Flame Dragon Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 At the MTG panal at comic con we some more info about the set and block. 1) First, guilds are back. RTR has: Azorius Rakdos Selesnya Izzet Golgari The second set, Gatecrash, is a second large set and has: Orzhov Boros Simic (guild leader is a Merfolk, so yes, the folk are in the block too) Dimir Gruul The third set will than have all 10 guilds and will be a small set. 2) The draft format will go Fall: RTR, RTR, RTR Winter: Gate, Gate, Gate Spring: 3rd set, RTR, Gate (If memory serves) 3) Each guild will have its own keyword Izzet: Overload: Pay overload cost to change card text from target to each. Golgari: Scavenge: Pay Scavenge cost and remove the creature to add +1/+1 counters = to its power. Rakdos: Unleash: Can come into play with +1/+1 counter but losses ability to block. Selesnya: Populate: Put a copy of a creature token you control on to your field. Azorious: Target permanent's activated abilities can't be activated and (if it's a creature) it can't attack or block until your next turn. 4) At the prerelease you pick a guild and that determins -The 6th pack you get -The spindown dice you get -The prerelease promo you get Also, that promo IS playable at the event. The only problem with wanting October to get here faster is that school starts up again. But still, that seems like a fair trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Rai Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Oh, and: f*** f*** f*** f***. Mind overload. 1. 4 of the guilds have new guild symbols. [b]Izzet[/b]'s symbol has an even bigger crown around Niv-Mizzet's head, [b]Rakdos[/b] has an updated symbol, presumably because of an upcoming new leader, [b]Golgari[/b]'s new one is just simply cool, and so is [b]Gruul[/b]'s.

Or what is presumably land art. There are some others, but they're pretty big to post all of them. 3rd one looks like Watery Grave.

Simping For Hina Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Just to have a little fun, how about we all pick one Guild. We make a deck based on that guild too. Like follow the rules of commander for modern. We use the Guild Leaders. We can only use the Colors that Guild Leader is. Then have like a little tourney.

[/quote] It doesn't matter if you pick Izzet at the RTR prerelease, you can still end up building a G/W deck for example. Also, the code name for Gatecrash is GTC (I was going to write that yesterday, but something seemed off about the latter combo for a MTG set, I just noticed now that is a pokemon short hand, lol). Also, all the names of the guild leaders HAVE been announced. Just watch the MTG panal to hear them. If no one else posts them, I'll likely end up doing it tonight.

Totally taking Izzet guild. [/quote] Try Spell Pierce, but yea, close enough. Based on how the charm is set up I'm going to assume that the effects will be an effect in each color than an effect they shair. Anyway, my thoughts on the other cards. Overloard's wording seems off, and while the reminder text makes it clear it still seems strange to read. Card itself is great in limited. Scavenge seems like a meh ability. Still if its on good creatures it should end up being used. I know this might be playable. Guildmage is sweet and the ones to come will likely be just as sweet. Goblin is really good. The legend is ok. Not something I'm really interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Rai Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I'm so hyped for this. So, so hyped. Also, loving the fact we're getting 10 pseudo-Alara charms. And Overload is an amazing mechanic. It's like the {X} cost Miracles, but not luck-based. Edit: Goblin Electromancer's Common? Unless any other guilds get amazing cards like that, I'm pretty sure who has the best early game during draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
