I knew the X mana symbol question meant you were getting close.

Ulxiz wins with ε' points.

Since this was a weird one, I just wanted to highlight a couple of interesting questions.

p' Yes, it is in the Shadowmoor block. <- Obviously whatever you suggested here would work...
o' No, it is not common or uncommon. <- Technically, basic lands have been commons previously, but not in Shadowmoor where they get their 'basic land' rarity, so I had to go with that.
μ' No, it was not illustrated by Rob Brown. <-- I was really hoping he had drawn an Island somewhere because that would have confused you like mad. Too bad A sad 'frowny'
ι' No, it is not named Ward of Bones. <-- At this point I knew the confusion had hit, but I also knew that you would twig once I answered this lot.

n' Yes, it has a Blue mana symbol in the text box. <-- Ah... This was interesting. Does a watermark count as a blue mana symbol? Had you phrased it a different way (rules text) then I would have had to draw on the rules which say Basic Lands are assumed to contain the text Tap symbol, add [mana symbol] to your mana pool. In both cases, previous versions have had it on the card, but not in Shadowmoor. Both of these are slightly ambiguous, but I went with the spirit of the question.
