Assuming the Shocks are being reprinted, does this confirm they'll be in RtR or does it means they could be printed in the entire block?
All this confirms is that there is art that "sure as hell looks like Shocks." Nothing will be confirmed till we see the damn cards tonight at PAX party.
Woah. Just woah. These look freakin' amazing! Now I just need to wait for confirmation... curse my impatience!
Although, the first Planeswalker's Guide to RtR put me under the impression that the supposed Temple Garden art will be the art for the "Guild Land" (sort of the new Vitu-Ghazi, the City Tree). Personal speculation, of course, but that's just the impression I got. Of course, if the art is in the same "cycle" as the rest of the arts, then I would lean toward it being Temple Garden, if only because some of those other arts are simply too fitting for me to discount them as not-Shocks (specifically, the supposed Sacred Foundry, Hallowed Fountain, Breeding Pool, and Steam Vents).

Someday, I will own all of the dragons. All of them. 43/111, approximately 39% complete. Over a third done.
(calling it now; there will be a cycle of Legendary dual lands with Basic Land types in Theros block)
... AAAAAAAAND I was wrong
Honestly, most of these I'd rather have the originals. Kinda relieved. I'll still probably pick up new playsets of these too just for additional deckbuilding, but I'll be in no particular hurry to do it.
Why can't someone figure out a way to do Stomping Grounds right. Both versions are just ugly as hell and don't reflect what the guild is actually about at all. What's so hard about this? I'm really surprised at this new one--so much so I'm actually halfway doubting this is actually it.
Who? You should probably report them for selling proxies.
I don't think so- they're labeled as "presales,"
so I would think they plan to send the real cards once the set releases.
It's certainly shady, but I don't think it's that shady.

Yeah part of me is too, but the nasty greedy part of me (I'm normally very nice and really do want the Shocks to be in RTR).
This is the problem with "confirming" anything, suddenly people put crap on ebay and people who think something is confirmed goes and bids. Then we find out it's all different lands.

Oh I agree, and the only reason why it even crossed my mind today is because of all this stupid drama on the forums this week. Normally I would never even think such a childish thing.
Even if they aren't reprinted, I have some nice toys for Modern.
BTW, hoping they aren't reprinted is kinda tacky-
Just sayin'
You "messed up", regardless. If they are reprinted, which is about 100 to 1 more likely than the contrary, they will be going for less than what you paid for. And if they are not reprinted, the price will be pretty much the same. Unless I'm missing something and shocks plummeted in price this week because of the likelihood of being reprinted.

That's not "messing up" as long as you're willing to move them quickly. Assuming that shocklands are reprinted, you can count on a quick price spike immediately following release that will collapse as soon as supply catches up with demand.

I agree, right out of the gate we're going to see them be about as much as they are now I think, or just slightly less... then stabilize once T2 players get their copies.
They've been doing that for weeks,
running purely on speculation, I guess?

Yeah that happens a lot with other sets, though it is usually with stuff that has been confirmed by wizards.
Jace SHOULD be unbanned in modern. I hate all the people saying "JACE IS BROKEN OHMYGOD HE'LL TAKE OVER AND CAWBLADE WILL REIGN SUPREME AGAIN" when bloodbraid elf literally comes down after jace and kicks jace right in the crotch, takes jace's lunch money, and jace is left to bleed out on the sidewalk in agonizing pain.
For anyone that still has any doubt in their mind, RW definitely looks like a foundry, UW definitely looks like a fountain, RU definitely looks like vents of steam, and UG definitely looks like a pool with living creatures in it. I must say that a part of me that "hopes" these aren't the shocks is the same part that likes to find hilarity and the absurd in everyday life.

I agree. People have been saying that Wizards needs to make Modern and other formats more accessible by reprinting staples. Well, here are some Modern staples being reprinted. I got playsets back when Ravnica was printed, and I'll get new playsets now. It's always a wise investment to get cards that will always be good like lands.
If it IS shocklands... well I guess I can wait another two years to get back into standard. Maybe then I can develop a decent deck whos manabase doesn't cost over $100

What makes you think the shocklands will cost that much? Seachrome Coast has been the most important land in Standard for nearly two years and it hasn't broken $20. Hell, it never broke $10 while SOM was still being drafted. Rares are not as rare now as they were six years ago.

It will stabilize not collapse, but yah.

Given how popular Izzet is, giving them the Sinker PW spot would make a degree of sense.

Why? Because it decreases the health of the game?
