Return to Ravnica (next set incoming in Oct.)

I realize we hardly know too much about the set, but now's the time to start speculating, talking, etc.

I personally refer to the spoiler list from MTG Salvation, which has a whole two cards listed right now. ( http://mtgsalvation.com/return-to-ravnica-spoiler.html ) I'm already semi-excited for it since I loved the Ravnica block already, and going back just seems more awesome.

I am sad that I don't get Boros (red/white) until the exapansion Gatecrash, but Selesnya (white/green) will do only because I have a white/green human-based deck which is already ready for rotation. (All I need are the Neahearth Pilgrims to replace the Suture Priests. Which are easy as hell to get.)

Sure, when RTR hits, I lose all of Scars block (Scars of Mirrodin, Mirrodin Besieged, and New Phyrexia), but I think RTR will make up for it. Bonus points if it makes my human deck more counter-based silly than it is. ;)

I think there will be a lot of strong cards. I went over them the other night and I can see how they will work great with the recent lots.

Yeah, there's some really nice stuff last I looked a few days ago; the non-counterable boardwipe for blue white is going to be a pain - I already hate blue white decks as it was... detain also is going to be annoying. (Again, blue white.)

Seen some nice green and white though for my human deck, so pleased with the upcoming. And seeing some nice potential stuff otherwise, abusable in older formats, etc.
