Happy Wednesday MTG peeps,

The Magic 2013 Spoiler List now sits over 50% revealed.  With the prerelease events going down on 7 July and the street release / launch the next weekend (13 July), things are progressing rather well with a healthy blend of official previews and unofficial leaks.  A handful of card leaks are sweet and gets the gaming / MTG fan community really pumped while too much of a good thing sort of ruins it.  Anywhoos, with today's daily post on MTG Realm, we have a look at two card cycles to appear in the M13 core set.  Let's go . . .

First up - this is a cycle of five pieces of uncommon Equipment that, as explained in the article on the mothersite today will be in both Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 and Magic 2013.  We have a fondness for equipment cards as well as rings (likely brought on by partiality by all things Tolkien).
