Magic should just be all about artifacts and lands.

they will have to be different than the originals, as they were completely broken with the other artifact cards in mirrodin (and just affinity in general).

They could reprint artifact lands as uncommons for limited play purpose.

Without "affinity for artifacts", artifact lands aren't broken. But when your 'island' taps for 2-3 mana each turn, and your creatures are also cost reducers, degenerate things happen. There ARE other versions of affinity (affinity for islands), but nobody remembers that because it was terrible.

Mistakes were made in every artifact block. They were different each time, but expect 1-2 mistakes this time around as well. We'll see what happens.

wondering if those eldrazzi annihilator creatures will get bumped in price after this? If the lands are generating insane mana again those 10 CC guys can pretty much break the game.

Why is everyone convinced Affinity = Mirrodin??
Odyssey and Onslaught blocks took place in the same story setting and had entirely different mechanics. Hell, there's no guarantee Scars of Mirrodin even deals with artifacts at all.

Ya, then they would have to call it Rust of Mirrodin, or some such name.

while I don't think the set is going to be as artifact heavy as the original Mirrodin, of course its still going to be an artifact set, the new set in the block is called new phyrexia. I think its pretty obvious mirrodin+phyrexian=artifacts................................
That said, I believe this is where we will see the "coloured artifacts" in esper shards become fully fledged into every colour.

Mirrodin is a world of artifacts with almost everything in the storyline being composed of artifacts so the set should be heavy on artifacts.

Not nessecarily. While I think it's going to have artifacts, I will go on record right now saying that it will NOT cover the same kind of design space as Mirrodin did. Perhaps we'll see colored artifacts. Perhaps we'll see affinity for other things (creatures, spells, things your opponent does, specific types of land). But the point is, Scars of Mirrodin will not be Mirrodin 2.0. I severely doubt we'll even see artifact lands return. See, Mirrodin was designed to be The Artifact Set. Just that. All about artifacts. The best way I can compare it is to relate Scars of Mirrodin to Mirrodin as Shards of Alara or Ravnica was to Invasion. Both have (slash will likely have) the same basic theme ("multicolor", "artifacts"), but the two will have such different approaches that they are remarkably different.
So to everybody ballyhooing about Affinity and whatnot, think before you speak.

SOM won't be exactly the same as Mirrodin, but since they both take place on the same plane (as opposed to seperate planes like Shards, Ravnica and Invasion) it's safe to assume that SOM will be an artifact heavy set and block. We'll probably see a lot more colored artifacts this time around, but there's going to be a lot of artifacts.

Then you were drafting with the wrong people, or you just didn't get the block. I had a blast drafting Mirrodin block, and I tend to hate drafting.

Fixed.

Hell...at least Shaman is a Grey Ogre in other formats. Shatter is USELESS outside of mirrodin.

Considering the power creep of a number of creatures and cards in the recent sets. I could see some truely awesome artifacts. Not that Mirrodin block didn't have great cards.
