So, does that mean five mythic slots are eaten by "bling" cards? I don't think I like that very much.
Nope! Notice that these full arts have their own expansion symbol and their own little numbering at the bottom. These reprinted lands technically aren't apart of the set so your mythic slots are safe!

To clarify, as some people are still asking, the "premium mythic" lands are not part of the mythic rare slots for the actual set. They're basically a bonus, a huge one considering the rampant outcry for these lands. And the frequency at finding them is apparently the same as a foil Mythic rare. (they said foil premium mythic, but is there even a precedent for that?)
I think the biggest bonus behind these new duals is that it allows for a much easier playing of Alara wedges now that Khans fetches can search for them, even in light of not having an on-wedge tri-land. Can't wait to sleeve up Esper Control during Zendikar standard again.
I'm glad they did these at a rarity where you can get a sweet treat and not at the rarity of the hidden treasures in the first Zendikar set. But man, did they ever find a way to just print money with this block while also making what looks to be a really fun, powerful standard block. I might actually build something considering how many just downright interesting cards are in Standard all of a sudden.
I love the art on the "full frame" ones but that text box is ugly.
I didn't think Wizards could come up with a better money printing scheme than reprinting fetches, outside of abolishing the Reserved list, but damn if they didn't figure one out. Holy crap.
Yeah, those right angles where the text box cuts in are horrible. And there's really no reason to put the land type bar below at all.
After I collect all the fetches and shocks for cube, this appears.
I am drawing the line, just keep the non-full art and keep my money.
Plus, its pretty hard to tell the mana it produces.
At least for me, I look at the color of the text box and immediately know what colors the land produce.
And the frequency at finding them is apparently the same as a foil Mythic rare. (they said foil premium mythic, but is there even a precedent for that?)

On their twitter they just said they'll be slightly more frequent then premium mythic rares. Are they just calling mythic rares premium? Or do they just mean foil ?_?

The land type bar at the bottom really bothers me, but I just can't consider a card to be "full art" when it has a smokey grey, nearly-opaque text box obscuring the art. Don't understand why they didn't do them like the full art Gameday promos.
Doing quick math and basing it off the chance of pulling a foil mythic roughly 1:480 the probability of pulling one of these after working the differenceof quantity into this ie;
25 divided by 15 = 1.6666666666667 so if we divide 480 by 1.66666666666667 we get an answer of 1:287 packs roughly. this being stated and as i worked the math out, to me that seems too large a number and i am wondering if in fact these have an occurance of that of a regular mythic card so working with the difference of 1.66666666667 more likely it would be 1:5 but thten that number seems far too many would hit circulation. maybe i am just over thinking it lol
Wow this is super cool and a much more buyer friendly version of priceless treasures. I'm fired up for this set, I'm going to be blowing a ton of money on it I can already tell.
But will they complete the cycle of... growth? build-up? hella basic? Dual lands this set or will they wait till the next one?

No idea. When you double the size of the picture I'm okay calling that "full art." Adding 15% more is a cop out.

I guessed I missed it but why do the mythics have a different set symbol than the rest of the rares?

The full art foils that are the zendikari expeditions have a different set symbol and are only legal in formats where the original cards are printed are legal, think of it like a special expansion (commander, FTV etc.)

I guess pulling one of these out of a pack will be akin to being struck by lightning then. Cool and all but doesn't help make it any more affordable to fill out my shockland wish list. Maybe I can crack one and trade it for a full playset of its rare counterpart.

No it takes the foil slot.
