It is still a drawback to play duals in T1. There are still basic lands being played. Plus, these are nowhere close to duals. They are more like the Legendary lands from Kamigawa.

Wait... So are you saying they are or are not strictly better the basics? I am getting mix singles here.
And people only ran one of the Legendary lands because if you get 2 in your opening hand (or latter in the game) it's bad. Which is not the case in this case. If the ledendary lands in kamigawa were not ledendary how many do you think people would run in a deck?
So, i'm thinking some of the text is on the wrong side of the card. It should be:
Cedar Guardian5GG
Creature - Elemental Guardian (U)
Trample
5/5
-----
----- Guarded Cedars
Land (U)
You may play Guarded Cedars. Guarded Cedars has no mana cost. ,T: Add GG to your mana pool.
Since the text telling you that you can play it as a land applies to the "flipped" side, it should be on that side of the card. Since that side is a land, you may play it as you would a land (so if you control a Crucible of Worlds, you may play that side from your graveyard), but i dont think you'd be able to search for it with cards like Sylvan Scrying or Reap and Sow.
EDIT: Maybe it should be like the odyssey filter lands so that it isn't "better" than a basic forest. Also changed mana cost from 6G to 5GG to match the GG it now produces as a land.
Also, aren't the dual lands in T1 strictly better than normal basic lands? These lands are nonbasic also...
OK so you were asking here, not stating that they were.
But I think we all can agree that the T1 lands are too powerful to be reprinted. In t2 there is simply not enough non basic hate for them. And while your right T1 deck does have basics in them, its normally 3-5(if any) not even half of the lands that they play(well maybe in gobo's they run about half or more), and I do not think they would run them at all of it was not for the pain sac lands(i was playing T1 before the pain sac's and no one ran basics back then, unless their deck was mono colored for some reason).
If basics are not strictly worst than why does a t1 deck not run as many or more of them than duals?
Wizards does not like printing lands that are far and away better than basics(and will not do it on purpose), which is why the ones from kama were legends.
Anyway for my opinion on this idea please see my other posts.
So if I pay (r/b) mana I get a spell that costs 2(u/w)?
Since i am playing "wrath" fliped.
*head explodes*
B/R shouldn't get the Dehydration effect though.

Do you know the T1 land ecosystem? It's very interesting... and where dual lands are not strictly better than basic lands.

Doesn't work. The flipped side of a flip card is nonexistent until it becomes flipped.
