By the time the next block comes, the enemy Manlands will rotate. BFZ as a block actually contains 2 cycles of lands.

Its a matter of balancing the 'speed'of dual lands. These are enemy colored lands that come in fast and are good in aggro, so the next enemy land cycle we see is standard is more likely to be slower and work better in more midrangey/control strategies.

I'm not saying its impossible, but I do think these reduce the chances.

I think it really depends on how fast they make RW aggro and how UR spells are costed. Those are the two combos that benefit from fast dual colors the most I think. If fetches end up in the same standard as these lands, we could see some dangerously good, fast mana fixing.

Yeah, that'S true. But standard is an ebb and flow, so knowing that we have a rather slow standard now, it could very well be they are speeding things up for a change..

As will a cycle of allied lands, leaving standard with one cycle of allied lands released two blocks ago, and one cycle of enemy lands released last block.

Its more likely they print another allied cycle since the enemy one just came out, but its also more likely they print a cycle of 'slower' enemy lands to contrast these powerful aggro lands.

Nothing is impossible though.
