Eldrazi is probably one of the four with a colorless legend with mana symbols on it's text box (probably Jund), although Jund Devoid is also a possibility.

A tribal Eldrazi deck of some sort is the great opportunity to print a colorless (but not really) EDH deck.
An opportunity to grab with both hands, Wizards!
Hoping for another one to be 5C to balance it out.
The only way I will accept a new Eldrazi legend is if it's 5c devoid and they provide a background story on why he wasn't on Zendikar at any point in time

They could do a card of the false future version of General Tazri. In the story centered around her, she experienced her future, and it mentioned she had undergone changes of body, mind, and abilities due to Kozilek. Her original card had a 5 color identity, so this could be an easy thing for them to justify.
It is set that way possible but not garateed to happen.
What does that mean?
By the for Myr, well Eldrazi is more likely than them but they would be the subtype for that deck believe it or not.
Does "they" refer to Myr or Eldrazi? Also what deck? What is the insight here that I am missing?
1) my poll is Based on probable
2) they refers to Myr being a sub type and I'm talking about one of these commander decks being colorless and Eldrazi/Myr is probably just that. Wizard said a while back (forgot the source) they would not mind at all At making a pre-built colorless commander deck, heck they maybe even want to I don't remember. This is a golden opportunity to try it because it's not color focused this time.
I can't believe you left out Elementals. They're the perfect EDH tribe next to Dragons and Angels, with an array of small to huge creatures with big splashy effects, a decent card pool as it stands, and can fit into all colors.
I'm still voting for ninjas. They said at least one would be tribe would be unexpected, and no one expects the Spanish inquisition - I mean no one expects ninjas because they sneak into play. I want a legendary Dimir ninja that can ninjitsu from the command zone.

Zombies will absolutely be present. Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Death Baron are crying out for reprints, and have been left out of every supplemental product for the last X years. I'm guessing it would probably be Dimir colours.
I'm leaning towards thinking there will be a Mardu Angel deck, just so they have another excuse to reprint Kaalia of the Vast, too. They've printed enough decent partially or fully red/black angels of late that they could make it work fairly well.

With Commander anthology Kaalia will reach her second reprint (even if the first reprint had been in a limited supply in Arsenal).
Indeed she will, but I wouldn't be surprised if they threw two reprints in two products. The Anthology isn't going to be terribly widely available, AFAIK - they certainly don't seem to have a heap of effect on card pricing. A C17 reprint certainly would. As an example, Baleful Strix saw a reprint in both Planechase Anthology and EMA, IIRC.
My feeling is Faeries, Elementals, Zombies, and possibly treefolk are all tribes that may see a printing in this coming commander product.

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!
I wonder: will they use this product as an opportunity to print legends for popular tribes in color combinations that tribe has not had access to before? Like how Shattergang Brothers was the very first Jund Goblin legend, or how Leovold, Emissary of Trest was the first Sultai Elf legend. I know Abzan Elves would be popular seeing as BG and GW are the two most common Elf pairs.
The poll should ask "Which tribes do you think are likely for Commander 2017" as most any tribe is technically possible.

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

This is a golden opportunity to try it because it's not color focused this time.
The poll says "possible" as in having any likelihood, no matter how low. "Probable" is a bit more objective, but at least requiring a 50% likelihood. Crabs, for instance, are possible based on numbers, but highly improbable.
I expect Zombie, Goblin and Elf to be present and probably an excuse as to why only 4 decks in the form of a 5 color or colorless deck - id love to see Eldrazi but its probably more likely to be 5 color Dragons.
I like the idea of each deck having a class tribal + race tribal combo.
Preferably with the general being a [class+race] guy and the other two (alternative) legends in the deck being a [class] guy with Partner and a [race] guy with Partner.
As for which class+race combos that would be...no clue. I know what I'd choose in Christmassy Magic-land though: Minotaur Wizards, Rat Artificers, Frog Knights, and Troll Advisors.
I'd like it a lot if you could mix and match the decks for class or race. Like the red and white decks both have some goblin and soldier tribal, white and green both have human and elf tribal, green and red have some goblin and warrior tribal, etc.

I hope that one of the decks if 5 colored and comes with a Changeling commander where you name a type and give benefits for that type, or a 5 color Cryptic Gateway legendary creature with changeling. Either way, this would allow another 2-3 new commanders to go in this deck that buff neglected tribes that also didn't get a deck for themselves, and the rest of the deck can be filled with a bunch of esoteric lords and changelings with a reprint commander going to Reaper King. The estimate of 3-4 new commanders being made for this deck is based off of the fact that every year before 2016 has had 10 new commanders, but with 2016 giving more than 3 new ones each, and 2017 having four decks instead of five, I figured that they would go back to having 10 of the new cards being Commanders for the decks, with the 5 color deck getting some of the extras.

You know about Karona? She could be a reprint, but I hearily agree we should see more of the inhabitants of Velis Vel. And Amoeboid Changeling does well for or against tribal decks.
Merfolk need some reprints, Vampires have real potential to gain some legendary gems.
Humans make for a good 'normal' race to contrast Slivers while also making a fine three-way match with Merfolk and Vampires.
Slivers would be taking advantage of the opportunity to tease their return to standard in the fashion of those two later core sets pre-Origins. (And maybe they will actually show up soon?)
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.
Basicly what tribes you think are possible?
Elfs, goblins, and zombies are excluded because they are too obvious and done to death plus atleast one by default will get a slot.
Dragons is pretty much a given.

Eldrazi Tazri. Please wizards, please.
Note: A myr deck being entirely colorless would exclude one in seven currently existing Myrs (the mana Myr cycle).

Dragons - Er, RG Dragons, possibly BRG or GUR
I'd also be up for dual-tribe decks with pairs like UB Zombies + Wizards and RG Shamans + Dragons.
