500 Magic: The Gathering Basic Lands - 100 of Each Land Type (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, Forests)

Product Information

Ravnica I also found a little jarring at the time of release like Mirrodin with these basic lands that didn't look like any others and didn't seem to fit in well when mixing and matching. The soft focus and swirls of cloud let us know we’re in a magical place, while the red flowers contrast with the deep blues in the sky to brighten up an otherwise cloudy moor. I am a big fan of these lands and rate it very highly as far as sets of lands rather than individual art.

If you like foil basics, then the War of the Spark Swamp by Richard Wright might be the one for you.

There is a nice flavour in these lands with a before and after for each of three locations per land type. Inspired by the good work of Rhystic Studies I wanted to try and do an article on the aesthetic of the game (although mostly I just made a list). The Crimson Vow bundles actually came with a bunch of these lands in foil and non foil, which makes getting a thematic manabase together is pretty easy. I would love to know how much mana these lands have tapped for under my ownership, it would be a lot of mana! I loved putting together this list as it exposed me to some new artists that I might commission soon.

We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.The tempest lands on the other hand are highly stylized and showcase Rath, a first as previous lands either had no specific plane or were Dominaria based. While the lands don't have any special abilities, they let players express flavor without deviating from their standard colors. I have no intention to collect the Secret Lair cards in the same way as the other lands, I just don't want to commit to something so open. Masques lands I don't love, they feel like they lack cohesion, they don't take me to a place or give me a good idea of what it is about.

I like the art but I dislike the asymmetry and would rather a more even spread, especially given how few lands we have from some of those planes. An Arena promo set had been released every year from the first offerings in Mirage but until this one they all had reprints of old art on them just in foil. You can see these are so cut off that you can see another card on the left-hand side bleeding into them. The final set of Arena lands added to the 20 basic lands from Ravnica, again found under the Ravnica set basics. I feel like Magic artists are made to refrain from having other land’s colors in the art, or they just do so by choice, and I love that about this land.I am rather undecided on Ixalan lands on the whole, I love the exotic lush feel of them however I do not know what I think about the more CGI look some of them have.

But for a semi-official set that debuted back in 2004, it offered immersive full-arts that still hold up today. So I started a thread in some Pokemon forum, stating that TPCi, or the pokemon company international, should start adding some basic energies into some of their many box sets, or compilation packs that they release every year, and they do release 12. That lack of color is also a critique by some players because it makes them harder to discern when among other similar basics of other colors. The 3rd row are another set of lands set on the Battlebond plane although these are the Version 2 MagicFest Promo lands.The MPS series already contained some cards but they were all just reprints of Ravnica lands up till this point. M10 came out just after Alara and so if I was doing this pile of cards from earliest point of release then it would be before all the Zendikar stuff. These basics featured beautiful art for each basic and were presented in a framing style not yet present in Magic. Different planes on some as these are to go with the homeworlds of the planewalkers featured in the sets.
