I love this in the first article:

What does bother me is a more subtle problem with the card distribution. Initially, players will be hungry for more land cards. Lands are essential-- without them, you're helpless to do anything in the game. Eventually you'll have more than enough land for virtually any deck configuration, but you'll still not have all possible spells. But if you buy more cards, you're going to get lots of "useless" land, too-- essentially wasting some of your money. I don't mind the inherent risk of getting cards I already own, but getting lands isn't a risk-- it's a certainty. I'd be much happier if I could buy Boosters which had no land at all.
and this in the second

...Magic: Ice Age is also in production. The latter will be an entirely new set of cards using the same game system as The Gathering, but will be a completely separate game unto itself.
