Is it me or is everything about this set literally darker? The trailer looked like a mini DC movie, now the lands look so depressing it makes innistrad looks like a prosaic advertisement. It's all kinda discoccenting really. Like why should I care what's going on, they cant even be bothered to flip on a light switch apparently
When did Autumn become dark times?? Im outside right now and its pretty dang bright out.
Whats the winter set going to be, blacked out or whited out? Terrible

Been a member here for over a dozen years. Playing since '95 just got lost in the twitch shuffle.
I mentioned this in the shockland thread that the 5 shocks were at the tail end of the set, pushing basic lands out. My initial thought was that shocks were a special case and came after basics, but seeing two slots between foundry and vents, the fact that they aren't sequential, as well as confirmation now that basics come after, just means that we have alternate sources of basics. There's probably some sort of guildgate land that takes the slot, with basics being obtainable in the planeswalkers decks. I wonder if you can pull foil basics.
Interesting to make a set that takes place in Autumn when there was literally no mention of like seasonal changes before on Ravnica.
They are REALLY trying to set the tone for Bolas and the changes to come.
Vraska did mention to Jace that she loved Ravnica's winter.
I don't know if they did this just because of Bolas, if you think about it WotC plays extremely safe with Ravnica, the change of season was probably the only way they found to make Ravnica feel different without doing SOI all over again.

So basically the same art except it's darker, w/ less color and less life. Literally everything that's wrong with current MTG art can be seen when comparing these to the old ones.
I think I've learned to treat Magic cards like baseball cards: keep 'em in a binder in numerical order, don't play with 'em, try to finish the set and just keep my head down.
Prediction: no basics in packs. We'll get fixing in that slot like in guild crash.
This sounds like a good guess.
Agreed. There was a discussion, I think in the general forum a while ago, that they could easily retool the land spot in the pack like the Unstable contraptions. This would help with limited fixing as seen in M19, but I think it should include the uncommon and rare cycles as well. Getting basic lands is not a problem for a beginner. If I was in a need for a lot of basics, I would buy a fat pack.

One of each and all in foil makes me wonder if this is some kind of promo thing, like Showdown packs or something.
Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.

Like, I wouldn't mind but I kinda love Rav Basics.
As far as I remember, previously the planeswalker decks have just used the basics of the main set.
EDIT: Watery Grave is also numbered 259/259. So something is changing with how they number the basic lands.

I used to be a world champion, but then I took a wolf to the knee. And three Galvanic Blasts to the face.
Concerning when returning to Kamigawa would be acceptable

Hey now, as someone with an ugly soul I find this to be offensive. Us people with ugly souls would never use these lands.
We use White Boardered lands cause we know it hurts you good people.
