For a custom set I'm working on, I designed a cycle of rare two color lands in the vein of the Memorial cycle (e.g. Memorial to Unity) and the Manlands (e.g. Celestial Colonnade). I tried to choose effects that would be useful for most decks and didn't rely too much on what your opponents are doing, as these are intended to be staple includes for standard and not ifnfluence deck building too much.
Silent Sanctuary

Silent Sanctuary enters the battlefield tapped.
: Add or
, , Sacrifice Silent Sanctuary: Exile target permanent, then return it to the battlefield under its owner’s control at the beginning of the next endstep.
Shipwreck Graveyard

, , Sacrifice Shipwreck Graveyard: Look at the top three cards of your library. Put one of them into your hand and rest into your graveyard.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

They look good but their costs are very low. Lands need rather significant costs on them because they have nearly zero opportunity costs to putting in your deck.

I did intentionally cost them fairly aggressively. I am thinking of raising the costs. Where might you put them at?
