As dumb as it is to print basics as secret lair drops, some of them are pretty neat:     Though, if we're talking pictures of realistic or semi-realistic vistas, I've always been partial of the Peterson Euro land:

If you got like 25 of them in the Lairs instead of 4 it would be worth it.

We should just require that this thread be 100% land art chat from now on because it is way more interesting than the endless churn of WOTC content.

I rarely play blue, but when I do I always use the big-brained astral projection or whatever the hell is going on here Chippy Island If I'm playing blue I want to feel like Fadam's avatar

Richard Wright's original Ravnica basics were by far my favorite of the new-frame lands. So evocative of the plane, but clearly the type they claimed to be.     There are some all-time greats that a lot of people agree on like John Avon's, but these are my personal favorites.

my favorite land isn't actually my own, it's the most expensive and rare card in our group and usually my buddy announces it by saying "guys can you move your beers off the table?"

Captain Invictus posted:I have a bunch of this one, and if there's anywhere I can get the playmat for it that you know of, please let me know, it's my favorite non-unfinity-planet land. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/originalmagicart/johannes-voss-playmat-collection-2023 So yeah the Kickstarter is “closed” but let me tell you: I got my Dog Plains playmat in Voss’s first Kickstarter by emailing the Kickstarter manager of this particular project, just asking them if/when the playmats would go on sale at a regular sales site. They asked if I wanted to go ahead and be added as a late pledge to the Kickstarter. I agreed, paid, and got my playmat at the same time as everyone else during fulfillment. So if you really want it, shoot an email to the KS folks (should be linked somewhere on the project’s KS page that I linked) and ask if you can be added. You should be able to then pay and select the Dog Plains. It’s worth it, the playmat is soooo pretty.

johnny park posted:I dunno, I feel like these are all just the same art with different color tints applied in photoshop lol There were much worse offenders in that sense from Rav. Some of their lands individually were great, but same-y taken together. What I like about Wright's is the composition and attention to Magic's cues to what "makes" a land card look like a specific type. The Plains has the horizon line between the buildings and sky, the Island has the pools and mists, the Swamp feels like a boggy tidal grove, the Mountain is jagged and fiery, the Forest is lush and the trees overwhelm the architecture. From across the table, what they are as a type pops very clearly without the color. That said, I get it. A lot of the later Ravnica lands felt that way to me, as it seems like it's hard to depict multiple biomes whule still getting the requisite skyscrapers in there. I just like these ones best.

Speaking of islands, it's a crime that Jump/Start only came with one themed land per pack, with m20 lands filling out the rest because by right I should have like 30 of the best island instead of 2

The trade off is you lose some of the art with stitched edges, but that’s really only a concern for a custom playmat. They accommodate for a large project like this.
