Learning the Basics of life! (Aka. Basic Lands)
Hello fellow cardsmiths, I've been setting out on a journey to explore the most basic of lands. But I'm having troubles getting funds to fly first class. Can you help us all by posting your basic land cards?
This includes remakes of existing basic lands, but isn't limited to it.
Here are some places we've traveled to, on our journey so far!
Happy smithing everybody!

You can post those basic Mountains you had, here for all to see.
@Everybody @Faiths_Guide
Do you have any basic lands we could explore?
The goal is to make less simple basic lands that fulfill a purpose in deck building.
Would reducing the card text on the last two change your stance a bit? What exactly will sway you?
I really wanted to add "Mine" subtype to Mine, but we shouldn't make Domain cards more powerful.
I was thinking the same thing, but I like to be against the spirit of WotC. >:D
Essentially it creates a mana that can pay for only exactly GU. It cannot pay for only G or only U, and if you try to pay for the colorless part of casting cost, it can only pay 1 of that. This means that if something costs 1G or 1U, it can only pay for the 1 part, not the full cost. What do you guys think?
@fiskerton roughly summed it up. The basic lands are just that, the basics. They are often allowed to be searched for when lands with additional abilities would not, they are supposed to provide one of the 6 types of mana, enter untapped, etc. etc. I think you are just trying to make Land cards not Basic Land cards. Simplicity is of no consequence here.
I will of course gladly post those mountains.
@Corwinnn once made a land named "Teacup Island", then people followed.

While it really shouldn't be a basic (that's the contest's fault not yours), that is a super cool card!
