These lands are going to be rough. They are probably best for splashing a 3rd color in a 2 color deck and true 3 color decks are gonna be very hard to play. And I'm more apt to try to play 3 colors with evolving wilds and the battle lands than these anyway.

card seems awful

It probably is awful to be honest. If the ability was free and it wasn't restricted to once a turn, it would probably still be bad but at least it would have a chance. Just like most cards, you would prefer the card do something by itself first.

Yeah... odds are this is going to be a two color standard. 3 could happen still, just the odds don't look great at the moment.

Also it seems interesting on the two color front as well though. Enemy colors get what... a painland and a tapped land? Seems like a major downgrade from handlands and battlelands.

You can at least use it in your turn and the opponents, I'm not sure how often you'd be looking to discard a card like that anyway. With good Madness support it might be good against aggro.

Also, yay for good art depicting Olivia!

At the very worst it turns dead draws into creatures for cheap, which isn't that bad of a card.

Turning every card in your deck into a split card where one side is a 1/1 with lifelink, flash and a potentially relevant creature type for 1 seems pretty decent in limited to me. Being in a set with Delirium and Madness definitely doesn't hurt either.

Totally forgot about manlands. That does make a huge difference.

BW is the most obvious color pair to start the next standard with. It's already pretty good and it's not losing any of it's mana fixing.

So the allied manabase ends up like a worse version of checks + shocks. You could probably run 3 color but you'd have lands coming into play tapped a fair amount of the time. The new lands do make Evolving Wilds a bit awkward.

Eh, terrible based on what? Previous standard? Terrible playstyle?

I had a lot of this deck in my local meta and for as silly as this deck might seem, it definitely wasn't terrible. Kozi's return is a great card and turn 4/5 worldbreakers happened pretty consistently. It though, like a lot of decks, just didn't beat rally consistently.

It could very well continue to be a 1.5 tier deck in the next standard, but there is a lot to be said about a competitive deck that doesn't lose any its cards after a major rotation.

It's just SUPER high variance and has too many 25-75 matchups.

e: the main upside of ramp is that it bodies midrange decks, which is a lot of the format

Rally, any aggressive build of Jeskai, any aggressive red deck, Bant and 4c Comapny. It was good against the controlling versions of Jeskai Black and against Abzan decks but those aren't really in the format now other than Mardu Green.

Ugin will become less legal going into SoI anyway, if that was a stumbling block for RG Ramp.

Of the spoiled cards, though, none of them really ramp or need to be ramped into. Arlinn is a big bonus for anything GR but she's midrangey rather than rampy.

I actually think that Devil's less than great in a burn deck or an aggro deck, having a 2/3rds chance of dealing ~2 damage on upkeep is a pretty mediocre rate, but the body's solidly aggressive.

Honestly, you're rolling a dice every upkeep and on a 1-4 your opponent gives you whichever option you want least. I think I'll pass.

E: on the other hand if a 3/2 menace is a playable body in whatever deck then the ability is just gravy, but if it's getting played, its for the body primarily.
