    Apparently confirmed real. So their mechanic basically says: Make a copy of a token you control.

    I'm so weirded out by the fact it's a keyword ability, not just a keyword.

    POPULATE.

    I love this mechanic so much. So many ways to abuse it. Hopefully we get a 1-mana Populate card.

    One of my main annoyances with Scars block was there was no card that said "Proliferate", end card.

    Hopefully, our wish shall be granted with Populate instead.

    I read somewhere on a forum that this was a fake. Where was it confirmed to be real?

    And that was mad enough...lol

    Seriously...even at 1 mana one card that only populates will be a bad bad choice...

    So instead let's hope for some cheap playable card...maybe a (WG - Instant - Put a 1/1 token, then populate), at uncommon...I'll be satisfied with that...XD

    EDIT: Damn Ninjas...

    on card's realness? lol...It was deemed fake, then somehow it was real again...we don't know but all points it to be real...

    This seems like a pretty... dull mechanic tbh. Guess you can always clone an Angel token, otherwise it's just a worse version of any other card in a token deck.


    Assumably the rest of them will be better though, hopefully.

    Definitely not, in fact, it's the best time. Ravnica is considered one of the best blocks of all time and I can't see a reason for it not living up to its reputation this time.

    There are gonna be ten new mechanics so it's as new for everyone as it is for you Razz

    Besides, Return to Ravnica is obviously, well, the return to 'Ravnica' (i.e. largely acclaimed as the best block in Magic history).
