Question is, is convoke in the set or is just for the buy-a-box?

A returning guild mechanic! Place your bets! All I can say right now is that I expect Dimir to get a new mechanic no matter how many mechanics return.
I'm ready for this.
Cipher was pretty bad all around (missed triggers abounded in RTR block Limited), so it's probably safe to assume that you're right.
This creature has the biggest printed P/T in the game (that's not a token, that is). It's bigger than an Eldrazi titan, which means...oh no. (Just kidding.)

It's like they knew Nexus of Fate was sooo good they immediately dumbed down the next one.
If they supposedly had the foresight that Nexus would be a gamechanger, it makes you think whether they had the power to pull it out (replaced with a slightly worse one) in the first place.
Indestructible seems kind of redundant on a body that big. Trample would've been a better option.
But as for Convoke, it makes sense that they're using older mechanics. It's getting to the point where they don't have much wiggle room in new mechanics without introducing new card types, colours or what have you. I wonder if some of the other guilds might have a returning mechanic too. I just hope Boros RW doesn't get Radiance again

- Oh no! A leviathan wurm is about to trample to city! What shall we do?
- A simple stream of 1/1 thopters will hold it off indefinitely.
- Trample averted.
16/16 though? Lame, just like Worldspine Wurm was. It's larger than Emrakul herself and this thing isn't even Legendary? Just some dumb Wurm? And on Ravnica of all planes? They have failed Vorthos.
So they really are going to use the Beleren font instead of set logos from now on. All the way up until now I was hoping that they just did that for Dominaria because it fit somehow and for M19 because core sets need less of an identity, but even flavourful settings like Ravnica gets the same old typeset as everything else. I´m almost surprised at how sad this makes me. Look at older sets and all those incredible logos that convey the feel and setting of the block. Look at Innistrad, Return to Ravnica, Shards, Amonkhet, they all set the stage. Now, every set graphic just says "this is a Magic product".
The card is fine, I hope it´s safe enough.

This card is pretty cool but I wanted all the ten guilds to get new mechanics.
. now I'm afraid that some guilds will get nothing new :/
It's on the German site, sorry. As of this post it is still online, try and see here.
Also visible: Ral Zarek on a booster.
Totally expecting to see hellbent in RNA, now.
Not sure if I expect / want any other guild mechanics to return.
"You can tell how dumb someone is by how they use Mary Sue"
It seems pretty unlikely they would include a mechanic only in the buy a box promo.
Valid point. I would expect it to be in the set, but as the Buy a box promo is NOT, it's very possible they gave it the unique (returning) mechanic.
It's Magic...
Also, I have to admit this looks much less epic than Worldspine Wurm.
Cipher was pretty bad all around (missed triggers abounded in RTR block Limited), so it's probably safe to assume that you're right.

It's a GW guild mechanic, so, no chance.
I hope red/BR dies a slow, painful death in Standard after rotation.
