I will not waste my money on the set. Theme decks, could be cool. Wait and see, I suppose. The last basic set I bought was 4th edition. I'd rather buy them for 5 cents.
Basic lands suck.
I'd rather have the common. We don't need to pull yet more useless dupe cards from the packs. Even the 6th Starter Kit included two 40 card decks. It couldn't be more obvious that WotC is scaling back on costs a bit. Now if they want to include a basic FOIL LAND, then maybe that would work, but certainly not replacing any of the other cards for it, just tack it on and have 16 card boosters.
