My 5 cents on fetches topic: I suppose it is possible.
The reason behind this supposition is that WotC makes money out of selling sealed product, so the main purpose of C15 decks is to be sold out. Players already spent loads of money on BFZ sealed product, and there is an upcoming winter set begging for even more, so there must be something definitely worthy to lure people into paying $35 for a pile of cards (better $150 for FIVE piles) with very limited playability, that are even not legal in Standard. Fetches solve the problem, period.
Eh, I pre ordered a set of all 5 from a reliable ebay seller regardless, as I have for the past 2 years. I'm hooked on commander as a format and the releases are always worth getting a full set of... Commander is also why Ill always order the annual From the Vault releases. Im just sorry I didnt find this format until after the commander's arsenal was released, so many great cards in modern borders I would love to have without paying too much for them.
Enemy Fetches would be really nice for me to import into my Modern decks, especially a Scalding Tarn or Verdant Catacombs. I concur that their inclusions would also push casual players away from being able to purchase the Izzet and Golgari decks, but it would also reduce the cost of those cards dramatically which would help modern immensely. So I can see a good and bad point to either choice.
Them reprinting the fetches can surely only have positive results for magic and the community?
Unless that causes $80-$90 precons at game shops. And based on the True-Name Nemesis issue with the Shard EDH decks it would totally jack with prices and keep a lot of dirty casuals from getting their deck - and they will complain. We already know that there are people willing to pay over $100 for the blue ones and reprinting them in the pre-cons will not be a positive for a lot of people.
Printing fetches in commander won't get enough in circulation to drive prices down. They need to print them in a large print run set (like they did with friendly color fetches in khans), not in a set like commander with a limited print run.
Commander sets aren't limited. They keep printing them to demand for the year

Regardless, it ain't gonna happen or I'll eat a pair of my old smelly shoes. (Then buy all 5 decks asap)
a buddy just sent me this, said its from a reddit post.
That's a decent Voltron commander. The experience counters will be interesting. Depends on what you do with them. I have a sneaking suspicion the U/G one will involve drawing cards, which could end up being the nail in PoK's coffin.

You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.
the deck name is pretty silly looking again at it now. Also, does it feel like there isnt enough blah blah on the side of the box? id expect more advertising or info all down the sides.

The design of the card feels wizards-ey to me. Subtle, understated, and almost sounds like something we've had before, but is definitely unique. It also "plays" with the commander format like the last few sets have. I feel like fakes tend to go hard on wacky designs, but this is pretty low-key compared to what I would expect on a fake.

At this point I just want spoilers!!

That's one heck of a fake mockup if it is. That person deserves some credit.

London Drugs? Yeah, makes sense that they would sell cards at a drugstore. Gotta feed that crack...ing packs addiction.

Pretty sure that confirms it as real.
Would not like that at all.

As for the card, it's not a bad card. I'd like it if all it had was the two keyword abilities. The rest is just succulent gravy,

True, but I'd love it and buy them all anyway out of humour, probably.
You missed the Golgari one called "Dig Your Own Hole" too.
