End of Life Guy posted:So, if I was some kind of idiot that wanted 25x of each art of each basic, would I need to buy 8 fat packs? You'll probably be able to get singles (lots of singles) of the lands as well, either through Pucatrade or large retailers.

I'm really digging the Dutch angles on these new mountains - it's a pretty simple and effective way of creating a sense of strange majesty, of poo poo getting real in a somewhat unsettling way. They're Michael Bay lands.

Currently full arts are like $1 each? Staying at that price seems like it would ramp EV of a pack past $4 I'd think, since most of them tend to hover around 2-3?

You're talking about Zendikar full-arts which is a really old set whose boosters are no longer being opened. BFZ is going to be opened like crazy, don't expect those full-arts to be anywhere near $1 each.

Making fun of someone just because of their voice is kinda lovely, hth. Maro is a bit of a goofball, but his high energy and ability to communicate pretty well make him a good ambassador for the game.

Each basic land art will be opened once in every 25 packs, which is about the same as your chances of opening a particular uncommon (4% vs 3.75%), so maybe they could be of similar value to large set uncommons. Then again you will also be able to buy a big box that comes with a whole pile of lands so.

Since the full art basics will be in fat packs, I expect them to be worth very, very little. Maybe five to ten cents each until the set is long out of print.

Mark Rosewater sounds like Wallace Shawn if Wallace Shawn were an excitable high school English teacher, and I love him for it.

Mark Rosewater is probably the single most important reason why I can open magic packs today twenty years after my first ice age packs. so he is ok in my book. Also, I have never heard him speak, I'll probably keep it that way.

I plan to keep every full art basic land I open, I figure in about 3-4 years they will be worth at least 50 cents or a dollar each.

Oh my god that's gorgeous Also I get why people don't like listening to MaRo, but I personally have enough experience with less-than-ideal voices that it doesn't bother me much. Comes with working at a university with a lot of international students, I guess. E: Oh my god at the WC the semis are an abzan mirror and the finals are also an abzan mirror. I desperately hope development doesn't think this is a good thing. Jen X fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Aug 30, 2015 |

 I imagine they're all gonna be beautiful. And if I, by some miracle, pull any of them it'll probably be this one. Just my luck with Shocks since the only ones I've pulled are a pair of these and a Stomping Grounds. I'll obviously immediately sleeve it up and trade away one of my RTR ones.

I think Siege Rhino + other cards that are good probably will still be a deck post-rotation.

Didn't see the whole thing, but the delveriest delver mirror that has delvered just occurred on SCG I think. Switch to it from worlds. Each player has a stacked yard, 1 land each in play. Glance back a minute layer, 0 lands in play.
