Zuals makes me think of Ghostbusters, and tangolands assumes people know the idiom, which assumes they're English speakers.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
In order to have them enter untapped, you must sacrifice a Burnished Hart. This most closely follows the formula as to which the shocklands are named, the Hartlands closest relative. Plus it is also a play on words, which is awesome.
Slowduals. They ARE the only true duals after, well, duals and shocklands. And since slowlands is taken by the Tempest/Kamigawa lands that were really slow, this would be it.
Though I like also laglands and baselands.
Tangolands is the most creative.

I like latelands, easy to pronounce. Baselands is also nice, since they have the basic type and care for basic lands, so I might call them both eventually.
Tangolands just takes too long to say. Laglands makes me think of the ice age depletion lands. Zuals... you'd have to remember where they came from. Not so easy five years from now. I voted Baselands but I don't see it catching on.

If the Vikings were around today, they would probably be amazed at how much glow-in-the-dark stuff we have, and how we take it for granted.
I think Dual Check Lands would be fitting. This gives you exactly the info you need. They are "dual" lands, they "check" and the best part, you need dual basics.
I liked a variation of that penned by another user in another thread, "doublecheck" - IMO it flows off the tongue very well, but that's just me.
Also agreed for double-check land.
The lands should explain what they do. Fetchland, Scry Land, Pain Land, Gain Land, etc... Tango Land is a more obscure reference.

I prefer the term DualCheck over DoubleCheck because "Dual" has both a unique meaning to the game (more so that it has the land types) while still explaining the "Checks for two". Also, personally I feel "DualChecks" flow better when spoken because I like shorter words when referring to Duals and we're already using 2 words instead of 1.
Given that the tempest / kamigawa cycle is unplayable, and these are the counterpoint to fastlands, yes, slowlands seems the proper term
I think when you want to look at what people will call these, you can't go with what they should call these or what you want, it'll wind up the most obvious term
I voted other. My name for them...LAZY LANDS!
Thats right, LAZY LANDS! These lands don't do sh*t on their own and take a whole turn to actually work, but will actively go in if 2 or more other lands are already doing most of the workload. Too lazy to act on their own and rely on others, these are LAZYLANDS!
Ugin is going to get really bad once all the fatties are colourless. I sold all mine. Sell sell sell!
He's going to be absolutely rotten. Hangarback walker has already nerfed him quite significantly. I reckon he'll be $3 junk within 2 months of rotation

RIP Batman guy. I hope somebody picks up the slack now that you are gone. Sick children need their Batman.

This is the one I like the most and I will personally be using it at my local so hopefully it catches on.

It won't be tango lands or battle lands.
In his Second 100 days - Yawgmoth's Bargain is unrestricted in Vintage.
What is going to happen in the Next 100 days!!!
This is the good stuff right here.
