Alara Reborn
         Wizards posted a thing on Alara Reborn in (I think) the Arcana. In it they revealed a card from the set with name and casting cost but no rules text. The interesting thing is that the card was u/w multi-color (gold) and the card was marked 1/X for the set making it alphabetically the first card. This is usually done by color starting with white I believe. Long story short (too late) this set is quite possibly entirely MULTI-COLOR!!!

         Thats nuts! There could still be artifacts and lands, but I saw the same thing!

         That would be interesting, they wouldn't be changing their numbering system with just this set? I don't know how drafting that set would work?

         They may just be revealing the multi-color cards first. Gold cards have been popular with players since their debut in Legends, so using them for previews probably makes good business sense.
         Even if the set is entirely multi-colored it could include all the card types. Conflux has colored nad multi-colored artifiacts, so I suppose an all gold set wouldn't preclude the possibility of enchantments or artifiacts. There are even colored lands in previous blocks, such as Dryad Arbor, so multi-colored lands might also be posible.

         do not forget that (colorless)artifacts and lands have always been numbered last in sets, even after multi-color and hybrid csrds. Anyone think this set may have hybrids?

         Of course I realize that there will be (most likely) artifacts and lands; however, the absence of any mono-colored cards is pretty staggering!

         Yes it is. It probably means that there are going to be insanely powerful cards in the set.


Pwn'd.
