Snow-covered lands will be random in boosters as well. Checking out the Ask Wizards from today for definite confirmation:

You get a 40 card pack of all snow-covered lands in the Fat Pack. I would guess you would see 8 of each land type. Tis probably implies 4 land artworks, 2 each.

Wonder if they ever thought to do snow-covered dual lands? You know counts as a snow-covered plains and a snow-cover forest. They could have gotten away with it, as the snow covered lands are not basic lands and also doing such would not violate any reprint policy. Also lands like this would not be as powerful as regular duals are being non-basics, but could fill those land slots fairly well for multicolored decks.

Wow...I always thought they were different and non-basic. I looked at the old IA FAQ to check on this and you are correct:psrex wrote:The snow-covered lands are basic lands.
Q: Can Land Tax retrieve snow-covered lands from my library?
A: Effects such as Land Tax, Nature's Lore, and Untamed Wilds can retrieve snow-covered lands from the library.
Learned something new today.
[EDIT}: Then my snow-covered dual lands would be a violation of the reprint policy and thus could never be made.

Well, not really, snow-covered and basic are two different supertypes. The snow-covered basic lands are basic because their rules text says so. They could (and might) print nonbasics that are also snow covered.
Of course, they'll never print anything as powerful as the original dual lands again. Just look at the "new duals" from Ravnica block.
That all said, I'm trying to figure out what the type line of that Snow-Covered Island says. It doesn't look like it says "Snow-Covered Basic Land--Island", which is what its current Oracle text would indicate.

Well given snow-covered basic lands are also considered basic lands, I am trying to understand how snow-covered duals would not be as powerful as original duals. For exmaple, lets say there was a Frozen Taiga made which counted as a Snow-Covered Forest and a Snow-Covered Mountain. Other than the fact that this card could be targeted by any snow-covered effects while a regular dual could not, this small fact is almost irrelevant as hardly anyone would main deck any snow-coverd effects unless they are play IA Block for sure. Thus Snow-Covered duals would be nearly as powerful as the originals unless I am missing some other glaring fact. So techinically snow-covered duals can be printed via sort a loophole. The reason being is that do not violate the re-print policy per say from the simple fact that they are snow-covered basic lands, but are technically as powerful as original duals. Now from a power perspective WOTC would have to be on crack to do so, as they techincally would be blowing the power curve the reprint policy and the Restricted and Banned list were designed for.flatmatt wrote:Well, not really, snow-covered and basic are two different supertypes.
