Title: Dragon Maze anticipation!
Post by: Fenster on February 07, 2013, 07:14:13 AM
What are you looking forward too in Dragon Maze?
Personally im curious what legendaries we might get thats not guildleaders!

Personaly, I'm looking forward to gruul. One of the flavor text on one of the cards really hit a nerve. And it's just, the more I read about the gruul, the more it creates a longing in me that makes me wish I was one. It's not the whole rampaging destroying stuff. It's the subtler points in the gruul descriptions that are really hitting nerves...

Didn't mean to get emotional there

Its all good!

Any heads up on where the story is going?
My guess is either an all out war between guilds but that'd be rather boring.

Dream scenario: The guildless rise up with some sort of offworld/divine/unnatural power and the guilds will have to join up to fight it.

Oddball scenario: Rise of The Guildrazi?

Have any one heard same rumors as me that in Dragon Maze the will reprint all shocklands and instead of basic land there will be guildgate in each booster?

I have it from some serious source but stil cannot believe it...:(

It's confirmed, there will be no basics but the chances of pulling the lands is about 50-75% harder, they will be in dragons maze but aren't supposed to show up in every other pack.

At first glance i read "There will be dragons in a maze" and i was like, thats a stupid plot, until i read again ;D

Im just excited to see what that mythic rare land will be. I hope its not a lame mythic like that one from Avacyn Restored (looking at you, {helvault}...)

Edit: Dark Ascension. It's still a lame card.

I can imagine a possible way that land is....

Terraforming Plane

Legendary Land - Forest Island Mountain Swamp Plains

Terraforming Plane is indestructible.
Whenever Terraforming Plane is tapped, add two mana of any color combination to you mana pool. Terraforming Plane deals 2 damage to you.

Add some sort of "Enters tapped unless X" and it might happen ;D

There's a land in RtR that lets you tap it for any kind of mana. Think they'll do something like that again?

{Transguild promenade}. I can see them printing something like that, that can be {farseek}'d or fetched.

The reprinted shocks will be printed with either a GTC or RTR set symbol respectively.

Over on  it has been confirmed that the mythic land will have a  {Thawing Glaciers} type effect and will have something about if you have 10 or more gates, you win the game. (http://forums.mtgsalvation.com[/url)

Title: Re: Dragon Maze anticipation!
Post by: Rasser on February 08, 2013, 12:06:59 AM
I think it will have something to do with guild gates. Maybe something like guild gates don't come into play tapped
Guild gates add 2 mana of any combination they could produce.
Title: Re: Dragon Maze anticipation!
Post by: Double-O-Scotch on February 08, 2013, 01:25:32 AM
If you control 5 or more gates, creatures can't attack you?

Post by: Stoneco1d869 on February 08, 2013, 06:10:26 AM
Just found on Internet that the mythic land will be a win effect card. Probably something like if you control all guild gates, you win the game.

I'm hoping this is wrong, but thought I would share. Set is going to be extremely small too.
Title: Re: Dragon Maze anticipation!
Post by: Fenster on February 08, 2013, 10:25:06 AM
How big do you think DM will be?
I mean to fit in spells from all guilds with all keywords?

Are they counting the shock lands and gates in that?

A land is considered a gate if it has the words:

Land— Gate

on it's typeline, so shocks are not gates.

He means if the gates and shocklands that will be included in Dragon maze packs are included in the sets card pool or if they will stand outside the 156 cards.

It is confirmed that there is only one walker in Gatecrash, and it is almost definitely Ral Zarek.

Post by: xStrayKnightx on February 10, 2013, 09:56:57 PM
If the set's a small one, I imagine they'd print less Rares and MRares, don't you? There's a certain ratio, isn't there?

As for plot, I personally think that whatever Niv-Mizzet's researching has something to do with the Planeswalker Spark; like maybe trying to fabricate it and activate his own?
I hope there's only one Planeswalker in this set; having two in a set smaller than 249 cards seems a bit...extravagant.
