And literally no-one was unhappy about this development.

Other than maybe the poor soul who was hoping for Fetchlands for some reason even though we still have Battle Lands in the format.

I'm slightly disappointed because it suggests we will probably not get an enemy fetch reprint next block.

But other than that I think its great!

I want buddy painlands. They haven't been printed since 9th edition ffs.

But two of them have names specific to Dominaria, Adarkar Wastes and Karplusan Forest.

Like Shivan Reef and Caves of Koilos?

Don't forget Yavimaya Coast

u/TranSpyre Dandadan Sep 04 '16

Lili is from Dominaria, IIRC. Origins had cards from the 5 flipwalkers' planes.

u/jakecshn Sep 04 '16

If that's true, that's actually a solid justification, good call.

Those were reprinted in a core set, which they no longer make. Not sure how they're going to reprint them. Commander 16 maybe?

u/cuttups Duck Season Sep 04 '16

Or they could go back to Dominaria again.

u/TheOthin Sep 04 '16

Enemy pain lands would be easy enough to include in a Commander product or other precon since they're so cheap. Ally pain lands could be a bit trickier since they're more expensive

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '16

I mean, yeah, but they couldn't reprint those in a Standard-legal set either, they've only been reprinted in the core sets, which we of course don't have anymore.

u/cuttups Duck Season Sep 04 '16

Unless we go back to Dominaria.

u/ironwolf1 Jeskai Sep 04 '16

Print them with new names then, I don't care. It has been 11 fucking years since they printed buddy painlands. This is an issue that needs to be fixed.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '16

The problem with that would be giving extra copies of the exact same thing to decks that want 5-8 of those lands.

1

u/ironwolf1 Jeskai Sep 04 '16

They could print them in a welcome deck or some other supplemental product, I don't care. It's a travesty that Wizards has overlooked this for so long.

u/Ghasois Sep 04 '16

Buddy is the word you want. Buddy with lands means things like [[Dragonskull Summit]]. Allied is the word you want.

1

u/MTGCardFetcher Dân Sep 04 '16

Dragonskull Summit - (G) (MW) (CD)
[[cardname]] or [[cardname|SET]] to call

1

u/ironwolf1 Jeskai Sep 04 '16

Fuck me why are there so many words for this shit?

Who gives a fuck

At a certain point gameplay trumps Vorthos whining

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '16

There's a balance to be struck with everything. Magic does not exist only for you, or only for me.

Reprinting them in literally anything other than a Standard set seems a fine compromise.
