Where can Wizards go in regards to new nonbasic lands? It seems like they've done everything there is to do. Lands that become creatures, painlands, lands that make more than one color... What do you guys look for when Wizards announces a new rare landcycle, and what makes or breaks a rare (or possibly mythic) land?

I hope for painlands every single time :(

But what else does WotC have the option to print that they haven't printed already? We have lands that deal us damage in exchange for mana, lands that tap and damage/effect the opponent, and lands that can become creatures.

I'd personally like to see some ETB effects on lands, like they had in Zendikar with nonbasics like {Teetering Peaks}.

I want to see lands that have more spell interaction, or things like {cathedral of war}, things with card effects... Or something that like could sac to copy an instant spell or something cool

Lands that produce pherxian mana I spending 2 life

Who cares about new nonbasics?  I just want better art full arts!  Basics are where the real gems are! 

I doubt we'll see Mirrodin again so soon.  I doubt we'll even see Zendikar again that soon.  However, I could see them bringing back Scars style lands

Would love full art lands again... I was really hoping that dragon's maze would feature them - it made sense to me that they might, considering the massive popularity of Ravnica and the gorgeous art throughout the set... But then they announced The maze has no basics whatsoever, sooooo probably not gonna have full art basic Ravnica lands in it, huh? :P

Oh wow, full art Ravnica lands would be so good.  I still like the Ravnica basics over the Unhinged/Zendikar full arts.  Suddenly I don't want Dragon's Maze anymore :P

I think the next block will either be a return to Alaria or Zendikar

It'll be neither of those

More like   {Urza's Tower} and  {Urza's Power Plant}. I'd love it

Something like that would be great. Probably something along the lines of:

{T}: Add {1} to your mana pool. If you control a Forest and a Mountain, add {R}{G} to your mana pool instead.
