For those that do not follow the spoilers, Onslaught Fetches are getting reprinted in Khans of Tarkir.

I haven't followed lately but I'm not surprised. People had been speculating that this would happen for years now, it was pretty esssential to keep Modern affordable. Good decision on their parts, definitely.

What if i still don't follow?

Fetchlands are a cycle of 10 lands which search your library for another land with one of two basic types (for the cost of 1 life). Example: Misty Rainforest . Do not that they are able to search for dual lands with basic types, such as Volcanic Island and Overgrown Tomb.
First cycle of 5 lands (only allied colors) was printed back in 2002 in Onslaught. They are Legacy staples, played in basically any deck that plays lands. They were not available in Modern.
Second cycle of 5 (enemy colors this time) was printed in 2009 in Zendikar. They are both Legacy and Modern staples, seeing play in all decks. With the rise of popularity of modern and new influx of players, their price skyrocketed recently.

Now, when they print the old fetches now, they WILL be available in modern, and are a kind of a entry card for legacy, so everybody is looking forward to them!

Many did, cuz Urza was freaking brokenly overpowered edition.

I didn't play back than, though. I am a newer player. (I'm here since RTR block  :) )

I started playing around the original Mirrodin block, stopped playing in IRL tournaments and following things actively around Return to Ravnica.

yeah, but did they even have that section back when the thread was made?  I don't know.  I haven't been here that long

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

I haven't been here that long either, but I know. Yes, they did; the oldest posts on that section are older than this.

I'm personally more excited for the new block structure they're implementing in the future.

I find new block structure quite awesome thing and look forward to it but it cannot even compare to...
FETCHES.

It's like what everybody has been waiting for quite a few years now. And we get them. And they are legal in Modern. And its.. FETCHES.

This starts September next year.
No more Core Sets (2016 will be the last one).
Blocks are now two Expansions: one big and one small.
Standard is last 3 blocks.

Fetches aren't that exciting I mean... I suppose I'm an edge case in that I only play Limited and follow the Pro Tour (and sometimes GPs), but it's not like fetches are those super flashy cards. They're powerful and define manabases in every format they're legal in, but not "OMG AWESOME".

Block structure OTOH is also something I'm excited about, especially the no more core sets part, as those are generally very mediocre for drafting.

Yeah, like Teproc I only play Limited and casual, and not even either of those that much. I've been binging on the pro tours recently though and those are fun!

Fetchlands are cool in that they're being reprinted for modern and legacy, since I can complete my playsets (and more people can afford modern), but I wish they didn't have to come through standard to do so.  I think they're bordering on too good and are annoying to deal with, since adding 5 shuffles into a game really does slow it down.

Fetches are exciting because they are way too expensive, and now they'll still be way too expensive, but slightly more reasonable.

This is why when I did play, I did just Limited - the upfront $100+ you have to spend for a manabase wasn't worth it to me.

I don't think they are too good in Standard environment, where you can only fetch basics.
Courser of Krupix is going to be more bonkers than already is, though.

Guys, I missed this thread the first time around! I've recently (Gatecrash) become super into Magic. I draft every week, but don't really play constructed other than Commander. good stuff.

FWIW, I play mostly Modern and Standard. Draft/Sealed when I got cash for the boosters, Cube whenever we get enough people and EDH here and there.

I play mostly Modern (I don't know anything about the format but I play a UR Ninja Faeries deck and it's been pretty successful so far) and limited on magic-league and casual constructed IRL, I think the block thing is interesting and the fetch land reprint isn't very. I used to play Legacy competitively IRL, but then I got perma-banned from MTGSuomi which was the best platform to be in the know about upcoming tournaments, and sold my deck.

In this new Theros Standard I've started with Black Devotion, but as prices went astronomical after somebody won a GP I pretty much sold everything sans Thoughseizes.
Since then I've pretty much played a different deck every two weeks or so, and went to WMCQs with Rabble Red which I find pretty damn awesome.

In Modern I've used to played Dredgevine and 4-color Gifts in the past, but now am back to Gruul Zoo (No Goyf, splash white for Nacatls) and it kicks some major ass.

I had some Magic cards once. I liked the blue ones. I had a Polar Kraken. It made me happy.

I've resumed playing MtG.  I've been playing casual games using an old tier3 standard deck from an old standard against current six set standard decks but its fun.  Planning to participate in the khans prerelease and start collecting cards again.
