Unsanctioned’s Basics. To each their own, but personally I’m getting bored with the fact these never seem to represent visually what they’re supposedly depicting.
Hmm, they mentioned a new action word in the text of the green card (mutate). I wonder if that's a hint at what's to come in Ikoria? (If it's existed before then I missed that part).
Gorgeous lands. The frame reminds me of that from the original Unglued. And yay for Beebles!

Ahh... Wizards pushing sales of product with lands is getting bad. It used to be once every few years, now it's multiple times a year. Enough already.

I think he mean "on any product" cause full art lands were a big factor on the huge sales from Unglued, Unhinged, Zendikar(original) and Worldwake, Battle for Zendikar and Oath, etc (from a casual stand point(people that buy 10 boosters each set, more or less)) Now, since Battle for zendikar we had them in Amonkhet and hour, Unstable, the judge ones and other promos, Snow fullart, Nyx fullart. Maybe he is in a fatigue for fullart lands.
Fullart lands are always welcome but ye they are really pushing theirs sales with fullart lands now (Theros collector's boosters and normal boosters, this, etc )
Also, just for people to be aware: Every pack with the 5 30 cards decks comes with 5 fullart foil (1 for each basic land) and 5 non foil fullart (1 for each type) the lands inside the decks looks to be normal lands.

For a normal set sure but who thought they wouldn't do full art lands for this? Unsets are where the idea first came from.

The only legal cards (in sanctioned formats) are the lands (and one of the whys casuals bought it in the first place). As a casual it is the seccond product with fullart lands he is getting this year. (assuming he is a casual)

Un sets are fun and all, but it's a pet project for Wizards that gets people to buy in with fancy lands. When you have a just released set with fancy lands and now this back to back, it's too much.
Just like everything else Wizards did in the last year and continues to do... People thought the lottery cards were bad. That was mild compared to all of this other stuff.

I am disappointed that you only get 2 of each land type per box (one foil and one normal). Huge let down because that means one would have to buy a ton of the exact same product to get all of the lands one wants/needs. At least with the booster pack model, I could draft the format and have fun multiple times. :/

invention/expedition/whatever-those-were-called lottery was not inherently bad. if you treated those as a nice bonus to what you get in pack it was actually good. they were problematic when you take into account that people can have gambling problems. the fact that this is preconstructed product that contains limited number of those lands speaks a lot of how confident wotc is with the product. by which i mean not at all and feel the need to boost sales by making parts of it artificially scarce.
full art lands are always welcome but they lost all novelty for me. including this we have four products with full art lands in 12 months span. it's just not interesting anymore.
/edit
i have just noticed holostamp on those. why do they have it?

Which 12 month span had 4 full art land releases?
We have only had so many full art lands:
February 2020 - Unsanctioned
January 2020 - Theros Beyond Death
June 2019 - Modern Horizons (although technically these are Snow-covered full arts)
December 2017 - Unstable
July 2017 - Hour of Devastation
April 2017 - Amonkhet
Jan 2016 - Oath of the Gatewatch
Also, I am not really sure full art lands are boring. Each one of the above sets had wildly different art, composition and theme. It is not like we were given a bunch of generic looking islands.
The Amonket full art lands showed the plane at Bolas' height of power, while the Hours ones featured the same scene but at sunset with the destroyed/crumbling architecture.
The unstable lands had no borders.
Theros Nyx lands do not feature terrain at all.
Unsanctioned lands have a unique frame.
Modern Horizons has snow-covered lands.
If anything, the only "generic" ones are the Battle for Zendikar ones (and even they still have Hedrons and floating rocks and junk).
Plains is the only one that looks decent to me. The rest are goofy looking and will never be in a deck I own.

Does it really matter? We still get normal looking lands in all standard-legal sets, if that is your jam.

That's an anti-counterfitting measure. Since the Full art basics are effectively rares, they stamped them.
