yeah guildgates for everyone haha. So the guildpacks will have three colors now instead of two colors which is very interesting.
Kind of interested in the Mythic land. It definitely has something to do with the maze though me thinks, and maybe has something to do with the guildgates

This topic of DGM's prerelease came up today during the pre-release. I thought it was going to be one way, but this sounds so much better. Looking forward to it.
I can see it: Worldfire-land ... "[land] enters the battlefield tapped unless you go to 1 life. (T): Add WUBRG to your mana pool."

If the shocklands being possible in ANY DGM booster is the case, this just sealed the deal for me to wait on buying any booster boxes of RTR or GTC. As someone who has broke friends and loves helping them out, this is awesome news.

Dragon's Maze Booster Packs All Contain Nonbasic Lands
So for those of you asking, it's not just the guild packs, it's ALL packs of DGM.
And for the rest of that:
That's better! The fifteenth card in Dragon's Maze packs isn't basic land; it's nonbasic land. All ten guildgates will be showing up (with the Dragon's Maze expansion symbol), as will all ten shocklands from Return to Ravnica and Gatecrash (with their Return to Ravnica or Gatecrash symbols). They'll show up at rates about like their original rarity. There's also a mythic rare land from Dragon's Maze that will show up there sometimes!
In the same way you can tell someone is from the XVIII century because he is arroused by ankles, you can tell someone is from USA because he feels nipples disturbing.
I don't understand what they mean by supports two guilds...
Does each guild box always come paired with a specific guild, or is it like I'm picking two guilds, or is the other guild a random pick from a guild that shares a color?
i.e. : Does every Simic box come paired with Golgari, or
Do I get to pick Simic + another guild, or
Do I pick Simic and randomly get another guild that contains Green or Blue?
Hasn't Maro, repeatedly, on his Tumblr said there will never be more mythic lands? I could of sworn he has said that countless time.
Lands at the mythic rarity are fine. He just said that they haven't printed a cycle of utility lands (like duals) at mythic. And they don't plan to do so.

It means that it'll support Guild X (I.E. you pick Azorious), it'll support another guild of the same color share, so Guild Y (I.E. Dimir, Simic, Izzet, sharing U). At least that's how it translated to me and I let luminimcan know that.

I'm HOPING it's going to be Option three, there. However, I'm going Orzhov again, and banking on Azorius or Dimir as my counterpart. If I end up with Boros, I think I'll manage, but my complete inability to run green means Golgari would spell my doom.
Seriously. I can't run green to save my life, even if someone builds the deck...

Well, for singles sellers, this was about as terrible a time to announce this as possible. Couldn't even wait a month for this set to be opened and GTC Shocks hold their price for a while? I want to say this will help Modern (and it's obviously why they're doing it), but as is it just means the fetches are gonna start going up even more and then they will be the barrier for a good mana base.

The set size for Dragon's Maze is 156. This makes sense if we have the normal small-set size of 145, plus 10 reprinted guildgates, plus 1 mystery card. Given that the prerelease Arcana mentions that the prize for solving the maze is a promo foil BASIC land... is it too hasty for me to suggest that a sixth type of basic is finally making an appearance?
We need an Oprah meme saying "And you get a shockland! And you get a shockland!" ASAP.
You forgot "Everyone gets a new shockland!" on that.
That aside, this is seriously great news. I know that some people may be grumbling bigtime about the inevitable pricedrop on them, but its not like they were ever >$100 cards anyway. Plus this has the added bonus of making even casual MTG more creative and fun, especially for the lower-budgeted crowd.

The pot hath been stirred! Mythic dragon land and now this? Awesome guildpacks supporting two guilds? The wait is totally killing me! I have an idea about the mythic land, though I am not sure if I am allowed to speculate in this thread.
Printing the shocklands AGAIN makes me very happy. IMO this is what Wizards should do with all dual lands they release. Mana bases are the foundation of every deck. Having such important cards be expensive is very frustrating to those of us who can't just go out and pay $100+ for a mana base every time we want to even start building a new deck. Especially good for people like me who build lots of decks and need way more than a single playset of the lands.
I think by supporting 2 guilds, the second guild is just whatever guild you support from the RTR or GTC booster.
DGM prerelease is 2 DGM, 2 GTC, and 2 RTR. If you pick Simic, the only relevant cards are in the DGM and GTC packs. The second guild will either be Azorious, Izzet, Golgari, or Selesnya that you pick from the 2 RTR packs.
Unrelated, but I really hope that WOTC does not do 10 intro packs, but do 5 3 color intro packs that combines 2 guilds instead.
Hmm, I was expecting a non-basic land for each guild combination in this set. Like a land for New Prahv, Nivix, etc. Excited for this new Mythic land, and more Shocklands is definitely nice.

When it escaped, the experimenters hesitated. It would cause untold havoc, yet they wished to see it in action.

(Don't get your hopes up for breaking into Modern if you haven't. Shocklands aren't really why the format is expensive.)
