Shocklands were the exact same except they were just lands not Swamp Forest, etc. would they be as valuable to you?
For me yes bc I don't play modern that much and my standard deck doesn't care about land type.
But what about you guys?
No
They are basically only thing closest to dual lands from revised we will ever get
Being able to tutor them with spells that specify "forest, swamp island etc" is a huge advantage
Once print stops they go back up
So I should hold onto them?
That was a serious question. And also which ones do you think will be worth the most. Like I have a foil of each one for my EDH deck but if I wait till they go out of standard and trade them how much do you they'll be worth?
Lets put it this way: when would they reprint them again.
Yeah, I know. Sorry.
I think shocks usually go up in price slowly over a few years. Because they are used a ton in modern, they should keep value well, especially foils.
I think. I might be completely wrong though, so I'd wait someone else's opinion too.
The closest you'll get to original duals
Ever.

Pretty much this.
As a person heavily invested in original duals I hope these are the closest they ever get to a reprinting.
Also shocklands wouldn't be nearly as good (at least for the majority) if they weren't also two basic land types.

the next time the ravnica plane rolls around. I would think they wouldn't just abandon it. And they're going to have a multi-color two color theme again sometime. So, they will reprint them again. At least I'm 90% sure
Besides, they left the storyline open with the uprising of the gateless. I'm guessing pherexia, sense memnarch had to have gotten the loxodon from ravnica (no other plane has them). Also, that one gateless card that gives angels...ummm...
{urbis protector}, read its flavor text
I'm guessing the
Boros
Selesnya
Golgari
Dimir
And izzet are all infected
The first three are through logical observations. And the last two are to balance out an equal number of colors on both sides, because that's what wizards would probably do
Come to think of it...in the last ravnica block. The golgari, selesnya, and dimir mechanics all had a pherexian feel to them...hmmm...
Yawgmoth is trying to resurrect himself...
It would be pretty cool to have the Phyrexians invade other planes

memnarch had gone to other planes collecting specimens for Mirridon, and he was dripping pherexian oil as he went too

Perhaps there will be a set bringing together multiple planes at once fighting Phyrexians
Return to Ravnica Besieged block thing! It's all coming together now!

I just don't think ravnica will be back for at least 5 years.

And modern still needs them :)

im guessing though at some point, there going to try and get creative with the dual lands, and might not reprint the same ones next time ravnica rolls around
