Dragon's Maze (Baseless Speculation and Spoilers)

[Dudecore]

It's that time again.

What we know:

- Dragon's Maze will feature all ten guilds from Ravnica.
- In the prerelease sealed format, players choose their guild and receive a guild pack of the appropriate guild, but it can also support a second guild.
- Each player attending the prerelease receives the same promotional card, which can not be played in the sealed deck (as opposed to the prereleases to Return to Ravnica and Gatecrash).
-Booster packs for Dragon's Maze do not contain basic lands. Instead each booster contains either a Guild Gate, a Shock land, or a mythic rare land from Dragon's Maze in the appropriate ratio of their rarities.
-The Shock lands have the appropriate expansion symbols of Return to Ravnica and Gatecrash, but the Gates are part of Dragon's Maze and have a Dragon's Maze expansion symbol making them part of the set and thus marking the first time cards other than basic lands are printed multiple times within the same block.

Additionally we know
Ral Zarek is the Planeswalker for this small set. What do we know about Ral Zarek?

Ral Zarek is a blue and red-aligned planeswalker native to the city plane of Ravnica and a high ranking guildmage devoted to the Izzet League. While he has ascended, he's managed to hide this fact from Niv-Mizzet, an impressive task in and of itself. Indeed, Ral has never looked to the ancient dragon as a role model or mentor, but as a nuisance at best and a likely adversary at worst. Ral is the chief researcher investigating the ancient codes laid out in the Tenth District, the leylines and secrets that make up the Implicit Maze that so fascinates his guildmaster.

Going izzet or azorius on this one. I just love blue and izzet + boros would kill

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

Each time I see the ral zarek article, I keep wanting him to be dimir over Izzet (don't get me wrong I love Izzet) because he infiltrated Izzet, and that's pretty much what dimirians do... :/

Thoughts???

[Quackmaster5]

Yes bit he is doing it to try and usurp Niv Mizzet bc he believes the guild should be run differently. Niv and Ral always butt heads

What will the intro decks be like?

What will the intro decks be like?

I keep thinking it will be 2 guilds in alliance from different set. 
Like a simic/golgari deck
Boros/Arousi (whatever how you spell it)
Rakdos/Gruul
Etc...

Although you can't have simic/dimir because they were in the same set.

That's just my thought.

This is speculation off how they are going to do the prerelease, I just thought they might reapply the idea to intro decks.

Rurik Thar, the Unbowed is the name for a card.

Hmmm... Well it would go with the mentioned 10 legendary guildees rumours. Which I'd also say is very much a possibility since wizards has acknowledged the public outcry for more EDH generals. Plus it would be bad ass. Nice find. Hope it's true

Oh this should have been on here a long time ago!  This rumor is an old one!  I keep checking but I know we won't have anymore spoilers for awhile.  Do you think leylines will make it in the set? (speculation of ral zarek article.  In which he finds the leylines)

Hmm... Good question. I'm gonna say no since we just had them didn't we? Core set 12? 11?
Hmm not sure actually. Good just be story related. I mean, they really aren't too literal with the story mirroring the cards. Look at Tamiyo... Where the hell does that fit in the Innistrad block?!? -yea yea studying the moon- what a load of bull.

I would love some new Leylines!

Think about it this way.  For some reason there is a badass card that doesn't fit in with the set at all, what do you think will be the one for dragon maze?
