- Here is Mark Rosewater on why we're getting two returns in a row.

I actually, legit, think it's Jace's new card. I mean, after all it's Jace's smudge-ass-face right next to the countdown, can it be so unlikely? And I also think it'll be 60 bucks because it's Jace. Look at the fucking price tag: Jace, Vryn's Prodigy Flip. It says 80 fucking 8. That's not only the Hitler number, it's also stupid.

That is certainly a possibility.
They did state that if they could prove that rumour that one person was selling the list of EMA was true they would give the list to multiple large retailers, so that one store would not get additional financial gain.
In the same respect, just posting a complete spoiler list in this fashion could prevent the problem from occurring in the first place.

If it's actually the stupid Brainbottle, I'll slash a motherfucker with a machete.

With the madness mechanic returning, I'm hoping for a new Tibalt card. Discarding cards was sort of his thing, and this would help him not be useless. :D

No, that is not a Sliver. It's a "makeshift altar made of twisted stone," referred to in yesterday's UR article.
RIP my dreams.

Anyone else take note of the kindness of ravens in this picture?

I was assuming the 'liths' were made of wood... apparently, they are made of 'twisted stone' - Sauce!
A little more evidence of Nahiri's involvement?
March 3, 2016 3:39 p.m.
Possibly, although if everything turned out to be Slivers that'd be really rad.
Although I support the idea of Nahiri's involvement.
March 3, 2016 3:40 p.m.
The same link I posted about Nahiri's involvement also discounts Slivers.
But... I guess it doesn't say 'there are no slivers', just 'It isn't slivers'.

It isn't Eldrazi. It isn't Slivers.
It's Yawgmoth!! WHAT!? I know it. Phyrexians, are coming with their original leader.
Sorin Markov negative ability, Target player gains 10 poison counters. WHAT!? OP? Maybe......
:D

A phyrexian planeswalker with a Vraska the Unseen - ish ult would be pretty cool at some point.
March 3, 2016 4:28 p.m.
It's a PhyraziverWalker
A Colorless Planeswalker...
...that puts 1/1 sliver tokens out for a +2...
...exiles a permanent for -3...
...and gives X poison counters for -X.
It costs 
, but each is payable by paying 2 life instead of .

I like that Rayenous. Although a pissed off Phyrexian Avacyn would be cool lol.

That being said it's a nifty way to know when my STATS problem set is due. I mean, I've already submitted it but still, nice gesture on WotC's part
March 3, 2016 5:48 p.m.
Im starting to think the countdown is Jace related.
- The counter is next to his face
- The H1 element with the text "Unravel the Madness" has the class "beleren" in the page source code.

I already said it's Jace related. Finally someone who's sane.
March 3, 2016 6:29 p.m.
smackjack - Except the font that Wizards uses for all Magic products is called the "Beleren" font...
March 3, 2016 6:30 p.m.
Sorin finally got tired of Jace's mill antics and put him 6 ft. under.
March 3, 2016 6:32 p.m.
Its been several seconds since 0 and still no full spoiler :O

Yeah it's clearly collapsing. But there's nothing there. F'in c'nts.
March 3, 2016 7:05 p.m.
Overloaded, but my browser tab says "Innistrad Map", which is extremely intriguing!
March 3, 2016 7:06 p.m.
I retract my prior statement, the Innistrad Map appears to have 3 venues, the only one of which that is unlocked is the Lab. Exploring now.
March 3, 2016 7:07 p.m.
seems to be a god damn interactive thingy about story.. no new cards :(
March 3, 2016 7:07 p.m.
yeah if you clicked it though it took you to 503 service temporarily down. But it did say innistrad map in the address. it was just there again but same error.
March 3, 2016 7:08 p.m.
There's slots for future spoiled card snext to Brain in a Jar and a render of Lab Maniac.
"You step into the lab, and instantly the stench of rot and decay washes over you, seeping into every pore. The crackle and hum of electricity underscore piercing screams, and foul shadows stir in cages, watching you with too many eyes. You are drawn deeper into the lab, seeking to make sense of the horrors you see before you. The Stitcher's Lab has opened! Explore its mysteries and unlock its secrets as clues to source of the madness on Innistrad are revealed throughout the weekend."

JohnnyBaggins,
Please, just step away from the machete ...
:-)

It's just a stupid interactive map thingy. No new cards. No new story either. Just.. Nothing.
What a big disappointment..

I could enter.
There's a Lab, a Manor and a cathedral. The latter two read Coming Soon, you can enter the lab.
This is the only of the four spoilers I currently can see.
STITCHER'S LAB
You step into the lab, and instantly the stench of rot and decay washes over you, seeping into every pore. The crackle and hum of electricity underscore piercing screams, and foul shadows stir in cages, watching you with too many eyes. You are drawn deeper into the lab, seeking to make sense of the horrors you see before you. The Stitcher's Lab has opened! Explore its mysteries and unlock its secrets as clues to source of the madness on Innistrad are revealed throughout the weekend.
If all three locations on the map are shaped the same way, we'll have 12 spoilers over the weekend.
March 3, 2016 7:12 p.m. Edited.
Nothing new as of this moment but it says to check back throughout the weekend. There'll be more to come.
