I was debating trying this either in general or in the Market Forums, but given reasons can vary from person to person this feels like the best place to try this idea out!
So, the idea behind the weekly pick ups thread is to just post what you picked up this week and the reasons why. For example, if you're just picking up to add to your cube or collection make a mention of it. This is less about "what should I pick up because it's good financial sense" and more about "I picked it up because I'm excited for this card, building a deck, adding to my collection, etc".
So to list up my pick ups for this week, I sort of got into elves and was trying to get my goal of "have a playset of every known rare land cycle" underway again after a long hiatus. Not sure if I'm going to remember exactly what was this weeks pick ups since some of the stuff might be the prior week, but here it goes!
4x Graven Cairns from Shadowmoor. I like the artwork.
4x Fetid Heath from Masters 25
5x Twilight Mire from Masters 25 because I miscounted and didn't realize I ordered one from ebay. Oops...
4x Copperline Gorge from Scars of Mirrodin (like this card and it's hard to find as well)
4x Verdant Catacombs (Goal Achieved: Unlock Abzan and Jund Mana!)
4x promo Wren's Run Vanquisher. Got to love the artwork.
And now for all the other stuff that is penny stock funsies
4x foily Mothdust Changeling, because it's the swiss army knife one drops.
4x Changeling Berserker. No idea why, just thought it looked cool.
1x Mournwillow foil.
3x Ishkanah, Grafwidow to complete a playset.
1x Loxodon Smiter. I needed something to help fill out the TCGPlayer cart.
1x foil Wirewood Symbiote from eternal masters due to artwork.
1x Cairn Wanderer for the commander box.
1x Wolfbriar elemental as another filler for the TCGPlayer box.
1x Shapesharer. I think this was for Yuriko.
2x World Shaper because this is seriously one under valued card.
1x Inexorable Blob... Blobs are happiness. Blobs are love. Blob also filler for commander deck.
Edit: Pickups that were forgotten about.
1x Blanket of Night from visions. I just thought the effect is kind of unique.
3x Sacred Ground. I hope ponza likes my hard counter.
4x Ashes of the Fallen. This is a fun one since it can combo with the new Liliana to basically go infinite like a lower CMC Arcane Adaptation.
1x Aetherspouts for commander.
1x Ugin's Nexus. Just felt like I was missing out on something.
4x Gigantosaurus. Seems good for devotion or hardcore mono green.
1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
Oh, this was meant for people to post their pick ups. I was figuring trying a weekly pick up thread might be interesting on the forum.

Teferi because he's a house. Going to try him in my UWR deck alongside JTMS.
For Opt, I already own a set but really like the look of the promo version so I had to get it.
I do like the new opt over the ixalan one.
