I find that Plains absolutely beautiful. The clouds, the lighting, the perspective, the realness, absolutely stunning. Looks like the high plains in Alberta or Montana, breathtaking.

These are very good looking. I find them more aesthetically pleasing than average for promo basics like these.
Props to the artist for, when being asked to make a panorama, prioritizing making each individual land art look good on its own over seamless and natural looking transitions. We´ve seen panoramic artwork go wrong before, where they put too much emphasis on it being panoramic at the cost of the cropped card art, which is all you will be seen 99% of the time. Looking at the cards, I`d never have guessed that it was a panorama, which means that they did it right.
These are awesome. Each artwork is beautiful. Wonder what the price of them will be though
No reason why these would be any different from earlier Showdown promo lands, just look those up. I can´t imagine them being expensive, they are <1$ for sure. Edit: Found them for you, I stand corrected. Wow, I´d never have thought these would be this pricy, they are just normal frame basics. I´m sure the Guay art on these raises the prices some, these new ones could be cheaper just for that, though personally I like these more.
These are nice but when will we get a Swamp that looks like a swamp and not just one more dead forest?
These are amazing! Do we have any information as to how they will be released and when they will be released?
They are Standard Showdown promos, which means that they will be in those special booster packs they hand out as prizes at Standard Showdown events. I believe the last ones contained two rares or mythics, a promo land and a foil. Showdown events start a few weeks after release.

Few weeks after which release?
The release of the set that the Showdown event season is tied to, i.e. Core 2019. More on Standard Showdown (God, it´s such a stupid name) here.

Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.

I'm a tad confused as to what you want out of a swamp, considering the defining factor of a swamp that differentiates it from a marsh or general wetland is that it has trees.

Swamps generally aren't filled with dead plants though. That's just a silly fantasy trope.
It kind of irks me that they won't just do these as full art promos. I go out of my way to use full arts in all my decks and just find the big empty text box with a giant mana symbol to be so antiquated when they could just as easily be full art at any given time. Oh well.

Live trees. As it is that Swamp would be more sunny than the forest and parts of the mountains during the day because of the total lack of canopy.
Innistrad, Tarkir and Ixalan swamps were pretty nice. And those that went on a bit of a tangent like Ravnica and Kaladesh' sewers and Alara's Tidehollow slums were very striking too. Pretty much anything that deviates from "lol dead trees with purplish mist" stands out because we have handfulls of those already.
Sure, there is a chance of spending $4 on a booster and getting the Mythic Rare $30 super card. There is also a chance of surviving putting your tongue in a light socket.

Aaah, thank you for the sincere answer! That actually makes a lot of sense.

I love it. The clouds are very realistic as well.
….. and some politicians as well.
