Lotus Petal isn't completely unlikely. Mana Crypt and Chrome Mox are both zero mana too but they are at mythic rarity. If lotus is at rare it could make sense to help support a storm theme. In a full box you might get 1-2 of these cards.

I really hope that 01 is Aven Mindcensor, good uncommon, unique effect... and fist print in a regular frame (not the ugly future shifted one)

"The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again"
why the crunch numbers are still uneven between colors?
1-37 -> 37 W
38-75 -> 37 U
76-116 -> 41 B
117-157 -> 40 R
158-193 -> 35 G
we have no clue about disparities and no revealed cards face to face that marks color borders.
having 4 cards after vampiric in black and 3 after Worldgorger in red is highly unlikely

I am still unsure of the numbers in the set, and I am fluctuating them as the new cards get spoiled. There were uneven numbers of colors in MM and MM15.
why everyone is still asking for chain lighting at rare (or someone even mythic)?
it was a common originally like Lightning Bolt who got bumped to uncommon in MM, Chain may be a bit rarer to find, but still less powerfull, if CL is reprinted (and I hope so for the contest) it will be at MAXIMUM an UC.
Goblin Guide at Mythic is out as we alredy have 2 red Mythic (and a RU multicolor) and I don't think we will have more than 2 mythic per color

I wouldn't be surprised if there were none land cycles in there. Wirewood Lodge seems like a nice fit for elves archetype and fits the crunch. Other than that, Rishadan Port, Phyrexian Tower, Ancient Tomb (maybe even Cabal Coffers, Cephalid Coliseum etc.) are great utility lands to reprint that can't be in standard (I don't think filters would be too strong for T2).
One blue card between Daze and Diminishing Returns -- with Flashback being confirmed as a draft archetype for U/G, I'm guessing it's Deep Analysis. It could also be Dig Through Time I suppose. The two between Returns and Force are a bit harder to figure out. Energy Field would be kind of fun. Ensoul Artifact? Flusterstorm? Forbid?
I feel like the cards between Sylvan Library and Timberwatch Elf should be guessable too but I'm not sure how to efficiently search for cards that fit in that interval.
Total side note but I like how people are discussing running this over itself.
Well, it has to be said that Kolaghan is clearly better than Kolaghan. Considering what BR decks usually want and how stiff the competition in this guild is, there is no way that I would run Kolaghan over Kolaghan! Kolaghan might make it in as the sixth guild card or so. Kolaghan on the other hand ranks several places below that.
It was so funny to me when they described this as a downgrade to the original Zurgo during the Pax East panel. I was thinking if this is a downgrade, they should really "downgrade" all legendary creatures. Haha.
My deck designing is quite concise at this point:
1. Come up with deck idea
2. Realize this idea is somehow fundamentally similar to another deck I have or that is commonly played in my group
3. Decide I don't want to disassemble one of my existing decks
4. Give up and do nothing
I don't see the point of this new shroud mechanic. It's strictly worse than Hexproof. Threshold is pretty bad too, Delirium is a much better mechanic and probably easier to activate.
Otherwise this card is a pretty neat guy. Dodges removal and grows into a Primal Huntbeast. 3/5

Yeah, I was thinking it could be Counterspell or that. I am now tilting towards Counterbalance as well. Gotta start putting specs into the crunch.

There is also a five card gap in the lands that fits four filters and Rishadan Port - so that seems potent.

Edit: Before I made this post it was at #45 from what I saw.
I'm willing to bet we will see Grindstone and Painter's Servant.
Chain Lightning at Rare. Goblin Guide at Mythic.
Berserk at Mythic.
Auramancer at Common.
Martyr's Bond reprint at Rare.
These are my predictions so far

Edited my post above, but when I looked it was in position 45.
Yeah, I edited it when I saw the notification with the message. I am checking in and correcting as they come in. Thanks for the notice.

EDIT: Sylvan Safekeeper? Tarmogoyf? Tilling Treefolk? And for the space between Bloodbraid and Dack -- Captain Sisay or Cavern Harpy?
