Are you supposed to get a basic land in every pack or the tap lands that give 1 life or some kinda of combo of them? This is probably just a error IMO.
I can confirm this is true because my buddy and I just opened a box and there was a fetch in every pack. I took a pic and can post it later when I'm near my computer and not on my phone. I dropped everything to come here and see if there was a topic on this.
We got 8 foothills, 7 strands, 7 deltas, 7 heaths, and 7 mires.
There were no other lands, basic or otherwise in the box.

The expected ratio is not stated, but it's likely to be about 30:1 refuge:fetch.
Or basic, though the basics are far rarer than either fetches or refuges in my experience opening two boxes.
Working theory is that basics in English packs are mispackaged; according to that arcana basics should only appear in packs of the stated languages: Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Traditional Chinese. English Fate Reforged basics come from Ugin's Fate packs, fat packs, and Intro decks.
That makes sense. I only got one basic out of the two boxes, 5 fetches. I thought it was cute that the basic land was rarer.
I did watch someone at my LGS open another two boxes and get zero fetches, and to add insult to injury they were the most garbage boxes I think I've ever seen opened. As far as I know so far, I'm the only person locally who's pulled a basic. I don't know how to feel about that...
I pulled 2 fetches in my box. Foil Ghastly Conscription, Temporal trespass, Monastery Mentor, Soulfire Grandmaster. No basic lands at all. I had another mythic I think Brutal Hordchief. No basic lands.

I think in one of the preview articles someone mentioned that in Fate Reforged, every booster is going to have either going to have a refuge or a fetchland in the basic land slot.
That is just messed up. If this is an error and the market gets flooded with fetches, what is that going to do to prices? Certainly more will be out there than originally intended. I can't see them retaining their current prices if this becomes fairly common.

Good.

Quote from Wolfman about lack of Conspiracy spoilers-
"I'd say this about guarantees that it won't be up till this Friday, but considering the current track record, the ETA is now probably two weeks after the set has been out."
Quote from Sirius_B
Speak for yourself, if drawing *****-headed wurms makes social justice warriors cry I'll make it my favorite hobby.
Well, well, well... if it's a mistake, wonder how many days until the issue is fixed and someone is fired...
If intentional, wonder how many print runs it will be allowed in.
Wizards doesn't mind it too much I bet, even if it is a mistake. They only care about selling packs, so news of the land boxes will make more people buy them and make them money. They could care less about singles afterwards.
I would expect the ratio is supposed to be roughly the same as the guild gate: maze's end in DGM. Maybe the odds would be a little bit more in your favor as this is a rare instead of mythic...but it is just a guess since it is the same kind of system of replacing the basic land slot.
