Richard is 100% correct. Mismatch your lands have all the best arts.

Thanks Richard now I want a secret lair of National Park basics...like use scenery from actual national parks. Isle Royal for the island, Everglades for the swamp, Yosemite for the mountain, Theodore Roosevelt National Park for the plains, and the Redwoods for the forest

I love how the LOTR Plains literally says 'Mountains' on it. :D

The golf course plains discussion was amazing. I loved when the editor showed himself peeling the plains!

I dig Phils more “technical” analyses. Cool episode. My choice of lands is always oldest possible, white border fourth are my go to bc of price

Unhinged will always be my favorites.

@1:28:20 Isometric is the word for the angle/style here, where the viewing angle is equally set apart from all three axis, making everything look diagonal. Very common in retro video games before full 3D became more popular.

Looked to see if anybody else answered first. Also the art gives off impossible geometry vibes as well, which I think Phil was looking to name Escher about.

I learned that Phil is the only person that has good taste in lands. I kind of wish seth was here for it cause it feels like he might also like the good lands

41:29 Didn't see anyone else answer this on a quick scroll: They've been called the Ukiyo-e lands, for the art style they're done in. They all look amazing in foil!

The new capenna plains in foil is one of the most beautiful cards I have ever seen

What I've learned from this episode is that most MTG players hate fun art styles

The year of the dragon mountains are "season 2 qualifier promos" so when MH3 launches you'll be able to compete for your 1. These will be probably some of the most expensive basics ever.

I enjoyed seeing all the full art lands 😅

Yall I've been asking for this for the past like 6 podcasts! Finally!!

The fact that we now have enough full art basics to have a 1.5hr podcast is something i would have never guessed a few years back. Awesome

The person who taught me magic's favorite set of all time is odyssey so I only use odyssey lands, but of the full arts in recent sets the kamigawa neon dynasty are easily my favorite and I do use them for my cube I would only consider mismatching if it was part of a theme of the deck Edit: Exact lands below Plains 331 Island 335 Swamp 342 Mountain 346 Forest 347

theres a specific forest from ikoria that is set a night time with various small purple crystals, thats a personal favorite for non full art basics

Crimson Vow are my favorite full arts. Fight me.

the first three un-sets still have the best art imo.

I use to do matching but even numbers of each variant, but then you'd have to put in sub-par lands, so now I'm on the Richard train, playing the best arts! Thank you for enlightening us!

Richard: "wait, why can't you mix these with real basics?" Phil: "I mean, come on, we are civilised people over here.." 33:13 - Phil always dropping the one-line bangers whenever he is on cam :D

Thank youuuu for making this video. Big land fan over here. This was great

1:19:04 "lost caverns of Italian" lol

First time watching/listening and I'm definitely subbing. Love listening and being able to go back and watch long form content like this. Would love an episode on ranking dual land cycles, best card promos vs original versions, or maybe ranking different sets on flavor/lore? Gonna go back through after this episode and watch more for sure

I played at an LGS with a 60 year old guy who self admitted that he had a fetish for the oldest basics that have the first tap symbol on them (that weird T symbol), and pulled out a mono black commander deck with revised edition swamps. Cool guy honestly

25:45 The SL came with 2 swamps. One was the extra card and slightly different.

Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty and Theros Beyond Death are my favorite full art lands, I would run them in all my paper decks if I had the cards to do so.

We needed crim here.

Yes Richard the pixel lands are peak, thank you!

The mana is coming from the stars in the constellation I guess for the Theros lands, kinda fits

When I pick basics, I try to match the plane with my commander or a plane where my deck's theme features prominently (like Mirrodin Lands for my equipment deck). Then, I like to have 3 or 4 copies of each printing (whatever fits my land count) since that's usually how I stack my lands in play.

I have a binder full of basics with arts that I love. I have a handful of the kamigawa mountains that tomer brought up.

I wish Crim did a call in for the Amonkhet/Hour of Devastation lands to defend them because those are S tier.

44:50 I didn’t even realize the “HIWTYL” commander deck came with a bonus Mountain. It came with the Island but apparently the Mountain was missing in mine. That sucks😢

Yessss i remember suggesting this topic a long time ago. Glad to see its actually happening! Lol but i feel like we need the whole crew for this! But ill enjoy it nonetheless ;)

Interesting opinion on the unstable lands, Phil. I wasn't a huge fan of them for a long long time but once I put them into deck lists, fetching for them made me fall in love. So so easy to find and if you have 2 or 3 of them all together then it's even more 🥰🥰🥰 I can only imagine how dope they are in foil 😭

The foil Ixalan island & forest were my start in basic land love. One in my phone case right now

Oh man, I'd love a basic land version of this podcast with all 5 of you. Due to the sheer amount it may need to be at least two podcasts. I really like the Unfinity planet full art foil basics which weren't shown but briefly mentioned. The Unfinity shock lands are sick too w/ the galaxy foiling.

There are some blessed swamps from shadowmore sets Richard, those are my favourite!

I think the Midnight Hunt lands actually look quite good. The Swamp is gorgeous with the light coming through the trees and the reflections on the water, I really like that one. The Plains and the Crimson Vow Plains are nice as well. It is absolutely beyond me how they can prefer the golf course plains to these 😄

Wow, I love those Standard Showdown basics. Might have to snag a bunch of these for various decks. Also unless I have a theme, I do the Richard method and mix & match my basics.

If you read the original Dracula novel, all of the arts depict scenes from the book VERY well. They don’t look like Plains or Swamps, but the attention to detail regarding the book is amazing.

