I use lots of them as well, my Sliver Queen EDH deck has twelve nonbasics in it, all of which come into play tapped. I don't think it is ever that big of a deal.

This is a VERY bad thing. FTV Legends are the worst warping foils I have ever seen. It's astonishing to me that Magic collectors have been griping about foil quality, and they have gotten WORSE. Now they are actually advertising a FTV unique foil process as a point of sale??? Ugh. This screams incompetence to me.
This is interesting, since I've found the opposite; FTV and PDS foils warp much less for me than everything else. Is it exceptionally humid (or exceptionally dry) where you are? It's horribly damp in my part of the world, so all my foils have to stay sleeved and under a heavy book when not in use.

Anyone else think that we may see Homeward Path in here as a foil? Since Command Tower is pretty much out, I have a feeling it will make a showing as a Commander related Land.

I know it is possible, but I really hope not. I say that because it is a kinda situational card or it has to be in a deck that it makes sense in (ie. a Zedruu the Greathearted EDH deck).

Lol. This made me think. voice over. "He plays in a walk in humidor so keep his foils from bending. He once kept an all land hand just to know what it felt like to be mana flooded. He uses power nine for ante. He is the most interesting magic playing in the world." Old man, "I don't always tap basic lands for mana, but when i do, I tap Gurus."

Yeah, putting my vote for foil Guru Basics.

The only time I ever got one of these at MSRP was at GenCon, standing in line for an entire day being one of the first 100 people to get the "ticket" to purchase one of them from the vendors at 34.99 I believe. Other than that, I've never seen them sell for MSRP.

CIPT Mana fixing can cripple Slivers if you use too many.

I run very little. I tried, but in the end, decided to invest in fetchable lands that come in to play untapped or have the option to if needed.

That said, do I play shocks tapped? Yes, quite often.

I think mana bases really depend on the speed of your playgroup though.

Some local stores will put a limited number of them for sale for retail. But I suspect most will just sell on ebay for the higher price.

Exactly, your group's metagame determines everything.

Their attitude should be "Why sell it for a markup when I can just sell it at MSRP and get ALL THE SALEZ."

I would love a Dryad Arbor reprint. I used to use it all the time since it was essentially a free, uncounterable Llanowar Elves (not that anyone counters Llanowar Elves on a regular basis, though). A reprint of Dryad Arbor probably would have some rules text on it, since Dryad Arbor isn't a spell and it's affected by summoning sickness (I copied that word for word off of the card).
That's reminder text, not rules text, it's just for clarification. It could be left off, especially in a set like this that's aimed at higher-level players.

Haha...this deserves its own thread.

But slightly more on topic, what about a foil Arabian Nights Mountain with the original art, old card frame and all?
