I wouldn't so sure. Those things the Bant knights are riding have hooves, and none of the pictures have shown us their teeth yet. They could turn out to be herbivores.
Normally I could too, but considering this is Salvation, everyone will be in soon to object to that on the grounds that they think the entire Ravnica block should be reprinted in 11th Edition, and Serendib is a location clearly not in Ravnica.
That's the thing, white would have to get something of comparable power in return.
Mass removal barely exists in white anyway - I think they need to play up its aggro side more than its control side (or at least its aggro-control side with Sunlance, Oblivion Ring, and Glowrider) if they really want it to be both unique and successful.
Damnation works better for me as a short, punchy name than Wrath of God anyway.
Who in the hell would go on a cruise nowadays? If you don't get robbed, you'll get raped. If you don't get raped, you'll get robbed. And having to spend the entire time with Magic players would make it that much worse.
I think they actually almost excluded the painlands which referred to a place for that very reason, and then decided it would be dumb to make new pain lands with the old functionality but with different names.
Close. They excluded all ten painlands from Ravnica for that reason. They've been very clear, though, that there are certain sets where plane-specific names are not a barrier to reprints, the Core Set being one of them.
Ravnica was the beginning of the end. It was supposed to be about guilds aligned with two-color combinations, and instead it gave us three-color midrange decks with no bad matchups and which wouldn't even die to Blood Moon because of signets. Then they tried to recreate Ravnica's "success" in the Shadowmoor block, and surprise surprise, the exact same thing happened again. Kill the color pie and you kill Magic, and Ravnica's shocklands and signets made the differences between colors negligible.
You fail.
Personal Attacks on other members are not allowed. Flaming Infraction Issued.
That mechanic seems a little awkward. I'm not sure that's the sort of thing they'd design.
On the other hand, clash is awkward too, so whatever.

Then maybe they should find blue a different identity.
Counterspells are the least fun thing in all of Magic and I wish they would stop making them altogether.
That's what you people want, isn't it?

They made shocklands after literally ten years of saying that dual lands with basic land types were off limits.
They made Teferi.
They made Tarmogoyf.
They made Thoughtseize.
They made Bitterblossom.
Nothing is off-limits at this point.
Yep, that is indeed one reason why I stopped playing Extended tournaments.
Emotive, unsupported blanket statement.
Because they necessarily imply that the art, flavor, and gameplay will become like Yu-Gi-Oh!.
As for the rest, tl,b,s;dr.
Why?
