Maybe Narset and the other khans might be enemy colored dragons and sarkhan does have a thing for dragons.
Looks like lots of questions and some confusion whether the past is post mending or premending.
Given that we know that the events in the greater muliverse are not changed by this story, I propose that something like this happens: The dragons become the leaders of the clans, but Sarkhan feels there is a greater dragon to serve/revere/ect. He goes to the Temur where he hears of such a dragon. He returns to the Mardu where he leads a force into battle where he ascends and goes in search of a great dragon to follow, where he runs into Bolas. Alara and Zendikar follows as they have and Sarkhan is lead by the fragment of Ugin to release the hedon cocoon.
Hmmm. It was a well written piece for sure, but something about the way it went doesn't sit right with me. I can't quite put my finger on it, but just thinking about it inspires a number of negative feelings. I feel like I don't even want to specualte about the plot anymore until Dragons comes out. The thought of it is just... unfun to me. The way that story ended just makes me feel like talking about what happens next isn't worth it. Ugh... Time travel stories suck.
Obviously, this is all just my opinion, but I think I'll be refraining from UR discussion until this mess has an actual ending. Maybe it will feel worth discussing to me at that point.
Automatically I have become more biased for UR's that contain actual Set related happenings. I will leave writing technicalities to those who are more well versed to it (the use of "ozone" instead of air glared at me for a bit. It felt out of place.)
And it's quite a consolation to get UR exclusive images.
- I actually liked the battle scene between Ugin and Bolas. Altho it felt a bit rushed, it didn't sound forced. That visuals of Ugin summoning dragons through the tempest and making them ambush Bolas was asploding in my mind (I guess I have a thing for such grandiose acts), it reminds me of Radiant's battle with Urza and co. back in Timestreams.
- I loathe it when Creative does these vague endings, it doesn't help that Doug Beyer answers his tumblr once in an Innistradi full moon.
- Just some speculation on my part, but I have this gut feeling that if Nahiri is about to comeback TheBrownLine could use this timing after Ugin recovers from the Hedron Cocoon. Then he could reveal that it was through Nahiri's death (through probably Bolas visiting Zendikar and battling her there) that he discovered this process of using the Hedron as a Healing Cocoon. Just throwing out my zany ideas to the wind.
It could be that Sarkhan needs his spark re awakened in the new Tarkir, or that the Sarkhan we know was simply moved to the new Tarkir. Right now we have no real way of knowing. My biggest question is, how does Ugin get released? Will he just wake up at some point and free himself, will Sarkhan have a role in it, or will Sorin's story line presence finally make more since?
Sarkhan returns to the present day, but things aren't yet as he intended. He finds that Ugin's unconsciousness has led him to lose control of the dragon storms, and they've become the same tyrants that the Khans were without Ugin to guide them. Thus, Sarkhan has to return to the Crucible (with the help of the de-throned Khans who no longer recognize him) once more and release Ugin, restoring order to Tarkir.
You know, I think that is an actual possibility. I think it's too early to tell either way, but having Sarkhan go to awaken Ugin in order to return the dragons to their more "predatory" nature is a very convenient way for wizards to leave open the possibility of either revisiting the Khans or the dragons in a future revisit, or even keep both at the same time.
If Tarkir 1.0 have been replaced with tarkir 1.1 also what will happen to Sorin Did he went though the nexus and waiting it out or did he planeswlaked once he realized he is doomed.

