Merfolk would be very nice, I jsut hope its not rebels... I've had my fill of them, though it would fit with that one of thing (whipcorder).

Did anyone here ever consider that Merfolk could be Black? I mean, think of it, fat ugly merfolk crusing in the sewers, dealing in information and humanoid blood, killing those who stray too far into the sewers, living off the flesh of ratlike bests living in the underbelly of the city.
Me likey the evilness of that thought!
There are several ways of interpretting this. The two that stand out the most are "more than one" as in more than one card in the entire magic world, in which case I'd say something to the effect of Hero or Nekrataal. Then you could interpret it as "more than one" as in more than the usual one per set, in which case Vampire is the most obvious choice.
Although I do think that Merfolk coming back has a very good chance.
:dance2: I still say it's going to be Orcs. I mean, we haven't had any legit orcs (excluding Ultimus) since Weatherlight and it's hightime we had some nosepickers kicking around. Kobolds would be cool considering they do tend to be scavengers, and in this environment it is the perfect setting for them to be present in. They are sneaky and more or less intellegent than Goblins...so that leads to some idea that they may be kicking around sooner or later.
And for some reason I think the expansion symbol will be circular, resembling a ring of some sort. :dance2::lock:
treefolk! i hope...okay, they won't do treefolk in a city...*sigh*
but wizards said it retired blue "underwater creature types" because they wanted a "fights well on land" policy for :symu:. i mean, c'mon, how do you justify "my rootwater commando blocks your mirri"?
the merfolk could function like the Saprazzans did in Masques; they're higher-evolved merfolk with the ability to walk on land and revert to "fishtails" in water. I wouldn't disclose it entirely or take what Wizards says as verbatim. I mean, they've done some sneaky things before so I wouldn't be too reliant on their policies.

I see two types being serious contenders
Dwarves and Townfolk
I see the dwarves as master craftsmen helping build the city or the townfolk being the people that take up space, I mean we cant just have Soldiers, and other militant types making up the majority of the population but that is just my two cents
i feel that it will be rebels...fits the one of and plus...the can just make them worse then they did befor...if they do reprint rebels...they probably wouldn't be as powerful as they were befor...

I doubt it will be townsfolk. If they go deep into classes we will have like: Human shopkeeper, human trader, human acountant, human banker, human tavernhooker, etc.. (Im gonna get a playset of human tavernhookers :P)
Dwarves would fit very nicley indeed but afaik it doesnt fit with the "more then one" comment. But vampires do. I actually doubt theyll do anything as cool as vampires but it fits really well with that little slight hint as well as fitting the flavour

Brian Tinsman, Set Designer :?mana::snow::snow:
Legendary Creature – Human Designer (MR)
Brian Tinsman, Set Designer can only be cast during the third set of a block.
When Brian Tinsman, Set Designer enters the battlefield, ignore all flavor and mechanics of the first two sets in the block. "Ok so what do we have here... gothic horror? Scrap it. Expand the Devine Vs. Demonic duel deck to 244 cards and print it!"
2/2
Hmm... kobolds and/or orcs could replace the goblins for the coming block. Goblins were last left out of a block with Odyssey... that's a long time ago! Dwarves would fit too... and minotaurs are cool :smile2: seriously, what color has such a great range of likable (semi-)intelligent creatures?
I'ld really love (small) vampires and mercenaries in black... I mean... how cool would a Creature - Vampire Mercenary be?!? (Honorable mention for horrors by the way.)
Blue can keep its wizards, I've yet to see a succesful wiz deck... pirates would be way cool though, and fitting!
White... hmm... soldiers and clerics are just fine in a city. Maybe townsfolk? Aha, and maybe, in a city you know, gargoyles!
Green... I'ld love armadillo people!!! Besides, what would a druid or an elf seek in a city? Yeah I know... "What would an aramadillo guy seek in a city?" you ask... well... uhm... bees would be cool! Seriously, if they can make snake people they can make bee people, and what industrious race of vermin would be better suited for life in a bustling city? Save for ants
Oh, and don't read to much into the "more than one" statement. It seems more like an "I promise you this in return for more than one, don't trick me and put only one in the set!"
Hm. Spikes seems reasonable enough. I just don't get the kobold w00ting, though. Until this thread, I've never known anyone who thought the kobolds were w00t-worthy... + I was playing when they were released in Legends.
I got the impression that whichever type they were bringing back would be one from a while back, not just relatively recently. Merfolk and Townsfolk were my first guesses, actually. Gnomes being a pretty cool possibility, too. Wasn't there a recent article on mtg.com where someone mentioned that if they ever did gnomes again, they'd be in red and not artifacts?
Dwarves may be likely, but they had their big revival in the Odyssey block. Orcs are a maybe, even though I'm not sure how they fit in a world filled with cities. Ogres just got brought back for Kamigawa, so they can't be it. Perhaps Rebels and Mercenaries? I doubt they'd ever revive the Rebels, but maybe Mercs, they weren't too broken. Or perhaps Dryads, not that they were ever popular. MaRo could've been talking about any one of hundreds of creature types. But at least something's getting revived.
Asking people to remove quotes in their signatures is tyranny! If I can't say something just because someone's feelings are hurt then no one would ever be able to say anything! Political correctness is stupid.
Dunno about anyone else, but when I think of guilds I think of a bunch of mis-matched adventurers persuing a dream to become a master in a certain trade, since that afterall is the definition of a guild... Also there may be five main guilds that could end up being a basis for much of the block. or maybe have a bunch of them, like an assassins guild, a artificers guild, a theifs guild and such, which all have specific guild realated abilities.
Hmmm...Ravnica: City of Guilds...
I'd personally like Vampires to have a sort of Oni for Kamigawa feel. There are 8 so far, with six cards that reference them. That way, we could have a few good vampires. Instead of a major Guild, just little 'background flavor'.
But when I saw Griffin, I had this really odd thought. Like the Armadillo-People?
What if White had...Griffin-People. Kind of Leonin with Aven heads, arms, and wings. I do forsee a return of Bureaucrats, as a large city would probably be filled with bureaucracy. The Griffin people could take of it. And eat the hearts of those who don't obey! That'd be pretty cool. A white card, showing one gorging on a creatures chest, destroys target creature with power la-de-da. Heh.
But somehow I doubt it.
Speaking of bees, a hive that follows a Queen, I think we could all think of a creature type that only saw one card last time one was printed, and that some players love.
Perhaps that's why Sliver and Onions was dropped from Unhinged...a return of Slivers. *shudders*
Compared to that, I'll take Merfolk.

This Awe-inspiring sig came from Topher's Sig Shop. Created by Polyjak.
Didnt they say there would be sewers under the city itself? if so maybe thats where the merfolk will be. It would be cool to see an underground society.
Blue usualy is a head society id like to see it get trudged on a little...
Id also like a green villain and since green doesnt really fit in a city maybe theyl be trying to destroy it?

a) Spikes as pets that run rampant and go out of control!!! (Spikes Gone Wild, order your copy today, $19.95, not available in stores!)
b) Spikes as nature's way of saying "Enough with the cities and the buildings and the freeways, *goiter*..."
c) Spikes. Just because. MaRo said.
Anyway, spikes get my vote. I feel sad to say it, but I've pretty much given up on the merfolk...
I want Homarids! (hehe... they sould like Himroids) any-who, I like em'. true they could have used more work... but h well... I guess they'll never come back...

Its perfectly logical, they were a cool cycle of cards in MM and hey, the flavor seems perfect to me.
