In reply to Jason Schousboe. brain fart on lotus vale, thought it added the same type of mana as scorched ruins. Thawing glaciers doesn't tap for colorless but it still searches out Wastes since it counts as a basic land.

In reply to Justin. Lotus Value and Thawing Glaciers don't tap for colorless, fwiw.

In reply to Justin. I will definitely cover all those (and many others) in the EDH/Legacy part (I had to split it up because I realized EDH would likely span an article's worth of content alone), I definitely agree with Tron pieces (though Expedition map was reprinted in MM2 already), I could see them reprinting Ancient Stirrings in Oath (as it was previously in Rise and the ability to semi-search for colorless things seems like it'd fit in the future standard).

As far as lands go, you missed these:

Terrain Generator

Lotus Vale

Thawing Glaciers

Myriad Landscape

I don’t think there’s a ton to speculate on in terms of Standard and Modern, though I like picking up Tron pieces (aside from Ancient Stirrings,Chromatic Star and Expedition Map, as I feel like they have a chance at a reprint), as well as anything that can fit into a potental Eldrazi Ramp deck in Standard (the two colorless lands, pain lands, From Beyond, Part the Waterveil, Ulamog, Hedron Archive, Conduit of Ruin, Crumble to Dust).

I think there’s more potential movement for EDH – and to a lesser extent – Legacy (MUD, 12 Post pieces).