There's no question--the Mending was less than 1280 years ago (current estimates are at less than 200 years ago, though there's some inconsistency), so past!Tarkir is premending. Period. Full stop.
This UR clearly shows that it's quite stupid to try to avoid larger implication for this storyline. What happens here changes completely Tarkir's past, and since its past has changed, Sarkhan would have never become a PW, never be brought to the Eye of Ugin, so the Eldrazi should have never been awaken, etc. I really want to see how they manage to avoid such a terrible mess in DTK!
...it's (somewhat) consistent with how time travel has always been depicted. The timestream doesn't like having something from the future in the past; without something to anchor you, you're going to get dragged back to your proper present. Usually it's more violent than this (and usually simple flesh can't survive the temporal forces, which is why Urza crafted Karn entirely of silver--silver is resistant to timey-wimey), but I'm willing to spot them "Ugin's magic at the Nexus has some kind of stabilizing effect that anchored Sarkhan in the past and allowed him to withstand the temporal sheering force long enough to do things, but the activation of the hedron cocoon broke his anchor and the timestream was finally able to whisk him forward."
I expect we'll see this exact Sarkhan (minus the crazy since he doesn't have The Voice of Ugin rattling around in his skull now) pop back to NuPresent!Tarkir™* to find the whole world different, with him having been immune to the changes to history and being the only person to remember OldPresent!Tarkir. Ugin's going to spend 1280 years in a cocoon of hedrons, so there aren't that many implications for the greater multiverse (although instead of Sorin showing up and having a Bitter Revelation about Ugin being dead, he'll have a Less-Bitter Revelation and Ugin being in a medically induced coma; since Sarkhan himself hasn't been changed, his interactions with the multiverse outside of Tarkir are unchanged). Sarkhan shows up, Ugin wakes up, we meet alternate versions of the khans who serve the leaders of the five dragon broods, everyone has tea and cakes. Oh, and Yasova starts a legend about the All Khan Who Flew Like a Dragon, so when Sarkhan shows up everyone's like "Dude, you're the one spoken of in legend! You saved our world!" Hence the tea/cake party.
Interestingly, this makes it so that what Bolas said about Ugin is still true--he did still put him where he lies, just instead of a grave it's an iron lung.
*That sounds like a breakfast cereal. "NuPresent!Tarkir™! Now with two scoops of dragons!"
This is what I read too. I don't like it, but I think that's what happened.
I'm not so sure... "Sarkhan's presence became an impossibility" also applies to the modified present.
Also: —as all the events that had led to his world's history, and even had led to his own existence, had become nullified—
It sounds way more like "Sarkhan has ceased to exist" to me.
I've read that the KTK trailer has Sarkhan say that he "was never born". Dang straight he wasn't born in Tarkir 1.1. I'm pretty certain he'll survive in DTK, but in what state, I guess the KTK trailer is the closest to revealing that.
So now the question is, what happens to Sarkhan? Does he jump forward as some have spec'd or does his life alternate in this new timeline? Would an alternate future Sarkhan's spark even ignite under the different circumstances? I do agree that Sorin's appearance on Tarkir makes more sense if when he shows up at Ugin's canyon he just revives him from his medicoma. I'm curious to also see if our speculations on Narset are correct. One thing is for certain, I can't wait for the look on Bolas's face if/when a revived Ugin calls for a rematch. One problem I had with the story is just how easily Yasova tipped the balance between this battle between oldwalkers. Shouldn't her influence amounted to nothing more than a gnat tackling two brawling kids in a playground? Anyways excited for the changes, I kinda don't care anymore about the rest of Fate Reforged story's now, unless they deal with the plane's baby steps towards what the world will look like in DTK.

“The wind whispers, ‘come home,’ but I cannot.”
— Teferi
Not sure if anyone has posted this already, but I think I found an out for this all to work.
Tarkir 1.0
Original Ugin v. Bolas (and Yasova) result - Dragon apocalypse (thanks Yasova!) & Ugin dead.
Sarkhan grows up in no-Dragon Tarkir (1.0), which causes him to seek out Nicol Bolas. (Let's mark this point as Bon Voyage)
Tarkir 1.1
Alternate Ugin v. Bolas (and Yasova) result - Dragons survive (thanks Sarkhan!) & Ugin healing away in hedron cocoon (unbeknownst to Bolas)
Clans continue to fight vs Dragons.
Here's the out - what if, the clans eventually wipe out most/all of the dragons (just much later than original), thus preserving the motivation for Sarkhan 1.1 to seek out Bolas? (Save the dragons! Bon Voyage!)
Timeline then drops Sarkhan 1.0 into Tarkir after Sarkhan 1.1 leaves (thus avoiding the 2 Sarkhans in one place paradox), except now he knows where to go find Ugin, and Ugin isn't dead. Him and/or Sorin then can revive Ugin and they go try again to fix the Eldrazi problem.
TL;DR - Sarkhan was always destined to seek out Nicol Bolas. So however the story unfolds, that motivation (i.e. dragons dying) needs to be preserved. It doesn't really matter that much if that event (dragons dying) occurs l000 yrs in the past (with Yasova's assist), or in the recent past (clans eventually gain the upper hand), as long as it happens.

