Pointed Discussion

I will probably run this card more consistently than any other card in Innistrad. I'm getting Izzet tingles down my spine just thinking about enemy lands and the upcoming Ravnica block!

Wait, we're getting another Ravnica block? Where'd you hear this?

Ravnica? Sweet! I hope so

While I'm glad for a new Ravinca block, and I'll probably buy like a dozen boosters for it, I'm waiting for a return to Alara, with enemy shards this time. There was that cycle of dragons from Planeshifted...

Hehe, got one from a fat pack. As an Izzet myself, I was overjoyed. Got the W/B land too.

Yeah, Ravvy's our next block. The original was my favorite block ever, so I'm pretty pumped.

But but but....... demons are black. SILLY DEMONS LOL

where did everyone hear about an upcoming Ravnica block?! I couldn't find any info on that. Still, I really hope that it's true.

They're plotting with demonic forces because they're trying to sell their souls for air fresheners because their base SMELLS OF FARTS!

@bowlofgumbo
They've already done enemy shards in Apocolypse.
The Volver cylce is all wedges.

All these comments are going to look so stupid when we don't have Ravnica nor Alara any time soon.

@Enemy_Tricolor

Check again.

Not to burst everyone's bubble, but the "return to Ravnica" rumor that showed up on MTGSalvation was retracted, with their source saying the next block is definitely not Ravnica.

Whatever happens, enemy-colored dual lands are great. My second favorite behind Isolated Chapel.

EDIT: Indeed, I was wrong. Ravnica's awesome, though, so I'm not too butt-hurt.

Could you people stop to give unofficial (and false) spoilers away? It bothers a lot to hear about what next year plane will be something like a year before. Moreover you don't have a clue, and is actually a lie! And if it were true, I would had to kill you for spoiler something so important! I don't read blogs or forums just because of the danger of reading something unofficial ahead... I don't want to know so long before what the next year block setting, or theme, or mechanism would be, so please, stop to do such a stupid thing!

However, back to the card! I love these dual lands, I wish they reprint them in core sets along with the "allied" dual lands.

5/5

Edit: Yeah, we're returning to Ravnica! All my compliments to Lyoncet, the one that said it almost 7 months before the ufficial announcing... Thank you for have ruined the waiting... F**k you!

Haha it's hilarious to read all this speculation now that it's been announced. I'm not saying anyone is stupid; it's just the nature of speculation that some people end up being wrong (although people could be a little less forceful).

Best part was the guy who said, "the rumors regarding the 'Return to Ravnica' have been debunked." He nailed the name of the block!

While some say the rumors regarding the "Return to Ravnica" have been debunked, it IS safe to assume we'll see a Return to Alara in the coming blocks (possibly a few away though). Think about it:

Bant (white)
Esper (blue)
Grixis (black)
Jund (red)
Naya (green)

Five shards whose alphabetical order represents the standard color progression perfectly while also utilizing almost exactly half the alphabet? Coincidence? I think not. We're going to see five enemy shards whose alphabetical order represents the standard enemy-trio-color progression, while having names started with O - Z.

White (black/red) - P?
Blue (red/green) - S?
Black (green/white) - U?
Red (white/blue) - W?
Green (blue/black) - Z?

EDIT: When you compare the wealth of three color options available for ally colors via the Shards block, I really don't see how you can reference the Apocalypse cards the same way. The cards you link are all mono-colored, despite their activated abilities which require mana costs from "enemy shards" as you say. Seems bogus to me but hey to each his own. Awesome news about Ravnica btw :D

For the record, "Enemy shards", such as or , are normally called 'Wedges'. That's because their position on the color wheel display a wedge shape when connected, as a opposed a shard shape.

That being said, we need more wedge support!

Hehe. Hey guys, doubting the Return to Ravnica. It was literally the set name.
