18 photos were just spoiled on Facebook showing art from RtR. Guild leaders, land, a new Gideon and one that many believe is {Dark Confidant}.

I don't think that's Bob. The land artwork sure looks like it could be shock lands or it could just be those stooopid bounce lands like {dimir aqueduct}.
I am betting on enemy duals in the first set and maybe the others in the final set of the block.

Don't say that :( ... I want them to be basic... So they are easy to get.

If it is the bounce lands than rewind become great.

I don't get how it becomes great? You still can't play it earlier than t4. T4 you only get to untap 2 lands...maybe later in the game it would be good since you'd free up 8 mana??
What's wrong with waiting til T4 to rewind (assuming no ramp)
Granted it's really only usefull if you use it with instants or hope they do something on your turn.
Why the hate for the bounce lands? I would love to see them again! But then again, I'm an EDH player, a format where those are staples and the fact that they enter tapped is no big deal.

I love EDH! I was playing it so long, when I played a standard 60 card deck it was really weird to 1) have copies of cards in the deck and 2) not have a commander sitting opposite my deck. Just felt wrong.

Agreed fully. Love the bounce lands.

Bounce lands are awesome. Just bounce a {reliquary tower} and it's alllll good
Plus I love the synergy from dimir aqueduct and my hm hedron crabs. :)

Thats it, i want landfall for 2014 or 2015 if we do get bounce lands. Truthfully i just want hedron crab back.

Given that a cheap counter mana leak is going out just leaves the first 4 turns counter free. Plenty of decks out there can do 10 damage or more by then.

True, but fewer after rotation. I sincerely hope im not allowed to deal a billion damage turn three post rotation, thats just stupid...but fun.
Bounce lands = best target for {wasteland}, {ghost quarter}, {sink hole}.....pick your LD poison. There is my 2 cents.....bounce lands are too slow.....and I prefer fetch lands for my {hedron crabs}.
I dunno I think one of those art pieces looks a LOT like a new {temple garden}
Bounce lands, like pain lands, are inferior to anything that comes into play untapped. Additionally, I doubt very much they're reprinting {Dark Confidant}.
Personally though, I'm not so much worrying about the lands as I am the guild leaders. They can do whatever they want with the lands and I'll be okay with it. I just really want to see what they do with the guild leaders! Pretty excited about that.

Gideon surrounded by fire...Boros? {R}{W} Planeswalker
A friend who was at sdcc said it was pretty much confirmed that gideon will be a boros Planeswalker.
Gideon vs. Jace. Boros vs. Azorius/Dimir/Whoever Jace is aligned with.
I want to see an izzet jace

Jace is standing with Niv-Mizzet in the promo picture, maybe he got caught up with the Firemind? Seems unlikely considering how brilliant Jace is, we'll see.

{Negate}
{Essence Scatter}
T1: {Kraken Hatchling} can slow down a lot of fast decks.
I can see him aligning with Boris but I thought that he was aginst using red magic because of his old master that brought him in when he living on the streets thought him how bad red magic was. Or was his time chasing Chandra chance that?
Jace looks {U}/{W}

He does seem to have more of an Azorius feel about him. And by that I mean annoying. 😜
Trololol

When did jace become interested in white magic?

He wouldn't normally, maybe by being the leader of Azorius, and all the decadence that comes with being in power can prove maybe Order is a good thing.

Ok thank you I'm just hoping they put some story into changing jaces and Gideon's colors. I would stool like some explanation for gid using red.
By the way, this art is AMAZING! I love seeing the characters from Rav in photo-realistic detail.

I KNOW!! I love the art work they they are doing now.
I may or may not actually change colors. I kinda like being all {U}. But I will change flavor I can tell you that..
