I'm almost certain I've seen the guy with the curly-horned helm somewhere before, and a couple of others are familiar too. I just can't place them...

EDIT: Heh, they're gridded for a reason! A3 is the guy I'm talking about. I feel like I've seen A4 and B9 before too.

Some of them are already in the game.

I guess it is.

D6 has interested me since I first got the game. I wonder what her deal is.

I find C2 more interesting, somehow.

I like...B2, C2, A5, D5, B6, and B8.

I guess it is.

B6 is gorgeous in a haunting kind of way.

Bingo?

Sorry, couldn't resist. You may now return to your regularly-scheduled art ogling.

I'm disappointed at the lack of Chandra quotes on the Gatherer comments for Spontaneous Combustion.

Man, I had no idea that was a card.

The lack of flavour-text for Niv is a travesty!

More of a travesty is the fact that they for some reason decided to reprint the original Niv opposite Jarad when there is almost certainly a new Niv.

I guess it is.

I was gonna say "hey, you don't know for sure there'll be a new Niv-Mizzet, why would there be?", but then I remembered that Curiosity is still in Standard and now I'm really hoping they print one that's not a two-card instakill.

They have never reprinted legendary creatures in expansions other than Time Spiral, and Niv is confirmed to still be the guild leader.

I guess it is.

I'm pretty sure they outright said that all the guild leader cards are new, including the ones representing characters who already have cards (which is a full half of them).

Also, in current standard you wouldn't even need Curiosity to go infinite with the old Niv - you could just pair him with Tandem Lookout.

I'm interested to see what the new Rakdos card will be, since he's probably the guild leader with the worst original card. The first Rakdos is actually pretty cool but he's really card to use outside of nasty Kaalia combos.

They probably put creature-Niv in the Duel Deck and we get Planeswalker-Niv in the actual RTR, simple as that.

Keep in mind that possessing a planeswalkers' spark is a one in a billion chance.

Granted, Niv-Mizzet could probably find another way to obtain one, but the point still stands.

Niv is not a Planeswalker - all the guild leaders in Return are legendary creatures. I'm pretty sure Maro said so.

Yeah, Jarad is definitely getting EDH-ified.

Second guess then:

I'm too lazy to look it up, but I think the Golgari show up in RTR while the Izzet will have to wait until Gatecrash to show up again, so maybe Wizards figured that it's okay to spoil a card from the very next set, but spoiling one of the most anticipated Guildleaders from the set after the next one would have been too much and not worth it.

No, the Izzet are in RTR, along with the Golgari, Azorius, Rakdos and Selesnya.

DAMMIT

Okay, how about this: We will get Old-Niv in RTR, but during the course of the Block-Storyline, something will happen to him and we will get another version of him in the final set of the block, similar to Mike and Zombie Mike in Innistrad/DKA.

No, it's absolutely a brand-new legendary creature Niv in RTR. As Blackmoon said, they pretty much can't make the original Niv standard-legal now because of Curiosity.
