I don't see anything wrong with that list. The Arabian Nights Mountain's art was in Beta, and all the other sets were white-bordered or contained no basic lands. Black-bordered preconstructed decks used existing art.
Of note are the 1996 Arena League, 1998 Asia Pacific Land Program, and 1999-2001 Guru lands. All feature new art in black borders. European Land Program lands also have new art in black borders and may have been printed in 1999 (they bear a 1999 copyright date), but they weren't distributed until early 2000.
Portal's Simplified Chinese printing has unique Plains, Island, Mountain, and Forest art. I'm not sure when it was released, but it was 1997 or 1998.
ok.. so heres my new chronological list of english basic lands with black borders and different artwork from 1993 through 1999, including promos and other special releases. can someone let me know if im missing anything?
