I've honestly never really looked at land cards. I just throw them in and tap them for mana...I do like the Zendikar lands, but only because they are full frame, not because any of them are pretty.
The pimpest lands are the zendikar john avon lands. Foiled out those lands just shine and i have them in all of my decks. I love those lands. I also love the unglued and unhinged lands

Destroy target permanent with a Z in its name. I'm the Z zapper. I zap Z's. I really don't like Z's. I just don't. I mean, who needs them? Z's. pfffft.
Yup, I'm online at all hours, I'm an insomniac, what of it?
I collect basic land promos and prefer the non-foils over foils. I'm aiming for minimum of three of each pic and for some of my favourites, I have enough for a mono-colored deck using only those lands (including highlander- and EDH-decks).
Unfortunately the Swamps have the regular art. I have one complete art set + about 25 of the more common ones, which came in the intro box. All the others had to be cracked from boosters and go for about 10-15 € each, so I keep the mint ones in a binder, but I would love to be able to get enough of ex+ copies for a few decks.
When I feel the need to go really pimp I just use Guru's. They are pretty neat also.
Zendikar Island (#236). Beautiful and mysterious, amazing color.

I had suspected that since the style looked more Japanese than Chinese to me. Different sources said different things, I've seen it listed as Taiwan, China, and Japan.
I love those old type-1 white-bordered lands. The art is really something. It isn't as clean and defined as the art in zendikar lands, but I appreciate the painting nonetheless. I felt like it was made on canvass, scanned, then printed on the card, as opposed to zendikar lands, which left like they were made on canvass/paper, scanned, digitally enhanced, then printed.

My personal favorite, but what do I know? I really want to find a bunch of foil ones to play in whatever Legacy deck I'm running with Islands (usually 'Folk, soon to be High Tide). I have about 10 T-Chinese ones but I really like it in foil, sadly I only have 2 foils of it.

Zen full art for me. Just seem more vibrant and alive then the un- sets.
I really like the simplified chinese Portal 1 lands. You can find them here: http://www.magiclibrarities.net/506-rarities-simplified-chinese-alternate-art-cards-simplified-chinese-cards-portal.html

There are a lot of singular basic lands I like more than lands from each of those sets, but the list would be mighty long.
I was wondering which arts are your favorite?
Lets limit this to non-full art lands!
