Basics Lands and Pimping

[Arsenal]

I like the Euro amd APAC lands myself. Also have a soft spot for the 2003 Arena lands drawn by Rob Alexander.

I currently am saving for the last 1 island from summer, as well as a summer forest. (Run 2 islands and 1 mountain currently, also summer).

I have a misscut, MMQ forest as well as a miscut MMQ island, until the last one comes... Stupid increase in money for summer-lands. Didn't expect that, a few years ago...

EURO basics are my go-to.

I run all whiteboarded lands when I can manage it. My fish deck is full revised lands. Looks nice like that.

In my elves I am a total ass hole. I run FTV Dryads by 2 and foil Avacyn Restored forests. The funny thing is, when I played at a ptq with the deck, I got no complaints (I keep them apart in the table) what I got was a bunch of people wanting to buy them...

With the way some recent cards have jumped up in price (Liliana of the Veil, Snapcaster Mage, e.d.) I am getting more and more tempted to just open boxes and sell singles like that. The amount of money that you can pull from a box is increasing too, if you can hold on to the right cards for a while. At what point will purchasing packs turn into paying money to buy more money? Should RSVP go up like we saw with Modern Masters?

[rarehunter]

My current basics are Unhinged Foils for ANT and Foil German snow covered for Modern storm. Outside of those I also really like select older arts as well. not sucha fan of Zendikar lands. Stormy Saga Island is clearly the best though. Sadly isn't foil though.

[Aesir]

I prefer APAC lands myself. Specifically this one: http://magiccards.info/scans/en/apac/2.jpg

I just picked up some Korean Tempest/Saga ones off of Alphastryk for deadguy. Not sure if I wanna keep those or pick up betas at some point.

[QKisMyName]

My choice of basics:



Also, I can't stand Guru lands. I you care about rarity and/or price, go with Summer. If you care about aesthetics, go with Euro/APAC or one of the many other sets with great art. Guru just seems like some bastard hybridization between the two.

Summer lands are definitely where it's at.

Then you'll appreciate my next pimp post ;)

Alright, I'll admit it, even as a beta/German FBB kind of guy, I found a handful of forgotten Tempest while clearing the chaff out of my collection. My old plebeian self didn't think much of them, but damn have they grown on me.

And apparently, foreign Tempest lands are hard as hell to find. And being picky about the art only helps, damn you old german/sometimeschinese-korean cards!

[JohnGalt]

Alpha.

[Kathal]

Foil/Extended Art from the Odyssey lands. They have so beautiful artworks.

It's gotta be old boarder. First choice is Guru - preferably signed. Then Alpha/Beta. Also love the Euro and Apac lands.

Foil Lorwyn Swamp 291 is my all time favorite swamp. Not technically the pimpest, but a gorgeous card.

Foil Lorwyn Swamp 291 is my all time favorite swamp. Not technically the pimpest, but a gorgeous card.

I really like lorwyn basics.

but for pimping, I prefer Summer, miscut non-foil, asian/european lands and Alpha/beta.

I just dislike digital art like unhinged basics or foil cards...
