I asked a while ago what type of sleeves you used. Now I'm just wondering what type of basic lands do you use? (no major reason, I'm just curious!) I myself use a mixture of some of my favourite basics:
I have the spiky mirrodin plains, a combo of zen and rav mountains, Rav forests and islands and recently Rise and Zen swamps. So far I have about 100 of each land for my 360 card cube. Do you think that is adequate
I'm trying to get lands from each set just so there is a lot of variety and because I like a lot of the different art from all the different sets. Also, since I play Symbol Status, I like to give the option of having all unique lands if the player needs it.

So wait, you have 100 each? so you have set aside 500 basics for your 360 card cube? Am I reading this currently?

So 35 of each land, each with a different picture, all foil or promo. Every promo basic land available. All 20 Foil Japanese ZEN basics, and a full set of Guru Lands.
I first started with 25 of each basic, all M10. I think I may have started slipping in lands from other sets with 'generic looking' (IE, not RoE, Ravnica, etc., and more like Lorwyn) art in the modern frame when I started expanding the basic land section. Mostly evenly distributed between the various art versions of each land.
Basic lands are going to take a big back seat to the rest of the cube, and I'm happy with the modern frame lands anyway. They're consistent and it's easy to get art that feels fairly consistent across each land type (so they're very easy to tell apart).
if i somehow come into a bunch of money and have some left over when i buy all the actual cards i want, i will hook my cube up with unhinged full arts. right now i make do with zendikar full arts which are a lot cheaper and more available.

PORTAL?! in your cube? i must have read this wrong.
When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.
Bondafong, I'm digging your alpha/betas! I also want a similar look but opted to go unlimited (with 1 of each euro land just cause they are cool!). I love the old school "tap to add" and I started playing when revised hit and have been using the same art for my lands for a very long time. Very nostalgic!
Unlimited also has the added bonus (for me) of being white boarded. I like my lands to be white boarded and my spells to be black.
Currently use all kamigawa lands, just cause thats what I have a lot of. I'm trying to collect enough Zen lands for my cube. Beta lands would be the ultimate for me, but I just can't cash out that much $$ on basics, when there are still loads of other cards I'd like to pimp in my cube.
I asked a while ago what type of sleeves you used. Now I'm just wondering what type of basic lands do you use? (no major reason, I'm just curious!) I myself use a mixture of some of my favourite basics:
Plains: Urza's Saga
Island: Mirrodin
Swamps: Urza's Saga
Mountains: Zendikar
Forests: Urza's Saga
As I collect more and more foils for my cube I may end up changing to foil basics at some point.
So post what basics you use with pics if you like! Here's mine:

I didn't think there were urza's saga foil lands...
Juju Alters - Altered MTG Cards
Myself, I use a combination of Zendikar lands, Unhinged lands and Urza's Saga lands.
"What am I looking at? Ashes, dead man."
I'm trying to get a collection of either Zendikar full-art lands, foil lands or both. I just love the Zen lands.
