians."
