There seemed to be alot of nice rumors coming in a week ago to 3 weeks ago, But, to my knowledge, there are no new rumors for the last 5 or so days. It's less then 2 months to GP, shouldn't cards be "rolling in" now. I've never really followed the rumors to a set before, but Rav seemed to have every card found about a week before the prerelease. that's about 4 weeks from now. (I think :sweat:) Is this normal??? Do they all come bursting in the last 4-6 weeks?
It sort of varies from set to set. I haven't been following rumors THAT long, but I do know that during Kamigawa block rumors were very slow and we wouldn't figure out every card until the day of the prerelease. Ravnica on the other hand was very fast and we knew the whole set like 2 weeks before the prerelease even happened. I'm sure the cards for GP will roll in in a couple of weeks, but don't be surprised if they don't. Ravnica was an exceptionally fast rumor season.
God, I hope they don't at least until a couple of days before the prerelease. I know a few people whose prerelease was kind of ruined because of players who 'knew' what each card did while they were reading each card.

Well the smaller sets tend to be a little bit slower since there's less card to spoil. As for whether or not cards should be rolling in... a few smaller crappier cards should be rolling in if my memory serves me but should is different can. I'm guessing things are tighter locked this time for some reason. I have full confidence tho that we'll get more cards after Christmas tho. That alone could be another reason why things aren't going zooma zooma fast tho... (which I think is a good thing.... for now).
I think that Wizards is a little upset about all the leaks in the past. Right now I think the lack of information is due to them talking to their workers about keeping everything tight and what will happen if they get caught leaking information. I'm looking forward to the set but not as much as I would be if I had more information about the guilds.

The reason I play black according to CrovaxtheCursed:
As most have said, the floodgates should open soon with the magazine previews.
I think things seem to come sooner with the big sets, because we get tidbits like "The block focuses on ten guilds, each corresponding to a pair of colors!" which we don't have as much with the smaller sets.
If I rememeber right, with Betrayer's last year we got quite a bit of nice stuff the week around and after new year's dayish, so i think we still have a bit of time before we get the plethera of cards. Of course the PR is earlier, right? So i guess we can expect stuff within the next 2-3 weeks.

Waiting patiently for MTGO Leagues to become a priority again. It's been 4 years :sick:.
Drop by my Helpdesk if you have any questions/concerns on the Limited forum.
Excited for M13 Limited? What do you think the format will look like? Head over to the limited forum and let us know what you think.
I'm uncertain whether this is true or not, but I remembered having the entire spoiler revealed only during the 2nd week of the preview on MTG.com. By that time, we were only waiting to see the card pics to all the cards.
Hopefully someone will bring some good news from the magazines. (Blazing Archon had to be one of my most favorite during the rumour season.) Or maybe someone will scan a bunch of cards again. It is becoming duller only looking at the pics but not knowing what they are doing on paper.
Quote from Aaron Forsythe on Guildpact: Twenty Questions »
When Guildpact was handed over from design, it also had seven gold rares per guild,... and that the seventh gold rare in each guild was less important to the set than the Nephilim. So each guild is down a rare in this set.

Well, it is also possible that the reason the Ravnica rumor season was so good was that Wizards intentionally leaked a lot of info, resulting in EVERYONE wanting to buy Ravnica. Now that interest has been piqued, everyone already is in for the next set, so they don't need to leak stuff.

That counter acts some of our views of who the leak sources are: heroic, legendary rebals that risk it all to free information to the public.
I just hope its not on their project timeline "12/17/05- leak info on GP cards 97, 105"

You really can't get away.
I've tried.
i really dont mind waiting. sure i love looking and picking apart new cards, but look at the "custom sets". some of those guys know how to balance things, and it passes time almost as cool-ly as cards that will see print.

Sometimes we get a slow patch, but it's always followed up with some really juicy cards as a reward.
And besides, magazine previews are due this week and next, so we're bound to be swimming in GP info and rumors come Xmas day, no doubt.

3. That thread reads exactly the same as the one from the last rumour season. And the one before that. And the one before that.
