why are there only 6 pathways, not 10?

I get that there are only 6 in paper, but still why?

    4th question down on Rosewater's Zendikar Q&A

    Basically because of the way the color pairs split during the set having 5 pathways would have left either an imbalance or an important pair not represented.  So they decided to do 6 instead.

    Sorry, but I think all 10 pairs should have been represented, both in paper and in MtGPQ... :/

    As said above, the other 4 will appear in Kaldheim, including the green-blue one (black-green, white-blue, black-red, green-blue).
