They left out the part where Yawgmoth is resurrected,but has been cleansed as Yawgmoth the Redeemed,and now must awaken Chromium so that Karn can fuse with him and create what can only be known as : the ultimate taco.
The completionist in me is flummoxed. We have 6/10 of this cycle now. While, I'm not sure how I'm going to adjust for this cycle, there is no question that I am going to. I'm a bit awestruck by this set already. There are already 8 cards I wants from this set and it is only Tuesday.
I think this is going to make me split between manlands and canopies:
Manlands: WU, UB, BR, RG, WB, RW
Canopies: GW, BG, GU, UR
Obviously, the allied ones don’t really have the options to switch to canopies, but I didn’t like having only Horizon Canopy instead of Stirring Wildwood. Being able to have a mix of them is way more palatable.
I remember not too long ago there were some discussions on this matter here on the forums; if the horizon canopy lands would ever reprinted for the other color combinations. The answer was no.
I'll prob squeeze Horizon Canopy in as well for Selesnya. I really like the manlands and the enemy ones are great so I don't think I'm going to cut them.

I've reached a point where I'll have to make choices over which lands to include. I've been waiting far too long to run into this problem. Merry Christmas everyone!
At 540 and I already run 6 lands per guild and several 5 color ones. Do most people at my Cube size run 5 per guild?
Tough calls here. I haven't done land cycles in a long time but I absolutely love regular painlands and getting to cycle on top of that is amazing. I will find room for all of these.
I really don't know if these are better than man lands in a general sense. I my have to revisit mixed sets as we are getting mroe and more B level options. ( I consider shock, Fetch, ABU Dual as A Level)
currently I run the Dual/Shock/Fetch/Manland set. I think I will run these on top of that instead of replacing manlands. I like these more than most of the manlands, but It's not very often I draft my cube and think hey, There is too much fixing. I will keep an eye on the 5 Color good stuff deck and make sure it isn't to easy for that deck, but I don't see these cards playing to well in that deck since they are already taking City of brass / Mana Confluence, and the already can take a beating from the life loss on those cards.
In addition, I see these more as lands that allow you to cash them in when you are out of gas, and they just happen to have a little fixing as upside. Even mono colored decks will want to play them. Compared to say a dual or a shock where you typically wait until you know that your in that color pair or splashing before you pick them up.
I've been running 5 cycles ever since I went up to 540 and it feels good to me. dschumm's rule of thumb checks out in my experience. I've never run MORE than 5 cycles though so @kingneb I can't speak to how going from 6 to 5 or vice-versa will affect your draft environment.
Currently I run Rav/Rev/fetch/Misc in my cube. These will be replacing the misc slot in the enemy colors. Hissing Quagmire is the only man land I am really going to miss.

I think I will cut the manlands; for some reason I am still running Snakeform so that will probably go and be replaced by the Simic one. Other than that, I don't want to think about the foil price of these

"Ever" is a really long time.
Also, ouch, my wallet.
This set’s fixing is going to make cube a little faster.
