Of all the known, non-native planeswalkers to expect on Innistrad, I admittedly didn't expect Teferi and Wrenn.
I can't immediately think of a time-related plot element associated with Innistrad right now, so here's my guess:
Teferi's mastery of time-magic will simply aid him in working to solve an Innistrad problem in a similar way that Kaya's ghostly magic was useful but central to Kaldheim's plot
And/or Teferi is there looking for solutions or managing problems well beyond Innistrad. Exiling ancient evil as opposed to destroying said evil is a common theme on the plane and maybe Teferi is researching phase and exile magic in an attempt to bring back Zhalfir and he gets caught up in local affairs?
Wrenn could be on Innistrad in an attempt to heal the plane post-Emrakul perhaps? We know that there are dryads on Innistrad.
I am glad that Arlinn is getting more emphasis in the story and maybe she or Wrenn will be recruited into the watch?

Wizards. listen. The Vorthos community will await the consequences of the Eldrazi Titans' deaths/sealing. We will keep the watch.

I'm going to say it's real. Going back to innistrad again soon. I'm all for some new planes. Or some planes that have yet to see sequels. There are still a few left. Kamigawa #2! Portal #2 ! You could do both in the same year. Starter #2. Mesh them all together in one year. It would be great.
Dood you are so far off...
It would be Portal 4. Doye.

Are some of you not looking at all the available material? Because I see Innistrad in Katakana on three of those Booster Boxes and their corresponding boosters. Both top rows. It makes perfect sense to have the word in the logo only in English, too, considerring they use very particular fonts for those, but the second row from the top shows Innistrad in Katakana on "Set Booster", "Draft Booster" and "Collector Booster" boxes.
The alternate version below almost certainly means these are different iterations of the design anyway, right?
The Kanji also spell out "Midnight Hunt", so that theory is confirmed, this is all pertaining to the Werewolf set. It never seemed likely to me personally that Either of the two sets would totally eschew any of the other major tribes of the plane. It's probably just going to be a larger focus on a main tribe.
I actually wouldn't mind seeing some characters getting two legendary cards across the two sets (you know, counting the main set, not just precon-deck versions/promos). Something that shows different aspects of a character the way Hustli changed across Ixalan. Maybe with a more memorable character/role than Huatli; they definitely got outshone by Vraska/Jace and even Angrath just not being another Human helped.
I'm always happy to see supplemental set planeswalkers making their appearance in the main series.
My apologies; I initially assumed there were no pictures beyond the bottom booster boxes and their respective boosters since those were the only ones that displayed on my iPad and the only ones that appeared in the link for me (even if the link versions were blurry as all get-out). Stuff not displaying on my iPad is kinda unusual for me since it displays pictures properly that my laptop refuses to display.
Heck, every day I wake up, I don't go out and kill people - and I'm rewarded by not having legions of enemies! Amazing how that works.
Although ninjas are experts of camouflage and concealment, they are actually horrible liars. This means that no matter where you are, you can shout out, “Are there any ninjas here?” and if there’s a ninja within earshot, he’ll be compelled to respond.
It was the name of the set, before they changed it.
They wanted it to be a "Atlantis" (lots of Merfolk) inspired set, but made it more about Dinosaurs instead.
They do that more often than you think.
This post is hilarious. The Merfolk where the last tribe added to the block, Ixalan start out with the idea of"vampire conquistadors". Atlazan isn't even atlantis, it is a corruption of Aztlán the (maybe real maybe mythical) ancestral home of the Aztec peoples and the origin of the name Aztec (Aztecah means "those from Aztlán).
The Merfolk were the opposite of the Vampires. They were a tribe that we didn't start with, and the green-blue faction was the one that went through the most changes through design and development. For a while, for example, this faction was the one with the Dinosaurs.

Oh, I'm entirely aware. This is a response to the "7 out of 8" hit rate with regard to illustrations on the bossters. I'm just pointing out that other aspects (like set name) have a lower hit rater (at, in this case, 2 out of 4).

Hopefully this means WoTC can finally give us a Werewolf Commander deck and a Vampire Commander deck as the Precons!
Well vampire was done with C17 and Edgar Markov is a powerful commander option. I therefore not really excited about them even while keeping in mind that they could keep them in RB this time.
Werewolf on the other hand would make me really happy.

Oh I definitely think that they would be in BR, and I know they already did a Vampire Commander deck. Somehow, I feel like they're pushing the vampire vs werewolves theme, and some starter precons for each just sound like a guarantee.
Werewolves, despite being in multiple sets, still need a ton of help to be any sort of legitimate competitors. I am hoping they finally break away from the "werewolves are the limited tribe" thing that has plagued them in the past. More control over the flip would be amazing.
Otherwise, I've recently wanted them to transform at upkeep instead of requiring a lack of spell casting.
Something like, "During your upkeep, human werewolves transform. At your end step, werewolves transform." That allows me to take advantage of their werewolf side while still having them be inefficient human creatures during my opponents' turns.
Flavorfully, my turn begins, "full moon" and they transform and attack as ravenous beasts. At the end step, combat bloodlust wears off, the sun rises and they become humans again.
It won't happen, but it would be cool. So I'll just cross my fingers for better control over the transformation.

I don't know. I thought there would be two sets in Innistrad one with some kind of Vampire theme and another with a werewolf theme. Could it be that we are getting 2 Commander Decks for each of them? When yes than the Vampire one would go with the Vampire set and maybe a werewolf one with the other set. The forces in Innistrad are Humans supported by Spirits (and Angels?), Vampires, Zombies supported by some necromancers, Werewolves and Demons supported by some human cultists. The decks could be focused around a new mechanics, too. Like the Blue/White Kaldheim precon.
Thinking about Vampires in Innistrad... I think there are some Blue aligned Vampires, too. Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge and Elusive Tormentor are from Innistrad. And we could add those vampires from the Dimir Guild. Bur rather unlikely.
I am interested to see how the plane is doing without Avacyn keeping the balance, only one of the archangel sisters being active and Emrakul being in the moon.
So I'm still confused by this Innistrad inception. Is it the same set with two different angles? Or are they two separate sets?
I need a drink...

I think it's two different sets, kind of like what some Japanese TCGs have done in the past. Why they chose to do this, who knows, but what I do know is that this is yet the third year in a row that we have a special booster of some sort being introduced. First it was collectors, then set, and now this.
Of all the known, non-native planeswalkers to expect on Innistrad, I admittedly didn't expect Teferi and Wrenn.
I can't immediately think of a time-related plot element associated with Innistrad right now, so here's my guess:
Teferi's mastery of time-magic will simply aid him in working to solve an Innistrad problem in a similar way that Kaya's ghostly magic was useful but central to Kaldheim's plot
And/or Teferi is there looking for solutions or managing problems well beyond Innistrad. Exiling ancient evil as opposed to destroying said evil is a common theme on the plane and maybe Teferi is researching phase and exile magic in an attempt to bring back Zhalfir and he gets caught up in local affairs?
Wrenn could be on Innistrad in an attempt to heal the plane post-Emrakul perhaps? We know that there are dryads on Innistrad.
I am glad that Arlinn is getting more emphasis in the story and maybe she or Wrenn will be recruited into the watch?
Is nobody going to talk about how Oko is on the first box? Last I checked Innistrad vampires had rounded ears rather than pointed ones, and it would make sense for 4 walkers, 2+2, to be on the plane. The question is why is he there, besides being on the run from Garruk.

Huh, I thought Oko would be better at shapeshifting than to mess up the ears.
