Extremely rare. The most common miscut lands are from revised for some strange reason and I stay away from those.
Re: Basics Lands and Pimping
Signed Korean 4th with the beta picture Islands, signed Korean tempest Plains, Korean 4th Mountain, Korean 4th swamps, forests are bad. (but I do have like 30 Korean saga ones I should do something with).

Give some of those forests to me. That's the best basic land in the format

Also these:

I've heard rumours of other basic lands than Forests and Plains, but I don't consider them true. Except maybe for the Beta Mountains. They might exist. They at least should exist.
Re: Basics Lands and Pimping
I generally use starter 1999, this is mainly because I have play sets of each type signed. How ever I have a deck that I run just one basic in and that's a signed and altered alpha island, (altered by Poole in acrylic). If I could swing it I would go completely that way or full summer.
Re: Basics Lands and Pimping
Unhinged foil, always, sad they are getting more expensive.
Re: Basics Lands and Pimping
Re: Basics Lands and Pimping
I can get behind those portal lands. Need german ones. Also artist of forest is dead.
Re: Basics Lands and Pimping
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.
Re: Basics Lands and Pimping
large mana symbol discourages me from GURU, so A/B ... the Beta island and some "dark beta" swamp, I don't need more yet

Re: Basics Lands and Pimping
Gave away all of my Portal 2 lands for a buck a piece, and never got anything back from the guy :/

I love that island. Its one of my fav pics of all time for an island. The miscut is sick on it too
Re: Basics Lands and Pimping
German Foil Invasion Forest.
I will accept Betas as well.

Not Koby but I'm also a Korean 4th ed. basic land whore. If I could find 4th edition korean islands and I could pay $4-$5 each I would consider myself to have gotten a good deal.

Yup. The Island Koby posted is just the best. I think I'm up to 12 now but they are hard to find.

I've actually taken a shine to this island - http://magiccards.info/be/en/284.html. The colours are very crisp on the card.

Yeah. I picked this one up recently as I liked the pic:

Card went into the cornering cutter at the wrong angle (and was cut at a wrong angle), hence the way it looks. I have some other misprints of this island too.
That abu island (silhouette) up there is one of my favourites too, will share some of the nice pieces I have of that island sometime.
