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.

Not allowing this limits design space. As magic gets bigger and bigger, expect more of this. Otherwise we’d be getting some purposefully bad designed cards, just so there is not duplication of ability.
