Not to be the skeptic but couldn't anyone just set up a facebook page with that name and use the pic for ranger. We have no way of proving that this is true.

Take your monoblack deck, then set aside 14 swamps. Add 4 Creeping Tar Pits, 4 Darkslick Shores, 4 Drowned Catacombs, and 2 Jwar isle Refuge and add 4 Jace, the Mindsculptors. Your monoblack deck is instantly better. Better yet, drop those refuges, throw in some islands and some mana leaks, and lo and behold, you're now playing a real deck. Congratulations. Welcome to the world of competitive M:TG.
has there ever been an invitational card reprinted in a coreset?
I don't think this is a good question, because Wizards doesn't appear to treat invitational cards any differently from any other cards. They've been reprinted with the same art in TSB; they've been reprinted with new art for promos or just as ordinary reprints. The only time they've treated an invitational card differently than an ordinary card was in using the promo art for Voidmage Prodigy rather than the original art when it was reprinted in TSB, because the original art was ugly and Budde asked them to. While it's true that no invitational card has yet to appear in a core set, there's nothing to suggest that "invitational cards" is a natural class to draw inferences about in the first place.
I guess a pro posting a facebook status could feasibly constitute a rumor, but I fail to see any backbone to it. I see this as a candidate for baseless speculation masked by the illusion that it is a rumor because someone else brought it up.
From the Pat Chapin deal where he sneezed something about Lightening Bolt and thus people labeled him as the confirmation.....I can't believe peple are making the same assumption again for a card which is far less likely to appear in M11.
Anyone who sees this as confirmation in any shape or form is a fool.

Waiting patiently for MTGO Leagues to become a priority again. It's been 4 years :sick:.
Drop by my Helpdesk if you have any questions/concerns on the Limited forum.
Excited for M13 Limited? What do you think the format will look like? Head over to the limited forum and let us know what you think.
Not making any accusations here, but how can we confirm that image is even Antoine himself? I can easily change the picture and name on my facebook quickly, make a quick cropped screenshot and call it that. The account on Facebook is probably legitimate, but I cannot say the same for that snapshot.
Why didn't the author of this thread give us a bigger image to work with so we can confirm the image does come from that particular account?

They are both clearly the art for ranger of eos, and by following the link to the page, you can see the other profile pictures, which are all clearly antoine.

I think what he's saying is that the screenshot itself could be doctored, he's not questioning whether or not an Antoine FB page exists. Because the account is (understandably) private, we can't check his status history to confirm whether this is true. It would be pretty simple to doctor up the image to make it appear to be from a FB update.
I am not a friend with Antoine Ruel myself, but a friend of mine is and I asked him to take a print screen of this (he was the one who tipped me about this). I have now un-cropped the picture so you can see it's not fake.
He might be joking though, maybe he has heard about the two locked threads here on salvation about his return?
Not convinced, myself, either, but I would love to see it and there's no reason for it not to make it in. Remember that Maro said they wanted to put Solemn Simulacrum in Tenth Edition but they had to cut a couple rare artifacts, so I see no reason to doubt an invitational card in a core.

I can only hope this isn't true. Naya's a pretty horrible deck nowadays, and it sucks to think you have a bye and then suddenly get Ranger'ed out of nowhere. I'm utterly sick of this card.
Is it just me or does it look like the names on the facebook shot are purposely blanked out?. The people who commented and liked the post appear to have they're names blurred so badly they can't be read, yet they're comments are still readable.
This strikes me as odd, but it could be nothing.
As for the actual rumor, i'll say a 50/50 chance either way.

I hope this is for real.
LOL
Coresets never had legends until 10th edition, then never had brand new cards till m10, so m11 could just do whatever it wants
It's probably not a good idea to put a link to a magic pro's FB on a MTG forum.... Just saying.
LOL

Considering if you type in 'Antoine Ruel' on facebook that you get the same result...
The other thing about this is that the status update was from FIVE DAYS AGO.
And he doesn't have a public profile so we can't exactly go digging through his statuses to find it.
Considering how hard people are trying to convince us this card isn't going anywhere, I don't buy it.
