Any thought on that the lack of land destruction means expensive cards that would in past formats be unplayable become staples due to their more powerful effects and by default makes ramp (even temporary like treasures) the key to leveraging these powerful effects and land with useful abilities? Formats with decks built around cards like Aetherworks marvel, Fires of Invention, Wilderness Reclamation, Field of the Dead which can leverage more powerful expensive spells earlier seem to show a gap in development understanding of unintended consequences, any thoughts on that?

There’s an alternate world where decks that keep players from ever playing cards exist and Magic is way lower on net fun. Also, when asking questions of the people that make a game, why not assume that they might know things you don’t rather than presume they’re making mistakes?

Desert lover here, I can forgive the Field of the Dead not being a desert thing if you can give me a maybe on getting more deserts at all eventually :)

I do believe we’ll have deserts matter again.
