Is it just me, or does nice art on your basic lands make a deck nice?
Everyone loves to 'trick out' their decks in every format. Foils are the most obvious and ostentatious of methods to accomplish this. However, regardless of rarity, there is a reason that a beta forest sells for $10, unhinged full-art lands sell for $6-8, and a euro plains is $30. The look of the card is so important; art is king.
Wizards of the coast should release a basic land set. The lands could have new art, old art reprints, different borders, old school wording (i.e. says the word TAP, like vintage lands), but all BASIC lands. No reserve list disruption, only providing better access or supply to those who like to have new and interesting art, or nostalgic prints of land that are not affordable due to age. Wizards could just pick an reprint lands that are proven to be expensive on the secondary market, no thought required.
Nothing beats the look of beta forest (C), unhinged, full-art land, or a euro plains. Basic land aficionados, how can we get wizards to print basic land packs?
