    I feel the need to point out that those arts for the Swords look suspiciously like altered versions of the art for the Scars block Swords.

    Fire and Ice is the mirror image of War and Peace. Wizards wouldn't do that.

    *sigh* Well, so much for that Biovisionary deck I just built. The ultimate Modern token-hoser has made a return to Standard.

    The ten shocklands are not counted in the 156 cards of Dragon's Maze.

    Personally, what I think the most likely possibilities are:

    1994: Winter Orb, Stasis, Control Magic
    1995: Hymn to Tourach, Hypnotic Specter, The Rack
    1996: Armageddon, Swords to Plowshares
    1997: Man-O'-War, Nekrataal, Gemstone Mine, City of Brass
    1998: Tradewind Rider, Birds of Paradise, Scroll Rack
    1999: Wildfire
    2000: Brainstorm, Thran Dynamo, Phyrexian Processor
    2001: Crypt Angel, Blazing Specter
    2002: Cunning Wish, Psychatog, Upheaval
    2003: Wrath of God, Decree of Justice
    2004: Eternal Dragon, Eternal Witness
    2005: Glare of Subdual, Loxodon Hierarch, Yosei, the Morning Star, Umezawa's Jitte
    2006: Dragonstorm, Bogardan Hellkite, Remand
    2007: Ohran Viper, Doran, the Siege Tower, Thoughtseize
    2008: Vendilion Clique, Cryptic Command, Bitterblossom
    2009: Baneslayer Angel, Ranger of Eos, Noble Hierarch
    2010: Stoneforge Mystic, Jace, the Mind Sculptor
    2011: Primeval Titan
    2012: Snapcaster Mage, Geist of Saint Traft, Deathrite Shaman
    2013: Boros Reckoner, Sphinx's Revelation


    I find it incredibly unlikely that Boros Reckoner would be in here. The product was already completed, art completed, everything was done before they announced it at PTGTC. They had absolutely no way of knowing that Tom Martell would win with the Reckoner at that same event. I'm not sure what Worlds or Pro Tours Deathrite Shaman or Revelation won, but there's a similar issue. I think they're going with chronological years (mid-'94 - mid-'95, etc.), but I could be wrong.

    The rest of this list looks solid, though.

    EDIT: Scratch that, just saw the announcement again. It is going by calendar year, but it's '93 to '12. We'll probably see something from Kibler's Wolf Run Ramp, like Primeval Titan or Kessig Wolf Run.

    Do you think they'll use Dragonstorm even though it was in FTV: Dragons?

    I know it looks a little like Mother of Runes, but that's a white card. This definitely looks blue to me. I'm gonna go with Counterspell, especially after seeing the hand gesture.

    EDIT: Never mind, just looked at the hand again and it's not the same gesture. Still feels blue though.

    Okay, I admit, I was (unfortunately) wrong about Domri. Can you really blame me, though? I mean, who ever heard of a scrawny Gruul?

    Wait, look at the planeswalkers we know for certain. We have mono-blue Jace and GB Vraska already. Based on the announcement arts, we also know that we will be getting WR Gideon and UR Ral.

    Assuming that GR Domri is the fifth walker, that makes three red planeswalkers in a single block. Moreover, it means three of the only four "guild-aligned" planeswalkers will come from red guilds. Doesn't that seem incredibly lopsided?

    I think it's more likely that we'll see UG Kiora in Gatecrash. (Simic merfolk, etc.) But again, that's just my opinion.

    I'll admit, the foiling would be tough, but not impossible. But the big question is, if this guy did manage to get ahold of these cards, and the cards are real, why would he sell them on eBay? He would've known that he would be easily tracked down and prosecuted. I just feel like there's more going on here.

    All I'm saying is that we shouldn't assume that these are actually in Gatecrash.

    I don't understand why everyone assumes these are real. I still do not believe that they are.

    I mean, I understand that they appear real, but I don't think stores should be posting prices for these cards (as they have been) until we have actual confirmation from WOTC.
