Most planes of existence have their own wondrous places. But only Planeswalkers can travel to lands beyond their own and call on their mana from across the Æther. You have seen dozens of realms, and those of your kind have told you of dozens more. Your bonds to these lands are the root of your power.
Contents and Details
- 15 Premium foil cards, including 7 with new art.
- An exclusive spindown life counter
- A collector's guide.
- Each card has been printed using a foil process unique to the From the Vault series.
- The 15 lands are all printed in the current card frame. For several, it is for the first time.
- From the Vault: Realms will be available world-wide in English only, and will have an extremely limited print run.
- All cards are black bordered and tournament legal. This means that these cards are legal for use in any tournaments where the original printings are still legal. For some cards, it is their first time with a black border.
Product Concept and Development Team: Mark Gottlieb
Release Date: August 31, 2012
MSRP: $34.99
This SHOULD go with out saying, but it keeps coming up. The reserve list-premium loophole was closed in 2011.
This should also go without saying, there is NO mention of a preview card unlike previous FTV. Also, if there is a preview card, it would be from HOOK, the next BLOCK, not AVR, the next SET. Note the release date.
I'm pretty sure this line is wrong "For some cards, it is their first time with a black border." Since there are no white bordered lands that have not been reprinted in other sets.
Bad copypasting.

Wait, did we read it wrong or did they fix it to say current card frame?
Man, I've been waiting for this oh so patiently. Now I have to find a place in the Bay Area to pre-order it. I've never been able to get a box of a FtV set.
"From the Vault Realms is not all "Legendary Land"s it is an unfortunate phrasing. Am fixing now."
probably the best news i've heard now. NOW we might see some really quality cards. it has the potential to be one of the better FTV sets, depending on what bones WotC deigns fit to throw us.

Time for my normal gripe on FTV sets. I just have to ask if anyone has ever seen one of these for MSRP? I haven't, but I would definitely buy multiples if I did. I just hate that these end up being so inflated. They don't help the players, don't make things more accessible and the MSRP is a joke. All they do is give secondary market stores with access to them a means of gaining an enourmous profit margin on a boxed product.
Subtracting the Un-series ones and the ones on the Reserved list, it shouldn't be too difficult to narrow down the selection to those that are most likely.
I noticed there wasn't any mention of a preview card too, is that usually mentioned in the announcement Arcana?
Basically, if you want to open packs to get cards for Standard and Modern, the simpler approach is to just buy all the singles you need and then set some money on fire to make up the difference.
I thought this originally, but I think they might just mean legendary in the powerful and historic sense rather than the literal sense.
I'm going to have to go with this. There are just too many of these on the reserved list for this to be a good set, and we know the "never before in black border" is a bad copy/paste. (Unless they are either going to print R&D's Secret Lair or they are talking about some card in Hook which is most likely.
A few white bordered cards exist without black bordered printings: see Portal Three Kingdoms.
Which only has basic lands.

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
If it is only legendary lands,its going to suck a lot.
We are going to see Urborg,Gaea's Cradle,Pendalhaven and all the kamigawa legend lands
and the most important,NO Karakas
Why no Karakas? It's actually less expensive then an Unlimited Berserk was at the time FTV: Exiled was released.

List of Reserved List Lands : These Lands will NOT be in this FTV
http://magiccards.info/query?q=t%3A%22Land%22+is%3Areserved&v=card&s=cname
Posts suggesting only Reserve List lands will be deleted/infracted. This is the warning.

I really hope to see Maze of Ith, maybe Urborg Tomb of Yawgmoth.
EDIT: Legends only it seems, so no Maze. My hopes are high for Karakas.
hopefully, so will... oh wait, a lot of the good lands are on the reprint list. i wonder what magical land they'll dig up to make us want to buy it.

surely a kamigawa land or two will show up. i'd like oboro, but a lot of them are moderately useful. boseiju would be a good one to see.
edit: thinking of more: academy ruins, though we'll probably get kher keep instead.

They used to consider these exempt from the reserve list, but not anymore. New FTV sets follow reserve list rules.
If you hate the deck, I'm probably playing it!

Edit: waaaaay too slow.
...And neither it nor Glacial Chasm are legendary, and FTV
LandsRealms will consist of 15 legendary lands.New bet is Dark Depths, as it looks the most glacial of the legendary lands.
From the //gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?action=advanced&type=+[%22Land%22">+[%22Legendary%22]"]Gatherer search for legendary lands, the only non-black-bordered one is R&D's Secret Lair. Take that however you will.
They're not all legendary; hallelujah!
I'm going to have to go with this. There are just too many of these on the reserved list for this to be a good set, and we know the "never before in black border" is a bad copy/paste.
