Heres a quick breakdown of some key strengths that set this cycle of lands apart from others: Each Triome can be searched for by 9 different fetchlands like Flooded Strand (Dual lands with basic land types can only be found by 7, and lands like Arcane Sanctum cant be found by any) Cards like Natures Lore can effectively ramp you into 3 colors of mana instead of 2 Triomes are going to be readily available and can be reprinted (Original dual lands are part of the Reserved List, so no new copies will ever be printed as long as it stands) Cycling is very relevant when you are flooded with mana and would rather trade your land for another draw to either close the game or recover from an unfavorable board state If you have a complete collection of lands to choose from, the Triomes will probably only see intermittent use in your 3 or 4 color decks
