All returning guild leaders will be getting a new 2-color card. The Niv shown at Comic Con is from Duel Decks: Izzet vs Golgari, and he will not be reprinted as the same card.

It's a bit early and I guess there is a bit of doubt if it is legitimate.

You'll have a pretty hard time keeping Emrakul in your graveyard since Scavenge is a sorcery ability :-).

lol

Edit: also, emrakul would cost 15. Slightly less interesting .

I agree cards like dreadnought and Myr Superion, maybe even tarmo... but is it feasible? depends on how much that card would cost, but idk. maybe an enchantment.

I'm thinking we might see a reprint of scavenging ooze somewhere in this set due to the flavor of "scavenge"

And, there hasn't been a standalone (not reprint) planeswalker printed with the same cmc. For example we have a 3,4, and 5 cmc jace, a 3,4,5 lily, 4,5, 6 chandra etc. Maybe we will see a 2cmc, or a 1ur or uu jace?

Thoughts?

Wow....

I have seen this picture a lot every time I do some searching for Return to Ravnica. I haven't seen or heard anything confirming this card, so I assume it's a fake. However, if it were real, I would be so excited to see how U/R would work with this card in standard. (I thought of a lame mill deck with the Planeswalkers being Ral Zarek, and Jace Memory Adept.) Anyway, I hope it's real- but I ain't gonna' be disappointed if it's not.

This second thought doesn't necessarily pertain to Return to Ravnica, but no one has offered me a counter to this thought: Why are lands reprinted in every set if you could use old ones? I'm not complaining, I just thought about this the other day, and I wanted to see if there was any answer other than "They just can". When I searching for a Return to Ravnica spoiler, I found a page that said 20 cards were revealed. I clicked on that link just to see that it was only lands. The funny thing is that, I even said to myself 'Well, duh there is going to be lands'.

This day in age, even most cell phone cameras have auto-focus. Its not hard at all to get a shot without it being blurry. Could it be real...maybe, but more than likely not.

As for the lands, they like to use them to portray the environment of the plane that they are visiting. To show change over time. Compare Mirrodin basics to Scars and Innistrad to Avacyn Restored.

I agree- I would also think that if it didn't have auto focus, that desk or table would be fuzzy as well. Then again, I am no photographer.

Never thought of that, and it makes sense. Thanks for the info!
