**Only <c>Graven Cairns</c> took its place in another land cycle, that in ''[[Shadowmoor]]''.
**<c>Horizon Canopy</c> inspired the [[Pain land#Horizon land|horizon Lands]], but the cycle there was enemy-colored, and so it stands as the sixth member.
**The others have some design issues. <c>River of Tears</c> is asymmetrical, which is difficult to complete and often difficult to parse. <c>Grove of the Burnwillows</c> has costs that typically affect color pairs differently, and also contributed to <c>Punishing Fire</c>'s ban in Modern. <c>Nimbus Maze</c> is generally too weak to play in multiples with any non-typed land, but as such has the best odds.
