I just hope they make a Niv-Mizzet 2.0 instead of a complete reprint. That would make me pretty mad. I would like to see some 3-color combinations along with the original theme. It would make sense for some Guilds to have combined after last time, in order to survive.
I am disappointed that I pre-ordered a box of Avacyn Restored instead of saving my money for this EPICNESS.

I highly doubt they would make a reprint of Niv-Mizzet just because Curiosity is in Innistrad, and there is a loop combo with Niv and Curiosity that will kill on turn 4 if you have the means necessary.
YES.
Beyond excited for this. I wasn't even playing during Ravnica but it still became my favorite set. Very very happy that they are returning to my favorite plane, and that I'll be here this time around.

I used to pull out that combo with ophidian eye as curiosity wasn't standard legal when guildpact came out...
I am very excited for October, now. I might actually start trying to work on tightening the bolts on this Commander deck of mine to prep for RTR, but the collector side of me is grinning right now, as if it just got a hold of the Firemind.

Niv-Mizzet left Ravnica in the story, but him being in the picture makes me assume he is returning to his plane.
If he's returning to the plane then it might be as a new card. Or, being that he completely left Ravnica through unexplained means, that could mean he is a Planeswalker. He is certainly among the most intelligent beings in the MtG universe, and a dragon who's been living for ~15000 years or more. Maybe he isn't on the level of Bolas (Elder Dragon, ~30000 years old, much of the Conflux's power, and a former Mending Planeswalker), but it would be no surprise to see Niv-Mizzet return as a Planeswalker though. He could just be intelligent enough to create his own means to travel between planes without a spark, but I'm not sure of how possible that is.
So i guess this will be where we finally meet Ral Zarrek! Everyone saying he looked Izzet should be thrilled.
Ravnica was where i started Magic, I am eager to return but at the same time, I plan on collecting a TON of AVR for trades and all those yummy angels...

Even though i started playing magic during Lorwyn, i was always under the impression that Yawgamoth was powerfull/ strong enough that he could have learned how to artificially planeswalk. Not to mention there is always Memnarch and his soul trap things which did bring beings from other planes to Mirrodin. So i would say that it is very possible for Niv-Mizzet to have learned how to planeswalk without being a planeswalker.
On a diffrent note, i am looking forward to some nice black white cards. I have always been a fan of the Orzhov and i am hoping to see either the guild or what remains of it coming back for me to use and manipulate....i love life manipulation so much and they are right in that heart of that love.
WOOT RAVANICA!!!!!!

The effect could prove so discombobulating to combo players, in particularly, they may fizzle and run away screaming. "From that day the Curse of the Plateau was upon me, and I found every hand I ever pull from a combo deck is a mulligan."

What I meant by reprint I meant that I highly doubt Niv will have his same effect since it is too broken.
As for the story, I believe Niv and Jace are gonna be working together to stop Nicol Bolas (based on the assumption Bolas will appear in the plane given from the display of Bolas' horns at PAX), because it just seems like a Bolas thing to do to screw around with a plane- especially a plane like Ravnica with such a weak minded populace. It would take a powerful force such as Jace and one as intelligent as Niv-Mizzet to stop him. I'm not too sure about Niv will be a planeswalker since he is probably capable of 'artificially' planeswalking, he'll probably come back with a much more powerful effect.
And I can't wait for the multicolor goodness, damn if those shocklands and bouncelands return they are gonna be sweet.
This is exicting i missed the original ravnica block. Also dont get too exicited about guilds because im pretty sure from what ive picked up the guildpact broke up so there are no more guilds

I am the only one who is way more excited about return to ravnica than anything to do with avacyn restored? NIV MIZZET IN THE CONCEPT ART, **** YEA!
Nope.
NIV-MIZZET FOR THE WIN.
I remember playing in Ravnica and collecting good ol' Niv-Mizzet's. I had two Japanese ones and a Russian one as well as 6 other English ones and the foil FTV. However, I literally sold all but one English one for nearly $300. Now I must reclaim what is MINE!!!
Gosh, so much excitement for Ravnica. So much. Ravnica coma.
There is no guarentee that this set is comming back as multicolor heavy as before. It does give them a chance to reprint all the shocks and honestly I think people are going to be pissed if they dont.
They are also messing with a VERY popular block so to go back means they might just make the sequal worse.
Not to mention nobody cares about AVR now which kinda stinks.

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
planeswalkers don't need to correspond to the set that they appear in, and they don't have to be equal to each color, so there will not be one PW for each color. But this might be the set with Ral Zirek.
Friends, Romans, Countryman then Heuy, Dewey, Louie are upcoming blocks.

Same, I quit after Champions and missed the first Ravnica, but I did like the artwork that I saw from that set so I'm looking forward to a return.

I loved this plane, I will love it again.
When asked how much power is required, Izzet mages always answer "more".
