I really hope we don't see that. It would more or less shut down aggro. If they do decide to bring it back, it would have to be in white, as that is white's portion of the pie now.
Asking out a girl is like trying to cast a first turn Necropotence. Sometimes the other player will have the Force of Will to say no. You shouldn't let that stop you from trying it.
I think Quenchable Fire could potentially be a reprint of Tribal Flames and Drag Down could be Exotic Curse. And the outlanders have got to be the protection bears.

Domain as a keyword- not a huge surprise, wizards is making most themes into keywords now days.
Might of Alara- Although it's boring, extended will be very happy with a reprinted Gaea's Might and with 8 versions now available to legacy a domain deck might see play there too(probably not but it's worth a shot).
Cycle of function reprints based on invasion common creatures- Well we had the apprentices Nightscape Apprentice etc. which would fit into shards nicely(although we already have the battlemages) or the allied protection bears Shivan Zombie etc. which would bit a bit weird to show up in shards(protection from a color not known to exist?) but given the cross over happening in conflux it's possible.

We've already been told we're getting a functional Shivan Zombie reprint, it makes sense that we'd get the whole cycle.
Might of Alara
G
Domain-Target creature gets +x/+x until end of turn for each basic land type you control.
So how exactly is this worded on the card? As is, it's quite confusing. +x/+x? well what exactly is x? Shouldn't it just say +1/+1 until end of turn for each basic land type?

maybe everyone should sig the following:
If you think you found a way to play evermind, you are wrong.
Where were we told about the Shivan Zombie reprint? Why isn't it in any of the initial posts or thread titles of the other threads? (At least from a casual glance I can't find it.)
I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
Wish they'd stop printing good aggro cards and give us more control cards.
Bah.
ill be happy if the protection bears make it into alara. it'd make shard battles much more flavorful. also, im getting tired of control lately, so might as well go aggro!
I also have to assume we're getting the Pro-Bears, which I am all for - good solid 2-drops with protection are decent and I liked the Invasion ones well enough. They won't knock your socks off, but they're solid.

Isn't Exploding Borders our near-functional reprint of Tribal Flames? side note: Merry belated Christmas, Salvation. I'm sending this from my new iPod touch!
I wish that if they are going to make "functional reprints" at least they could be things off the reserve list.
I think that's not allowed either. They can make almost versions of cards on the list, but functional reprints would for the most part invalidate them as much as actual reprints would.
Interesting stuff, lest anybody actually thought Wizards was now in the business of printing/reprinting only power cards and nothing that's only good in limited.
Something to keep in mind when expecting the Eleventh Edition, yes?

GAh... I'm probably one of the few people that hate the domain mechanic. I always have and always will... I hope it doesn't take too much ofthe set up... although since it's the theme and a small set, I'm probably just whining. Oh well.
First I will say that Domain is one of the keywords for this set if it is not known already. For those of you that don't know, Domain means--"this card gets X for each basic land type you control (i.e. Tribal Flames).
Might of Alara
G
Domain-Target creature gets +x/+x until end of turn for each basic land type you control.
There is also a functional reprint cycle of common creatures from Invasion.

it wont be an ability keyword but it will be a reminder text
domain - target creature gets +x/+x where x is the number of basic land types among lands you control (the part in italics is what will repeat in most domain cards)

The shock lands have basic land types, so they would count to domain. That's the basis of the Extended deck Gaea's Might Get There.
Ya know, Conflux is honestly starting to shape up to be Invasion II more so than Ravnica or Shadowmoor.

I think Valeron is probably the GW one; looking at Steward of Valeron and the flavor text of Court Archers, it seems to be white and green aligned.
UW would have to be Vedalken, since it probably isn't a Zombie, Goblin, or Nacatl.
UB would then be Zombie, since it is unlikely to be Goblin or Nacatl.
BR would have to be Goblin since BR is unlikely to be Nacatl.
And by process of elimination, GR has to be Nacatl.
