I like that there going back to Ravnica, but I wonder if they're running out of ideas. Two of the last three sets are repeats for settings. Are we going back to Dominaria, Lorwyn and Alara after this? The mechanics for Avacyn Restored are Undying, Soulbond and Miracle (aka topdeck). Soulbound lets you pair up creatures to give them a benefit. Miracle lets you cast a spell for an alternate cost if it's the first card you have drawn this turn. There are no black miracles. There will be at least three other legendary angels outside of Avacyn, one for each flight. Based on the one below, I assume that they are GW, WU and WR. Spoiler for Cards from Avacyn Restored + Show Spoiler + Silverblade Paladin 1WW Creature - Human Knight Soulbond - You may pair this creature with another unpaired creature when either enters the battlefield. they remain pIaired for as long as you control both of them.) As long as Silverblade Paladin is paired with another creature, both creatures have double strike. 2/2 -------- Demonlord of Ashmouth 2BB Creature - Demon Flying, Undying When Demonlord of Ashmouth enters the battlefield, exile it unless you sacrifice a creature. 5/4 ------------- Restoration Angel - 3W Creature - Angel Flash, Flying When Restoration Angel enters the battlefield, you may exile target non-angel creature you control then return that creature to the battlefield under your control. 3/4 ------------- Thunderous Wrath 4RR Instant Thunderous Wrath Deals 5 damage to target creature or player. Miracle R (You may cast this card for its Miracle cost when you draw it if it's the first card you drew this turn.) ------------- Sigarda, Host of Herons 2GWW Legendary Creatue - Angel Flying, Hexproof Spells and abilities your opponents control can't cause you to sacrifice permanents. 5/5 | ||

Burn decks are now good in Modern, that's seriously the craziest thing I've ever seen. | ||

But on the part of the Ravnica making a return, any chance of posting up the source for that speculation? | ||

Might come back now just because of this. Limited Ravnica was sooooooooo fun. | ||

Gideon left for Ravnica at the end of Rise of Eldrazi, Jace most likely did something similar, Chandra probably wandering around somewhere. Nicol Bolas controls the major organization in Ravnica. Garruk's going to where Liliana is going provided they don't end that plot line at Avacyn Restored, probably somewhere on Ravnica to find her next target demon. Pretty much they're just building up to Nicol Bolas' grand plan to get his old powers back. Anyways, the cards makes me want to play Junk in standard. Also, Ravnica also excuses them for reprinting some of the old lands to fix the atrocious mana in the upcoming Standard (I can't see them reprinting the core set duals again). | ||

Turn One: Champion of the Parish Turn Two: Gather the Townsfolk, swing for three Turn Three: Silverblade Paladin, Soulbind the Champion, swing for 10 Turn Four: Fiend Hunter their guy, swing for 16? I think the Restoration Angel could see a lot of play. Snapcasters 5-8 for double the cost? It leaves a much better body around then Snapcaster does as well. I was wondering to myself the other day if the presence of Snapcaster Mage would prevent them from reprinting Astral Slide the next time they did a set with cycling as it might be too powerful. All the clone effects and now this might just nullify that theory though.

Could/would/should they ever do that? I know that core sets are mostly reprints, but an expert level set with only a handfull of new cards? Also, spoiler season just makes me giddy. Think of all the possibilities! | ||

They have a picture of Jace and what appears to be Niv-Mizzet together. I hope Niv-Mizzet beat the crap out of Jace. These planewalkers seems too powerful for my liking. | ||

Which organization does Bolas control? The Black/Red Demon one? Or the Blue/Black Szadek One? EDIT: Also, does Miracle mean that players can't do that weird shuffle when they draw? I never do, but a lot of guys do. It doesn't really bother me. Or is it that you can't even put the card into your "hand," you just draw, look at it and cast it? | ||

Nicol Bolas controls the Consoritum, the crime syndicate that took over afterwards. Also, I just played 3 drafts, one swiss, 2 8-4s. In every match except one, I lost at least 1 game to mana screw. I hate my life. | ||

Miracle means you play it during your draw step (or whenever you draw cards) as soon as you draw it, card will never hit your hand. It's like Delver's triggers if you want to think about it like that. Yes it does mean, if they draw it into their hand and then start shuffling (it's a good habit to get into) their hand before making a play, they will not be able to miracle cast it. | ||

I wonder how far they are going to push them though. Five damage for one mana is quite powerful, and pretty stupid at uncommon for draft purposes. What's a mythic miracle look like? | ||

I love the Avacyn cards. For a newbie, what are miracles? NVM, didn't click on the last spoiler. | ||
