Alara Reborn: This is the third and final set in the Shards of Alara block, set for release on April 30th. I can't wait to see what crazy goodies are in this one, since it's pretty much confirmed that it will be an all-gold set. For plenty of yummy spoilers, drop by MTG Realm!
Magic 2010: This is the next core set (11th edition) due out this summer. According to the MTG website, this set is expected to bring back some much needed classic Magic flavor. Classic cards like Black Knight are coming back, but they are also doing something new with this one. This will be the first core set to include brand new cards unique to the core set. I'm also anticipating those new "dual lands" everyone is talking about.
Zendikar: Not much is known about the October set beyond the release date (Oct. 2nd) and some early speculation. However, along with the official announcement, they gave us a slogan to begin fueling the rumor mills: Deadly Perils, Priceless Treasures. This has caused people to think everything from dinosaurs to pirates. Personally, the name and slogan invoke images of jungles, temples, and booby traps (MISTA JONES!). I guess we'll just have to wait till the fall.
Duel Decks: Divine vs. Demonic: It's about time Wizards released a set of "good vs. evil"-themed decks. This type of theme has been a staple of Magic flavor since the beginning, when Lord of the Pit first hit the table. Should be interesting to see what cards they include in this one.
From the Vault: Exiled: According to the official announcement, this set is going to include 15 of Magic's most powerful cards that were once banned, but are now playable again. 8 cards are gonna have new art, and the set will come with a unique spindown life counter. It looks like Balance is going to be part of this set.
Seems like the spoiler hounds have a lot of their plates! I too will try to keep up to date on any news from upcoming sets.
Happy Planeswalking!
