Title: Guess the next block
Post by: All-Mana Mania on February 18, 2013, 05:56:39 PM
What do you guys think the bext block will be after rtr ends. I think they are going to make like more shards of alara for like {b}{w}{r} etc

I'd like to see them revisit Zendikar.  Maybe another Ice plane.

they will not revisit multicolor any sooner than four years after the last multicolor block. MaRo said it was a mistake doing alara so soon after ravnica

Personaly. I hope they revisit kamigawa and do it right. I loved the idea, but the cards were seriously underpowered. Henceforth referred to as wimps or weenies. Although. Homelands had more wimps than kamigawa. So I doubt they would revisit that plane a third time.

Well i mean a mini-set of the best planeswlakers and add some new planeswalkers.

Post by: Birdbrain on February 18, 2013, 07:25:24 PM
You would need to add creatures...that support planeswalkers. And other planeswalker support cards. That's what happens when you add something to a set. Support cards follow

Ok then. A mostly planeswalker set. With like 10-20 of the greatest and new planeswalkers with big creature and other cards to support them. Better? Lol

I'd like to see a steam punk plane. Maybe they could have the phryxans (please excuse the gross misspelling). Though this time, actually have the phryxans fought off. It's a little sad mirridon got taken over. I hope it comes back. Though this plane would be very different than mirridon
Title: Re: Guess the next block
Post by: Frothandslosh on February 19, 2013, 12:50:19 PM
Hmm... So the last few planes have been:
Land-based (Zendikar)
Artifact-based (Mirrodin/Phyrexia)
Good vs. Evil (Innistrad)
Cityscape (Ravnica)

I'd expect something tribal coming back in 2014.

The land would probably have to go to your hand, otherwise it's just land Cascade.

I did mean to put basic land instead of land. And you only get one. If you mined for 3. And got two forest and a mountain. Guess what? Only one goes into play. And no other triggers happen. I only say this to clarify so you can make proper judgements on this mechanic

And I think I know what the next multicolor block will be. Bridge colors (I think that's what there called) I mean stuff like {U}{G}{R} and {R}{W}{U}

No. In head designer Mark Rosewaters article, he said they won't do multi-color until four years after the last multi-color block. Alara was a failed experiment with pushing this barrier

Considering the codenames of the next block's sets are "Friends", "Romans", and "Countrymen", we may be seeing some sort of Boros-esque militia plane.

Huey, Dewey, and loui??? Arnt they Scrooge mc. Ducks nephews? Makes me think of multi-color since the only thing separating them is there colors (red, green, and blue respectively. Don't rember which is which.)
Although MaRo said that they won't do multi color untill four years after the last multi color block. So I don't know.

And I'm really looking forward to another culture rich block!

Anything involving the Planeswalker Spark always intrigues me. What I've really wanted is a villain that steals unignited Sparks, and absorbs them into his own.

I see a new place.
Friends go to a new place. maybe some old planeswalkers. chandra? garruk? ajani? with Swords, shields, war, slaves, darkness and more. Then i say there becomes too bad of a war and stuff here and there. The city is destroyed ruins and everything. There are a still a lot if people living. Third set is they start heading out to find new shelter. Camps for days and possibly finds this secret temple/cathedral/castle and then the final battle commences and after that the set would end.

See:
Dishonored

That game is loaded with steampunk-esque things.  You can just look at in-game pictures and get a feel for it probably.

victorian-esqe futurism. Everything looks/is described like it was made between the industrial revolution and World War One. It's also saturated (at least in some areas) with British culture.

The time machine by H.G wells is an example of steampunk. And Jewels Vern's 20,000 leagues under the sea was early steam punk as well.

I could come up with other examples, but I'd be going on and on for pages. Lol

I think it would be cool to do an Ice Age-esque block next. Not necessarily exactly like Ice Age. Just a more primitive block. We're on Ravnica now, which is a largely populated city the size of the plane itself. It would be sweet if the next one was densely populated. Very small tribes and even outcasts or individuals living out in the wild. Innistrad struck me as being a very basic block in the feel of things. Well I'd like to go even more basic than that.

MaRo confirmed long ago that the "Friends" block will be something completely new.  As to what it is... I really want to see a plane subject to hyperevolution, but I doubt that will happen because of the Simic in Ravnica.  Your guess is as good as mine.

Couple of things NOT to expect:
- a "return" to something.
- a multi-colored block: MaRo stated that in retrospect Alara didn't do well because people were tired of multi-color from Lorwyn super block.
- a tribal block: Innistrad was arguably a tribal block, we're just about to leave too.
- the "code names" to give you any information about the set. Listen to Mark Rosewater's podcast about code names. "Friends", "Romans" and "Countrymen" won't be a Roman themed block.

We will see what happens, but MaRo said it was a new world, won't be multi-color and that he's very excited to show everyone. This is year 3 of the 7 year plan. So far it contains the 2 highest selling blocks in the history of the game Innistrad and Return to ravnica

Where do you hear about the new block?
Title: Re: Guess the next block
Post by: Dudecore on March 03, 2013, 09:52:08 AM
Mark Rosewater has a blog (here (http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/)) he answers questions, talks about what he can talk about (he can't talk about what he can't talk about), gets hit by buses (a bit inside humor) and does a good job of explaining all of the aspects of the game. It's a daily must read for me. I've even had him answer some questions.

Edit: he hasn't explicitly talked about the new block. But over the year he's been making mention of things like back-to-back multicolored blocks, he did a podcast about how codenames have absolutely no bearing on the actual set.

Additionally, ComicCon is tomorrow right? We will likely get some information then. Wizards has a panel, they probably won't waste the opportunity. In the past they've always announced the fall set sometime in Spring. Take that as you will.

How about the next block after Theros? I am hoping for Zendikar, Kamigawa or Lorywyn. Mark has been hinting at another new set though.

That would be super sweet if they bring back Eldrazi with Emrakul, Kozilek, and Ulamog as plainswalkers.

Has anyone given any thought to a set in the present time?Not the present today but the present like early 60's to early 90's.I know it sounds lame,but think about it:

Bigfoot {2}{G}{G}{U}

Trample,Reach,Hexproof

When Bigfoot enters the battlefield, return target human target player controls on top of his or her library.
