M13 Dual Lands

~
Happy Monday MTG peeps,

The big news today is the post on the mothersite where we had finally found out what cycle of non-basic lands are to be in the set.  Perhaps not too much of a surprise for some but the 'M10 Duals' have the reprint yet again, making this the fourth core set that has seen these.   Altough some are welcoming of this reprint (as we are here over at MTG Realm), some other players wanted something else to game with. 

These lands are more commoning referred to as 'M10 Duals' or 'M10 Taplands'.  Essential, these lands come into play untapped if the player controls a land with one of the corresponding basic land types. The subsequent reprints are found in Magic 2011, Magic 2012 and most recently Magic 2013.

• Glacial Fortress (u/w)
• Drowned Catacomb (u/b)
• Dragonskull Summit (b/r)
• Rootbound Crag (r/g)
• Sunpetal Grove (g/w)
 
We are greatly anticipating the fall expansion set, 'Return to Ravnica' and are already speculating (or rather hoping) we see the shock lands reprinted.

Hallowed Fountain (w/u), Watery Grave (u/b), Blood Crypt (b/r), Stomping Ground (r/g) , Temple Garden (g/w)
 
Godless Shrine (w/b), Steam Vents (u/r), Overgrown Tomb (b/g), Sacred Foundry (r/w), Breeding Pool (g/u)

Speaking of speculation, the name and number crunch as it stands at the moment allows for the possibility of some rather nice cards we hope will get a reprint - namely, Noble Hierarch and Serra Avenger . . .

Serra Avenger, ww
Creature - Angel, Rare
You can't cast Serra Avenger during your first, second, or third turns of the game.
Flying, vigilance
3/3

Noble Hierarch English, g
Creature - Human Druid, Rare
Exalted (Whenever a creature you control attacks alone, that creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.)
{T}: Add {G}, {W}, or {U} to your mana pool.
 0/1

Lastly, check out our friends at MTG Mint Card who now has a very cool early-bird discount on Magic 2013 pre-orders.  This will not last much longer.
