Badlands, Bayou, Plateau...
You might be asking yourself, "What makes the original Dual Lands so special?" Before we answer that question, let me break down the basics on these fantastic cards. The first cycle of dual-colored lands, or "Duals", were very elegantly designed. No fancy bells-and-whistles, no limitations — Just lands that tapped for two different colors. You could play your Plateau and it wouldn't come into play tapped, cost life to enter untapped, or have any other prerequisites to enter untapped. It was ready to be used for either a red or a white mana the turn it was played.
