Turbulent Springs — ruling 1

Unlike some other dual lands, Turbulent Springs has two basic land types. It's not basic, so effects that search for basic lands can't find it, but it does have the appropriate land types for effects such as that of Frostboil Snarl (included in the Secrets of Strixhaven Commander decks).

Turbulent Springs — ruling 2

If this land enters the battlefield at the same time as any number of lands your opponents control, those other lands are not counted when determining if this land enters the battlefield tapped or untapped.
