He said "upcoming block", so this means no-go for M16 either. I'm still stuck on the thought that a Return to Zendikar will come when the Magic movie is released (product paired with film production)... Also, I think we'll see one more block before this (maybe Iquatana...?) happens in 2017.
They said something about a MonoColored, potentially Basic Lands matters block Theme, so that would fit this lands very well, as just another "land matters set".
Hes talking in his time table, not ours. So 2017 seems like when this would come to fruition. Though 2016 is about the earliest it may happen. This isn't like back during Alara block when he stated poison was coming back 'soon' which turned out to be infect in Scars of Mirrodin.
If it is a return to Zendikar hes talking about, they're likely debating on putting them in since, like other posters here have already stated, that it would make it seem like only Zendikar can get full art lands.

The only time constraint we have here is that the set hasn't yet been printed. They could still conceivably be scheduled for the next block (Fall 2015), right?
I don't really care what setting they are in, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that they are landscape this time around.
Landscape full-arts are very unlikely, since they would cause confusion with indicating tapped/untapped status.
Anyway, while I wouldn't mind seeing full-art basics, I won't get any personally. Unglued lands are still my favourites.

Quote from "William Lyon Mackenzie King" »
There are few men in this Parliament for whom I have greater respect than the leader of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation. I admire him in my heart, because time and again he has had the courage to say what lays on his conscience, regardless of what the world might think of him. A man of that calibre is an ornament to any Parliament.

More like it has to be decided before art is commissioned. No sense in paying for about 20 different large portrait-oriented land arts to then use only a landscape-oriented cropping of them.
Please no. We already have Full Arts With Floating Hedrons. Nothing against them, I love the ZEN full arts, but it's already so rare to do the same thing again. Can't he have somewhere else represented this time around?
As an art and land dude I'm always happy to hear this, although I'm hoping it's not in Zendikar (already depicted in full-art) or Phyrexia (far and away the ugliest plane in the multiverse... Seriously, neon green swamps? Is it still the 80's?). How about some Muraganda? Belenon also seems cool.

That's fair. That doesn't mean they're not past that point, of course. I guess the timeline really depends on how firm the plan is right now.
This definitely makes me less confident about Return to Zendikar coming as quickly as I thought it would. The post seems to indicate the set is far enough into the future that something like this is still subject to change, and I think the Fall 2015 block is probably almost done by now.
I think fall 2016 is almost done. Back when Saga was released they said they play tested 2 blocks out.
I don't care what plane the lands are from as long as Jason Chan is commissioned for a set of the artworks. I need my basics for casual Jason Chan Theme Deck =).

I really don't understand the love affair with un sets. They are really stupid and I wouldn't waste my money on them.
Agree.
Of all the planes I want full art for, Theros would be it. But we're not going back there so soon. I'd love Zendikar full arts again, but with less emphasis on hedrons and more scenic, vibrant scenes.

Just becasue something's not for you doesn't make it bad. I don't play Commander, but there are plenty of people who do. I love humor and satire, and would go nuts if they did Un-3.

Really?!
I guess everyone's tastes are different,
but I found the Theros basics among the most boring ever printed.
They have basically no connection to the setting, and could be from almost any plane.

There was definitely room for improvement for most of the Theros basics. It's surprising because there are many iconic landmarks in Greece that could have been inspiring (the sandy port of Pylos, Santorini's caldera, Zakinthos, etc.) but I really loved these:
But the rest really are pretty terrible. I just meant Theros as a Greecian setting rather than the lands we got. But some of them felt rather Grecian. I just wish they had some subtle ruined temples in their arts even as Basics to feel more than just "here is a Forest only."
after what Avon did for me personally at GPNJ after losing my deck, I don't think I'll ever use any other artists land again (it also helps that he's my favorite artist as well
