Dreadbore is good, but it won't chase planeswalkers away. There are still counterspells.
The gates are actually matching the guilds. They're technically better than the Invasion lands because a) they're common and b) we're getting the enemy colors, too.
The new PW could be Kiora, who would be UG; as merfolk are new to Ravnica, though, I'd suspect we'll see her later. The rumor is PW #2 is someone new, and I doubt we'd get a monoblue and a Ux planeswalker in the same set.
Agreed, there are counters.....not many playable, but they are still there.
True enough about the gates. Enemy colors are good to see too.
Kiora would likely show up in Gatecrash since that's the set that Simic is in, as the second planeswalker alongside Boros Gideon.
I'm going out on a limb here, but is it possible that the 2nd planeswalker could be GW Nissa? That would make sense for the flavor of Selesnya, and we haven't seen or heard from her since Zendikar.
I guess anything is possible, but someone from Wizards has said the second PW in RTR wasn't seen before. I only mention Kiora because she's only showed up once, and that was in last year's DotP game... which would have been in development around the same time RTR was being fleshed out.
I agree Kiora is not likely to be the second PW for RTR.

An issue is that Nissa has an affinity for B.... a really strong one if i recall.
Also, be careful metioning Nissa.... it summons a certain user who wont let anyone say any bad about Nissa the character
New Niv is unplayable in stack. The other two cards they previewed are auto-includes.
As far as standard... I dunno. Isperia is, at best, a 2x.
Edit: @ Macius: Nissa is alright. Her card was good. While I know enough about the storyline, I don't care about personalities of characters. That information is largely irrelevant. ... Also, figured I should add you to our friends list, as I hadn't before.

was about to ask, but decided y'all would add me if I was welcome and send me floatin' down the hudson if I wasn't.....
If you weren't welcome, you'd know by now. I've come to the conclusion that it's... expected, I guess?... that I should just add people to the friends list and not wait for them to ask. So, that. Alright, then.

I've been to NYC once and besides getting out (traffic, but its typical like where I live), it wasnt a bad time. I stayed in the wholesale district, but thats cause it was a class trip. I almost said screw it and jumped on the subway....
Also heard a joke today: A new york minute is the time when a light turns green until the cabbie behind you blows his horn.
Damn its powerful, but idk about constructed worthy, but damn does it make stack and edh look amazingly more fun.
EDH yes, Stack no. In Stack it would be an instant win for anyone that played him if it wasn't countered or killed immediately. In EDH, though.....imagine having both Niv-Mizzets on the board at once. What a combo that would be! Good thing they limited him to be when he deals damage, and not whenever a player is dealt damage. Then we'd have a ridiculous infinite combo.
I'm a BIG fan of Isperia! She looks like a sick card drawing engine for EDH, especially my five-color Planeswalker control deck that's in the works.
Side note: has anyone else besides me done the whole guild thing on the Planeswalker Points website? I decided to join Dimir, just because of my love for Szadek, Lord of Secrets. Little did I know that he is no longer the guildmaster of House Dimir. Oh well, guess I'll have to hope for another ridiculous mill engine to come for Dimir in Gatecrash.

Even if Niv 2.0 only hit creatures, it's not good for stack. Or at least people wouldn't like it, just like they hate Rimescale Dragon and other such things.
IMO.. So far this set is looking really good, its making me feel good about magic again, but by bit!
Oh my god.. I have to be in a dream..
Hahahaha hey, you're not the only one. I'm digging everything so far, except that some of the artwork is kind of crappy. But hey, we can't have a PERFECT set now, can we?
Holy crap Havoc Festival.....that is going to make for some ridiculous games in Limited. Too bad it's CMC 6....otherwise that would make for some insane Constructed play.
are the guild leaders the actual pre-re cards, do we have confimation that each guild LEADER is the actual prere card? If so, that means Niv is izzet's prere card??
So I went to pick a guild on the PWP site, but then I realized I don't know my password and I haven't logged in in so long that the email I used doesn't exist anymore.
The Prerelease cards haven't been revealed yet. All we have are tiny thumbnails of them. And if no one heard, you do get to play with your card this prerelease, so pick wisely.
So, pretty sure I'm heading to Mark's for this pre-release. What time does he start? I'm hoping to get 3 events in. Can/do I pay in advance? Details appreciated please!
I don't understand how my reaction to a statement made in the clan forum, is "spam" . I mean I know the moderators gotta do their thing, but I feel that warning is completely out of line and just plain stupid/asanine. It's not spam, look how long I've been a member for...
So... New plainswalker is pretty insane IMO.. Looks like control got a really new good plainswalker!
I dunno, Zodiac Rooster may give it a good fight.
As said before, I like. I like a lot....
I know I may start a war with this query, but where do you find the best pizza in NY.... I thought asking actually New Yorkers may be better than some snobby critic..

DMX, read their definition of "spam." While I understand your point, it is what it is. Also, a better place to complain is via that mod's help desk.
