I can see some of the titans being reprinted. But not all of them. From m10-m11, we got 7 reprints of mythic, 5 planeswalkers. so why not throw in a few titans. but as others have said, ten reprints makes things awful boring. It is possible, but would be a bad move in my opinion.
Besides this, i doubt any of our three reprinted friends would make that big a difference. Only two would be any real threat to warp the meta, those being frost and grave titan. we all know that primeval by himself is not a good deck choice. As for frost titan, he's not that bad to have another year of. Grave titan is the only one that would bother me, but if this next set really is going to focus on mono-colors as some people think, I doubt grave titan would have much of a place
I gotta say, I love that blue Bear! It's totally bizarre seeing blue get a really aggressive 1 drop creature, but I actually rather like it flavor wise. Now as long as they don't go reprinting Tarmogoyf in blue or something crazy like that we'll be okay. Mono blue aggro that isn't merfolk just seems a little too weird to wrap my head around
Im not so sure that is. its possible, but when in recent years has Wizards printed a card for the first time with one art, commission a promo art for it, then commission a new art for it in the next core set all in the course of about a year?
I'm not sure, but the fact that the blue titan original art is terribad could have driven them to change their expected behavior. Mythics with lame art is a bad move.

I'm a Spike Vorthos - I love lore and flavor, but only if the cards are competition worthy.

Day of Judgment had 3 arts in 1 year. Zen, Buy a Box for Zen, and Full Art.
As others have pointed out, that blue creature art is most definitely a Sphinx creature. I just hope it is something more exciting than the vanilla Goliath Sphinx and friends. A new mythic Sphinx is always flavorful and good for capturing the attention of new players, especially if they do something unique.

Agree with queensauce, the blue guy is def. a Sphinx. You can see his wing curved up behind his head. Def. like the new planeswalker arts too. I'm hoping for new versions, but even if they are the originals, at least they are something new to look at. What do you think the chances of having new arts but not new planeswalkers is?
What I'm most tickled about is the fact that the "illusion bear" was actually a bear. That's awesome.
Hypothetical High Five, CapnL. That's the first thing I noticed is that he was a blue bear. Never seen that before. The flavor is weird but the card is cool. Don't know if I'd use it but it's just a neat card.
I also really like the direction of Bloodthirst. It'll help reinforce the idea of playing creatures in your second mainphase instead of before combat like many newer players do.
It seems we've gotten 2 soldiers and a slew of Vampires so far. Is this going to be a more tribally connected Core set or what?
I hate it when people say there's no chance (which means a 0% chance) that something isn't going to happen when they have no evidence (such as a quote) saying that it isn't possible. It's possible even if only a very slight percentage of it being possible that the Titans will be reprinted. We don't have any evidence one way or the other.
Also, has a Name/Number crunch been started for the set yet?
The reason for the Titan cycle was to have something splashy to make M11 unique. Why would they reprint that and just turn M12 into "M11 with bloodthirst instead of scry"?
I'm hoping the titans get reprinted as promos more, but they're not going to be reprinted in a core set.

Why reprint them?
They're flavorful, fit the bill well for Mythic, they're powerful and aren't $1 mythics -- most are worth something. And people like all those things.
And why would they do that ? just to please you ?
No.
²Goodbye titans², learn this song
something called promos which happened to include the three titans I mentioned is going on. would be a shame to give out cards to kids and say, oh wait you can't use these, aren't we funny.

And you can get all of those things from new cards, too, which will help to make M12 distinct from M11 and let M11 have the Titans as part of what makes it unique.

M11 is legal in Standard until Innistrad is released, which is still several months away. Plenty of time to play with your promo Titans. Compare to the first Deckbuilder's Toolkit product: it contained individual cards and boosters from M10, and a booster from Conflux, and was released not long before Scars of Mirrodin was released and both those sets rotated out of Standard.
Plus, you can continue playing Titans in Extended, which recently became a supported format for Friday Night Magic. What a coincidence!
I'm so happy that the titans are going to be reprinted now I can finally get the good black and green ones, or maybe just a 4 set of all of them, but I aiming for 4 primeval titan and in one of the booster pictures that is the new promo art for frost titan SO the titans are in M12 and I shall be happily booster drafting it
Did you miss the part where the all the reasonable posters said that the Titans weren't going to be reprinted?

Quote from oranges2 »
This guy, would either eat up several turns worth of mana to get a slow permanent that relies on your already have some board presence (after wasting said mana), or dies without generating any advantage.
The random blue thing is a sphinx. You can see it's wings. There is no chance titans are getting reprinted, at all. Just like JTMS isn't getting reprinted. No chance. Stop saying it.
Actually it is more in the air that they may, your info cant be any better than anyone else's. They were the most successful set of No PW mythics to be printed yet. And fopr the cry babys they are not op.
EDIT: Also, would you rather have the Titans or the most likley event of 5 new trash mythics. You have seen what they have done. Cant even Remember the name of that Horrible blue spell that replaced Time Warp, and nor do I ever care to, as it was a utter failure. The Titans where extremly balanced and well worked finishers, and I would rather see them again.
And Extended? Come on, nobody wants to play that dead format, It wont happen at FNMS hardley ever, Look at the PTQ numbers. Evidence enough.
However I wouldnt mind seeing a new Green or White Titan, the others are fine, those are just to conditional.
And you can get all of those things from new cards, too, which will help to make M12 distinct from M11 and let M11 have the Titans as part of what makes it unique.
Definitely! But the guy asked why would they reprint the Titans, and those were the reasons I could see.
But you know how hard Magic players are to please. I can easily envision a scenario where people are saying, "I wish they had just reprinted the Titans, this new cycle blows." Of course, Wizards has been on form lately so I'm sure whichever scenario plays out, it'll be for the best.
Moreover, I think it'd make more sense for people to complain about the same three Lorwyn planeswalkers sticking around, yet again, versus a cycle of awesome mythics coming back for the first time. It's nice Sorin and Gideon made an appearance, but as awesome as he is, busting a sixth Garruk Wildspeaker in the mythic slot is more underwhelming that opening Primeval Titan.
To go on record, I'd be completely happy with a new cycle of mythics, so long as they obtain all those values that I said the Titans have.
Does this mean the M12 spoiler season has officially begun since another website is previewing cards???
Wow, can't wait this summer; M12, Commander, FTV: Legends... there is much to be spoiled and keep my mind racing w/ deck ideas... I'm like a kid in a candy store
booo to new pw arts. booo to no new sengir vamp art.
but yay for confirmation on cards + names and faces for them

The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.
I invision a future where one is not mighty when he can silence a crowd with brutality,
but when he leaves them speechless with wisdom.
Yeah what the heck is wrong with people thinking that's Frost Titan.. lol His body clearly goes off to the left and those arms are pretty scrawny for a Titan.
Sorin's guys must have an effect when they're at 10 or lower/one of them should have Bloodthirst since he deals damage to them.

I'd rather not see the titans reprinted because they completely dominate the 6-spot, but if they are, at least they should become more affordable.
Also, no Sengir Femmepire. Oh well, I don't have any Kev Walker vamps.

Too bad we are getting THAT art for chandra. i dont like it one bit, but that's just me.
Overall i like the design of some of these cards. they really push you to play aggresively
