These were expected, but it's nice to see confirmation, and the art is awesome. I especially love Temple of Malice. These are thanks to our friends over at Channel Fireball.
I was just looking at the arts, again, and I thought to myself, "I really like the UB and BR temples." Then I realized they are both by Jonas De Ro. I'm not familiar with the name, but I need to be on the lookout, these lands are beautiful.
expected, still disappointing. I was hoping for something new, or at least reprints that actually need a reprint/add something to any card pool larger then Standard. these are just....better than Shivan Reef and friends, but that's about it. I know it's still early, but it really doesn't seem like there is anything exciting going on in this set

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
those could be bumped down to uncommon....
at rare they're just way too disappointing.
Lands that never enter untapped are never that powerful anyway.
^that. at uncommon, they would be fine, even a welcome sight. at rare....they are far from the strongest lands, they can't enter untapped, they don't actually do anything special since scry became evergreen, they aren't expensive or hard to find. I'm still hoping for a worse Serra's Sanctum

these were worthless already, and could've easily been put at uncommon and been done with it. predictable and expected include. not a fan of opening them at rare. wasn't any of the other times around either though.
Omg im shock im so shocked “ talking in sarcastic voice”
Yea this was locked the moment I saw the enemy ones in M20
I was actually a little worried because I thought I saw Maro mention that this set leaned mono-color like Eldraine, but it would be hard for them to go two sets in a row without dual rare lands to help sell packs.
Good call on the person who said we'd see them in this Theros. Those will be nice to see and great mana fixing for standard.

I owe you an apology too. I didn't think WOTC was willing to actually put the entire cycle in standard, well, other than shocklands. Nevertheless, I am impressed.

well that is awkward if that is the reasoning. unless they ban the original printing, a cycle of lands with prices that top out at just over the price of a pack won't drive sales. the temples are what you put in specifically if you don't want people in draft taking the rare over an uncommon for money. actually these make me less likely to buy packs at all. rare lands with no value, on top of the other bulk? it's going to be another Eldraine, each pack is one of the 4 chase cards or bust

Players demand to get full cycles.
WotC does not think anymore, they just deliver what the Reddit/Twitter bots demand.
Imagine the popularity of Ravnica 4 when they do borderless shocklands.
Well they will have to go full Expedition on them, because by that point they won't be worth any more than the temples. They fail to recognize that something can only be a chase card while they are still a good pull.
