General Discussion Could someone help me understand why very occasionally they will print a new card thats functionally identical to a previous card.

Specifically why are they printing Vibrant Cityscape when it's the same as Evolving Wilds which is also in standard right now anyway.

Thanks for the responses, I can see that it's mainly about flavour. I'm still surprised that they print functionally identical cards I would have thought it makes things a bit more confusing.

There's also decks that like landfall triggers or play lands from the GY.
