Howabout "those terrible lands that replaced the painlands"
Meh... I'm still trying to unload the painlands I've got.

What about those wierd lair lands from Planeshift, were they called Dragon lands or lair lands or something?
I'm just thinking that it probably won't catch on... Meh... Just hope that it's not corny.

They're called lairs because it's an actual subtype they have.
Before they were errata'd to include the "lair" part above the text box, they'd say things like...
"Darigaaz's Caldera is a Lair in addition to its land type."
Since these are, for all intents and purposes, dual lands, I suspect that they'll simply be referred to as "the new dual lands" or "the Ravnica dual lands" or something. I mean, Onslaught introduced a new (and better) type of fetchland, and I've usually seen them referred to as "Onslaught fetchlands."

I think any land that touts itself as both one kind of land AND another; like Forest and Mountain, then it should be called/refered to as a "Dual Land" but none others. So, until Ravinca lands are in our hands, there are only the original 10 Duals out there.

Until Black Lotus is in my hands, I refuse to acknowledge the existence of the fabled "power nine." Wait, I've had a Black Lotus in my hands before...Killer Joe said:So, until Ravinca lands are in our hands, there are only the original 10 Duals out there.
Okay, until Time Walk is in my hands...

Shockland sounds good to me. It tells you what it does.

yeah... but... how will pricing be on these new lands? I mean... will they be $5 to $16 a piece?
And thanks for reminding me that I have to find another 6x9 promo Black Lotus for a friend in Georgia... I wonder if Mr.P is still alive....

They deal two red tamage to a targeted creature or player when you get mana? I thought they had a cost to pay to prevent the come-into-play-tapped effect...Gizmo said:

Well... another one that won't work is:Gizmo said:
Those d*** lands that are ment to replace dualies but are crappy knockoffs of them - lost count after 10 syllables due to disinterest
crazy thing is, these things will probably go up to about $5 a piece, while your pained lands get the $3 deal.
Eh... if you guys are lookin' for crap rares, lemme know... I know a place that sells stuff like that for $1-3 a piece...
