I have 0 shocklands. I had a playset of each bb pain and 4 of each dual with some betas. I sold some of my pains and all the duals. So not much left. I'm rebuilding a dual set for playing legacy now.
You really just need to embrace the rage. I keep a small colony of hamsters next to my computer and every time I lose a match to mana screw I throw one against the wall.
i've got 4 shocklands and like 7 pains used to have a Volcanic Island traded it for 3 Wrath of God .... i love being a casual only player.... i can just trade them for really good stuff i want.... esp since i have 4 City of Brass and 4 Grand Coliseum
I have 0 shocklands or pain lands. I honestly have better things to do with my money than trying to pry these stupid things off of Type 2 noobs that won't part with them unless you give up your soul and pay 30 bucks each.
I would go in a rant about how pain lands and shocklands have destroyed Extended and Type 2 for people that don't have jobs and aren't spoiled by their parents, but I don't really feel like it right now.
I second Coiled Flame. I think that for the budget-minded player, the shocklands are worse for Type 2 than affinity was. If you ain't got the dough, there's no way you can compete.
I have only one shockland. And I've got two painlands.
I have 2 shocklands (1 R/G and 1 U/B), and 12 (iirc) painlands. I opened the 2 shocklands, but only 1 of the painlands. The others I bought, if only because a quality mana base is very important, even to a casual player like me.

Thats one of the reasons I don't have any shocklands. Why pay so much for a shockland when you can shell out a little more for a dual land, which will surely at least hold its value.
Next I play legacy/vintage, shocklands can't hold a candle against the dual lands.
...if only because a quality mana base is very important, even to a casual player like me.
Which is the reason why I pick up duals and shocklands when I can. I play no tournaments and I'm strictly a causal player. I just have a lot of decks built and like to have as much flexibility as possible when I build new ones.

Oh, and if it's confirmed that Rob Alexander goes to Worlds, I'll have 40 Singed shocklands (I already signed the Ravnica ones in Lille, so the others are a bit jealous :p)
Zero shocklands and one painland (although my brother's friend has a different painland that I was going to trade for but we never closed the deal). It's a pain having so few.

I own 48 Shocklands. I think I bought 19 of them as singles, but the rest I've gotten from FNM's (you get a booster when you sign up at my store), as prize from fnm, and as prize from JSS's.
In my collection, I have the full 40 Painlands from 9th Edition, including one in Russian. For RGD duals, I have 4 of each of the Ravnica and Guildpact, but only 8 of the 12 Dissension ones. My trade binder has nine duals and eleven pain land from assorted sets. So my total would be 44 dual lands and 51 pain lands.
To break the stereotype of spoiled kids with no jobs.... I have a job, but I didn't use any of the money from it to pay for said lands. My parents also didn't pay for them. I never buy boosters either. I just get all of my cards from drafting and trading. It's much easier and cost efficient.

In that case, I have 82.
Maybe you shouldn't smoke when you play Magic?
