Guess the next block

[Birdbrain]

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.

That would be cool

a mechanic for dwarves.
Mining-N
Whenever CARDNAME enters the battlefield. Look at the top N cards of your Library. You may put a land card from that into play. Put the rest at the bottom of your library

That could potentially be way too good.

ok, ok. They come into play tapped. How would you nerf it?

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}

I'm thinking they will stress tri-color, to take advantage of the rediculous amount of dual lands we have in standard.

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

.........Wait, Alara wasn't good? *mindblown*

So, something new that doesn't involve multicolor, hmm? I'm guessing that Kamigawa may be showing up again.

didnt someone say that the pattern is new, old, new, old?

[Frothandslosh]

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.

[Aladormax]

It's kamigawa or some similar plane where tribal is major.

[Hunteroffire9]

I said I think the pattern is new
Old new old.

[Birdbrain]

The theme for the 2014 set is "ignite your spark" so I think that needs to be taken into consideration as well

[All-Mana Mania]

I dont say it is gonna be "borosesque" i think it will be like spartans warriors or something like that. But all i know is that im grtting a booster box for it fo my birthday

wait! Greek/roman culture? Cool. I wish they would do more sets as rich in culture as kamigawa

[All-Mana Mania]

Yea i saw on a website and it is gonna be a greeky type block. The next block is apparently "heuy, dewey and louis" lol that sounds stupid then the next block is "blood,sweat and tears"
