Sorry to sound dumb, but I just read the Chronicles of the Rumor mill thread, and read that there was a Ninth Ed Pre-release. I only came back to Magic after 8th Ed, so I am not sure if there is a Pre-release for a core set. Is this true?
there was a release event for eighth, put it was more of a "tenth aniversay celebration" thing. that said, there was a release event for unhinged so i would assume there would be one for ninth
(i say release event instead of "prerelease", especially in regards to eighth, as they published a spoiler of the set before the events)
I don't know who knows, but I know I care.
Maybe you only care about cards on a functional basis. Maybe you don't care about flavor text or art or any of that. But some of us do.
I'm surprised we have that many 9th cards regardless of the fact that it's the next set out, a base set with cards already in print, and a bunch of other things.
Wizards seems to be doing release events for all their new set releases and 8th started this trend. I would assume that since they seem to keep drawing crowds with their antics that they'd continue the trend for 9th, despite the fact that 8th was the 10th anniversary of MTG.
I think that's a pretty safe assumption, arch. One 2/X creature for 3 mana with fear is quite enough. Though it does mean fear will be a little more splashable (:2mana::symb: vs. :1mana::symb::symb:).

Isn't it about time to start the spoiler, anyway?
