Three different versions of fetchlands coming in MH2.

Zermu(04.11.2020 19:46)

Last time they reprinted fetch lands was on khans and after that wizard told us that it was mistake and they will never reprint fetch lands on "normal" set

OldbutFresh(08.12.2019 14:09)

Scalding tarn is slowly dropping in value.
Is that because of a growing fear of a coming reprint? Or is the need for it not as desperate anymore?

Lathiel777(09.08.2015 21:49)

Doesn't mean to say that they wont be printed in the set that follows Battle For Zendikar...

MetalF(06.08.2015 17:28)

According to MaRo there will be a cycle of lands in BFZ which will NOT be the fetches. Causing today's spike of all ZEN fetches.

Metillon(05.08.2015 22:02)

There will be no reprint of this card in Battle for Zendikar (Just confirmed at blogatog).

Closed-Cardmarket-Account-68262(27.05.2015 11:18)

Fetchlands have provided us players with a brand new way of deckbuilding: Wastelands are not what they used to be. Multicolor decksdecks are easier to build. Thinning out our deck makes a difference, let alone the way it's boosted Brainstorm

manavaultgames(15.05.2015 09:24)

Seeing what Wizards has done with the Splinter Twin and Vendillion Clique reprints on MM15, and given the increase in market availability for Modern, there is a HIGH chance of Fetches being reprinted in Battle for Zendikar, meaning the price of this card will be going down to the 5-15€ range.

thechrom(07.05.2015 22:52)

There's a lot of speculation about zendikar fetches because people predict it's gonna be released again very very soon.

The New Face of Blue-Red in Modern: Regent, Ragavan, Rage

By Skura (2021-07-15)

Modern Monkey Goes B/R

By Rone (2021-07-13)

Top 5 Cards That Should See More Play in Modern

By Skura (2021-02-01)

Modern is a vast format with dozens upon dozens of viable archetypes. To me, it's the most diverse, fun, stimulating, and overall best format in Magic. However, people sometimes tunnel vision on a narrow subset of cards that they keep playing over and over again and forget the cards that need exploring.

Modernizing Gifts Storm with Modal Double-Faced Cards

By Andifeated (2020-10-12)

The New Scourge of Modern

By ElonThragtusk (2020-10-07)

Field of the Dead in Modern

By Skura (2020-09-22)

Zendikar Rising Spotlight: Sea Gate Stormcaller in Legacy

By Andifeated (2020-09-08)

Legacy has long been defined by its powerful instants and sorceries for one mana or less. The best threats in this format often take advantage of decks full of those spells. Zendikar Rising brings us another such interaction, a new creature that has the potential to make it big in Legacy.

Zendikar Rising Spotlight: Jace, Mirror Mage in Legacy

By Andifeated (2020-08-31)

The Legacy format was shaken by cheap planeswalker cards in 2019, with a bunch of story-relevant characters pushed onto overpowered cards. Jace has long been deprived of the throne. The new three-mana version from Zendikar Rising may not change that, but the card is definitely worth a look.

BUG Control in Modern

By Skura (2020-08-13)

Let's look at why you should empty your warrens in 2020.

Transmogrify in Standard and Modern

By ElonThragtusk (2020-07-22)

Polymorph is back in a Standard-legal set, but in a new form. It's now red and exiles a creature rather than destroying it with no possibility of regeneration. That's it. The rest is completely the same. So, what does this mean for the whackier end of deck design in Standard and Modern?

Slinging Spells in Standard and Modern Izzet Tempo

By ElonThragtusk (2020-07-15)

Recent sets, such as Ikoria and Core Set 2021 impacted the metagames of multiple formats, but they also made way for some interesting non-meta strategies. One of the most prominent candidates is Izzet Spells, a tempo deck that can be easily tuned to become an aggro and/or even a budget deck.

Yorion, Sky Nomad Rises in Modern

Why You Too Should Play European Highlander

By Ratix (2020-01-06)

Bad Excuses for Not Building a Cube

By SanchoN (2020-01-03)
