> is Venice an island or is every block in Venice an island? Is Venice an archipelago?
Fun fact: Venice is, in fact, an island, and every block in venice is an island, and venice is an archipelago: https://maps.app.goo.gl/TfbkNvrLU55E9n9KA
They are awesome cards, but they're not islands. I think ultimately Richard Garfield made a mistake calling the blue basic land "Island", instead of something a bit more general involving water. But it seems like WotC's art department decided to pretend he did anyway, and so we get these cards called "Island" even though they're not. Which is funny to notice, but doesn't actually affect anything, so that seems like the right solution.

I agree that was a weird complaint—yes, Venice is definitely an archipelago. I guess when you're on a rant, sometimes you overstep.
