Hello! Please see attached screenshot: opponent targeted one of my non-basic lands with Boseiju ability so I answered Yes to search for a basic land.

I wanted to pick up my 1x copy of Wastes but the game client did not allowed me to do that. You can see the Wastes is the second to last card (bottom right corner) and it's currently greyed out, unavailable.

Despite being labeled as a Basic Land, Wastes has rarely (if ever) performed like one. It isn't counted as a Basic Land by Stratadon, Manaforce Mace and the like, and I'm not even sure you can fetch one with Terramorphic Expanse et al. (I've never tried.) So "Waste" is a very good name for it, IMO.

"That player may search their library for a land card with a basic land type" wastes has no basic type so not a bug. Same thing with stratadon and manaforce mace.

It's Type IS Basic Land. It has no Subtype. But yeah, that's probably their reasoning.