They don't die out. The dragons wipe out the clans and the remaining humans seem to join the dragon broods, meaning the dragons rule the world.
I mean, come on, we are way too late in the game with far too many details to think this is the path that is going to happen. Just look at the announcement for Dragons of Tarkir, to say nothing of the Ugin's Fate alternate cards.
No really.
What the Hellboy 2?
That just happened. But they've stated that the time travel will only directly affect Tarkir. So Sarkhan still has to be on Jund in the past (Or future, depending on how you look at it (Which is the past that we as Planeswalkers have visited (Wait, we were there for Sarkhan travelling to the past (Were we in the past?)?))).
My head hurts.
Ha. Didn't think my 1.0/1.1 terminology would catch on so quickly. For the record, I didn't use 2.0 because (a) nothing preceding Vol's intervention has changed, and that's as much a part of Tarkir as anything else, and (b) I'd rather use that level of upgrade/downgrade for dissimilarity on par with Lorwyn/Shadowmoor.
Part of the reason I favor the yanked-back-to-the-present for Vol is that his bodily structure isn't going to be purely Tarkiri by now; he breathed and ate on Alara and Zendikar, so he's got some native-to-Alara-and-Zendikar atoms in him. At least, they're not guaranteed to have been cycled away. But that's the kind of minutiae I realize the vast majority of writers, whatever their echelon, won't notice. But non-native matter doesn't strike me as something Tarkiri temporal causality can neutralize. It may be trying to undo the duplicate matter that is Sarkhan (his original body-mass came from Tarkir's own food supplies, after all), but what can it do with non-duplicate matter from other planes?
That said, a common precept in time travel stories is that many of the people from the present will still be there, just with different psyches at worst. Might be related to the idea of Fate trying to establish that certain things and people WILL exist/transpire. No matter what, for example, different conception times will mean for which gametes from the same parents merge, meaning a very different person will be born...(Yes, more non-obvious minutiae...) That Surrak exists, even if not as a khan (either the broodlords did away with the position of Khan outright, or someone else beat him to Dragonclaw status), in 1.1 establishes that this altered psyche precept is in.
I still don't think the tempests will be as constant as they were before Ugin was ravaged, though. If he's barely alive now, and his influence probably "filtered" by the hedrons at that, then they'll probably still appear, just much less frequently. The khanates have been on the defensive for a long time now, meaning that they've been in the position of far lesser power. The waning of the tempests, again, will probably make the dragons less of a threat, but not to the point that the khanates can extirpate them. But more importantly, the 1.0 Temur shamans saw a future of dragons LEADING non-draconians. At the time of FRF, the dragons are only interested in using non-draconians for food and stealing their treasures. That's not exactly rulership. This is why I think Yasova's way of turning the newly-manifested dragons against Ugin--inciting them to reject his command--bears so much attention. Whether he knows it or not, Ugin influences the dragons post-manifestation. With him in the hedron shelter, the dragon psyche would take a different turn than before. One where the broodlords decide to become proper khans, and deign to share glory with their subject khanates.
Still, as I've also said before, if Vol retains his memories, I expect it will be attributed to the influence of his spark. Possible cop-out, unless they use it as an opportunity to explore the nature of the spark.
It seems pretty clear to me that the Sarkhan we knew is now gone forever. The people arguing that he's just moving forward in time can't ignore the fact that his "existence is now impossible"
That could mean that Sarkhan is now really gone as in the events of the new history prevent his parents from meeting so he's never born, or it could mean a new version of Sarkhan with no memory at all of the alternate history, who may grow up with a very different personality, motivations, perhaps even a new color. (Also a new name, Bolas gave him the Sarkhan nickname. Maybe he's now just Vol)
Wizards will have to resolve the Zendikar problem somehow, but I'd think Bolas in the new timeline, if he can't use new Sarkhan to set the events in motion to release the Eldrazi, should be able to have found some other lackey to do his bidding in Zendikar. Its not like what Sarkhan did in Zendikar was unique and couldn't have been accomplished by some other random PW minion.
Except that in time travel stories, the ones who did the changing habitually have memory of what went on before; it's rare for the result to be that the old timeline is forever forgotten. Doesn't really help protagonist development.
Still, we can't escape the thorn of Surrak still existing, just not as a Dragonclaw. Time change obviously didn't extend to who mates with whom when, at least not in full totality. I honestly suspect that if we get a "new" 1.1 Vol, he will still have the spark, probably awakened by something else (near-death at Atarka's claws?), and it somehow giving him an understanding of what 1.0 did. What I wouldn't give for us to finally get a comprehensive analysis of the spark...(Or maybe one of the timeline changes is that Narset, not Vol, has the awakened spark?)
And I can't stress this enough--it's been stated only Tarkir itself gets changed. Presumably, no extra-Tarkir memories are altered at all. Such as, for instance, Ajani's memories of meeting Vol. The Blind Eternities presumably act as a kind of temporal insulation for all the contained planes. I think either Rosewater or Beyer also mentioned that Tarkir's temporal fabric is of a different kind than the other planes'. So that could be another escape valve for multi-plane causality.
This is what I read too. I don't like it, but I think that's what happened.
I'm not so sure... "Sarkhan's presence became an impossibility" also applies to the modified present.

I think your right if we look back at his appereance in that trailer he looks different from what we know. Trail of white hair, different colour of the clothing and more draconic eyes.

I do agree that the trope allows for a time-traveler to go back to the altered present knowing what happened, but the whole "my existence is now impossible *poof*" thing just murders that possibility. The "new reality means no one remembers the old" version of the trope is used less-often because its not as good for story-telling if the time traveller is no longer aware of what he did, but it is occasionally used where only the reader knows that the alternate reality was ever a thing.
If they are going to limit it to Tarkir, thats fine and maybe necessary since Wizards only has so many creative team man-hours to devote to this thing without having to re-write a lot of magic too. Maybe other PW and beings will know of the first Sarkhan, but I firmly believe Vol will not. (Maybe it would be helpful to refer to a "new Sarkhan who doesn't run around with Bolas" as Vol)

Maybe other PW and beings will know of the first Sarkhan, but I firmly believe Vol will not. (Maybe it would be helpful to refer to a "new Sarkhan who doesn't run around with Bolas" as Vol)
