Assembling contraptions looks like soulbound ability to me. only that its on artifacts and needs something that would assemble contraptions.
Hypotetically, rules would look just like for paired creatures, with maybe one exception:
"Assembled artifacts act as one artifact". (Just for fun).
Prism manalith 3
artifact - contraption
T: add 1 mana to your mana pool.
If Prism manalith is assembled, it gains T: add 1 mana of any color to your mana pool for each assembled contraption.
Yeah. This sucks. They could easily put some good stuff in each helvault, instead of random ones full of good *snip* and rest with only crap.
like:
Demonic Tutor for top 1
textless wraths/damnations for top4
Some random promo angels/demons/spells for top 8.
foil tokens for top16
normal tokens for the rest.
and oversized cards at random for everybody.
Its not as simple as more supply= lower price. If demand grows exponentially larger than the supply has grown, then prices will go up.
Look at Solemn Simalcrum. It got reprinted and went from a $3-$4 card, all the way up to $15 at maximum. Supply did increase, but demand did as well, but moreso.
To use a non-mtg example: The price of corn. In 2001, the U.S. produced 9.5 Billion Bushels of corn, which traded for about 210 cents a bushel ($2.10). Last Year, production was up to 12.4 Billion. It would be assumed that the price should of gone down.... it didn't... In that time, demand has gone up enough to where it now trades for 687 cents a bushel ($6.87).
My point in all of this is that just because supply is higher, if demand grows even faster, prices still can go up.
yeah, but as i said in another thread, solemn is one of 10 cards that are worth more than 5$ in m12. (most are mythics anyway). I don't think that each reprinted shockland will get so much attention, AND there will be playable muthics/rares/ uncommons, that will actually keep other cards price lower. (like jace2.0 did to zendikar block)
Watch for those ravnica dual lands coming up real soon in the next couple of weeks. Depends on when they decide to spoil them but i have a sneaking suspiscion they will be in AVR
Very unlikely. They already printed enemy duals in this block... Ravnica fits perfectly as a Block to reprint duals. (Maybe in reverted order, than last time).
9-12$. Seriously, most modern players already have playset of rav duals that they need, so they don't need new ones so much. Standard players will need them for sure (oh, and extended, but who plays extended anyway...).
I would guess Shocklands and an Iconic card from each guild.
Edit: People are making too much of a big deal out of the disbanding of the guilds, I think. It's not that they're gone, it's just that without the Guildpact they lost their inherent power. Now they're actually guilds instead of the ten monolithic centers of Ravnican Existence. Ravnica would've undergone a cataclysm if they'd actually disbanded, since Boros made up the entire police force and the Golgari were responsible for feeding huge swaths of the poorer populations.
I would guess we'll see a cycle for each guild: A Common, an Uncommon, a Rare, and an iconic reprint. There will probably also be a few other cards sprinkled in with guild watermarks. My guess is what's left of the guilds will be entirely backdrop, and not at all the focus of the set.
Cycle of cards for each guild looks promising to me. definitely one of the best ideas here.
Well, NO.
It's actually after change in golgari guild leader, as we can read in annoucement. Jarad became leader after sisters of stone- something

It would definitely feel more equal to everybody.
Do not evade the censor --Sabett
4/3 for R, or 4 dmg for R.
This card is insane.

yeah, what is the source of this?

Niv-Mizzet is alive and kickin. Could be a planeswalker right now...
other than that:
Lightning helix Seriously, one of the best burn spell ever printed. 3 dmg. 3 life. 2 mana. Perfect combination.
Multicolor should't be too common in core set. Unless they reprint all 10 of duals.
