I am a bit of a land fanatic. I used foil lands and Unhinged Lands for years. They I just moved on to using Unhinged Lands. I had around 5 Guru Lands that I had not used since 1996. I just started using them in sleeves of course just 2 years ago and have since bought 11 more Guru Lands (4 Island, 2 Plains, 4 Swamp, 2 Mountain, 7 Forest).
I have recently become tired of those and moved on to Portal lands. The next step for me is Portal 3K, but it's so hard to buy many that match. I also really like Mirage lands and it's only a matter of time before I move on to those as well. (Funny thing is that I liked those even when they were printed, but didn't want to admit it since Beta lands were the "in thing.")

Yeah I think I've a stack of revised lands - which is the dirt cheap, ugly white bordered (If you're into that sort of thing), from a buddy who bought a collection at a yard sale lol. The oldschool OG style of lands was a phase of mine a few years ago.
I'm stuck in my old school style so it probably won't change any time soon. I also prefer to get the original version of any card (I consider Alpha/Beta to be the same) for my decks.
One of my most absolutely favorite mountains is Rob Alexander's. Looking at it I always think, "What lies inside that dungeon entrance?" What dragon's hoard is there? What barbarians live there? I love the mystery of the piece and the haunting visage of the empty black maw of the opening.
I also prefer to fit the lands to the flavor of the deck, but I have a few favorites.
This Plains has to go in almost every white deck of mine:
And I really like the Mirage-panorama:
For Islands I love the Mirage ones, especially those two:
Swamps I prefer the Portal: Second Age ones and this one from mirage:
Mountains are too much to show them all, but there is this one, I rarely see and I think is gorgeous:
And of course Forests, there are so many of really nice forests. I can't decide for a favourite one. If I can remember a special one, I will post it.
Edit: How could I forget my most favourite Forest in Magic?
In general I prefer lands with creatures on it. That's also the reason, why I like the Mirage Plains so much, that and because Panorama.
Just bit the bullet and bought a bunch of Mirage lands. I always liked those lands, but at the time of Mirage, I HAD to play my Beta lands. Now, many years later, I can appreciate them. Not to mention, I got bored of many lands already...

For forests I use
For Islands I use the
Mountains I want to get all but I only have one, otherwise I use Foil
For plains I use either Euro or APAC ones I like most of the plains art (only one I don't use is Steppe Tundra) and foils of
Swamps I don't really use and I haven't found one worth getting though the APAC one is up there.

Cool, where are the first three lands from? The Island is interesting what with the little ship on it.

For Modern I like Noah Bradley's. I try to scoop up foils of these whenever I see them available.
Also like this one from Theros that seems to go well with the Origins Mountain...

Want to play a UW control deck in modern, but don't have jace or snaps?
Please come visit us at the Emeria Titan control thread
Do you have a pathological need to ruin jokes, or are you just an ********?
Go ahead and flag it, I got points to spare.
: They are very thematic and symmetrical with each other.
Been sniping foils of these wherever I can.

I have foiled out my Forests in my Ruric Thar deck with this art, I just like the simplification.
https://magiccards.info/akh/en/266.html
This mountain full art is my foil basic mountains in my Ruric Thar deck, to match with the forest.
Some other non full-art basics I liked the most:
Most favorite swamp art
https://magiccards.info/ths/en/241.html
mountain art
https://magiccards.info/ths/en/245.html
forest art
https://magiccards.info/m10/en/246.html
island art
https://magiccards.info/ths/en/237.html
Plains art (hard to pick, probably Guay's art)
https://magiccards.info/c16/en/337.html
I also like the Commander 2016 basics, they're nice and easy to find.
