That Island looks more like a huge lage instead of Lorwyn rivers. Maybe it's better for Shadowmoor merrows? Like, they needed a way to easily communicate with land-dwellers in Lorwyn, but in Shadowmoor, they lurk in the dephs and wait until some random kithkin fall into their jaws...
I have yet to see artwork from Shadowmoor that I dislike. Even this land art is amazing, especially the gloom behind the forest and the plains. Did Avon do it, I wonder?
See, this is kinda why it's annoying giving them they're own topic. They're already in 2 other separate topics in fact. People don't read any info on them in the original topics... To answer your question from another thread, Ohpus:
are not official ones, no. they are another distributor incentive like the rubix cube, made by GTS this time if I recall correctly. They sent solicitation for them this week, but the images weren't working. Those are nice. They are made according to the prerelease and "official" event mat sizes as I recall from the email.
GTS also makes a mat for every set usually, such as the incinerate ones for tenth edition. They made them for LOR and MOR as well.
and
*5 DIFFERENT PLAY-MATS!! That’s right!! We will
have 5 different play-mats to offer our retailers. 1
mat for each of the 5 Mana colors; Black, White, Red,
Green, && Blue.
*NEW THEME!! We are dubbing this product the
MANA-MAT! The art for our Mana-Mats are all LAND
IMAGES ( thus the phrase MANA ). None of this art has
been seen by retailers or players until NOW!!
*NEW SIZE!! Our Mana-Mats are 19” x 24”. This
matches the size issued by WotC for their Pre-Release
and Tournament events. Take a look at the World of
Warcraft play-mats…..our’s will be the same size.
*LIFE-COUNTER!! We have incorporated a
“life-counter” on the right side of our Mana-Mats.
This is a 2-token life-counter, and counts from 0 – 30.
So while it's official shadowmoore art on them, they're not official tournament give aways, and you might not see them at a tournament near you.
very nice! i'd love to get one for swamp and mountain. too bad they didn't think of hybrid playmats, linking two lands together. that would've been neat, too.
if it didnt have the red mana symbol on the wallpaper I would have guessed that mountain to be the new art for graven cairns......it has the waterfall coming out of mouth of cave, similar color uses (gold and red, minor black), and all in all it just really looks like it could be graven cairns.....oh well i guess, hopefully the graven cairns art will look this good
They're beautiful, but most people don't like giving away what color their deck is before they roll the dice. Sleeves and a deck box usually do it anyway, though, if you're foolish.

Or your mat can help you fool your oppenent Just beacuse you use a green mat it doesen't mean that you have to play green XD.
Wow. That's pretty fobbin' brilliant. Wouldn't work for me, though. My playgroup already knows what colors I like. Then again, there's always the prerelease. >D
Is it just me or the 10 little dots on the right side of the playmats are for a reminder for poison counters? If so, what are the other 3 (or 4 if you count the big mana dot) dots on the inside for? If it were 5 counters, it could be for extra turns, but 3 is just odd.

Look a little closer. They have numbers on them, and the website says they feature "Built in Life counters"
it goes 30, 20, 10 for the big "Dots" and "9-1" for the little ones.
The life counters look pretty nice. But kind of awkward because I already use dice for counters. Using the mat would make me look kind of weird. But the art looks pretty cool. The Island and the forest look the best for artwork. I would'nt play on the island because of the bright colors. I would love to play on the swamp or plains playmat. The mountain one is just kind of cool.
We were discussing playmats last night...I was saying how I should probably get one...if so, the island one is lookin' nice...they're about 15 bucks, though, correct? Kind of expensive for a glorified mouse pad.
Automatic buy of 20x of each foil land in Shadowmoor now. I must have these in my possesion! The mats are an awesome addition, will probably replace my Xth Incinerate mat

"In another life, in another dream,
By a different name,
Gave it all away for a memory and a quiet lie.
But I felt the face of a cold tonight,
Still don't know the score,
But I know the pain of leaving everything very far behind.
And if I could cry,
And if I could live,
What truth I did then take me there,
Heaven Goodbye."

I can't tell if there are any numbers but you're probably right... they're still great playmats though
