well,about the history,i think they are going to use jace potter,you know,because kids looooove planeswalkers and here i rule things. and for all the ones who are complaining about mirrodin,¿dont you see? ¿remember future sight?.¿you remember right? just remember this cards.and think. we all know that another mirrodin set will come,you know,because of darksteel garrison and steamflogger boss. but think,just think. if mirrodin is the next set,¿what will come then?,maybe dominaria again,maybe another snow plane,maybe a continuation for ravnica(that will be great) maybe even will see the power of muraganda,and obviously,tarmogoyf. all future cards we all se,will be printed,so,just think about it. leave the standard if you like,but im only going to leave magic when they make something idiot like print that sixth color(well,if is brown again maybe not XD,but i dont see what could represent).

I left during Darksteel mostly because I got out of college and didn't have time/interest to play. Does anybody have a synopsis of what went down during Mirrodin?

Going back to mirrodin is cool, but PLEASE LEAVE AFFINITY OUT. 8)
Everyone moaning about affinity.
No one ever called for Frogmites banning, or Myr Enforcer. Affinity wasn't the power house in that deck it was the Desciple of the Vault/Ravenger interaction. Affinity happened to be on some of the cards.
Everyone hates affinity, but the most hated card in the deck had Modular, a mechanic mostly no one cares about.

I was just telling one of my friends that Magic should go back to Kamigawa or Mirrodin, and what happens? they go back to Mirrodin, I swear, Magic has a spy network in my head....

I loved Mirrodin block, just not how imbalanced/extreme it went, I am looking forward to going back to see what has happened.
I'm going to the other side here and saying I really like Affinity for the incredible synergy that each card in the deck has for each other, so much synergy that it does become imbalanced if not checked by turn four maybe five. To paraphrase MaRo, too much synergy in this case was/is a bad thing; however, the Johnny/Spike in me just does not care, I get to smash face and WIN.
I think the truly broken power comes from those innocent looking artifact lands... without those lands Affinity would not have been a true powerhouse. The interaction of Disciple of the Vault and Arcbound Ravager, while overpowered, was not broken unless you have a bunch of Artifact Lands to sacrifice. If you don’t believe me that Artifact Lands are the key, just try playing extended Affinity right now with only basic lands, Glimmervoid, and Blinkmoth Nexus for your mana base. This gutted version of Affinity might still be a playable deck but it will never be anything close to a tier one worthy powerhouse.
Cheers,

Having originally been certain, before MaRo confirmed it, that Steamflogger Boss had to be a joke card because I could see no possible Contraption mechanic that wouldn't break in half or simply not function if you were able to double it with a static effect...I have now come around and think MaRo told a fib, that in fact Contraptions were the plan all along! Why else return to Mirrodin if not to show off its intelligent, crafty Warcraft-esque goblins?

Ugh. Not a fan of Mirrodin (or of artifact blocks for that matter).
Mirrodin block was when I started learning to draft. Contrary to popular belief, Mirrodin is NOT a good set to teach beginners how to draft. Understanding the color pie, understanding how to pick the best card *for your deck* (which generally includes color considerations) rather than the best card out of a pile, and the basics of color signalling are way too important in drafting. Instead, I spent weeks picking cards that looked powerful from a glob of artifacts without rhyme or reason or consideration of what a good draft deck should even look like.
It wasn't until Kamigawa block that I actually started understanding the basics of drafting. And it was because we had a color scheme that actually made sense.

I am actually really excited about this. R&D has grown a lot since the release of Mirrodin, so we should be getting a much better set this time around. All of the awesome flavor of Mirrodin minus all of the poorly executed broken stuff. Sounds good to me.

no, I never liked beakman, if it must be anything, it must be Nye. Yet i still contend that it is also nigh.
and yeah, the expansion symbo looks like geometry wars doesn't it, haha.

If I were to guess, this will just be Mirrodin's leftovers, some artifacts, and a bunch of colorless stuff to link with RoE.
Leftovers? Meaning cards they didn't print for whatever reason the first time around? On a plane that was left pretty much vacant and devoid of life? Not likely. This has the potential to be a freakin' cash cow for Wizards. They are putting as much into this design as any other set, if not more. Especially since it is the first return to a previously visited plane, and one that was admitedly done wrong originally. they have a lot riding on this and I think they will deliver...
But if it turns out to just be... cards that just radiate "play me and you'll win!" then I am just done.
You mean cards like those played in Jund decks or Baneslayer (or Faeries before that)? C'mon, get real... It won't be any worse than it is now. Yes, I know Affinity messed things up last time around. MaRo has admitted they screwed up. It is not going to happen again. And I think a lot of people will like it, except for straight up artifact haters...

