Fetchable, ETB tapped, trilands that can be cycled away for 3 mana. They all have absolutely gorgeous showcase(not extended art) versions that I'm, again, sorry I can't provide.
Unless zendikar also has cycling I doubt that’s gonna happen
The only way we’re getting the shard versions is if we go to alara (which might happen based on this)
Oh, I see. I misunderstood what was being asked. Pretty sure MaRo has said that Alara isn't especially high on their list of revisits. Who knows when they'll finish the cycle.
tri lands you can fetch seem absurd. in modern you probably want 1-2 because you want your lands to etb untapped most of the time. In pioneer, decks were occasionally running the Khans cycle of tri lands but these are a strict upgrade as they enable castles and check lands
So things that get showcase art:
Mutate (mechanic of set)
Gods and Demigods (theme mechanic of set)
Adventure (mechanic of set)
Planeswalkers (makes sense)
Rare Lands? (Why? Just for lottery cards.....that's why...ugh and I want them)

I am in love. I absolutely love the Bicycle Lands. These now made the Bicycles ugly stepchildren. Begone Fetid Pools! Begone!
Doubtful, but possible they complete the cycle in Zendikar?
Commander legends is the safer bet
I'd say more like some set in 2026. Think of all the land cycles that have been started and not finished. This set was the perfect opportunity for enemy color cycling duals to finish the Amonkhet cycle, and instead they gave us a new unfinished cycle.
That said, these are great. And the showcase art versions are full stop the best land cycle art I have ever seen in my life. The showcase versions will be available in non-foil, right? I need them.
Well thats a way to sell the set. Sad that they enter tapped, i would like if it was more like the Ent-tribal land, being a land type and having a chance to enter untapped in play.
Also, I doubt these will be crazy expensive after they’ve been around for a while.
They will be huge for EDH (and maybe Standard/Pioneer), but ETBT makes them something few decks will want four of.
Being fetchable makes it incredibly easy to run 1-2 and get the maximum benefit.
So, two thoughts. First, they're unlikely to finish the cycle until these rotate out, so late next year at the earliest. Having both shard and wedge trilands almost certainly risks the enviroment turning into five color soup again, which is something they really want to be careful about. A return to alara is the most likely spot we'd see the cycle completed, but it's probably not the only place.
Secondly, as to why they didn't do the enemy colored cycling lands... it's something Maro talks about from time to tome, but one of the things they try to be aware of is when stuff is something they can only do here. Enemy Color cyclers is something that they can do in pretty much cycling set. By contrast, these Triomes require a cycling set, with a wedge theme, that wants to have fairly strong fixing. That's a lot more conditions, and likely not something they're going to happen upon again anytime soon. So they'd rather do Triomes now, while they have the opportunity, rather than finish a cycle they can easily finish another time.

I’m almost speechless lands with 3 basic land types
I’m almost can predict everyone will riot for shard versions of these
That means Coalition Victory is never gonna get unbanned from commander you only need two lands now
Being fetchable makes a pretty huge difference and makes them worth playing.
Cycling is nice but really just a bonus, imo.

I hope not, unless they're foil. ;p
Also, no wonder they won't give us fetchlands in Standard. C'mon little Fabled Passage! I believe in you!
Many thanks to DNC at Heroes of the Plane Studios
Yeah I hope not. There's no reason those couldn't just go into a standard set. Especially considering we're going to Zendikar in the Fall.

Not bad, a hit for EDH for sure.

I mean, I know biomes aren’t biomes because they are two of anything,
but this is an A+ play on words if you ask me.
Shocklands and original duals are still far better, unless you really want the "domain" mechanic to shine.
The cycling is pretty terrible as its so expensive, but you can use it if you have nothing else.

Fine lands as they are, but far from spectacular.
