Ixalan is all about exploration. Many things we have seen so far mention Orazca, the City of Gold. Treasure tokens are a theme in this set. I think Orazca is going to be represented as a city full of treasure. This will be represented in either of two ways: a legendary land, or a DFC artifact that turns into a legendary land. It will most likely follow the treasure theme.
Maybe a land like Ozarca, the City of Gold. Or Ancient Compass that turns into Ozarca, the City of Gold. If a DFC, it would not have either enters the battlefield phrases, obviously.
I could see the tap effect also say "Pay 2 Life", or something to the effect of "Whenever a treasure is put into your graveyard, you lose 1 life" or "an opponent gains 1 life". There just seems to be only upside for this land, there is almost no draw back. I like the concept though.
that would be cool, what I think would be interesting to include with the discovery of that would be a powerful Lich inhabitant, although I don't know how far WoTc is for going parallel to Tomb of Annihilation.
I like the idea of Orazca tapping for treasures over just producing mana. It could do both of course. But I do hope we get a Legendary Land for it in Rivals.
I really love Ixalan as a set and plane. It's finally the exploration story I've been wanting too. We get a great survey of this plane without destroying it, just seeing it all. That's also what I wanted.
I seem to recall that, time and again, the mods have made it abundantly clear this is not the Custom Card creation forum. Full custom cards, whether created to speculate or otherwise, are not allowed outside the CCCF. Speculating on abilities is fine, posting a full on card design is not. This topic should be moved to the CCCF, and if I were a mod, I would start putting a message at the top of Rumor mill pages written in bold, red letters warning against such practices in the future.

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.
And nobody would've noticed if you hadn't necro'd and backseat modded...
