The art was cool and the foils were very pretty.

Wedge tri-lands, my fiancé has competition for my love now lol.

Yeah my guess is we get panoramas or trilands at common or uncommon in addition to a rare cycle of lands.

 {Exotic Orchard} is the only Rare land we got in Alara block...

I'm just saying that the only predecessor (if you can call it that) had no tri-lands in a rare slot.

I dont think we will see rare trilands either, just some kind of rare lands.

Like "enters tapped. Taps for whatever color?"

They mentioned they were bringing in a time spiral block card. I think it's going to be {Fortune Theif}. She fits the flavour of the block and one of the returning mechanics. What does everyone else think?

So I'm curious are the Intro decks gonna be Wedge themes?

Dude... That's almost the silliest question ever.
Nope. Mono Color intros in a wedge set!

Intro decks are a terrible product. I wish they'd conceive of something else. They aren't for beginners because they're absolutely horrid Rares you don't want to build around, and the 2 boosters might not even improve the thing. They should at least consider calling them "Bulk Card Decks".

If wizards put maybe 2 alt art foil cards in them, they could maybe trick collectors into picking it up.

Intro packs and Deck builder's Toolkit are pretty bad products if you ask me. At least with the toolkit you can feel like you're assembling your own deck, even if it is pretty weak. Intro decks feel like someone stole $13 from you.

i disagree. Intro decks are perfect for te people who want a casual but SOMEWHAT good deck to play against. Intro decks are what you buy along with a case of beer and play around with. The 2 packs negate essentially 8 bucks from he cost. So you end up paying 7$ For a reduced power deck, not a douchey cut throat standard deck.

they are a great INTRODUCTION product for new players. Sure they might not win but it gets there foot in the magic pool. And if you want to start a game with friends who havent played before you can all buy intro decks and mess around.
