This is... a little odd. I imagine the "Dragon" is good ol' Niv. As far as the maze... I have no idea.

Lorelorn · 11-11-2012, 11:04 PM

Ral Zarek is in

RealOG47 · 11-11-2012, 11:04 PM

Definitely looks like Ral's here. Not sure I like the name of the set, but at least we'll find out what Niv Mizzet has been up to.

daedalusaf · 11-11-2012, 11:04 PM

The first thing that comes to mind is a good ol' DnD romp. Can't wait for this!

Grand Superior · 11-11-2012, 11:04 PM

Well... would not have expected that name at all. Can't say I'm a fan of the name, but I am intrigued by what it could mean for the end of the block's story.

Nobody Likes Nicol Bolas · 11-11-2012, 11:05 PM

Niv-Mizzet's grand plan all along was to make a super fun amusement park for all the guilds!

Seriously, I have no idea how to interpret the set title. Doesn't sound post-apocalyptic or like a "resolution" or anything at all.

EDIT: The set symbol is the RTR symbol underneath the GTC symbol. Uhh... okay.

It certainly looks that way, but people speculated he'd be in RTR based off the Nivix Guildmage art, so don't start counting your chickens just yet.

MtGColorPie · 11-11-2012, 11:06 PM

Awful, awful name. Sounds much better as a Legendary Land, not a set name.

signofzeta · 11-11-2012, 11:06 PM

I heard this set is gong to be a-MAZE-ing. Hahaha lol.

It's going to be one of those sets that has neither Dragons, nor Mazes, and the title is just to lead us in the wrong direction.

Oh wait, Blue-Red leader IS a dragon. Well it's not going to be like Scourge's all Dragons all the time, or IZZET?

But seriously, Dragon's Maze. Like the Wii, the name will grow on you.

But I have to say, best logo ever, since Mirrodin Besieged.

SyntheticDreamer · 11-11-2012, 11:07 PM

Er, wow. I did not see this coming. And the Ral Zarek art (which I personally haven't seen because I've been paying less attention to Art Fight than I should) is incredible. I'm excited for this.

Master Moja · 11-11-2012, 11:07 PM

Man, when they said Niv was up to something, they really meant he was up to something. I bet his maze is really hard, kind of like that one where you move the mouse cursor over the line and that face jumps out and scares the life out of you.

Tackman · 11-11-2012, 11:07 PM

I guess that explains why they suddenly reduced the score to see the wallpaper in Art Fight...!

And I guess that confirms Ral Zarek even more!

Icarus599 · 11-11-2012, 11:10 PM

Interesting name. But we'll see what they do with it.

Mashayous · 11-11-2012, 11:10 PM

That is one ugly name. Definitely. But maybe it kinda does tie together the whole thing about Niv-Mizzet having some sort of grand scheme.
