I may be a bit rusty, but when it gains a basic land type, I believe it loses its ability to become a new land type. I might suggest:

[indent]Painted Landscape becomes the basic land type of your choice instead of its other types and gains this ability.[/indent]

Not really, it doesn't lose its ability. It's like Mystic Compass , I kinda like it.

212.6h If an effect changes a land's subtype to one or more of the basic land types, the land no longer has its old land type. It loses all abilities generated from its rules text and its old land types, and it gains the appropriate mana ability for each new basic land type. Note that this doesn't remove any abilities that were granted to the land by other effects. Changing a land's subtype doesn't add or remove any card types (such as creature) or supertypes (such as basic, legendary, and snow) the land may have. If a land gains one or more land types in addition to its own, it keeps its land types and rules text, and it gains the new land types and mana abilities.

This is the rule.

The "instead of its other types" part isn't necessary.

I believe this was being avoided. correct me if I'm wrong, Libe.

Correct. That's why I kept the "... and gains this ability" part.
