[Prophylaxis]

I've noticed quite a few threads about this, so I will gather it all up and sticky for convenience.

Koopa from MTGSalvation:

Thoughts on the MTG Panel:

FTV: Realms:
They spoiled Urborg, Tomb of Yagomth; Glacial Chasm; Grove of the Burnwillow; Forbidden Orchard; and Dryad Arbor.

I was unimpressed until I saw the Arbor. WHICH IS BEAUTIFUL! (looking for a picture right now) Like crazy beautiful... It has a Modern frame (the regular frame, not future sight), has the color indicator that they used on the "night side" of werewolves, and the text box... nothing. Just the Green symbol used on Basic Forest.

Commander Arsenal:
No more premium decks... oh no I don't care.
A commander product every year Commander sets? Score. Thumbs up.

Duel Decks: Golgari vs Izzet:
We get the name, type, and manacost of the Golgari Legend... nobody cares, give me a little more so I care.

Return to Ravnica, Gatecrash, and "Sinker".

Oh wow, lots of information here... basically all upside.

First, guilds coming back. This was obvious but it's good to hear it's happening as this is yet another hint at Shocks coming back. RtR will have Izzet, Azorious, Rakdos, Selesnya, and Golgari. With Simic, Gruul, Boros, Orzhov, and Dimir being in Gatecrash. All guilds have new keywords. The guilds watermarks are slightly changed, but still easy to identify.

Second, this is a Ravnica block, so no planar jumping as was speculated before.

Third. The set cycle will be Big-Big-Small. So come fall you will draft RtR, RtR, RtR. In winter, you will draft Gatecrash, Gatecrash, Gatecrash. Then come Spring, you will draft Return to Rav, Gatecrash, "Sinker" (but in reverse order obv). This is cool.

At the prerelease, you get to choose your guild. So come the Return to Ravnica Prerelease, I could choose say Izzet (which I will) and I will get the following:

-5 Return to Ravnica packs.
-A Guild pack of your guild with 15 cards of those colors.
-Promo prerelease card (which there will be 5 promos for Return and Gateway, one for each guild.)
-Guild spindown.
-Guild sticker.
-A letter from your guild leader and...
-A Prerelease challenge card.

This is all good except the fact that you get to also play with your prerelease card, which will be an auto-include in everyone's deck.

Also, there are two PW in RtR. One is Jace.
In Gatecrash, the tagline is "Fight for your guild" and Gideon is confirmed to be one of the two PW in that set. All hints and the picture of him scream he will be Boros.

Funny part. MaRo asked what the most important thing in Ravnica was and the audience screams "Shocklands!" of which Maro replies... "Yea and Guilds..."

Anyway, I was very impressed. Good panel overall.
