Gingerbread Cabin

Fabled Passage Design

Is there a reason why "Fabled Passage" doesn't look for basic land types? It would have been more flavorful to be able to look for the specific locales like "Gingerbread Cabin" and "Dwarven Mine" or even "Mistveil Plains" in older sets. My guess is there may have been a concern for older formats gaining access to a painless fetchland, thus driving up the demand for a specific rare out of the gates.

Basic land is a play design decision to limit shenanigans.
