Card/Deck Broken cards for lower power

But for Field you need seven (!) lands with different names. Getting those into a deck is a challenge already (especially if you, like me, have almost half your fixing be Prismatic Vista). And since you will only have one Field of the Dead ever, you aren't going crazy with zombies either. A few 2/2s in the late game don't seem super relevant tbh.

I am not even sure the card would be playable in my cube. Is it even as good as Zendikar's Roil? I am not convinced.
 
The issue with cards like Field is that the gap between them being playable and them being broken is really narrow, and people are going to be disappointed if they drafted the card because of its reputation as a crazy powerful card and just got a zombie or two out of it.
 


If you're doing this, you probably deserve every zombie, even in fair cubes, right?

I don't find Field to be an egregious inclusion. Like you said, you include a suite of Vista's as your primary source of recursive, strong fixing. Your Loam / Dredge support for 660 doesn't seem so omnipresent that Field would easily come online, and Temur <-> Rainbow strategies would just earn a new potential finisher in the form of a Land that is very flavorful and interesting.

If you over-supported land-focused hyper-ramp / land-recursion I would probably recommend to stay away from it, but those 2 strategies seem really balanced in your list.
