There are only 20 DFCs, and there are going to be sixty max given the rest of the Innistrad block, of which only a slim minority change color when flipped.
Look it up, maybe? If you're playing in any kind of event that involves innistrad cards, you should know all of them pretty well anyway... if you're talking about casual, then how about asking the guy next to you "yo, what color is this card?"
Pitfall Trap looks real nice to me. It's a great tempo card, since when are players attacking with multiple creatures in the early turns? Someone attacks with a Goblin Guide, you conveniently get a land, and they lost a goblin guide. Good stuff.
i could see faeries happening alll over again with merfolk it says negate ur spell and get a free dude that can possibly become another free counterspell and dude that is rediculous especially with sleep as a finisher...
Merfolk is already competitive, but A) the bits are rotating out of Standard and Extended is a whole different battlefield, and B) I don't think the deck has room for this. Not that I don't like the card, but I don't think it has it in it to be uber-competitive.
Guys, we have nine planeswalkers in standard that can be played in pretty much any deck (Lorwalkers, Elspeth, Sarkhan (okay, sarkhan sucks, but the point remains), Vengy, and Chandra II). Aren't they allowed one narrow planeswalker? Especially considering there'll be two more in prosper (speculation, but by no means baseless)
Second forest is absolutely beautiful. Forests annoy me because they almost always look the same (you could replace half of them with a green fill effect and no one would notice) but that forest is like my eyes having an orgasm.
Both plains, both mountains, and first island are excellent as well.
Honestly, this card is a little silly. White (who is very good at flyers) can get a 2/2 flyer for WW (Leonin Skyhunter). Adding 1 and making it black (who's middling at best at flyers) gets it... +0/+1, deathtouch, lifelink, and a relevant creature type!? The closest comparison to this is Kelinore Bat, which was just printed. For B instead of 1 and a rarity bump, it gets +0/+2, deathtouch, and lifelink. And being a vampire. I guess this is just a symptom of the Baneslayer complex.
Not to say I don't absolutely love the card. It's my excellent. It's just a bit silly.
Every other planeswalker ability causes card/tempo advantage. THIS DOES THE OPPOSITE. If the -1 ability isn't stupid good, I can guarantee you it will not see play. Even with those of you who like it. Turning any decent card into sorcery speed Flame Javelin isn't worth it. The card isn't terrible, but it isn't worth a 6 mana, 2-3+ card investment. What red deck has cads to pitch on tun 6? This will moe than likely be the last cad in your hand 98% of the time, unless you run Howling mine (And we all know the Mine's issues).
Y'all can quote me on this, and I'll also gladly take a bet on it.
I doubt playing it in RDW is the right move; I'd use her in some kind of two-color control deck, use Jace for CA and Chandra as a finisher/removal. Obviously, we're gonna need the other two abilities before we decide what exactly to do with her, but I bet she's gonna see play (if only because Planeswalkers seem to have some weird 60% success rate; out of the original five Jace, Ajani, and Garruk all see semi-regular play whereas Chandra and Liliana don't, Alara's PWs has Elspeth and Tezz seeing play with a bit of Vengeant, and Sarkhan and Bolas take the sidelines.)

Though of course if your opponent is playing white and you aren't planning around that you're a moron.
Both plains, both mountains, and first island are excellent as well.
Though there's no way I can afford even one of these. Damn, I need a source of income.

Motion seconded. Sustained?

Most likely, Wizards prints lifegain like it's candy 'cause it'll never be really playable beyond Kitchen Finks/Solemn Offering type riders.
