Wow.... got the Arena update and WotC is selling the Nyx basic lands for 3,000 gold each. So if you want all five styles, you gotta shell out 15K.
I'm a bigger fan of the older style art, such as those from Mirage. But trying to entice players to spend gold on basic lands. Is that working? Is anybody here buying the Nyx land art?
I bought them because they look neat and I have a surplus of gold. You can make 1,000 gold a day so it's like grinding for two weeks to get them. Seems about right.
I detect anger and disblief but I find it hard to understand why. Were you expecting them for free? Did you expect them to be bundled together and cost gems? Did you expect them to cost less than an avatar or sleeves? Or are you just unaware of how much gold cosmetics cost and shocked in general?
I already scooped up all 5. Their cost was insignificant and every deck has some number of basics. I'm glad they didn't decide to bundle them all together and change something like 3,600 gems because I would actually hesitate at that. Unless you expected them free or as some part of winnable item this is the cheapest I imagine them making anything. Other card styles costs the same or more so it's hard to understand where your frustration is coming from.

Or.... you can just read it for what it is, a question.
If I was angry about it, you can bet my post would be a lot longer and display far more annoyance.

The intent behind written posts is difficult to capture but when you start with "Wow..." that signals annoyance and disbelief. The italicization of "each" doubles down on both of those feelings. Then asking your question by not asking a question but making a statement; then asking the question twice once more has a feeling of hostility not to mention the use of the words "Shell out" and "entice". Though I have trouble picking up normal social cues, so whatever.

No offense, but I've always taken that as expected with all Magic players on either side of the coin, myself included.
