Aside from the obvious reason of moving product, the expedition lands will be a cash grab and ultimately end up in the hands of collectors/investors. Believing this to be true, I don't understand why WoTC couldn't make these "true" full-art lands and omit the text box. It seems like they're catering to new players rather than the seasoned players and collectors, especially considering that there won't even be that many printed. Hell, I remember thinking fetches were worthless when I first started playing around Onslaught (albeit I was about 10 year old). I don't plan on buying singles of the expedition lands nor do I plan to take Hasbro's bait and start cracking packs like a fiend, so I'm not trying to be pissy and nit pick. Rather, I've really liked the new expedition art that's trickled down the last few days and it just seems like covering half of the "full" art image with text -that 75% of your fanbase is already familiar with- is redundant.
With that being said, I plan on picking up a fat pack or two and I'll surely scream like a little schoolgirl if I pull that beautiful Polluted Delta.
Freaking Breeding Pool just had to go and be beautiful. And in the colors of my Kruphix EDH deck. Just when I thought I could ignore Misty Rainforest looking stunning.
Holy hell, I don't understand why the art is so incredibly generic and awful. Honestly, I just pray that the next full-art land set is not set in zendikar, because it makes me sad to see the opportunity wasted every time. The worst part is that I actually love a few of these arts - just NOT on shocks and fetches. I guess this set is a full pass for me =/
