can open the same guildgate in the same booster twice, and it means 5 less new commons... Interesting.
no common slot "stolen" considering that basic lands are not counted inside the set numbers, and probably the gate will take the land slot in boosters (like the taplands in m19) to ease limited fixing

my god
the second guild infiltrated is BOROS!
noooooooo!!!!!!
boros my babe!
don't do this to me!

however on the bright side, knowing both infiltrated guilds share the color red we could speculate all guilds in the second set sharing the color blue and black are infiltrated. this would fill all the grixis colors, and would mean 3 guild infiltrated. ohrzov, azorious, rakdos and simic are targets for the infiltrated tag i speculate. so gruul is defenitely safe if this hold any truth, and i find rakdos less likely as it is too chaotic for bolas to trust on and freaky circuses doesn't seem like bolas's style.

I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed that the two Bolas guilds in GRN are Izzet (with Ral as leader) and Golgari (with Vraska as leader). The interesting thing to speculate on is which three of the next set will Bolas have. Given Assassin's Trophy we can assume Azorius. An argument can be made for any of the others

I like how comfy the "small" Boros, Izzet and Selesnya guildgates look.
The big Selesnya gate reminds me of Shinjuku Gyoen. And the big Golgari gate is upside down Big Ben
I am sure Vraska much like Lili will get a free pass back to the good guy side because Girls that Jace likes or liked never pay a price for their crimes.
Not sure how I feel about 5 guild gates eating away 10 set slots.
But their flavor text strongly implies that we get Tajic, Aurelia, Trostani, Lazav and someone named Etrata in this set.
Most probably the Dimir guy on the boosters.

That Izzet Guildgate looks almost like a scene from Ratchet & Clank. I think it just might be my favorite of this bunch.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
So maybe one set of arts will be in the land slot and the other set in a common spot? Not confused on how cool it is to get alt arts just confused on why they actually are different numbers taking up an additional five spots.
Very nice arts though

Been a member here for over a dozen years. Playing since '95 just got lost in the twitch shuffle.
Sheesh that's interesting. Why would they show this AFTER assassin's trophy?
Because they're bad at this. Welp, adios, Isperia. Older and wiser, pragmatic, do sphinxes qualify as cats?, competent secondary female...frankly, that you survived two Ravnica blocks is a miracle.
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
So if the gates aren´t in the basic land slot or something like that, they will be twice as common as regular commons? This will make for a splash-tastic limited environment. It´s kind of annoying that the article talks about the as-fan of gates, but do not tell us what it is. Time to go bug Maro again I guess.

Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.

Definitely. First they tell us they removed the numbering to not spoil the plot, but then this? I don't get it. Either you want Storyline Spotlights, so people can get the plot from the carrds, or you don't want that. Just use the one time you actually can control the order people get to see the cards - previews - to actually show the Storyline Spotlights in order.
Is that too much to ask?

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

Apparently he let Ral lead the guild for some time since he wanted to work on a personal project.

So, District Guide is the "no Treetop Bracers!" version of Silhana Ledgewalker. IOW, Lay of the Land (spliced onto gate) attached to a body.
