Unhinged for me...I just can't bring myself to put the foil versions into decks though so i just use the non-foiled ones.

It really depends. For Standard I use the same art (and same edition if i can) White border lands, and for Legacy, I prefer Snow-Covered basics (Foil, if possible). For EDH, I use any random basic. I use my ZEN basics for drafting.

I like the Time Spiral MPS lands.

Also, some of the APACs, like the fuji mountain, look good. We need them in new-face foil though.

5th Edition Mountains

5th Edition Forests

Fred Fields Island from M10/M11

Some Lorwyn Swamps are nice

Odyssey Plains

I used to like Gurus and Beta and Summer because that's what's seen as pimp, but now I just play with art I like.

Agree. I, for one, love Kamigawa islands and am always on the lookout for foil one in crappy foil boxes. <3

The funny thing is that if a guy plays all AN mountains, go ahead and play City in a Bottle. Pwned.

its why I play guru. <3 Terese Nielsen.

I do have some second best favorites tho:
island
mountain (more so the overall feel of the card)
plains (invasion john avon plains are runner up)
swamp
forest

if I wanted to play on the cheap, I'd be using those.. I actually do use those islands when my gurus are tied up in an EDH deck or something.

This is what I use in EDH, they're not as expensive as UNH foil/guru but they get the most "WTF"
