Great Card, I don't think this will fit into my cube though. I have 10 other cards that I run that are not part of the shock / Dual / Fetch cycles, and I don't think I have room for any more at 405. Probably a good consideration at 450+ though
Obviously strictly better evolving wilds is great (since evolving wilds is playable universal fixing), but I do think it's closer to an evolving wilds than it is to a prismatic vista.
The most important turns your lands come into play untapped are on the early turns, but obviously the untap clause is still a big deal and in the middle between the two is a good aproximation
Card's awesome. Will play. Small- to medium-sized cubes can play this over Wilds/Expanse if you're already playing them, and medium- to large-sized cubes can run this in addition to.
Love this. I’d happily run 4 more functional reprints of this card alongside barrens, expanse, wilds, and vista. I’d loooove to not have to run Vivids.
I don't think this one will be that expensive, at least not compared to Prismatic Vista. For a large part of the game, specifically in the early game when mana fixing is a bit more important, this is just Evolving Wilds. This just doesn't suffer from CIPT in the late-game.
If I had to guess I'd say this lands (no pun intended) around $8.00 - $10.00.
Just as I cut Terramorphic Expanse for Prismatic Vista, I'll definitely run this over its twin Evolving Wilds.
My Wilds and Expande has already been replaced by Ash Barrens and Prismatic Vista. No more soace for my 450. But if I were to add a next land this would be it.

Think this is better than Ash Barrens, considering Crucible of Worlds

Agree. I'm either cutting Ash Barrens or Undiscovered Paradise.
I will always play any sort of 5c land without big downsides. People cutting evolving wilds for this are doing it wrong, just play all the variants they're some of the best lands in cube.

I think it may depend on the size of your cube. I've already had to cut Evolving Wilds, Teramorphic Expanse and City of Brass.
Consider the lands that I'm running at 360 powered - excluding the fetches, duals and shock dual lands that take up guild slots:
I don't blame anybody for cutting Expanse / Wilds from small cubes, space is just too tight. There's plenty of mana fixing in smaller cubes without those.
Even without Crucible, Wasteland is strong inclusion in any sized cube with a good amount of non-basics. Especially in powered cubes where there needs to be things to keep Library of Alexendria / Tolarian Academy / Mishra's Workshop / etc in check.
I missed Workshop in that list, so you have a good point. I'm less into Wasteland in cubes without broken lands like those, or dedicated ways reuse the effect. I'm actually on the verge of cutting Strip Mine from my cube. I've found it's power greatly reduced since I cut broken lands and significantly tightened my curve.
Slam dunk. Strictly better Evolving Wilds / Terramorphic Expanse that kind of meets Prismatic Vista in the middle.

Almost certainly
Fixing in upcoming standard is quite bad, and this card can go in almost any deck.

Ok, cutting City of Brass is pretty questionable, but the deck thinning, shuffle effect and extra targets for Wrenn and Six, Crucible of Worlds and Life from the Loam are welcome.

Which of these lands would you cut for Evolving Wilds? My swap for Fabled Passage is probably going to be Ash Barrens, Mishra's Workshop or Mana Confluence. The other lands are really uncuttable.
