Well folks it's official! For the next Magic the Gathering set we will returning to the plane of Ravinca in:

The set will be released in October 2012 and contain 272 cards. It's headed by Erik Lauer and Ken Nagler. Lauer was the lead developer on the vastly successful set Innistrad and Nagler was the lead designer on the Commander decks, as well as the lead designer on the Avacyn Restored set. It only makes sense that the return to the fan popular plane be headed by two heavy hitters. Wizards also released the set symbol: 

And this picture showing guild leader Niv-Mezzet standing with a blue eyed Jace:

So with very little information besides the aforementioned specs, I figured I'd at the rumor mill by making some predictions.

Prediction Number 1) I'm guess, with the trend of WOTC pushing new planeswalkers, that there                    will be a plainswalker for each guild. 

Prediction Number 2) We'll be seeing a return of the favored Shocklands

Prediction Number 3) They will be reprinting both Niv and Jace(Hopefully we won't have another Mind Sculptor)

Prediction Number 4) This will be a flavored based block. After the success of flavor based block Innistrad, and given the rich flavor of the original set/books, it'll be a logical step. 

Prediction Number 5) Jerkface Mill players( Who we still love here at FF), will get more cards to piss us off(make us happy). Hooray for another Unthinkable or Lobotomist
