Do you guys think they are gonna reprint Birds of Paradise in the ravnica block?

Or they might print something better, but the likelihood of the most reprinted card EVER, next to lands of course, being reprinted again in the near future is relatively high...

I think they already have enough mana fixing in standard to be honest, plus god only knows what kind of ramp we are gonna get in Gatecrash. I doubt it'd get reprinted in either Gatecrash or Dragon's Maze.
Maybe a different card with a similar function if at all, but not another Birds of Paradise

For symmetry's sake it seems a little unlikely for Gatecrash, but I could potentially see it in Maze. Though like UmbrotheUmbreon I sort of feel like there's a lot of ramp/fixing in Standard at the moment, so it feels a touch unlikely. On the other hand, they're really punching the nostalgia clock hard with this block, so they might bring him in for that. I guess I won't be too surprised either way.

I tihnk at most it'd be something similar like
3G
Creature - Bird
Flying
Flying creatures you control gain "T: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool"
3/3

God, I hope they do, I traded for like 5 of them when I was a new to Mtg, and didn't really understand legal cards, and never thought I'd play anything other then casual. But yeah there's really no need for it to be there, standards mana supply is pretty good as is.

A creature version of Joiner Adept ? I dunno... you get some force out of turning everyone into instant mana-dorks... but lose blockers in the process...

With regard to the Joiner Adept 's effect coming back for Standard, there's already Chromatic Lantern . That kind of redundancy seems silly, even for WotC.

I meant a Joiner Adept that works like Joraga Treespeaker . turns your creatures into mana dorks as opposed to the effect it has on lands...

That's what an hour of sleep does to your reading comprehension. My apologies.

It would make sense for them to. Birds of Paradise is at home in Ravnica. It was in the original RAV, and the art still used on the card is of Birds of Paradise flying in Ravnica.
Also, it was conspicuously absent from M13. I think that makes it a likely reprint candidate.
