General Details:
> One per calendar month (so Sun sign).
> 5 Lands per Bundle
> 1 Basic Land Type and 1 Art per Bundle.

My thoughts:
> Neat idea, but poorly implemented (or, to be precise, cheaply implemented).
> This would have been so much better if they printed each of the Alpha basic lands (as opposed to Snow and Wastes) with different art for each sign.
> Actually the above would also help with the big question of what colors will get shorted since there are 12 zodiac signs, 5 basic lands, and 12#5 != 0.
> Also holy crap ... that price is ridiculous. 29.99$ for five basic lands of one land type for one sign. Like, it feels like such a narrow market audience (Capricorns who play black in Magic) that I feel they'd just lose money expecting people to pay that much.

Secret Lairs are always the same price and they clearly don't pay MUCH attention to the secondary market value of the cards included, which leads to them having hilariously different values. The basic land drops are terrible value even if they're amazingly pretty (or full-text memes). The praetors was a great deal if you just wanted Praetors because all but Urabrask are over 10 individually and Norn and Vorinclex are over 20, so the secret lair price for all 5 would have been a steal for normal prints.

As for losing money... we don't know what the overhead on art is like, but the drops themselves are basically print on demand so even with a swanky box they probably don't need to move that many units for a SLD to be profitable.

They will probably do two of each colored basic and two Wastes to make it an even 12. No idea if they'll modulate with Snow but if they introduce Snow-Covered Wastes in a bloody astrology secret lair I will be a little miffed.

I'm pretty sure all of these are a waste, actually. :V
