My FNM does rare-backdraft drafts, so no slamming a shockland for it's monetary value, it's always about building the best deck...
In any case, this is good to see. I really hope they get spoiled early so it can shut the naysayers up.
I've never done a draft like that, but I can't wait to start this week ((tomorrow actually ( 7 bucks, sweet deal)). I'm kinda tired of gobbling 4-5 dollar cards out of greed. It will be weird to see late shocks though, that's for sure.

Not Overgrown Tomb- there is a visible Dimir Sigil in that one. It could be Watery Grave if they decided to put the Guild Marks on them.
However, that wolf-rider looks like it could indeed be the Selesnya Champion!
EDIT: Since the Signets may very well be back, could that possibly be... Dimir Aqueduct?!
If so, I need four in foil, STAT.
Duh its Tolsmir Wolf blood with Voja

I am now fairly certain that I've nabbed all the new art. Watching the slide like a hawk, I've seen every new Art about 5 times, so it will be very unlikely that are more in this current rotation.
Is she the izzet guildmage? Sure seems a shame to waste such cleavage on a generic character. They alone should make the card legendary.

**** this site. I'd delete this account but that doesn't seem to be an option. The mods here are ******* useless ********s who ban people for simple ass normal words. **** them and **** this site.
Those could easily be for new duals or for another land cycle. I don't see confirmation anywhere
Wrong. They couldnt easily be for new duals. Its pretty far-fetched to think they created a new dual land cycle for a set of duals that has art that evokes the old cycle of lands, which by the way, have been hinted at for quite some time.

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.
Pretty much.
And since WotC aren't totally clueless and know we will be bombarding them with questions,
I wouldn't be surprised if we get official confirmation this week.

I tHink it's a little odd that the only artwork that looks like it represents a non RTR guild is the supposed sacred foundry art. This makes me think that it's not even a RW card
Or perhaps all 10 duals are in RTR and that's what the 5 extra cards are for

Currently living in Tokyo Japan looking for a good shop near my house. If anyone can help me out please let me know.

There's dimir art as well (GTC) which might be Watery grave.
Like others have said, I think they just want the block to have a cohesive field so they are showing us completed cycles rather than just the RTR guilds.
Because I guess that's what the hoards think they want.
Yeah really. Everyone loves Shocks because they're good (meaning, they're the third best cycle of lands) in Modern. Since Modern said they would start printing some Modern staples less than a year ago (long after RTR began development) people start assuming that Shocks will be back. But the only supporting evidence is that Shocks come from RAV, and we're returning this fall. Even all of the "basic land type" stuff in M13 is only pointing to nonbasics with basic land types. These images could easily be from a new Mountain Plains.

Creative Director: For this mountain, we going to focus on an anvil.
Aaron: Is an anvil resonant of a mountain?
Creative Director: Well, the only one so far is Sacred Foundry but I think it'll work for a mountain.
Aaron: Ok. cool go for it.
Creative Director: And for this island, we want to focus on a fountain.
Aaron: Like Hallowed Fountain? Perfectly symmetrical logic, go for it.

It'd be nice to have sleeves for each guildmage.
man, that guy is EVERYWHERE, but can he really top the OG izzet guildmage? I loved that guy.

I'll laugh even harder if they do reprint them but they use different artwork from this stuff

That thing looks way more like a sacred foundry than the original Sacred Foundry.
I mean, really. Look at it. It's a giant anvil with melted metal flowing from it. All under a bright sun.
