Enemy manland cycle should be completed. Totally fits with the "zendikar planet fighting this invasive species" vibe they have going on as well. Seems like a no-brainer.
"If fetch lands are reprinted I really believe they will be in allied colors (aka Onslaught fetches). If the fetch lands are reprinted you better believe that we'll all be fetching up basics. This would lead me to believe that the set after THS may have a reprint as the temples can't be fetched but it's pure speculation." - posted 03/22/2014 proved correct during Khans spoiler season.
"The set releases for fall 2015 (Blood, Sweat and Tears) and fall 2016 (Lock, Stock and Barrel). One or both of those 2 blocks (I'm betting) are going to contain either Fetch reprints or (more likely) Filter reprints. Filter lands still need a reprint. They are getting pretty high up there and it's been longer than ZEN so it makes a little more sense that Filter lands would see print earlier that fetches." - posted 03/22/2014 proved incorrect about filters coming earlier than fetches, still pending on filters in Origins block.
I hope John Avon has painted some new lands for Zendikar. Hope he does a cycle of Basics for Return to Theros as well.
I'm not a fan of full-arts personally, but I do expect the amazing art they'll have will also be on regular border lands we can get in the set. Excited about new Zendikar dual lands too. The new design will be interesting no doubt, and the art on them is bound to be phenomenal by virtue of Zendikar being vibrant and beautiful.
Posting the same response I posted on the initial Blogatog post: a bit disappointed that full-art lands seem to remain tied to Zendikar, but since it means I'm going to have the opportunity to get full-art lands for a reasonable price, I'm not going to complain overly much.
Also, people are already saying "but he said Battle for Zendikar, as in the set, which means they might still be in the second set of the block!!!!" I'm not sure if that's dedication or denial. (Not surprised at all that the fetches aren't going to be in BFZ, I just wish it meant people would shut up about them for a bit.)
I'm hoping for enemy manlands, but the "brand new" wording might be implying that they're something entirely different, rather than the completion of an old cycle. But original Zendikar had two great cycles of dual-lands, so I have high hopes for something cool, whatever they are.

RIP anyone who wanted enemy fetches for EDH. I guess I bite the bullet before all the ebay sellers jack up the prices.
Such a stupid decision, who cares about cool new lands when you could actually put chase rares in a set again. Khans was such a refreshment for having any amount of value in the rare slot.

I think it reasonable to guess the enemy fetches are going to be in the second set. With the new rotation, they would only be in Standard with the khans fetches for three months, so the bonkers mana base and landfall shenanigans would be kept to a minimum.
I'm okay with new dual lands. Wasn't expecting enemy fetches because of the timetable that they work with. The last humongous fetch spike was almost two years ago. Give it another year and they'll reprint those.
Per Maro:
I’ve been getting these two questions about Battle for Zendikar quite a bit, so I think it’s time I finally answered them.
First, yes, Battle for Zendikar will be the return of full-art lands. I’ve seen them and you’re all in for a real treat.
Second, Battle for Zendikar does have a cool rare cycle of dual lands, but they’re brand new designs and not the Zendikar fetch lands.

Hopefully they reprint Celestial Colonnade and the allied cycle with them.

I'm not disappointed though. I like new design and new cards. There's a chance the fetches will be in the second Zendikar set too.

Also, he mentions "brand new" rare lands, so they may be manlands, but also may be strictly worse than the old ones. Or better, who knows...
