Yay: Bottle Gnomes, Coat of Arms, Icy (nice to see this get some base set recognition again), Jester's Cap (mmmmm, library destruction is going to be quite playable), Fellwar Stone, Orni (nice to have 0cc spells in the Core), Slate (creature decks are fun), painlands (although I think the RAV duals will see much more play), Thran Golem, Loxodon Warhammer (solidifying equipment as a permanent card subtype), Millstone, Urzatron.
Arg: Dancing Scimitar (if this is rare again, I'm going to use it to chop up WotC employees), Disrupting Scepter (this makes me want to burp and gag), Kraken’s Eye (burrrrrp :sick:).
Wow, all 10 painlands.
That is certainly nice to see.
The artifact selection looks decent, we have the 'steel charms, we have Ice Age cards coming back to the main set...woooo
Booby Trap...there has to be a really weird one for each color I guess.
Are you holding off green for last for a reason R_E?
Oh yea, I love the Slate of Ancestry. In certain decks...it is just amazing.
I had it in my Elf deck on MODO.

Hang on, I need my gibber-to-english dictionary. Ah yes, here it is,
The first base set in a whiiiiillleee to remove City of Brass. Wow. But who the hell cares with the inclusion of all ten painlands? Icy and Cap are back in the same set? Oh man, if this keeps up I'm gonna jizzle all over Ranque's new shiny car and run off with his kid to Alcatraz.
Ahh, the days of 4th edition and Ice Age are back. Wheeee!

yeah all 10 pains! wow - whould thunk?
This is insanity!!!
EDIT - and now that we have the cap in here too we pretty well know that the wine ad is true.
The hippy number is the same, and we have cap, the other cards have been previously confirmed.
sweeeeeeeet.
Cap and Cranial Extraction?!?!?! t2 is going to be insane until sept 06!
All ten painlands...that is fantastic. I have no idea what the RAV duals are but these is jsut excellent. I really was hoping for some better equip, the war hammer just doesn't do it for me.
Finally Ornithopter is in a core set... I can continue collectig these things since their price rise in Mirrodin.... I alreafy have 280 Ornithopters...
And all 10 painlands are in... Excellent...
Ravnica prelude...
Wow, City of Brass is gone. I didn't think that would happen. None of the artifacts on this list really impress me as far as constructed goes. Quicksand is probably going to be the most played card on that list (the urza tron will most likely fall out of flavor when Tooth goes).
This is the best confirmation i've heard in a long time. All 10 Pain lands. Wow. Standard is going to be great once this rotates in...
An interesting thing to note is that these lands, along with jester's cap etc seem to indicate that Wizards has finally put more thought into what type of cards will make people buy the core set; lands for the tournament players, cap and hyppie for those who remember the "good old days", and simple cards for new players. That plus the addition of trample, protection, etc seems like they're really starting to get the hang of this! (though i tend to be optimistic ;))
Thats kind of ironic that they decided to remove CoB when a multicolor block is about to come out. But I guess since RAV is about 2 color guilds, the 10 pains is more than enough to fill its spot. Unless CoB makes a RAV debut.....:xd:

By far the best spoiler yet. I'm really happy they reprinted the painlands again. The synergy with Ravnica practically demands it (if the rumors hold true). And I'm sure we shouldn't worry about CoB's absence, we'll surely see a variant (or even CoB itself) somewhere in the Ravnica block.

Booby Trap in the base? I'm always happy to see Tempest cards come back. Looks like the Charms rotated in as predicted. I can't help but feel that 9th will be the strongest base set since 4th.

Good stuff: Ornithopter, Jester's Cap, Loxodon Warhammer, Thran Golem, Painlands, Booby Trap
Good news: New set of "lucky charms." They still suck, but they're better than the originals.
Bad stuff: Tanglebloom, Urzatron (damn Tooth!)
The guys who said that the only Eqiupment was Warhammer and Morningstar was right.
10 PAINLANDS! I believed! And I was right to believe!
Quicksand is very interesting. There's so many classics coming back in 9th. Now where's our green?!
(Also known as Xenphire)
Could it possibly be due to Rancor?
anyways... Nothing Jumps out here...reprints from MD5, TRoN, painlands, and some random sprinklings,
