Looks like Wizards is continuing the trend of cost-cutting.

Kyoto, Honolulu and Rome are all cool famous cities, but Austin...? Maybe for Americans, but I really think it doesn't mean that much to everyone else.

It sure looks like exciting times ahead with CCEgames providing us with excitement for September, while Shards of Alara will start off October with a bang before everyone starts cracking packs for a chance to go to Kyoto!
