I'm not going to read through 64 pages, but someone had to have noticed the vampire's resemblance to Vigo the Carpathian from Ghostbusters 2, right? RIGHT?!

Can you name all of the creature types with at least 20 cards? Try my Sporcle Quiz! Last Updated: 6/29/20 (Core Set 2021).
The only thing we can tell from the artwork on the last one is that it is at least Demir. It doesn't seem very likely a third color got used as that would be indicated with a touch of red or white on the box. Here is hoping for a Mystic Confluence reprint.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
If she is UB rogue, then here's hoping they print some real tribal support, because they have next to none as it currently stands, unlike clerics if she is UBW

No if she was esper white would be the first color on her box
2017 is apparently the year of squinting at blurry spoilers.
The last deck looks UB to me, but who knows. My eyes hurt.
It's probably Rogues.
Bowing figures: "You are the sneakiest one of all."
Center figure: "Yes! Yes, I am! THE SNEAKIEST ONE OF ALL! There is none more rogueish than me."
She looks like she's the leader of some sort of Thieves' Guild. (...I can't believe I had to use Google to figure out that the appropriate title was "guildmaster." Should've been self-evident.)
That'd be another kind of spin on Eminence: even when she's not physically present, her agents follow her orders at all times.

I saved the image and used photoshop to select the colors located in the vicinity of her mana cost - all of the tones are variations of yellow, but some pixels lean more to Bluish-green when selected, darken to a darker yellow (Black) and lighten to what is presumably White. I looked up Oloro and the scheme matches: WUB in that order of color change. I am going to say she's Esper. Try it out.

That means 4 white decks, I think there is a better chance at Grixis Wizards than 4 white decks in the same commander.

Blue is the only obvious color in her scheme. She is at least that for sure. Black and White are more difficult to confirm because there isn't enough resolution to rule out glare or shadows. She's a Gold card, so at least Dimir. But for sure Blue+
Looking at the artwork it seems the four guys behind her are mirrored (dude with no beard then dude with beard, after dude with same beard then dude with no beard). Her armor definitely looks to be roguish or assassin like (going to lean towards rogue) and she definitely shows signs in artwork that she is of some rank in an organization by posture and presumably the omega on her face. That's just my assumptions though.
Maybe her emminence or her ability has something to do with cloning.

I would be all over Dimir or Grixis rogues. They would need a lot of new tribe-specific cards though, probably even more so than cats at this point. Most of the rogue tribe cards are from Lorwyn and have the tribal supertype (Knowledge Exploitation etc), which Wizards said they wouldn't do again (they could always reprint those cards of course, but I'm not sure if they'll do).
You're telling me this fool has the decks and isn't leaking a damn thing?
Not sure if you're being serious here, but he obviously isn't leaking anything because he's running a YouTube channel that pretty much depends on Wizards (and their products).
We have seen 2 of them, and 2 having Avatars with Eminence seems to be a cycle starting up and I can't see them doing that for half the decks and not the other.
Two data points is not enough to determine a pattern. And eminence doesn't need to be attached to avatars.
Cause WOTC doesn't have a pattern of doing cycles?
Not everything WotC does is a cycle.
Just last year, only 3 out of the 5 face commanders were human. 2 out of 5 were from Alara. 2 out of 5 had keyword mechanics from old blocks.
In C15, only 3 of the 5 face commanders triggered off of casting spells of a certain type. Of those, two also cared about the spell's CMC.
In C14, only 3 of the 5 'walker commanders produced an emblem for their ult.
In C13, only 3 of the 5 face commanders got an effect that was boosted by the commander tax.
Coincidences happen; not everything is a pattern.
All 5 2016Decks had 3 partners.
All 5 2016 Decks had Undaunted
All 5 2016 Decks had Confluence
All 5 2015 Decks had Planeswalker commanders
All 5 2015 Decks had Lieutenants
All 5 2013 Decks had Tempting Offer
All 5 2011 Decks had Join Forces.
Usually when they do a new mechanic, all the decks get them.
Correct. That's why we can assume that all four decks have face cards with eminence. I think we all agree on that. It's the assumption that all four face cards will be avatars that is being disputed, because it might be (and probably is) just a coincidence that we saw the two that happen to be avatars first.

I guess they just for threw color balance to the wind for this one, as they more or less indicate from the start.
The gold one is Ur-dragon
And I think that purple one is whoever the women's tribe is.
I hearing the vampire box is suposivly mardu.
Not so fast
I'm also hearing its esper
The last deck looks UB to me, but who knows. My eyes hurt.
It's probably Rogues.
Bowing figures: "You are the sneakiest one of all."
Center figure: "Yes! Yes, I am! THE SNEAKIEST ONE OF ALL! There is none more rogueish than me."
To help you guys out
Here's the order of all
WUB esper
UBR grixis
BRG Jund
RGW Naya
GWU Bant
WBG Abzan
URW jeskai
BGU Sultai
RWB Mardu
GUR Temur
This is the exact order for all
As you can see W in the middle of Mardu and Bant and there is no green so vampires is indeed Mardu
If the purple box suposivly starts with UB it has to be grixis and I think i see a tint of R at the ending of the colors.
So if it's indeed grixis we're down to three to end the speculation
So we can elimitnate cleric from possiblity
1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
No if she was esper white would be the first color on her box
Esper always goes this order WUB
That'd be another kind of spin on Eminence: even when she's not physically present, her agents follow her orders at all times.
Cat looks cool
Vampire looks cool
Xantcha looks cool
If its Esper so Cleric still on the race XD.
LOL! I have to give that to you!
