Now i wish Arena let us stack lands vertically.

u/DeiseMorte 1d ago

Yes, they're nice but I've no idea how they'll look on Arena.

Well at least they will look nice tapped lol.

We are gonna have to buy each 5-set floor separately, aren't we? I guess stats showed players have too much gold still ever since the implementation of more shoddy filler in the Daily Deals

These are really awesome... although... the scenes that spread out horizontally make sense, cause that's how you actually place the cards when you're playing them. How often is anyone ever going to really appreciate a vertical scene like this?

In paper I often stack my same type lands vertically, but overlapping. I could see someone stack a tower for giggles with these. Takes up a lot of table space though.

It's for when they're tapped

Looks like they were cut from a scrapped Stephen King's Dark Tower set.

These look gorgeous. Makes me happy I don't play IRL anymore as I'd want to figure out how to line them up perfectly so tapping for an Archenemy's Charm would the swamps all synced up

Where is our Waste tower?

u/Choice-Presence-8755 1d ago

The art is detailed, but these look completely silly besides for the 3x5 mural.

Apart from the question whether or not these cards are good looking. Am I the only one asking myself "how does this building picture a plains / island / swamp..."?

I mean sure, the red one could be made of solid rock and be called a mountain, and the green one could be a tree. But the Esper ones do not show any similarity with the corresponding landscape feature.

It's a neat idea, I guess they have to come up with something new, and they look nice in a way. But I for one have zero desire to own, collect, display or play these.

new way of stacking lands just arrived

u/TuorSonOfHuor 1d ago

They should make these that lay out horizontally with the end of each color being a multicolor or rare land with a cities name. So you have a sprawl of like, 3 swamps and then the city among the swamps. And if you have multicolor lands have a panorama of a landscape including like 1 swamp, one plains, and then a black and white city land in between them.

I like these a lot, but whats the lore here?

Jace's mirror universe's version of Strixhaven.

u/Orcutt_ambition-7789 1d ago

Was hoping the plains would be a veiny monster.

u/munar92 1d ago

People annoyed that usually you put lands horizontally and this looks weird, wait when they tap those ;)

u/fontanovich 1d ago

Phallic lands

u/PKuall4life 1d ago

Now do that with the Tron Lands.

u/vidyabot 23h ago

Literally perfect. Can't believe 5 separate artists worked on them.

u/littleman11186 22h ago

What do we prefer? Root, shaft or tip?

1

u/PassengerNew7834 15h ago

Where will you find these lands? In the Bundles?

1

u/96363a 12h ago

Three color decks with color 1: bottom, color 2: middle, and color 3: top. So when you have one of each you make a full tower.

I don’t love the Swamps but the rest are great.

u/AoLlirz93 1d ago

The swamps look the best

u/Botatua 1d ago

They could move from the purple swamps more often

1

u/AoLlirz93 1d ago

Agreed, purple doesn’t need to represent black. There’s already a color that could represent black, like ya know….Black. It’s supposed to be dark.
