Academy Ruins [rare]
The cycle of vivid lands
Path to exile [uncommon]
Elspeth, Knight-Errant [mythic]
Narcomeber [new art]
Kitchen Finks [uncommon]
Spellstutter Sprite
Arcbound Ravager [rare - new art!]
Knight of the Reliquary [rare - old art, not the duel deck one]
Aether Vial [rare]
Pestermite
Judging by the set number of cards there is space for EITHER Glimmervoid OR Mutavault but NOT BOTH.
The red dragon from the cycle of Kamigawa dragons is in there as a mythic rare.
Echoing truth aswell as the green cycle of it are in there.
Based on the pictures on the front of the booster packs, Sword of Fire and Ice and Vedalken Shackles are in the set (shackles with new art). There are 3 different arts on the front of the packs, the 3rd is the new dark confidant.
I have no real evidence of any of this. Take it or leave it I don't care.

first post and look at that username. you have to be taking the piss. besides, anyone could have guessed most of this...

They usually put story focused characters or the "money makers" on the front, in this case they want to advertise some of the older cards I guess....
If you go back and look, this is not always the case. We see common characters and uncommon characters all the time. More often than not, it's "things that look awesome."
My only question is that they posted in the Speculation forum with a toungue in cheek name. Some of these choices wouldn't shock me at all, but it's the Vivid Lands that is the strike against IMO. We've already been number crunching possibilities on other threads for lands, and there really isn't any room for them unless they severely limit some obvious inclusions.
While not in any way credible, these at least seem reasonable.
Even the dragon.
If you look at Masters Edition sets on MTGO, there's a HUGE power level gap within each rarity. You get powerhouses and you get duds.
I would think this sort of decision at the Mythic slot has more to do with balancing the EV of each pack than the effect on Limited, though.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the Vivid lands, either. In MM Limited, we're going to need some mana fixing at uncommon and/or common, and these would work great for that. For those who disagree, do you feel there is a better cycle of uncommon or common lands that would work here? (the rare cycles don't count because those won't affect Limited very much, and they certainly aren't going to be shifted down in rarity).
Well, I do hope it's fake for the simple fact that a Sword of Fire and Ice reprint without new art by Chris Rahn to mirror the new Mirrodin swords is criminal!
No one notice he listed Arcbound Ravager. LOL. This is a draft set. Why would they waste a Rare or even a mythic for a card that, unless they fill the set weth artifacts, would be literally unplayable

I imagine they'll enable artifact-heavy strategies the same way they enable them in Cube — by printing cards like Aether Spellbomb that slot into multiple archetypes (can be used as another artifact in artifact decks, can be used in control, can just cantrip if you need it too, can be a weak Storm enabler, etc.).
Ravager won't be quite the powerhouse it is in constructed, but you could probably draft a deck around it if you really tried.
That being said, Goyf is also pretty horrible in Limited. I feel like the rare and mythic slots have a little more freedom from having to be good in Limited, though. The commons and uncommons are much more important to the format.
Other than Ryusei, the rest seem plausible enough. I know red doesn't have many money mythics, but at least don't waste a mythic slot for an unplayable dragon... Even Bogardan Hellkite would be better than Ryusei.

Please, EVERY set has rares and mythics that are useless in draft.

Actually now that I think about it, It could very possibly be a new art for SoFI.
All I remember is the sword was colored red and blue and was facing the same way as the old art.

... except for the highly unlikely ryusei, the falling star at mythic

Godo: Strap him up and turn him sideways!
Well because obviously I'd use my actual account to leak a bunch of information right?
Also confirmed are:
Kataki, War's Wage [rare]
Grapeshot [common]
Empty the warrens
Desperate ritual
Humm I don't think soo ...
Interesting anyways. Thanks for info.
Damn, those were some of things I was really looking towards to!
I hope OP is wrong
i saw some lists with the white one
soo you have seen the boosters packs for MM? how?
(Red is, however, an odd color in Modern, as the only expensive mono-red card is Kiki-Jiki.)