Given that SOM's symbol involves hexagons, I think that we are finally getting the sixth color!
I very sincerely hope you're mistaken. And likely I'm right, not only because adding another color would be horrible, but simply because there's no need for this logic. Hexagons are a "machiney"-looking symbol, notable especially for being featured on the Glimmervoid Plains of the original Mirrodin, and the hacked-out hexagon doesn't have to imply a missing sixth color; it could just symbolize the "broken" (not as in card power, hopefully) world that is suggested by the "Scars" in the name. It also suggests the card The Hive , which neatly symbolizes "artifact power" by being the game's first token-maker, not super-powerful perhaps but certainly iconic. I've been hoping for some time to see a high-tech looking reillustration of the Hive; the version in XE is pretty good, but I wouldn't mind a bit if it got shinier and less organic-looking.
Glimmervoid people!!!! The hexagon relates to GLIMMERVOID!!!!!!

I sure hope they reprint stuff like legacy staples but make them with some mild drawbacks,
i.e.
mox diamond: same thing but whenever it gets tap, it deals 1 damage to you.
Lotus Petal/Lion Eye Diamond: same thing but activation cost requires pay 1 and 3 life respectively.
Alpha/Beta/Revised dual lands: but now they are artifact lands which means deeds/meltdown artifact hate cards can deal with them away.
Hopefully artifact wastelands/ports/ancient tombs/city of traitors/dust bowls/maze of ith/tabernacle/glacial chasm XD
Heys mishra's factory comes back if possible too
They could reprint null rods, powdered keg and stuff too.
Make reprints of the reserved list without making exact/functional reprints XD
Just my random fantasy.

I've been looking at the packs and aside from what is probably a red/black Sarkan Vol the being on the pack second from the bottom looks like a planeswalker.

I hope you are being sarcastic.
Well, as long there's no affinity in the set anymore, it shouldn't be a problem.
Affinity isn't the only reason for Mox Diamond and Lotus Petal with a painland drawback, nor a Lion's Eye Diamond with a weak drawback (losing this amount of life is nothing compared to the power level of these cards) being too strong. This would destroy the Standard enviroment.
The Alpha/Beta/Revised dual lands are too good for being reprinted the way they are and making them artifacts would only make them more powerfull because they would be in a set were (possibly) artifacts matter. And just because Affinity will be out of Standard and Extended when it comes out doesn't mean it will be out of eternal formats. So they would be more than broken.
The other lands you've mentioned would also be the same thing or stronger as artifacts. The fact that they are vulnerable to artifact removal pays for the huge interactions they will have with a lot of other cards.

Well, considering we have a stagnant aggro meta now, some combo/control would be fun (also going back to the urza era gold standard would be soo much better) =)
And by the way, I play legacy, affinity is rather poor faring in legacy (tier 1.5-2) compared to many of the Tier 1 decks and they are in no way broken.
As for vintage, quite a couple of decks there due to the mana base they have is already broken, I doubt it would really affect the format much.

But if it turns out to just be more altered affinity, lots of indestructable, and cards that just radiate 'play me and you'll win!' then I am just done. .

Is that their great idea? Move the legacy-people to MtgO? I know more than one legacy player who just wouldn't do that.

"The Legacy format allows players to use nearly all Magic cards that have ever been printed! With the exclusion of a few overly powerful cards on its banned list, Legacy covers all sets in the game's history. That means you get some interesting decks. Chris Woltereck recently won a large Legacy tournament, the StarCityGames.com Open in Indianapolis, using a deck playing over 40 lands! The goal of his deck is to put as many lands onto the battlefield as possible using "Exploration", "Manabond", and "Life from the Loam". From there it can beat people down with Mishra's Factory or Mindslaver-lock them using Academy Ruins. Sound like fun? Well now you can play too, because Legacy is coming to Magic Online soon!"
I'm not at all surprised monkeys run your departments, because neither Exploration, Maze of Ith, nor Rishadan Port are available AT ALL online right now. So, no, you can't play this deck on Magic Online.

Are you sure? I don't play MTGO but was told that the most inclusive format was being called 'Classic' until they'd caught up with the card-pool of Legacy.
I just assumed, after reading that, that they'd finally gotten to that point.

Anyone else think that this Arcana, the PvtC Duel Deck, and the return to Mirrodin (with a probable Phyrexian set in the block) mean that we shall soon return to Dominaria?
After all, we need an Urza Planeswalker card. Karn dies and Urza uses the last of Karn's godwalker powers (or the second spark if, like Bolas, Karn has already been downgraded) to make a new, Bradywalker body?
If they do go back to Dominaria, I'd love to see what happened to Kamahl. The Otaria arc was pretty good until the Karona crap.

