These uncommon bounce lands from Visions are commonly called Karoo lands after the white land from the cycle. All lands of the cycle add M, where M is a color of mana. However, when it came in to play, an untapped land with the corresponding basic land type had to be returned to its owner's hand, or the Karoo land must be sacrificed. Each of these rare nonbasic dual lands has two basic land types and a static replacement ability, from which these cards derive their collective nickname 'shock lands', that causes each to enter the battlefield tapped unless its controller pays 2 life. The name 'shock land' is a reference to the card Shock, though there are technical.
The shock lands (or shocklands) are a 10-card cycle of dual lands that were introduced in the Ravnica block. They have been reprinted in the Return to Ravnica block[1][2][3][4] and the Guilds of Ravnica block.[5][6][7]

Description[edit | edit source]
Each of these rare nonbasic dual lands has two basic land types and a static replacement ability, from which these cards derive their collective nickname 'shock lands', that causes each to enter the battlefield tapped unless its controller pays 2 life. The name 'shock land' is a reference to the card Shock, though there are technical and sometimes significant differences between shock lands' life loss and Shock's damage.

History[edit | edit source]
As shock lands, like the original dual lands, have basic land types, they were and are often used in combination with fetch lands, where available. Due to this, they form an integral part of most decks in the modern format, whereas in Legacy the original duals take their place.
Stomping Ground in particular was much sought-after, since it and a Kird Ape in one's opening hand meant a first-turn 2/3 creature. Loam Lion can also be a first-turn 2/3 creature with Temple Garden. Wild Nacatl can be a first-turn 2/2 creature with Stomping Ground or Temple Garden.

As part of the launch event for the R7 and R7 Plus handsets, held today, Oppo also officially unveiled the latest version of its own Color OS. This next major update is based on Android Lollipop and aims to bring Google's improved experience to the company's device line.
But, while the OS is being showcased alongside Oppo's brand new devices, a beta build already exists for the Oppo Find 7 and 7a, so we already have a pretty good idea as to what is has to offer.
The most apparent changes to Color OS are to the UI. The new Lollipop base has inspired a move to a new, flatter and simpler design. The design has also become brighter and a lot more dynamic. Icons have been redesigned as well. This includes the system apps, as well as custom icons for about 200 popular apps, so, you can expect a uniform look and feel across the launcher.
But Color OS 2.1 also has a lot more to show than a new prettier interface. Under the hood, the OS has undergone a lot of changes to make it faster and more responsive. Oppo boasts a reduced boot time, from 31 seconds in Color OS 2.0 to just 19 seconds in the new version. The platform is also said to be optimized for faster app launches, as well as several popular third-party applications, which should be a lot more-fluid.
Naturally, both new handsets will run Color OS 2.1 out-of-the-box and we are fairly certain that the aforementioned Find 7 and Find 7a will get the OTA pretty soon. Availability for other Oppo devices is not clear yet, but judging from the company's track record, they should get an equal share of attention.

It is very unfortunate that Oppo people are not trying to satisfy the customers who have purchased thier mobiles in India. My Find 7 is still in Color OS v1.2.9i on top of Android V4.3 which is quite old now in all aspects. I have tried to reach Oppo...
