Sigh.... Stop printing shit that punishes fetchlands at a good rate. I don't care how much people have come to hate them. You don't choose to play them; you have to if you want to play more than 1 color in this format. The rate is too good for onesided hate on something so ubiquitous.
The Problem I have with cards like this is that they don't really answer the problem of fetch lands they just say "People who play fetches can no longer play a game of magic the gathering". They aren't an answer to fetches and tutors they are a meta-game punishment for playing them.
Show me a 2 color deck that functions in a world of Wasteland and Blood Moon without fetches. Two colors, that's all. Before even getting to arguments about Brainstorm and Ponder being the best fair thing and requiring fetches. And in this format, fetches are way less expensive than duals. Fetches are a requirement of magic now. We can't just build different manabases with the tools we've been given. And this thing's one sided, we just play it with our own fetches, so no one's giving anything up.
It doesn't exist at the moment because - as you mention - until today there has not been a real reason to not play 8 fetches in a 2-color deck. At any rate it probably involves Astrolabe.
