I doubt they'll reprint fetchlands for quite a long time. Which means I think they'll rotate out of extended, which is quite an interesting prospect - I know that extended must have existed before fetches, but I can't imagine what it would have been like - they, and their synergy with shocklands, have become that iconic of the format. It'll be interesting to see what happens when they leave, anyway.
I say reprint the shocklands. I feel they have the best advantage with the sets that are in standard right now and they have never been reprinted before. Painlands have been reprinted since the test of time. Let's see something new for a change please. I'm voting shocklands 1000%!
my point being "having a banned card in standard is a lot worse than having a banned card in block, or in other words, cards that have been banned in standard are a lot more dangerous than cards that just happened to be banned in block to prevent a single deck imbalance (like that rebel legend girl)"
I agree with you on one thing tho - shocklands are hardly broken, but artifact lands are almost "unprintable" broken (can you imagine them now in alara as part of the esper shard?)
Two threads, same subject, massive responses, and yet neither have bounce lands as an option? /lesigh... The bouncelands are easily the most balanced imo. All the other ones just reinforce the "spend your life to blow away your opponent asap" mentality, which is a trait of black cards, not magic as a whole. Get your own playstyle Red, Green, Blue and White!

except bounce lands have a huge weakness to getting bounced themselves, and the bouncelands are commons.

Lands are colourless and because of that they can be anything.

Well to be fair there was only one before you necroed the other, but never mind that.
The land cycle everyone cares about is the rare one, because it is the one that will cost money. Bouncelands were like 20c each. no-one cares whether or not they have to pay 40c for a playset of dual lands - they care about the $40 (or more) playsets.

Oh, i hadn't realized, someone linked me to the old one in another thread about the same subject.
Also, forgive my noobishness, i didn't know the different land sets had such a difference in rarity. Is that why everyone wants X set of painlands? And what does that mean for the bounce-lands? Other than price and rarity, what sets them apart from their chance at being the dual-lands in 11th?
Personally, I'm hoping (and I strongly believe) that Shocklands will be in 11th. My reasons:
1) Even though 11th is smaller than other Core Sets, EXPERT sets are smaller as well. Printing a so high-quality cycle of rare land mana fixers would open design space in experts sets that would not need a rare land cycle in order to allow non-monocolor decks anymore. Painlands could do this job? I hardly doubt.
2) I think all of us that have been there for a while are completely SICK of painlands. Waiter, tonight I want something different pleeeease...
3 and so forth) everything that has been said about them making more $ to Wizards, making people happier, etc etc etc...
(and for people who didn't learn yet: the generic names were chosen to allow future reprints in EXPERT sets. CORE Sets can have ANYTHING from ANY SET; as this point always shows up in someone's arguments, it's never bad to reinforce this point)
I'm voting shocklands, because they fit SoA the best. I think it's rediculous to think fetch lands will ever come back, they have Terramorphic Expanse in the core set, and now have introduced the Panarama cards.
Right now I am beginning to think the lands will have something to do with revealing cards from your hand - like a R/G land that needs you to reveal a card of the respective color to add the mana.

Everyone knows that good luck and good game are such insincere terms that any man who does not connect his right hook with the offender's jaw on the very utterance of such a phrase is no man I would consider as such.

I sure hope not. especially with Meddling Mage and Thought Hemorrhage running around

Stop complaining about how "bad" Standard is right now. If anything, its a lot better than what it used to be:
New fetchlands just came out so I can't see there being more and better fetchlands so soon.

Don't you love when people make such claims and are wrong?
