I have almost 3 complete playsets of all KTK fetches since the release of Khans of Tarkir. Although, with recent people telling me it'd be more cost efficient to only owning a single playset of each fetch, it got me thinking if I should trade them or keep them. If I trade them, it'll be when I want a few Legacy staples. Keeping them would just mean I would not need to keep switching lands around. What do people think?

Unless you are loaning out decks, I don't see the point in owning more than 4 fetches. I'd rather have 50$ of other cards I can use than 50$ of cards I don't even need.
Reprints the one card that people point to when saying that art objectifies women.
Well done Wizards.
Liliana does not objectify women in any way at all. We have gotten to a point in our society that every single picture of a women must be objectifying a women in some negative way......blah blah blah.. That is not the case. (((Sarcasm)))Picture of a girl drinking a milk shake, must be sex related and putting women down, picture of girl sitting on a beach, picture of a girl driving a car, picture of a girl on the moon at a new space station.)))
You have a picture of an attractive strong power women who girls dress up as for anime conventions. What more do you want? The picture is fine, happy to see a reprint. Sick of of seeing people claim that everything in existence must be putting women down. Then all I have to do is replace the word "women" with anything else to get the same mentality; fish, cats, arabs, blacks, jews, men, environment, whites, chinese, old people, etc. It doesn't matter what word I put in. Stop sucking life out of everything man. That artwork of her is awesome. Stop putting stuff down man. Just stop. If the picture was really as negative as you claim she would totally nude, in a kitchen, making sandwiches and giving blow jobs. Her abilities would be horrible as well. +1 do nothing -2 do nothing -6 do nothing. Instead liliana of the veil is an amazing planeswalker comparable to jace, the mind sculpter with great art to appreciate.
My suggestion listen to some comedy radio for a while, pandora is free, youtube is free there is something out there for you. ***** go make fun of somebody. The whole world is so serious and campaigning for some cause, or someones rights, everything is a hate crime, racist, sexist. blah blah blah.
"O no mcdonalds must be slandering a hate crime against skinny people every time they make a big mac." hahaha jeeze You're just someone perpetuating another groups negative perspective that they've made you believe is correct. Look at the picture for a hour and tell me what's wrong with it? I don't see anything.
I have heard vague rumors of a moustache-dispensing vending machine in a distant laundromat, across the street from a tattoo parlor. However, this information is shaky, and time is of the essence.

I think around 2 sets for ur own use makes sense depending on how many decks u play. Any extra i would have in my trade binder to possible use to get other cards u need or to hold until the price starts to rise
No such thing as too many fetches. If people think you're constraining supply, you aren't. To constrain supply of fetches is pretty damn hard as you would need tens of thousands to do that or something obscene.

"Yawgmoth," Freyalise whispered as she set the bomb, "now you will pay for your treachery."
If you use extras, like for EDH or multiple decks, that'd be ok. I hate having to shift around fetches due to multiple decks needing them.
This.
I have about 60 fetches (a full set of the original Onslaught/Zendikar 40 and an additional 20 KTK). I hate having to move cards around so if it doesn't cost me much, why not have that convenience so decks don't have missing cards all the time (like EDH or if I want to have multiple Blue Legacy decks built).
Well since a lot of people mention using only one sleeve colour for all your staples to switch decks easily, what colour would best suit this?
Your choice. Though, it helps to get a set of sleeves that are durable and are completely opaque. Double sleeving with KMC Perfect Fits is something I, and a lot of other people, prefer to do.
Good options:
KMC Supers (Pearl White specifically)
KMC Hyper Mattes (Any color; my preference is Blue. But white, red, and black should be fine)
Dragon Shields (I've only ever used green. Just bought purple but haven't used it yet. I think any color is fine)
Perfects:
KMC Perfect Fit (Don't get Ultra Pro -- IMO they're pretty bad and are way too tight; you need to shove the cards in and have the sleeves stretch out for them to work. >.< Idk, I don't like them)

I found myself with a bunch of extra fetch lands over the years and I find they make great trade fodder at your LGS. Especially if you got them cheap. They've become a second currency for me!

"Listen closely as your radio plays
a program of a slightly different strain.
Tonight my listeners, a new power will rise,
unleashed upon you all in this musical disguise.

There is some danger with sleeving up the whole collection in one color/type of sleeves: uneven wear on those sleeves after a considerable period of time.
To some extent, this is always a problem even within a single deck: the MD card sleeves will wear down faster than the SB sleeves, particularly if there are very specialized cards in the board that come in only against particular decks. Sometimes you can bring this card in and immediately identify the sideboard card due to the sleeve not having been played as much.
There is no brand/make of card sleeve that I'm aware of that does not show wear like this, though there are certainly degrees of quality. The sleeves I use, Dragon Shields, are susceptible to this. I suspect that this problem happens less in other formats where people play different decks more often... but in Legacy, when you tend to play one deck for years on end, it's definitely a thing.
The problem gets much worse when the whole collection is sleeved up in the same type/color of card sleeve. Then we've got some cards (like Force of Will) in sleeves worn down to a nub while other cards (like maybe Ashen Rider) have never actually seen play. Switch decks 2-3 times and you can kind of tell which card is which.
At some point fairly early on in the process this becomes cheating, and while you can rotate the sleeves so that you can no longer tell which card is which... good luck convincing a judge that the deck isn't marked.
Really depends. Staple lands like feteches are as good as money among players, especially at big tournaments. But to just hold on to them, unless you are actually going to use the lands there is no reason to own them.
