Kind of curious if we will see the other lands soonish. Promos are nice, but getting a full set would be a lot better.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
In another news, Worlds will be team sealed...again. Awful. Why can't they just adopt the team unified formats already? It's a gazillion times better than watching 15 rounds of sealed...ugh.
It actually has a bit more art they chopped off of the sides.
Also: Thanks guys!
Also also: Definitely Ixalan, not Dominaria, though I was always surprised there was never any set that tackled the Spice Isles (the longest Dominarian island chain).
Absolutely beautiful art. I do anticipate it to be around ~20$ which is fair. I only need one for Commander fortunately. Very nice to have Zack Stella here as well. Great way to showcase Ixalan, probably the closest plane in appearance to my home, Florida. I hope we get more thematic lands like this, especially ones that are Theros themed someday. I love idyllic planes.
This will be between $20-$40, for the simple reason that there exist more popular ("pimp"-er) versions. ONS pack foils, Judge foils, AND MPS foils will all be in more demand/have less supply that this version, and thus there won't be a huge push to acquire *this* version. Yes, the art is cool, but in terms of rarity/prestige, this will probably slot between the KTK foil and the judge foil (which means that it will be eminently obtainable).
I would have to agree with your assessment. I already have plans where the ONS foil and Judge promo fetchlands I’m in the process of acquiring will go, I already have all the foil KTK fetchlands I want/need, I already know what Commander deck I’m putting the MPS series fetchlands and shocklands in, this I don’t have a clue yet. At least for me.
The 001/001 doesn't make me feel like we're gonna see the other 9.

Certainly not this year. If WOTC decides to stick to a theme for 10 years, then we might get the rest. But yes, it's pretty clear that this is a one-of in 2018.

How long did they stick to the "No more Core Sets", "Two Block Sets", "No Event Decks", "No Modern Pro Tour", etc. themes?
001/001 is accurate of WotC's conviction.
Come to think of it, if what is wildly speculated is in Dominaria, then maybe I will pick up a play set of these for a quasi-standard casual deck. Because hey, this is a Ixalan land after all.
I would be much more hyped if it were a Zendikar fetch instead. I need more Arid Mesas and Marsh Flats.
The number of these entering the market is insignificant, and so will not push the price of extant fetches down. If it were an enemy fetch it would be more expensive (because the base price of enemy fetches is more expensive), so unless you're going to Nationals it would not make it any easier to get the card you want.

I am planning on going to Nationals, but I'm also weary of Wizard's current focus on allied pairs. Since 2014 Khans block, the only enemy cycles have been uncommon ETBT lands with no effects and Kaladesh's fast lands. I'm not counting MM3 considering how little effect it had on those prices.

BFZ-block manlands didn't even make it on your radar?
That aside:
Arid Mesa is half of what it was last year.
Marsh Flats is 75% of what it was last year.
Misty Rainforest is roughly 2/3rds of last year's price.
Scalding Tarn is 75% of what it was last year.
Verdant Cats is at 65% of last year's price.
These are the OG ZEN fetches, not the price for the reprints (although there's little variance between them). You should definitely be counting MM3.

I did forget about the man lands, which just completed Worldwake's and they oddly split over two sets, because they threw in a whole other cycle too. Can I ask what you use for price histories? No one I talk to ever says about that significant of a drop.

I'm happy to talk more about pricing and ease of acquisition, but that's probably more a conversation for Market Street (where I actually wear my admin hat).

This art is of Dominaria for sure. It's the next standard set and as we know from Khans, fetches can quite powerfully affect the format. How do you insulate the format from being warped by this power?

So these promo Flooded Strands won’t hit the market until early July eh? This is perfect timing for me, allowing me to see what’s in Dominaria and M19 to see if I want to pull the trigger on buying any of these promos.
This card was designed to be an answer for double-faced cards in Standard.
I don't think that Fetches will be in Dominaria, but what else did you expect her to say? "Well it looks like you got us guys, all 10 fetches are in Dominaria! :D"

I don’t see the white besides the man-made antiques either. If we’re going that route I’ve seen basic land Islands with lighthouses too.

Cards I still want to see created:

Let me put the final nail in this coffin:
