#PLANESHIFT LAIR LANDS ARCHIVE#

When it comes to bouncelands, you have a really good option, and a less-than-stellar one-there's no middle ground.

Taps for 2mana/2colors, doesn't have to return an untapped land, but I wouldn't play them in a cube without LD or some sort of hate like Plow Under. Ravnica bounces however, are the best of both worlds. They also require to bounce an untapped land, so you're really only playing them for the card advantage aspect of tapping for 2, and making sure you don't miss a land drop. They don't even tap for 2 colors, so I don't even see them as mana fixing options. You can play the Lair, choose not to bounce, tap it for mana in response to the sacrifice trigger-doesn't seem appealing to me. Another thing is they can act as a 3-color Lotus Petal. If you had a major landfall theme going then it might be of use, but other then that I don't see it. It's still card disadvantage if you float mana and bounce it with the lair because you set your development a turn behind for some fixing. I don't see much benefit in playing with the Lairs.
