"Nylea's Presence
1G
Enchant land
When Nylea's Presence enters the battlefield, draw a card.
Enchanted land is every basic land type in addition to its other types."
So at first I thought this was a more-heavily-costed Abundant Growth , but then I re-read the last sentence. Being the other land types doesnt mean it necessarily taps for that mana, does it?
Perhaps this could be of use alongside Chained to the Rocks
in a non-red deck...or maybe in conjunction with Peak Eruption
for (pretty bad) land destruction.
This thing is't any good, is it?
It has a use, but it'll most likely just be for casual decks.

If it's the other land types, yes, it does get to tap for the other colors. It's why my friends all love Prismatic Omen + Fist of Suns .

Ah, okay I was mistaken then. I guess it has a slight better quality than I had first imagined. That being said, Do you think in a world of no buddy lands or abundant growth, but still with ethereal armor and tons more enchantment, we could see this is hexproof decks? I could see selesnya hexproof running these with chained to the rocks.

@ItchiUchiha117 "So what does Avacyn, Angel of Hope cost?" "5" "oh......"

Yep, but more like, "So, what does Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger cost?" "5." "Oh... Shit..." "And the same for the rest of my Praetors." "Alright, cards off the table, I'm flipping it."

My favorite was Quicksilver Amulet into Avacyn, Angel of Hope . Can't even counter that.

Yeah. My friends are Johnnies, through and through. Legendary Eldrazis and Praetors out on turn 4 attacking each other, type of stuff. Someone just needs to make a Bolas deck and the Triad of Evil will be completed.

Spreading Seas sees some play in fish decks, but then again, they have Master of the Pearl Trident and Lord of Atlantis to abuse it, however I can see this getting some use, as at worst it is Abundant Growth , at best it makes Exotic Orchard work, makes all your basic land walks work, as someone said, helps chained to the rocks, and I'm sure plenty of other uses could be found.

The key thing about this card is, "Enchant Land," not "Enchant land you control." That means you can get some kind of combo by enchanting your opponent's land to make your creature with landwalk hit.
It's not great, barely playable, but it has uses.
