EDIT: and Forbidden Orchard. So I guess there may be 10 one-of cool lands as expeditions?

I can dig it, beats a distant third most appealing cycle. Unless there's 5 one-ofs and a cycle, since I doubt they will all generate all colours or colourless. Although they can probably get a fair way with EDH staples like Reliquary Tower. I don't know how stuff like City of Brass or Karakas could be made to work on Zendikar, but maybe Mana Confluence, depending on how diverse they want them to be?

Would the LGS as it currently exists even be possible without the MtG secondary market?

Probably. My LGS around 2-3 magic events every week and has huge rooms for war hammer, armada and x-wang and whatever other bullshit people want to play. They make a majority of their money off of comics, manga and graphic novels. I always thought it was Magic but the owner laughed and said Magic was good for making the store look busy and bringing us in to buy packs, sleeves and cases.

They also have a L1 judge as their full time event coordinator who is full time staff.malthiugh on days nothing is scheduled that needs a person to oversee she works in the store like a normal employee.

Ancient tomb, forbidden orchard and urzatron makes a nice round five.

I wonder if this kind of special foil card injected into sets may become a more regular thing. Probably reserved to boost sales of sets that are obviously poo poo.

Oh god. You might as well scoop to whoever gets this in their limited pool with any decent Eldrazi.
So, let's see. If they're doing one-of's for the 10 outside the filter lands that are "generic" enough sounding, that means we can spec on:
Wasteland
Karakas
Diamond Valley
Horizon Canopy
Grove of the Burnwillows
City of Traitors (could be named for wherever Ayla hangs out :unsmigghh: )
Cavern of Souls
Academy Ruins
Cabal Coffers (maybe?)
Dryad Arbor? (Are there Dryads on Zendikar?)
Dust Bowl
River of Tears
Deserted Temple
Kor Haven
Gemstone Mine
Thawing Glaciers?
Mana Confluence
Strip Mine
Reflecting Pool

If Tomb is 36 and Orchard is 39, only 2 things can be between A and F.

I hope this isn't their only plan to get "aggressive" with reprints now that core sets are gone the way if banding.

It might be fun to show this to someone and ask how many corpses are in the art and see how many people answer correctly.

In fact maybe if Wizards had done that as part of their focus testing they might have realized how terrible the frames are.

I think Gemstone mine is fairly good for reprint. It gets played, is modern legal, its a land that has a drawback (you use it 'up') and isn't one of the ones that everyone keeps begging/pleading for.

The fact that we know there are 3 enemy manlands in Oath would make it unlikely. I also don't think they'll be in SOI because then there would be three enemy-coloured land cycles to one allied.

Anyway, how good are they going to be when the fetches rotate? Maybe the enemy colours will turn up 2 blocks away from the enemy fetch reprints

We don't and I'd bet against it. It is more likely they finish the enemy manland cycle with the other 3 colors in Oath. Given that, plus we've seen Mirrorpool, that is 4 rare/mythiic lands. I'm not certain what small sets have but 8+ seems unlikely? Looking back through small sets, the only small set with more than 4 rare/mythic lands in it is, Worldwake the second small set in the previous lands block.
