Trick Jarrett from Wizards of the Coast announced that Battle for Zendikar fat packs will contain full art lands. As they fucking should was my reaction but it seemed a lot of the community were pleasantly surprised and expect and accept Wizards dolling these out as a special reward.
I strongly feel that full art and extended art cards just look much better but can understand there are some serious downsides to using those techniques on cards that are more complicated than basic lands. My full art Korean Languish from Game Day looks really sexy but I digress.
I have a full art EDH deck and like the new bordered (M15+) cards more just because the art box is a tiny fraction bigger.
While I might be in the fanatical minority on full art regular cards, I know I am not alone in loving full art lands. People love them and with good reason, they make the game look better. A lot of the time in Magic the Gathering there is just a bunch of land sitting on the table. It is in the games best interests for it to look as attractive as possible to casual onlookers walking past a real life game or someone tuning into Twich/YouTube.
Rather than use this tool to improve and grow the game, Wizards of the Coast instead plan to dole it out as a treat for established players to boost the sales of a couple of sets every few years.
Poor form and idiotic.
Half art is half-assed and shouldn't be tolerated. Rise up Magic players RISE UP!!
Make full art a permanent improvement to the game.
