Title: Return to Ravnica
Post by: Bernardcs on August 17, 2012, 12:05:29 PM
What do you guys think we will have in RtR?

I know that's almost a fortuneteller's job, but let's make our bets.

Also, in all the speculations that ive been reading, every1 thinks BW tokens is going to be crazy. Probly only after gatecrash though, cuz thats where orzhov is. But yeah. Every1 is saying stock up on isolated chapels and lingering souls

Scavenge gives us some good insight. It shows us that there wont be many (if any) creatures capable of ending the game on their own as infect creatures are capable of right now. The other thing it alludes to is that combat is going to be tricky, this could be do to heavy spot removal (which would explain the lack of core set removal), combat modifiers like {lightmine field} or {hellkite charger}. I dont know which of these will be more true, but allowing this ability to be around with innistrad's heavy aggro meta leads me to these conclusions. All powerful abilities must have weakness, so if you really want to speculate, figure out how they would present the weaknesses of each guilds's mechanic.

I think they will considering m13 has a lot of cards that specify a certain land type. Like the new liliana pulls swamps, arbor elf came back instead of llanowar, and I think the biggest give away is {farseek}

Gideon will likely be in gatecrash. Its been all but officially confirmend that hes RW and boros is in gatecrash. So, the evidence shows that he will most likely be a gatecrash guy

There is only one reason they would reprint shock lands. To nerf both the price and power of modern decks. Yes it might as well be confirmed that dual basic type lands are back, but there is no reason they need to be shock lands except that printing a new type would give some modern decks too much power of mana base.

Boros IS RW :P also, it actually is confirmed officially..., that and the fact that RtR will have 2 walkers and 1 is Jace. And, in many interviews RnD members have alluded to the fact that they like 6 being a magic number in standard, and although they aren't reprinting the titans, they are getting a replacement 6 drop set

Theme? Well... There are 5 guilds each with two set colors, each has it's own theme and new mechanic. At the prerelease sealed event, you get 5 packs, and pick A guild, your 6 th pack is from that guild.
