They've said the issue with 3rd sets that went too far away from the core were hard to draft. If you're going to commit to a RtR guild you want to be able to commit in DGM and pick up cross guild support fodder in GTC. 1-2 keyword spells wouldn't surprise me.

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
I don't see how this is at all suprising. I would think everyone knew the keywords would be returning, especially since all ten guilds will be in the set.

In my first post in this thread, I meant that if one of Unleash/Extort/etc. didn't come back in DGM, I would be shocked, and if every single one of them came, I wouldn't treat it as unusual.
Obviously all 10 keywords are back. What else would be in Dragon's Maze? It's just going to add a handful of new cards to each guild. Returning some keywords and not others would be unfair.

Not to mention wrong hearted. I mean, skipping out on a whole guild would be like Wizards saying " Gee golly gosh mtg community, pick guilds so we can crush your dreams when we announce DGM is 50% Izzet cards!".

OT: did anyone expect them NOT to have mechanics return?
I did, but only to be replaced by a broad mechanic that all the guilds could use. I don't think it would be too difficult of a set to draft considering even without the actual guild mechanics, the guilds themselves all work within their colors, mechanics or not. Thus, I was skeptical, but I figured they would just to finish up the design space.
It was at that moment that I realized: I'm kinda just making these things up. We can just write the rules the way we want them to work. People will have fun, and people will get it.

How do you feel about this? I am not that big of a fan of the mechanic, but I am willing to give it another try.
Really? All 10? Because I would love me some new Extort cards.
Extort is included in those, so yeah, there will be new Extort cards.
hahaha

So, having more mechanics than a normal block isn't enough? You need another?
I see.
