After acquiring my nearly complete set of pre-sleeved draft lands in Beta... I am thinking about another set. It was after watching Marshall Sutcliff's Ixalan pre-release video.
Specifically this point. He mentions being able to just glance at an opening hand and knowing what land you have, how familiar the lands are. While he talks about having Beta basics, I think I wanted to try a different try.

Three sets of draft lands- full art, beta, and revised.
All ready for my whims. ;)

All Magic sets are black bordered now, that was not always the case. Back
in my day, which is to say when I learned in the 90s, only expansions were black bordered. Core sets were white bordered. Unlimited, revised, 4th edition. It wasn't until 10th edition (2007!) that all frames would be black bordered.
I think it might be fun, to try an all white bordered land set for draft... I might try some revised lands first. (still the WORST printing of all time, in terms of color and vibrancy) Though I am thinking that getting 10 lands of each type, the same image, in Unlimited might be the best compromise in my book. Old school, great quality image, and white bordered.
Side note- you can tell I don't care much for this draft set as I am durdling around with draft land. lol.
