There are some rumors! recently that there will be more (dramatic) rule changes coming end of this year.

Some guys saying that the "one-land-per-turn"-rule will fall. Indications therefor are the new mechanic "landfall", insider-information and Zendikar itself.

You've heard anything?


Lavaball Trap

Instant - Trap   
If an opponent had two or more lands enter the battlefield under his or her control this turn, you may pay  rather than pay Lavaball Trap’s mana cost.
Destroy two target lands. Lavaball Trap deals 4 damage to each creature.


Scythe Tiger

Creature - Cat   
Shroud
When Scythe Tiger enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you sacrifice a land.

As soon as there are some certified information I will inform you.

hun? one land per turn will fall?  ???

Well, i didnt hear any of that.

But i have (not I, I, other forums...) a few juicy information:

- there will be enemy fetchlands. WR pic is already available
- cancel will be reprinted (again). Seriously!!!  >:(
- Trap cards like vazdu already said
- land matter blocks.
- there will be enchantments with quests (make some objective / get some reward)
- vampires will be plentiful

Btw, that cat costs just G... Also there are already +30 cards spoiled, including all PW.

As for the rules changes, i have no idea, perhaps bring back mana burn?! :D

I'm sure there will be no rules change!
The one who wrote it did such things before allready.

Coincidence? Also, Rampant Growth.

I won't even comment how silly is even to think about removing one-land-per-turn rule. Try playing Vintage Gro before last restrictions, cheat Fastbond in your opening hand and play some simple games to get the idea.

I think you're right!

Like Nastaboi is saying it is a quite silly idea. The price of Moxes would drop dramatically  ;) Maybe that guy want to buy some cheap ones  :D The only thing that irritates me is that kind of "news" is posted on a serious magic-webpage (magicuniverse.de) by a serious news-man (evilbernd -> germagic.de).

On the other hand, enemy-colour fetchlands IS some news. Painlands will no longer make cut in mana bases.

Yeap, with so many lands producing both ally and enemy colors, painlands seem weaker, and weaker now. We already have the names for the rest of the fetchlands. And i'm hoping for beatiful art. These will be quite chase rares in the set.

Perhaps the 1 land per turn was in a humoristic/sarcastic style, no?

YEAH.. when i read the ratio of these "treasures" i thought i would be better off by playing the LOTTO or whatever. It's just weird to have a room full of ppl 2 days straight and only a single person getting a hold on one of these (very expensive cards)... But, what the heck, free cards, are free cards :)

IMO, it would be way cooler if the winners of the pre and releases (or somthing) were rewarded with these, but then it wouldn't be such a good marketing "scheme"

Anyway, any thoughts about the set? I´ll try to write, my usual review (HL regarding) this next sunday.

Edited: Here in PT somes dual lands (not in mint condition) and a gaes cradle have been reported.
I'm just imagining a kid opening a booster finding a "very played" ancestral recall and throwing it a way because it's weird (frame, text.. etc) and used... LOL
