I just received the shipping message today. I'm in Europe.
Actually, that must have been for Black Is Magic.
My Smitten Superdrop arrived today.
As you will likely have heard, most of these - except for the Faerie one, which contained Dovin, Hand of Control - contain foil versions of the Jumpstart basic lands. I watched a video by the Magic Historian last night and he showed the Swamp from Discarding, the Island from Well-Read, and the Forest from Tree Hugging.
I got (I only opened the foil editions):
Swamp from Reanimated
Mountain from Seismic
Forest from Lands (ironic, I do not think I got a single Lands deck in TEN displays!!!)
Forest from Tree Hugging
This strongly indicates all 40 are contained. Maybe also the Terramorphic Expanse from Rainbow. Extremely unlikely they will have the M21 Planeswalker lands, since those are a dime a dozen as foils.
Turn one: Swamp, Memnite, Vorpal Sword.
Opponent plays land but otherwise passes.
Turn two: Swamp, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, equip, activate, attack, win.
Also, when you do this, you must say "Snicker-Snack." It's the law.
The reason for LED and Diamond Lion to have a timing restriction is that without it and 6th Ed. rules, LED is just a Black Lotus, pretty much. Because you can put a spell from the hand on the stack, then draw mana, which makes the "discard your hand" penalty almost toothless.
That Wrath of God is totally an Occult rock album. Brilliant, I love these, even though I'm not a fan of this kind of music.
Also, that Space: The Convergence article is hilarious. I recognized many cards (Orbital Bombardment *snicker* ) but mostly how bad Magic creatures were back then. Also, the 9th Edition symbol kind of ruined it.
I'm fine with you sitting over there and me sitting over here. I'm a collector so I like having one of each SL for that purpose.
So the way I see it, if I pay +X for the subscription, then save ~X through lack of shipping costs and 10% off, and get some extra perks such as access to a few further SLs, then it's a win for me.

This means...
IT IS OUT THERE
THE PHYREXIAN SWAMP IN FOIL
Turn one: Swamp, Memnite, Vorpal Sword.
Opponent plays land but otherwise passes.
Turn two: Swamp, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, equip, activate, attack, win.

Everyone: THE RUMOR MILL
The Voracious Reader bundle is the first SL product I'm definitely NOT buying. I'll get the normal bundle and have a foil and non-foil each, ok...
And foil.
Also, that Space: The Convergence article is hilarious. I recognized many cards (Orbital Bombardment *snicker* ) but mostly how bad Magic creatures were back then. Also, the 9th Edition symbol kind of ruined it.
The Inkling is the embodiment of cat: Cute, mischievous, and sometimes more effort than it is worth.
And the Witherbloom demon has a very Kami feel to it.
Also, Seb McKinnon Blood Crypt YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
These are really nice, I must say. So probably they will be expensive.
And I pronounce it Fibbel-thip.
