You could even say it's been flashed back... dundundun.


That's pretty exciting, though.

I like the concept of a Medieval type setting.

I mean, let's count the various "cultures"

African Culture - Mirage Block

Antiquity/Time Manipulation - Urza's Block

Gaelic - Lorwyn

Asian - Kamigawa

Barbaric - Odyssey

Nature/Tribal - Tempest/MMQ

Guild/Select Groups - Ravnica/Shards

Medieval/Serfdom - Innistrad Block

I dig the art from that article that was revealed. Reminds me of Fable 2. Pretty stoked to see the lands.

Don't forget Arabian Nights. Innistrad to me also has a bit of early Colonial America feel to it. Might just be the hats though.

Still waiting for an Aztec like environment, or a Prehistoric set, but my ultimate would be a return to Rabiah.

Yeah. Forgot Arabian Nights.

Yeah, you might be right about the Colonial America theme, but the art still gave me that type of feel with Transylvania and Europe and what not. So we can agree on a possible High Middle Ages - Late Middle Ages, Early Colonization Period feel (roughly 1300-1700).

Personally, I would like a Nordic themed set. Ice Age has the feel because of the snow, but the theme isn't there.

Prehistoric would be interesting, but hard to do a storyline since not many humans.

Aztec/South American would be interesting for sure.

As for Day and Night...a lot of speculation running around. From the looks of it, it might just be a mirran/phyrexian thing combined with a planar chaos planeshifted thing, because that werewolf Lord creatures seems to be it's own card.
Like the framing though - reminds me a lot of planeshifted from PLC (i've already mentioned in my interview thread that I hate the new card frames).

The human looks like Daniel Day Lewis, can't say the mechanism seems that interesting so far though.

I could see one or the other, but probably not both, since they're such easy ways to sell packs. It's also worth considering their respective impacts on modern. If some sort of duals might be beneficial, then we may indeed see them soon.

Hey... Night/Day duals would be pretty cool, actually. Something like :

Day Night Dual
Land - Island Swamp
Night/Day (When the first permanent with the Night/Day mechanic comes into play under your control, choose either Night or Day. It's N or D for you for the rest of the game.)
T: Add B to your mana pool if it's Night. Add U to your mana pool if it's Day.

Or could be a cycle of River of Tears, which WAS future-shifted.

But on a Green/White dual, what would be day vs. night? Would White/Plains always be day? Seems like a hard distinction to make

If you are implying Black is always night, then that would be very similar to the Torment lands...

Could be. Not much of a dual, though.

I don't think you'd have to stipulate that some colours are always Day/Night. Frankly, it doesn't seem to matter too much, except that you might re-tool the card name a bit to fit whichever Day/Night combination is stipulated for the mana.

White wouldn't always have to be day. Spirits are clearly more of a nighttime thing, but the spectral rider and arcane are/were white. I'm curious now.

I thought it'd be based on phases of a turn, or turn progression. Oh well, guess we'll find out as it goes on.

Also, goas, is that really a line from prufrock in your profile? Haha. I just noticed it now.

A few ideas (although I really don't like any of them)...

"Day" is during your pre-combat main phase;
"Night" is during your post-combat main phase.

"Day" and "Night" alternate on your turns...Day on one turn, changing to Night on your next turn...kind of like "Phasing" did.

When anyone plays a "Day" card, it changes all cards to their "Day" versions;
When anyone plays a "Night" card, it changes all cards to their "Night" versions.
(could get really complicated with Day and Night cards mixed on the stack)

...

Also, cards could be printed two-sided, with the "Day" version on one side, and the "Night" version on the other.
(though I *really* doubt this one, because it would cause all kinds of problems with sleeves, shuffling, and such)

If the Day/Night versions are combined on the same card in some way I imagine it will be as flip or split cards.

Oh wait..

Well day (phase) and night (phase) sound like werewolf flavor. I mean the ubb werewolf games have the 2 phases and certain rules as to what can and can not happen during each phase.
