It first appeared in January of 2016 so very recent. And by the looks of things it's really confusing people. That will have an effect on many decks I think.
Yes. this type of card is going to be a pain in the ass, and really, you don't want to include land cards with that symbol UNLESS you have other cards that are dependent on that particular symbol for either mana cost, or activation costs. My Eldrazzi deck comes to mind. I have several cards in there that use that symbol, therefore, I had to include land cards with that same symbol. Also, I have creature cards that allow me to tap the creature for mana of that symbol, so that I can use it for a different permanent's abilities.
