Other then the fact that I reference the mats separately; landscape is also a term used to describe the orientation of an image. (Example: The art on the sleeves is a horizontal/landscape instead of the normal portrait/vertical orientation.)

Playmats are awesome, as they were with RtR. I love my Selesnya mat.

Oh wow, that Godless Shrine playmat. Sorry, Mr. Gris playmat. Looks like your days are numbered.

I'm still just so disappointed that all the cool Guild sleeves are horizontal.

Is anyone else peeved about this, by the way?

It was obvious that it'd be the case for Gatecrash as well after RTR paved the way, but this just really sucks. The sleeves maybe look nice in terms of the proportions, but I always have my deck on the table "vertically oriented" and I hold them in my hand that way too, so most of the time the art will just be idiotically tilted 90 degrees.

I really really hope the third set will have some more guild sleeves and this time the kind that I could actually buy.

I place my library horizontally. After all, when you reach for it, your hand is grasping in a horizontal position. However, I dislike art sleeves like that.

It would have been nice to see some minimalist guild logo sleeves. Oh well.

implying I can see the backs of the cards in my hand.

and who doesn't orient their deck sideways these days? It's so much more natural to draw from.

Ultra Pro has some of the worst quality sleeves I have ever had the misfortune of buying...I only used the m12 ones and the mirrodin ones no more than 10 times and they came apart. Pure garbage.

I gotta admit these are good points. I really want a watery grave mat. It seems like a cool "arena" for my creatures to fight in. Godless shrine is solid as well.
