The layered plains you are talking about is actually how the Incas used to farm, because there was lots of mountains and hills, they would cut layers into them to make flat surfaces or terraces to make it easier and give them more room to farm. Also it helped with irrigation of the fields, when it would rain the water would stay there instead of streaming down to the bottom.
Well they did say that they weren't going to do full art lands unless they had a specific reason to like hedrons or bolas horns. I get it but I'm kind of sad, I know I want full art lands that could be anywhere, and I'm sure I'm not alone. Ah well unstable drafts here I come

They're definitely on theme. I meant more that Kaladesh Plains looked odd to me, not these. I know aether swirls were the theme but its plains seemed especially natural for such a techy world.
I really like how well Mesoamerican and "Land of Lost" does blend together.

I wonder if anyone who opens up up "oops" unreleased product can sell then on EBay? In theory, they own the cards. The cards are considered used. Not to mention, they are cards no one can get for 3 more months.
I collect 1 basic land per plane for my cube, and while I dislike lands with hedrons or horns, they give uniqueness or identity to the lands. These lands really look like basics, and personally like the colorful Forest and Island.
Honestly I would have preferred leaks like this or even common card leaks over the rares and mythics... it would still build hype but not ruin the set...

I think it would be better if they would do 1 set of full arts like they did on Amonkhet
Sorry for the stupid question but how does someone open a HOU booster pack and find lands from a future set? I´m not buying the whole "Wizards is doing it on purpose" thing but this just seems weird
It's happened before. A Rootborn Defenses found its way into a pack of not M13, but AVR. So, spoiling 1) new watermarks, 2) populate, and 3) a card, half a year before the set is released.
But I do like the terraced plains and pyramid forest.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

I think the Commander 2016 and the bolas full arts are still superior to the ixalan basics from what I can see. At this point it's not so much the fault of the artists as much as the fact those artists are up against decades of fantasy landscape work from historic artists like John Avon.

Me too- it reminds me of Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire.
