Some basic lands that are of particular interest for my land box:
The Appa in this land seems dissonant with the rest of the piece, which is probably my biggest complaint, but it's a theme of this Mountain. The lens flare is a bit too much here. I don't think mixing the photo-realistic elements with a more cartoony/painterly look works as well as they'd hoped. The artist is going for too much of a Shinkai-style thing here but they're just shy of actually nailing it to me. That said, this is still lovely, and more importantly, my drafters will go nuts for it. It's making the land box.
I'm a sucker for this style of mountain and this color scheme, and Luc Courtois nails the line between painterly and anime styles. Composition is fantastic. Appa still looks somewhat dissonant here, and it doesn't feel as "Forest-y" as I'd prefer, but this one I like a lot.
Again, these landscapes are all a weird mix of the ATLA house style and attempts of realism, and it just barely works. I think it's a nice Island, but not a shoe-in for the land box, particularly because it could easily be misidentified as a snow-covered one.
I think this is a great Plains, but I worry that if people haven't seen the show they won't be able to tell what they're looking at. Another cusper.
Mountains are the most competitive basics to get in the land box, but this one is extremely dramatic, moody, and shows off a city extremely well. Usually, it's hard for urban environments to make the most of mountains. I'm a big fan, but since my drafters won't like it the same way I do, I'm still unsure if this is making the box.

It'd honestly be really easy to paint over Appa in this one.
OK, why did no one post this card?
On the one hand, it's a goofy-ass card based off of a joke of a side-character. On the other hand, I really like the mini-game the card creates, where it has a pretty strong hatebear effect that villain can interact with without having to aim removal at The Cabbage Merchant. What a surprisingly cool design.
