Battle for Zendikar block is no longer the latest cool drafting format. None of these lands are no longer playable in Standard. This means that supply is at a peak and demand is at a low.
There are two types of expeditions that are very interesting to me; Shockland and the ONS Fetchlands.
Shocklands
Shockland prices have not yet come out of the hole the reprint in RTR block dug for them. Have no doubt, without a second reprint they surely will.
When they do I would rather have the full-art EXP versions than the Ravnica blocks versions.
Here is a comparison showing EXP Watery Grave holding its value while GTC Watery Grave is still dropping.

Fetchlands
I am not touching the ZEN Fetchlands (Arid Mesa, Scalding Tarn, Misty Rainforest, Marsh Flats and Verdant Catacombs) with a ten foot pole at this point due to risk of reprint. If these are reprinted they stand to lose 75-90% of their value instantaneously.
So to be really clear here I am talking about only the original ONS/KTK Fetchlands; Flooded Strand, Polluted Delta, Bloodstained Mire, Wooded Foothills and Windswept Heath.
Here is an example of a KTK Fetchland taking off while the EXP has not yet really gone up that much.
I think all the EXP allied Fetchlands are excellent buys right now.

As with any MTG Finance advice, use your own judgment and please remember to never invest too heavily in any single thing on MTGO and use only money you can afford to lose.
