    Believe it (yet) or not, you will see Battle of Wits at 44, Mutilate at 102, Phylactery Lich at 104, and Reliquary Tower at 227. Thanks to iaquinta for the info.


    Mutilate, check. Battle of Wits, check. That means we have the last two as in for sure.

    Quote from Sniffnoy
    Searching around, it seems the post by iaquinta that Cat Like Thief is referring to is this one.

    Some things of note:

    iaquinta did not specify the numbers. Of course, of those four numbers, 3 are forced, but Reliquary Tower, if in, could be 226 or 227.

    iaquinta also said that Redirect and Reverberate are getting reprinted. He also said that Doom Blade, Lightning Bolt, and Birds of Paradise are out -- but we could already tell that from the crunch.


    I don't know that there's much reason to consider this credible currently. A lot of people were predicting Mutilate. Even if Reliquary Tower shows up, a number of people were predicting that too.

    Now, if Battle of Wits or Phylactery Lich shows up, that would constitute good evidence, I think. (Or if he actually produces pictures.)


    Redirect and Reverberate will be added in italics until we get confirmation.

    Quote from iaquinta
    You'll see it's true as it gets posted, it's only a week away anyway

    But since you guys are number crunching, you can add Sleep and Rewind to the reprints

    No ponder or preordain in this set, blue only has Divination and a 5 card cycler yet to be spoiled


    Also will add in italics.

    Quote from CadaverousBl00m
    Hellion Crucible is #226.
    This makes Reliquary Tower #227 if it's in (and cleans up the entire non-basic land section for M13).


    Will add to the crunch shortly along with other cards.

    Quote from iaquinta
    yes I know it's uncool... so no more spoilers after telling you that I saw the War Priest.

    And now I will stop Smile

    GL in prereleases/releases all!!


    War Priest of Thune will go up also.

    Quote from PoppaAdat
    Not sure how often this list gets updated but it looks like it's missing Hellion Crucible in the #226 spot FYI.

    So there's still room for Noble Heirarch. Me likes...


    Don't count on Noble Heirarch. I just haven't updated things yet.

    Quote from ralleon
    So, Gilded Lotus is reprinted. What's out?


    We'll see shortly.

    Quote from Drowning
    Yeah that confirms it for me...so add in reliquary tower, elvish archdruid, phalactery lich, rewind(whatever else he said) in italics. well atleast we can all pretend to be cool tomorrow and know whats on the print run before others right Smile lol.


    I'll be adding all the possible cards right now.

    Just a quick heads up for the OP: Trading Post reads "discard a card", not "discard [your] hand". And I know that I started the trend of putting all the numbers and number words and some other attributes of a card into the number crunch list, but the entire rules text of Trading Post is a bit much :p


    I'll edit it just to include the token portion. the other three costs I'll just list.

    On that note, I'm going to wait on proof. Mutilate, Spelltwine are going up on the crunch.

    Mutilate @ 102

    Spelltwine @ 68


    The person who posted Mutilate with it's number was right on, so we have three more also that are pretty much confirmed.

    Are the numbers on Hydrosurge and Mind Sculpt confirmed? The numbers have been bolded but not the names.


    It's a formatting error Sniffoy. I might as well fix it and add the blue merfolk too while I'm at it. Mind Sculpt is the only one that is confirmed where it is I believe.

    No Druidic Satchel? Disappointed. Love that card.


    Not every card can be expected to be reprinted.

    Minor issue, but, in today's Beyer article, Gem of Becoming is shown to be uncommon, not common...


    I'll fix it in the update tonight.

    Quote from Deso
    Touch of the Eternal is at 37


    I'll add it along with whatever else revealed in tonight's update.

  • posted a message on [RTR] Guild Reformation
    Quote from Ellis Wyatt
    If RTR is simply the first set in a "Return to X" block of plane-hopping, I think it makes sense to go with the tri-color wedge theme. Trying to cram 10 different guilds into one set would be unfulfilling for everyone, but 5 new wedge guilds composed of pieces of the old guilds not only makes it easier to establish different identities, but also could bring back the flavor of time spiral block with mixing abilities that formerly never had the chance to both be on the same card.


    I'm afraid that this isn't going to be a plane hopping block. Magic blocks as of late are designed to where they visit 1 plane through the three sets. The whole "Return to X block was just a silly speculation that someone started. We're staying on Ravnica for Hook, Line and Sinker.

    Back on topic, I'd like it if we saw the continuation of the storyline that was started with Rise of the Eldrazi with Gideon gong to Ravnica to look for planeswalkers that can help out on Zendikar with the Eldrazi. It would be fitting to include him here for the sake of where we are.

    Two errors:

    Arbor Elf should have [c] tags around it since it's a reprint.
    Goblin Arsonist should be costed at R, not 1R


    I'll fix that in tonight's update.

    Quote from Venser_FR
    Mindclaw Shaman is 142, Thundermaw Hellkite is 150.


    Already added and bolded to the crunch.

    Quote from ibraman
    179 - Noble Hierarch maybe???


    Doug said in the featured article that Exalted's focus is White and Black. The fact that no exalted cards have been spoiled for blue and green makes it highly unlikely that Noble Heirarch is going to be reprinted.

    Quote from TappedOutAgain
    Why isn't Faith's Reward on the Crunch?


    I guess I overlooked Faith's Reward. I'll add it tonight.

    Quote from zro
    My wild guesses are Grixis Panorama (for Bolas) and Krosan Verge (to balance for G/W) OR Mishra's Factory (so we have a manland) and Relecting Pool (support for multicolour)


    My response to the above guesses:
    I don't think Grixis Panorama is being reprinted, as we already have a card that supports Bolas in the artifacts.

    Does G/W really need balance with Farseek and Boundless Realms present? I don't really think so.

    Mishra's Factory is a sensible reprint and the only card I see of the cards you've listed so far.

    While we do have multicolor coming up in RTR, I don't think we really need Reflecting Pool as we already have some support from the previous block with Shimmering Grotto.

    Quote from Darkaj
    Based on the Duels of the Planeswalkers Decklists, I am pretty sure that Veilborn Ghoul is number 114, instead of 115. If so, does this mean that Vengeful Pharaoh could be #115? It would fit, I believe.


    It fits, but it's really speculation now, and we don't know if the Pharoh will be back.
