I don't think so. There are mentions of the Dragon's Maze in Leyline Phantom and Incursion Specialist. I'm not sure, but Rogue's Passage also mentions a maze but I'm not sure if it is the same maze we're talking - because after all, the Rogue's Passage is a crack on the wall that goes into a hall with walls.
I thought of "maze" as a double entendre, referring to both a literal maze (the keyrunes have to open something) and Niv's convoluted plan.
Why are people still trying to piece this together? The novella spells it all out. Did it never dawn on any of you to check the wiki? Or maybe ask one of the guys in the Magic Storyline forum, like Barinellos?
Heck, I'll answer the question for you: it's an implicit maze; a code that was carved into the foundation of the entire city when it was built.
the shocklands dont count in the rare amount of dragonsmaze. the shocklands will still have the edition symbol of rtr or gtc. and which 10 uncommon lands do you talk about?
Thought the guildgates were uncommon for some reason.
With the shocks not counting against the rare count, do we have any idea on how many rares / mythics can be expected in such a small set?
GUILDS OF RAVNICA! The dragon Niv-Mizzet has come to a decision. The Izzet will include you in their Grand Project. He invites you to choose a champion to traverse the Dragon’s Maze. Do you have what it takes to be the champion for your guild at the Dragon’s Maze Prerelease in just a few short weeks? Come by the Magic: The Gathering panel to get a glimpse at the next act in the Return to Ravnica block, get the inside track on the Prerelease, and talk to some of the key R&D and Program leaders from Wizards of the Coast.
From the PAX East Panel Description next Saturday.
Ral's art is clearly based on Jan van der Vegt, right? (streams under Dzyl?)
Isn't that even Amsterdam?
oh god, i can see it now.

I fear I won't have much time to play Magic these days.
I get to watch worlds develop around me.
I get to watch great leaders, terrible oppressors, and trend setters rise and fall.
Limited, Standard, Modern, everything is a different playing field I feel I can observe, but will not actually touch.
I look forward to the stories I will hear.
And more so to the ones I will watch unfold first hand.
Isn't the unknown exciting?

Small sets usually have 10 mythics (Dark Ascension had 12 but that's because of the extra slot for the flip cards)
Since we know the mythic land is going to take a land slot I'm expecting 11 mythics in Dragon's Maze
So is it possible with this set to Get a shockland as a rare in the rare slot and in the land slot? That would probably be the biggest reason for me buying any of these these boosters.
Not to my knowledge. From what I have read, the Shocklands and Guildgates are replaceing the basic land slot. So you can get 2 mythics and a shockland. Well, you could get a regualr shockland and a foil I guess.
Besides, flashbacks to Timespiral here. Possible 3 rare packs!

No.
However, it's possible to get a shock as a rare land, get a regular mythic and get a foil mythic.

Hmm, I like Niv Mizzet and all but what if he's using this maze to somehow attempt a coup by using the guild champions. How exactly does Ral get his spark, HMM?? My guess is the maze is how Ral gets his spark. I really don't know much about the plot though.
It's a small set, so 2-3 weeks before prerelease weekend. That would make it around the first couple weeks of April. Unless we have some "unofficial" spoilers appear, in which that could happen at any point in the next month.

We don't know how he got his spark, but in the RTR fatpack booklet it say that he's already a planeswalker by the time RTR start, he just keeps it hidden.

What if we didn't actually care about it and just wanted to say that there are mentions of the maze in cards?

If that's what you guys are doing, then my apologies.
But it sure as heck sounds like you lot are speculating about something we already know about, which would be silly and pointless.

It clashes with the picture in the middle.
