I collect John Avon lands! I love all his work, but those lands are something else. Getting to play with Unhinged Lands just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Fingers crossed for more Full Art basics from John Avon in the BFZ set!
I'm a huge fan of tribal themed decks, and I have modern/legacy versions of Goblins, Merfolk, Elves, Faeries, Affinity, D&T (not really tribal, but it still works for me), and I have tried to pick up playsets of all relevant creature cards that would fit into those decks, even if they suck or don't see play.
I've recently started to pick up cards that feel nostalgic to me me for some reason...not even good cards, just cards that bring me back to when I first started to play this game. Call Of The Herd (from odyssey) Heroes' Reunion (from invasion) Elfhame Palace (from invasion) Chatter Of The Squirrel
Etc. Etc.
Just any card with artwork or flavor that use to fill me with wonder really.
Found this interesting thread and hope to bump it.
Recently got back into MTG purely for collecting - planning to sort by artist, and currently starting with Terese Nielsen.
I collect Memnites, promo foil and regular, and in all languages. I think I have around 375-400 or so...I will have to count them again I guess to get an exact number.
EDIT* for some reason it skipped my mind when I typed this the other day...I also collect Angel cards. I try and obtain one of each printing (foil if possible), as well as tokens and cards that produce Angels.
My pet card is Deadhead. I have 136 of them. They used to hang out in the back of my trade binder and people would stare at them. Every once in a while, a local gamer will hand me one and make my day.
I collect anything Chandra related. Maybe I will upload some pictures sometime.
I do the same thing for Liliana. Do you include cards that quote and/or reference Chandra, too? It looks like we'll have a few of the same additions going into our respective collections this set like Furious Reprisal. And I hope that image of Liliana whispering to Chandra is a Diabolic Tutor reprint.
I have a collection of nearly 50 Siege Rhinos, including Non-foil, Pack-foil, Prerelease promo and the clash pack alt art. He's the only card I actively collect

I just got into Magic about 4 months ago, so maybe my mentality is naive, but I'd love to own one of every English card from all core and expansion sets. Do I actually think I'll ever have all of them? No, not really. But the journey has been pretty fun so far. I trade off my duplicates on Pucatrade and I have every needed core/expansion card in my want list (currently over 18,000 cards). I never know what I'll get sent, but I know it'll be something I need.
And I put all of them in binders, including commons, basic lands, and tokens. Organized by set, then collector number. I use 3" 3-ring binders from Office Max with Ultra Pro side-loading 18-pocket sheets (the nice looking black ones). Oh, and I also put each card inside a KMC Perfect Size sleeve before placing it in the binder. So far I have four full binders.
I have a (almost) complete collection of all Orzhov-colored cards in all of M:tG. Hybrid/Gold/Split cards, doens't matter, if it's Black AND White, I have it.
I just need 1 more card: Naughty//Nice (the Holiday Promo Card).
I love seeking for alternative arts, I just love how contrasting are the art style of different artists on the same character/spell, specially if the concept is from a new stablished or "fake" plane, for example, with the new snapcaster mage.

Love to hear what you guys are collecting.

I also try to get every Munda, Ambush Leader I can to rip them up because I misunderstood what it did then realized it was awful after trading for it.
