UN Sanctioned... calling no art lands
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum

So this was announced with 10(!) basic lands... saying 5 are regular and 5 premium. Since MaRo had some discussions on the topic of no-art lands on his tumblr blog, and an UN-product would be the perfect spot for these, I'm just gonna call it here :P

It specifies "full-art lands" in the article.
It wouldn't surprise me if the lands included in the actual decks were different than normal, though.

Valid objection. One could re-interpret a combination of full-art-frame, borderless, mono-colored/background-colored, but without actual art as "full art", but you might as well be right.
Getting 10 basics MUST mean something tho, so I think at least one of my calls is gonna be right, if not both.

Im expecting 2 different sets of basic land arts based on the wording in the announcement. One set will be beautiful full art like usual for the un-sets and the other will be "silly normal framed lands". Like a landscape with monsters hidden or battling or whatever in it ...like a Magical Wheres Waldo or something.

Although MaRo has made it clear that there are certain mechanical objections, an Un-Set might be the perfect place for horizontal-art lands.

UPDATE (well, kinda):
MaRo said on Twitter after being asked whether or not we should be "expecting a brand new series of basic lands" versus getting "reprints" - "There's new basic lands". NEW. BASIC. LANDS.
I know I sound like a tinfoil hat guy here, but Wizards/MaRo just love giving revealing answers hidden in plain sight that can be spotted retrospectively. And of course he could just mean there's new art yada yada, but in this context? Of course we'll know at one point but I really enjoy the speculation ;)

Why is there a new un-set so soon? Six years passed between Unglued and Unhinged, and then a full thirteen years passed before Unstable was released, so I find it to be very weird that there shall be a fourth un-set so soon.

@DemonDragonJ not a new set. 5 precon decks of 30 cards to mix and match with mostly reprints from UN1 & UN2 plus 16 new designed cards.

Bonus call: The other 5 lands will have different names than the "classic" basics, but still have their respective types.
