That's 9 out of the 10 mythics then. They won't do that.
We already know it isn't that because there aren't that many Mythics left in BNG.
I would guess the BG and UR Mythics are in JOU to go with their temples.
The fact that they left those colors for last would be offset by getting the God, Temple, and secondary Mythic for both of those.
I would guess the RW Mythic is in BNG-
perhaps that Iroas art involving the winner of the Akroan Games?

1. We had 10 out of 10 Gold Mythics in DGM, so they could do that if they wished, they just choose something else.
2. Yes, I have adjusted theories several times since that was shot out of the air one post later by the Spancounting. And by the reveals of two Monocolor Mythics.
We'll find out what they're doing soon enough. We have enough numbers to start speculating on reprints? Or will that have to wait a few days?

That has to do with the Vs Deck for RTR promotion being Izzet vs. Golgari. The two starting coverage guilds go last of the last. That's the logic Wizards is running, in any event.

Also with the next Duel deck being Jace vs Vraska 6 weeks before JOU I wouldn't be surprised if we got a couple of preview cards, or reprints that will be in JOU.
I said this in speculation but knowing we won't see any Angels and Minotaurs being Black/Red for Theros two of the more famous Boros creatures are out, I'm guessing that the R/W mythic will either be a Giant/Titan as we've seen a giant in Red and Hundred Handed one in White. All the non Planeswalker-Non God Mythics have been creatures, a human is possible eg Hercules, but I can't help feeling we've seen that covered in Hero of Ioras now

The Planeswalker duel decks don't typically have preview cards. They're typiclaly meant as a last hurrah for the block that's rotating next, and usually have and hand ful of cards from there plus some older cards.
I haven't seen this art yet, would someone mind linking it?
This is out of the Compiled info thread. It's BNG art, but at the same time it has none of the usual... artistic aspects that the Gods have as themselves. It plays into the mythology that Iroas visits victors at his Temple in the Games. (Which explains the tiny person in the bottom corner next to the spire that is clearly the Temple of Victory.

I posted it earlier Assuiming there's a W/R Mythic and a B/U uncommon to go with Phenax and the 5 unspoiled artifacts are all the same rarity in a cycle
The most likely breakdown is
W 29 cards
1 MR, 5 R, 11 U, 12 C
U 28 cards
6 R 10 U 12 C
B 29 cards
1 MR, 5 R, 11 U, 12 C
R 29 cards
1 MR, 5 R, 11 U, 12 C
G 28 cards
6 R 10 U 12 C
Artifacts 5 R 1 U
Land 3 R
If the artifacts aren't rare you have
W 29 cards
1 MR, 6 R, 10 U, 12 C
U 28 cards
7 R 9 U 12 C
B 29 cards
1 MR, 6 R, 10 U, 12 C
R 29 cards
1 MR, 6 R, 10 U, 12 C
G 28 cards
7 R 9 U 12 C
That seems awfully high for Rares vs Uncommon in the colours. Though I could be wrong but I don't see a quarter of a colour's cards being Rare.
While they may not be weapons or provide devotion I can see a cycle of 5 artifacts linked to the Minor Gods
I guess R/W U/R and B/G get their gods and mythics in BNG unless something totally bizarre happens. Also pity the poor soul who cracks the chromanticore in limited
If the number crunch is correct and there are 10 mythics in BNG, then with chomaticore and Phenax, Blue won't have a mono colored mythic. This seems very strange...

If there are some sweet mana fix/ramp rocks for artifacts in this set, then Chromanticore could be worth it in limited. Super bomb if you can get the mana. Plus Theros will provide fix cards like Sylvan Caryatid, Burnished Hart and Opaline Unicorn along with the scry lands.

No the running theory is that blue and green will get their mono mythics in Journey to Nix which makes sense since they are short one card compared to the other colors. They still most likely will get an extra rare to account for that.

Also while U and G don't get a mono mythic they did get a U/G mythic they can potentially work with
The only other option I can think of is they went 12 mythic 33 rare and gave U and G mono mythics. Is that possible?
And yeah scry lands and spring leaf will help. I just can't see how you can play it in limited. My theory right now is the artifacts are rare. Edit with Heroes Podium spoiled I guess they aren't a cycle linked to the minor gods
And while it's not a pure cycle I think we can say there's a rare enchantment creature cycle
TML 10/11/2012: Our mythic rares right now are white, black, red, green-blue, WUBRG, and allied colors. I sorta like that. Let's see what designs we get back.
All of those have been revealed except UB
Also, it would be nice to have a Legendary total in the OP: so far it's at 8 (Ephara, Phenax, Mogis, Karametra, Xenagos, Brimaz, Tromokratis, Heroes' Podium).
We've been told multiple times we'd get 5 minor gods in BNG and 5 in JOU we've seen the artwork for him in the trailer because he was mentioned by name and he's on a playmat. If it's not him then I'd be shicked
Is it possible one or more of the color pairs simply doesn't get a mythic?
It's possible, not very likely. This isn't a parity set so they don't have to do all combinations (same way Innistrad didn't give equal coverage to all things).

Fanatic of Xenagos?
You can always tell how many planeswalkers are in each set by the sizes
Large-Small-Small always have 3-1-1 (Examples: Scars Block, This Block)
Large-Small-Large always have 2-1-2 (Examples: Innistrad)
So until they change this policy or do something special for a block this is what we can likely expect.
Note: RTR block was Large-Large-Small so it was 2-2-1

That's six walkers in a L-S-L block. So they could very well do a L-S-S block with 3-1-2 if they wanted. They probably won't, but they could.

It would be really strange. Looks like they're just all in set 3.
