Mono-colored EDH decks frequently run snow-covered lands. The only real benefit is imprinting them on extraplanar lens to keep other random decks that share colors with you from benefiting.

I am also wondering this. I remember a while back they was always a one of in Vintage decks so I figured there must be another reason than just wanting a different basic. I figure, so something can/can't target it. Can't put my finger on it, maybe for a Gift's target. <shrugs>

Currently people just them for EDH. Skred red isn't going anywhere in modern I don't think. maybe I'm wrong ...

Skred's too slow, no? You get lightning bolt without having to play three snow-covered basics, and it hits the dome. You've even got flame slash at sorcery.

Am I going to have an issue with people that have like 10 refs refusing to send to me?

Also, Any good advise on how to pick up cheap stamps/envelopes?

Maybe trade with a few high reffed people where you would have to send 1st a few times to get some current refs (ThaGunslinga, Foilmonger, me )
Once you get back in the swing of things, and then pick up a few more refs, then trade with some lesser reffed or newer members and get them to send 1st to you. After 8 or so trades, you should be ok.

Wizards made modern so that they can reprint cards w/o having to worry about the secondary market. Honestly, I don't see why they can't reprint the shocklands and/or zendikar fetchlands (however, I see shocklands being reprinted far before the fetchlands and I see the onslaught ones being reprinted before zendikar). Tarmogoyf won't tear standard in 2.. The only cards I'd dread them reprinted again is Jace (dark confident/clique is an eh/w.e kinda annoying). JaceTMS just ruins your life.

They didn't say anything. Heck, they haven't even announced the name of the third set in the block that's only just about to be released.

The rumor is that there's a return to Ravnica in the block after Innistrad. It's probably as good a guess as any at this point, and it's also probably as good a guess as any that if they go back they'd reprint the Shocks in there as well.

The only question then is, do they slow roll them like they did the first time or just put all 10 in the first set at rare and watch as the price crashes?

It's true that we're going back to Rav, but I don't see any reason why this means there's going to be a reprinting of shocks then. If anything maybe they'll be in M13, so they can support the core set with big-tickets without having to up the ante from Titans, etc. And since the shocks would steal quite a lot of the thunder from whatever else is in the set along it, I doubt they'd want to drop those in a return to Rav when they've (presumably) got a lot of new stuff to show off.

I have thousands of snow lands. Guess I should get some shiney coin for them.

I've stopped using MOTL for years at a time and not a single person has ever brought up the fact that my last ref on the site would be from years ago (usually 3-4 years). You can see how generally chunks of my refs are from 2002, 2004, 2006-07, and then 2011. I don't think you'll have too much of a problem, though maybe a few people might bring it up.

As Bugger said, I think it far more likely that we'll see the shocks in M13, regardless of whether we return to Ravnica after Innistrad. When they originally announced the shocklands, they brought up the fact the names of them are generic, and not linked to any specific plane like the painlands were. This allows them to put them anywhere without continuity issues. And since they were originally in Ravnica in the first place, I find it unlikely they'd want to do the same thing again.

---

There is no way they would print them all in one set. If they print it, it would be allied in M13 then enemy in the next big set, just stretch them out over the entire block or do one of those weird shadowmoor/eventide things and have two big expansions in one year.

I mean if they printed all 10 shocks in one block, they can literally have every mythic be vizzerix and still sell packs like zendikar

Except pain lands at their best were never close to what shocks where at their lowest...

Now thats not to say WoTC won't, just that based on why people say it wont your example isnt the greatest...

Anywho...screw dual lands I want tri-lands with basic land types..lol..

Now that would be fun...I'm willing to bet it will never ever happend...but would be fun...

Let's say Wizards reprints Tarmogoyf. Let's say they print it in the 3rd set so it's not in circulation/drafted that often. Let's say they make it a mythic rare.

Would it completely destroy standard? What about dark confidant? Vendillion Clique?

I'm sure they can reprint blazing shoal (lol if they don't ban it) and vesuva w/o breaking the format wide open.
