Yeah, there's going to be a bunch of difference characteristics with land. It's pretty detailed. There will be common, rare, epic, and legendary lands. Some land will be 'Magical', some 'Occupied' with monsters to kill...

Right now there are 'claims' that are likely much like claims for booster packs that you then 'open' to reveal what's inside.

Really it seems like a whole new game inside a game all linked together! I'm very excited about it if you can't tell ;).