Karn has Urza's and Gerrard's memories. Maybe this also means that their consciousnesses (or "selves") are still knocking around as well.
If this is the case (or even if it isn't, really) resurrecting them through magical means wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility.
Plus, there's the clear storyline out of the time rifts from Future Sight. If they think bringing Urza back would be good, there are lots of ways to justify it. I mean, there's been foreshadowing that Yawgmoth is less than dead for good.

Does Magic support species/breeds going extint? I would seem so since Tarpan has a beneficial effect when it goes into the graveyard.
I believe that the way summons work in Magic is that you create a copy of a creature based on your magical memories of that creature, rather than pulling it to you through the Blind Eternities, so if a specie goes extinct you can still summon members of it. This theory also explains how Legends can "Die" in games; It's not actually the chacacter from the storyline, it's a magical copy of that character with all his/her/its memories and/or abilities.
But you're right, it's pretty funny that you get a reward for making an extinct specie even more extinct

Any lands are just ugly compared to zendikar lands. So disapointing to go away from full art lands even though they said they would do it. While i don't think the lands look ugly they certainly aren't anything exceptional. Please bring back full art lands as soon as possible and keep them full art for every set.

I think you are mostly alone in this one, dude.Nah it really seems to be pretty polarizing between people such as myself who appreciate nice art, and those who can't appreciate beauty. Not that I'm biased or anything [c=brushwagg]:-D[/c].
Half art lands suxorz! There is absolutely no point in making half art lands, should have learned that back in unglued. The art is sort of nice, shame I’m just going to throw all half art lands into the garbage from now on.

I'm dissappointed by these. Panoramic lands is a good idea.
But these are dissappointing swamps. where's the color? grey... boring and because of the panorama effect we are stuck with all 5 swamps being the same boring grey. The cubes are nice but they needs some black magicy color stuff on 'em. The only one I would consider liking is the one on the far right because it has some cube color.
blech... just what magic didn't need after the awesome full-art zendikar lands, 5 grey boring half-art swamps. :-(
excitement for ROE: -1 for me now

Yeah, Emrakul is awesome to get for free. But I'd like it way better if I get it out of a booster. ^^

I'm a little annoyed that they broke the symmetry by having Emrakul have a different annihilator number than the other two Drazi. But I like her version of "haste".

I don't think they're pretty either. The pink is a bit bilious.
I am happy to see panoramic land pictures return, though. I expect that the other lands will be better looking.
Full art land is awesome, but they told us straight up it was just a special thing for ZEN.

It's cooler to pull it, sure, but considering the demographic they are trying to reach it is actually smarter to make sure everyone gets a copy. Besides, for people like me it's pretty much the only incentive we have to go to a Rise of the Fatties prerelease. I want my ridiculous 15/15, and for that I will hang around, eat trail mix and play with nothing but Timmy cards until I get bored and drop. It will look cool in a binder and perhaps one day I will actually find a use for it.

If they do make a low cmc creature with anihilattor I hope they have the sense to keep it a 0/1 or something. But, it'll be so great if they pull this off right.
Crossing my fingers.
Come on now, they're not THAT stupid. a 1 mana creature with anihilator would end the game by itself unless you play land/path to exile on your turn.
I really can't see how they'd all agree to do something like that.

under the Grand Prix for the 2005 season, there are a couple of mistakes. It incorrectly lists the format of GP Nottingham and GP Rimini:
Nottingham, England (September 3-4, 2005) - Kamigawa Block Constructed ... Rimini, Italy (Sept. 10-11, 2004) - Standard
The formats were actually:
Nottingham, England (September 3-4, 2005) - Sealed with Booster Draft ... Rimini, Italy (Sept. 10-11, 2004) - Mirrodin Block Constructed
Hopefully a WotC web developer can correct this.
Not sure where to report this, so I'll do this here and hope a WotC web developer sees this:Over on the event coverage archive page atwww.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Events.aspx?x=mtg/eventcoverage/mainunder the Grand Prix for the 2005 season, there a
Funny arcana. I wonder if Curse was a relative of Poison. I also wonder whether the white card owes its existence to the players who used to say lifegain was bad, or if it was just designed to combo with Pygmy Giant .

I am deeply puzzled how they managed to do the Surrakar Spellblade goof on *both* the individual IP picture *and* the box picture (which still has not been fixed).
Also interesting - the mystery picture of Kozilek, which currently headlines the product page but doesn't appear on any cards, is the background image for "Totem Power", where all the other decks have an actual card's picture in that position (eg Pathrazer of Ulamog on the RG deck). Makes me wonder if this picture was on the missing 249th card.
