I suspect it will look much more like ROE than ZEN/WWK, largely because it was better received and the Eldrazi still being around leads naturally to Eldrazi spawn returning. It might even be another set with "battlecruiser magic," which I believe they said was well received and we haven't seen in 5 years.
Edi: Research on blogatog reveals that Battlecruiser magic was well received only among enfranchised players, and generally considered a failure (like TSP block). They might try to "fix" the concept, as they did with chroma, but I suspect we will instead see a slowish normal format.
They said Theros was battlecruiser, with all the massive voltron dudes and monsters. I think it will be like rise but with some viable strategy that can make use of bears to avoid the bear trap. That or no common/uncommon bears
My expectation is that it will have colorless subtheme that works well with morph and manifest. Also for contrast, there will be a colored mana symbol matter. Not devotion but just count the number of symbols on a card like target creature gets +2/+2 for each mana symbol in its casting cost. It will work well with the tri-color cards that we currently have. Lastly, elemental tribal representing the land fighting back.
What characteristics do people expect for Battle for Zendikar limited?
The previous Zendikar limited format consisted of a blazing fast environment, with a ton of 2/1's and removal.
Do people expect Battle for Zendikar to be similar?
Frankly, it is way, way too early to even remotely speculate about this. And it shall go to baseless.
I think that they learned from Zendikar and they will try to make it a little more balanced.
Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)
