MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
I think the reason the Deserts were costed 1X is because there are more cards that interact with deserts--particular if there are any in the graveyard--than these non-specific nonbasic cycling lands. It's more of a limited theme thing I'd gather than anything else.

In its heart it is. That's why its lonely!
Apparently that one mana difference is a big deal.

I do not think the deserts needed the mana tax compared to Forgotten Cave
