Return to Ravnica Previews

I'm thrilled to say that the spoiler season for Return to Ravnica is in full swing.  There are already a few very nice cards that have seen the light of day.  My personal favorite that's shown up so far are the "shock" lands from the original Ravnica block.  I love the way these lands work.  The only downside to seeing them reprinted is that they will lower the value of my originals slightly...  On the other hand, I can't wait to play them in Standard.

Anyway, moving on to less fanboy-ish things...  The Warhammer community is all lit up with rumors about new codexes and the latest 40K release from Games Workshop is helping to fan the flames.  The new starter set for 6th edition is a combination of Chaos Marines and Dark Angels.  There really aren't any completely new things to be looked at on the Dark Angels side, but the addition of cultists and of a new dreadnaught type model for Chaos is causing a stir.  It makes sense to assume that these are going to be the first two codexes released for 6th edition.

In other news, the MidwestWarfare gaming group is set to host it's next tournament on the 15th and 16th this month at Legends in Vincennes.  I'm hoping we have a good turn out, but it seems unlikely given the launch of a new rules set.  But one can hope anyway.  I'm still tinkering with my army lists and trying to nail down exactly what I want to play.  I'm not sure if I'll even actually be playing in this event.  I guess we'll just have to see.