Freaking loved the black and white innistrad lands. I have a spirit deck that’s all those lands. They are gorgeous

You guys should post the blank version of your tier list so people can make their own.

This was great! You guys should do an Atog tier list next, there's 12 of them and they're all S-tier staples.

I'm eagerly anticipating the hipster land podcast.

Usually my basics are either all the same or entirely different. Nothing in between. I don't mix border types though. I've spend like 300 bucks on just the basics for a single mono colored commander deck before. Priorities!

Oh, I listen to these at work. This one will be interesting. Don't have the time to keep my eyes on the screen. Hopefully you are good at describing them!

Love the content guys!

11:42 Man, "catastrophic flex" apart, these are absolute gorgeous. Such a unique texture, almost like a painting VS other more "posterish" ¿?

I love the Phyrexian Scripture Lands. Those and some of the Kamigawa Neon dynasty lands are the full arts that I rock.

I really hope you guys end up doing a full deep dive into favorite hipster lands.

Omg... you guys have not seen the oil slick lands in person? They are sic!!

I wish you guys talked about the new lands coming out with the symbols disguised in the backround. I think they're going to be new favorites for a lot of people.

I love all the different basics and full art basics available. I collect them all, or at least as much as I can afford (cough, judge promos, cough) and I try to get some of the old border foils when I can. There are also a number of nice regular lands for LOTR that look great as well. I also love the panorama lands from Scars of Mirrodin, Worldwake, and (I think) Champions of Kamigawa. There are some other mini-panoramas in Lorwyn and Shadowmoor that I'd love to get, but some of the foils are pretty pricey. But yea, sometimes they fall short with the full arts, and sometimes the regular lands have gems. It kind of sucks that we get like, 2 new full art lands with each new set, but I still love the new art and variety. And sometimes you get some that are really special and have value. I think the whole idea for them is to create a variety of lands that can help people with all sorts of different tastes bling out their decks.

What a coincidence. I literally put out a notice to my playgroup that I'm collecting basic mountains from each set very recently and will accept donations or just buy them .

I am happy to say that I agree with Richard on almost every land, pixel lands for sure.

Now I want to see you go through and rate all of the non-full art basics.

A bonus ranking for the full text lands was expected.

Also, in my opinion, the oil slick lands are amazing in person. They are definitely dark, but I love the texture. But I get the sense that there are many areas in which we do not align in terms of our tastes haha.

I'm with Phil, the basics from invasion, onslaught, mercadian masques. The retro foil with the falling star is supreme.

I just ordered the innstrad b&w lands for the monowhite gisela the broken blade. I dont usually buy lands but they were really affordable. I think those land are really nice in a monocolor deck.

The phyrexian plains in foil is unreal! i can see how they are very different from traditional basics though

"This really old Ixalan foil" makes me feel old

Tell me about it 😓 I started collecting during tempest...

Unstable lands are gorgeous in person and in foil. My mono white deck has mostly Unstable Plains, with a Godzilla one and a Galaxy Foil Planet one.

Richard and I basically like the same lands.

@5:30 I agree with Richard, there are so many cool different basics, I can't just pick one type to use unless the theme is really good, Like I have all the phyrexian full art foil basics in my phyrexian deck.

Richard and I dont usually share the same views on MTG, but he got my back on those Pixel lands. The only time I've ever bought basic land Secret Lairs was both sets.

I liked the longer episode! 😊

I'm with you Richard, the Ixalan travel poster lands are top tier

I just ordered 6 oil slick plains to start foiling out the basics in my judge promo elesh norn commander deck. Its only got around 20-25 basics though, it also runs emeria, field of the dead, etc. It has means to turn on field relatively easily while keeping a decent number of basic plains. I'm looking forward to it being decked out. The dark background doesn't bother me in the slightest. I have an Ajani that is far harder to read, plus it's a basic land, you don't need to be able to read it to begin with lol.

I'm with Richard and seth on this. Too many cool lands to play, gotta fit as many as you can in a deck.

My fav are the lotr, the pyrexian Pokémon lands, and the dark full arts for crimson vow/midnight hunt dam haha I wish crimson was there for me

did anyone notice that the secret lair john avon lands all ran into each other? they make one big image

57:46 My S++ 😊😊😊 These are the ones I have. Love the artist they make purely amazing art

Fully agree with Richard on the original Ixalan basics. SERIOUSLY underrated. Same with Ikoria and Throne of Eldraine for me as well.

TOMER! I, too, love the OG John Avon lands so much that I have signed limited edition prints! Well, just the swamp, but still! I agree I spent way too damn much, but I love the art so much, and I love all of John Avon's work so much that it's worth it to me!

Thanks to Seth I just ordered gold bordered Lands for my Don Andres Pirate/Theft deck 😂

Unglued borders remind me of the Fable games for some reason and I love them for it

Mismatching for me is only ever gonna be a thing in mono colored decks. If every basic is the same anyway, I will most definitely get all the sweet artworks in there. But if I'm in multicolor & have different kinda of bascis, they are all the same. Usually some full art, but I do have a few sets of old bordered lands that match, so they are in some decks as well.

I have a dragon shield box for each of the basic land types. They are a large mismatch of lands from a multitude of sets. Full art, regular, even white border. Whenever I need lands for a deck I just grab however many I need, not paying attention to art or frame or style at all.

i could have sworn the japanese waterart forest had a bird in the bottom left xD but might be just shadows xD

Summary of the episode: Richard really likes Full Art Lands 😁😁😁

I like the episode in the concept I would have liked if you could have put all the cycles from a certain set on the screen at once
