FTV Realms Spoiler List

~
Happy Monday MTG peeps,

We are safely returned from our camping trip into the wilds of northern Ontario.  Although the trip did not include any bear or wolf intrusions to our camp, we were harassed by a Squirrel Mob and there were some food supply casualties.  We were reminded of the flavour text 'An army of squirrels is still an army' - too true.

Anywhoos - we are back in the seat and will be catching up with our regular daily posts to MTG Realm.  Here's the first catch-up post - From the Vault: Realms which now has been fully previewed for all Magic the Gathering players.  Gamers and collectors will love this collection of fifteen premium foil lands from the history of Magic. It has a very limited print run and features seven new art, cards that have never been in foil before and cards that have never been in the modern card frame.  Look to pre-order FTV Realms and the new Duel Deck: Izzet vs. Golgari from MTG Mint Card.  FTV Realms hits the shelves of your local gaming store on August 31, 2012 and has a MSRP of $35 - but good luck finding this anywhere near that price as we think collectors will snap this up (we personally evaluate the contents nearer to $100 to $120).

Evan Erwin (aka Mr Orange Guy oover at Star City Games provided the exclusive preview for this with an Unboxing of the From the Vault: Realms ahead of the official preview on the mothersite.  Here's the list:

Ancient Tomb
Boseiju, Who Shelters All
Cephalid Coliseum (new art)
Desert
Dryad Arbor (new art)
Forbidden Orchard (new art)

Glacial Chasm (new art)
Grove of the Burn Willows (new art)

Commander / EDH, Modern, Legacy and Vintage players are all likely to go ga-ga over this and we suspect that this is another hit product for Wizards of the Coast. The preview art suggests either Glacial Chasm or Thawing Glaciers may be in the set.

We are personally hoping for Maze of Ith, Karakas, Dark Depths and / or Forbidden Orchard. Drop us a line or a comment below - what cards would make you happy were you to pull it from the box ?

Also of note - Great news from MTG Mint Card - They have restocked singles on one of our favourite recent sets - CONFLUX ! This is the set which brought you such notable cards as Noble Hierarch, Knight of the Reliquary, Progenitus among others. Click on over before they sell out.
