Let's compare them through a visual aid. Urza's Saga Basic Lands  Unhinged Basic Lands  Based on the photos, the Urza's Saga Lands are great sketches, as shown by the "spike details" of the landscape. On the other hand, the Unhinged lands are "smooth drafts" as they portray a real feel of the landscape. Nonetheless, I believe that the Unhinged lands are far better than the Urza's Saga ones, mainly because of their overall appeal that offers a "broader fantasy" of such a Plain/Island/Swamp/Mountain/Forest. Hence the Unhinged lands have a better artwork, and perhaps have the best land artwork in Magic.

Unhinged, Bar none but I also like the Mirrodin and Kamigawa lands, never really played with anything but forest though, so maybe the other 4 from those sets suck lol.

Any other opinions for lands I understand the appeal that the Zendikar, Unhinged, and Unglued lands give being a much larger and broader image in comparison to the half picture lands that normal basic lands give. With full arts aside my favorite land is the metallic looking lands of Mirrodin. Currently playing Standard RW Humans

Excluding nonbasics, my... Favorites: Beta, Portal, Odyssey, Mirrodin, Lorwyn. Notes: Foil Lorwyn lands are pretty boss. Least favorites: Time Spiral, Kamigawa (excluding the mountains), Innistrad. Notes: One time I photoshopped a couple pictures of swamps from Time Spiral and replaced the art with the art of plains from the same set, then showed these pictures to a friend who hadn't kept up with MTG for years. He couldn't tell the art was actually from a plains. __________  Worthless Koridian! You must be HARDENED with fire! GO, and KILL!

The New Phyrexia lands are my favorite of the Mirrodin-style ones. The "inside the core" view for Island, Swamp, and Forest are especailly cool looking. Outside of that and the full-art lands, I think the Ravnica lands are great.
