That's fucked. Kinda cool though.

No.
No it's not.
If Live has more than 5 multicolored cards, I'm going to shit on Rosewater's desk :V
I remember when a single multicoloured card was special.

Exactly.
Hell, even Invasion wasn't that heavily multicolored.
Noble Panther used to be cool :(
That would probably be a common now a days, actually. I'm too lazy to actually check up on it, but
this could cause serious limited problems.
Noble Panther used to be cool :(I don't think Noble Panther was ever cool...
I didn't play invasion limited, but why the fuck couldn't it be a common?
It's a first-striking Trained Armodon...

I started playing around Masques/Invasion, so my card-value was way off. Still love those old cards though.
And Armadillo Cloak is still one of my favorite cards :V

Of course, I don't play Magic because I'm not a socially maladjusted manchild. So it doesn't really affect me.
Oh, and regarding the actual news:
Terrible idea, continuing the trend of terrible ideas called "Alara Block". Also, the best way to make limited even worse. Didn't think that was possible.
EDIT: Actually, I guess worse-than-ALA/ALA/CON limited was possible. Homelands/Future Sight/Conflux.

I'd actually like to draft triple Future Sight.

I need Tarmogoyfs.

Good fucking luck with that.
Complete multicolor set is stupid. You have all the people who still get boners over Ravnica to thank for this (which, while a good set, is overrated, IMO).

Note the card number.

Note the collector's number. Multicolor cards always come after monocolored cards in numbering. Since 1 is a multicolor card, that means there are no monocolors.
Lands and artifacts are still fair game.

kcrazy!
Imagine the retardedly broken lands they'll need to make that work.
I mean, fuck, Shards had lands that were unquestionably better than the taplands.

Because the taplands were so damn overpowered, rite? :V

That's not the point, the point is that they're going to need to put out lands so good that they'll make previous lands worthless in order to make this retarded set work.

Spoiler alert: the lands will be multicolored and cost mana to put into play even though they aren't spells muah ha ha ha. o_O

not really.
During the conflux release, I had no problem getting all 5 colors on the field by turn 5.
From a sealed pool.
There's a cunt-load of fixing already, so as long as they put a few more landcyclers and shit like Rupture Spire it won't really hurt limited all that bad.

I hate lands that come into play tapped but fix colors. It's like, thanks, I could've just played an off color land and cast top and hoped to draw the land I want next turn. Bleh.

just play red cards and turn them sideways.
nigga what
No niggas. Monoblack doesn't exist in this set :V
nigga you gay
Fellow African American, surely you say that in jest! :V
Oh look, a thread from Magic General on the source.:V How did this get here?

This. Five colours was a synch for me. I pulled second in sealed, only losing to some aggro deck.

ahahahaha yeah. ok.
Limited wont die. When was the last time we had an unplayable limited environment? Alara limited is fun. Shadowmoor limited offered amazing risk/reward scenarios. Lorwyn limited was a bit straight-forward, but still challenging. And so on. They spend way too much time on limited to ruin it.
I doubt it'll be entirely multi-colored, but the colorless stuff probably wont be too numerous.
Oh, and 95% certain we're seeing more split cards.

Eyewwww, yeah. :P

Eyewwww, yeah. :P
i was gonna say, "that looks pretty decent"
but then i read that you have to pay 1 /and/ it comes into play tapped.
so it costs 2 to play your land. :/
It's WotC thinking "hey, we can make some really bad common color-fixing in this set and people will play it anyway because they need to drop their 5-color win the game bombs!"

i would have to have a really awful manabase to draft that. it costs your entire fucking turn to play it.

It's not that much different from the bouncelands in Ravnica, and those saw competitive play.
Or maybe it is, since the bouncelands let you have 4 mana on turn 3.
Nevermind.
Rupture Spire is still good in limited.
Not Taplands good, but better than the Panoramas IMO

The trilands are obviously very good, no question there. A lot of the time I would rather have a panorama, though, than Rupture Spire. They both lose you a turn, but the Panorama makes up for it in the long term, by smoothing out your draws late game.
Bouncelands were great. Unless you really needed a certain color, you just held onto it till midgame and then you get 2 land drops in a single card. Plus color fixing.

And the Spire has the benefit of being whatever mana you want for the rest of the game.
And it only smooths the draw by a very small amount. Certainly good in topdeck mode, but Spire has more effect early-mid game, when most Limited games are actually won.

wtf are you rambling about?
bounce lands do not give you mana accel.
they give you colour fixing and +1 lands in your hand. (clearly awesome)
also, those triland things are obviously way more awesome than the spire.
spire always costs you 2 mana and your land drop.
trilands only cost that if you need the fixing. otherwise it just costs the land drop.
if it's in your colours, it's pretty much always better.
or is this format actually that shitty for colours that tutoring for a basic won't help you?

An entire multicolor set seems kinda cool but it also seems like wizards is grasping for gimmicks.
Though I don't see why it would affect limited that much as long as it's not first set. You always get more of first right?

Nevermind.Karoo never let you have 4 mana on turn 3. Rupture Spire is a *great* limited land, but that really is it.
The best thing about karoo lands was it was card advantage; hence why the decks that could effort to play a full set did so during Ravnica T2.
Yeah, I realised that after I posted that. Oops.
Karoo never let you have 4 mana on turn 3. Rupture Spire is a *great* limited land, but that really is it.It's great only because Alara limited is so stupid. It would range from jank to "somewhat playable" in other blocks.
Maybe they just decided to switch to numbering the cards alphabetically.

It seems too deliberate for that to be the case. Why would they change the numbering system anyway? It's been the same since it was first introduced and there are only a handful of people who actually care about collector's numbers. Why would they restructure the system in the last set of a block and then spoil this card as a way to show this change and just f-up everyone's expectations.
Spoiling a card with no text and divulging the main theme of the set is a brilliant idea. Spoiling a card so that everyone thinks it's the theme and then slamming everyone's hopes by having it "spoil" a new insignificant numbering system is moronic. Even by Wizard's standards :V
I don't want an all multicolored set, though. =[

Like really, what else could it be? They made a big deal on the Arcana page that if you look close enough you will find something breathtaking. Out of the entire card, nothing else is as revolutionary as that.
