20 Tweets: Wizileaks
What may or may not be the first spoiler for Return to Ravnica has surfaced online. That loud, vortex-like sound you heard was 25% of the world’s Internet bandwidth being consumed in a flash by our patently enthusiastic speculation and debate about the authenticity and awesomeness of Rootborn Defenses and the Populate mechanic. We here at Team Selesnya just couldn’t wait until the next regular installment of 20 Tweets to bring you the discussion of our first glimpse at Magic future. Maybe. Probably. What do you think?
FACT OR FAKE ? Possible early #mtgrtr Return to Ravnica Spoiler Rootborn Defenses - some discussion here bit.ly/OimYgJ

Reposting the original Rootborn Defenses image for those who missed it: #mtgrtr #mtg Note the watermark. twitter.com/uselessend/sta…

@a_magrini @revisedangel def looks real. The art is def Mark Zug, pic seems legit, and the Populate mechanic works very well in flavor/use.

Looks like we have our first Return to Ravnica #mtg spoiled card -- via an M13 pack! Strange indeed, but seems legit. magicspoiler.com/mtg-news/rootb…

Is Rootborn Defenses legit? If so, Selesnya can suck it because Populate is shit-tier. And before anyone explodes on me, here:

@cavemankellen The formating seems off. Why isn't the populate reminder text after populate?
— Luis Acosta (@AuranAlchemist) July 31, 2012
@smi77y MTGSalvation reckons it's fake and gives several reasons (copyright text, impossibility of story, questions on formatting)
— Kim Warren (@Fellwolf) July 31, 2012
@wrongwaygoback I'm surprised the site that closed the thread on the card twice put it in their spoiler, but it is def a real card.
— Greg (@uselessend) August 1, 2012
@tropicalsteve @uselessend If this card is legit WotC's formatting has gone off a cliff.
— Joshua J. (@JoshJMTG) July 31, 2012
@uselessend @tropicalsteve 1. I'd expect Populate to be on a new line with the reminder separated, much like Proliferate.

Guys! Check out this card from Return to Ravnica that I found! It looks AMAZING! twitter.com/GriffnValentin…

From the @gatheringmagic forums, a new image of Rootborn Defenses! twitter.com/uselessend/sta…

@bleighton1982 @thehilariousmax @revisedangel @misterorange I'd be happy if it's real since populate is a pretty cool ability.

@dr_jeebus @revisedangel @bleighton1982 @thehilariousmax @misterorange why is the templating on the ability so bad?
— Jay Boosh (@JayBoosh) August 1, 2012
@jayboosh This templating is better, too. It could be easy to miss the second ability if it was sandwiched between reminder text.

I would have to play GW at RTR if the new keyword is Populate... I share my love with this token & Populateyoutube.com/watch?v=F7_4Lt…

@kerrydan @lansdellicious @smi77y I love that you can use CC to make a token of anything, which you can copy with Populate. #lansdellingit
— Kevin Baldwin (@TaureanMauler) August 1, 2012
@lansdellicious @taureanmauler @smi77y I mean I can believe its legitimacy. Populate is a fractional Parallel Lives, tacked onto a card.
— Kyle (@Kerrydan) August 1, 2012
@uselessend Indeed it is, especially after WotC asked the guy for the booster serial number. Doubt they would if they thought it was fake.
— Blake Leighton (@BLeighton1982) August 1, 2012
So, pretty sure this accidental #MTGRTR spoiler is real at this point. Populate is a cool Selesnya mechanic :) bit.ly/MZiqvB
