I've long thought that at some point Wizards might print a set that would be designed for a Commander-style limited environment. In order for that to work, one would need a collation method where players were absolutely guaranteed to have access to a selection of Legendary creatures in their sealed or draft pool - no risk of people being able to say "I couldn't draft an eligible Commander, I never saw one!". I had thought they might do this for Iconic or A25 or a future Masters set, but it didn't happen in Iconic or A25...
...Well, along comes the big Dominaria spoiler, and now we have exactly what I expected would be the necessary key for Commander Limited. A set where every pack has a guaranteed Legendary creature.
"In every Dominaria booster pack, you'll find at least one legendary creature"
Add to that their tease in the leak-spin announcement yesterday:
"We have a super-secret project associated with Dominaria that involves a fun new way to play Magic. We had already planned to talk about it, but now we can talk about it using Dominaria cards as an example. So, we'll call that a silver lining."
And I think the stars are finally aligning. I expect that this limited season will have events that play with the concept of your limited deck having a 'Commander' that follows the usual behaviour as in EDH/Commander.
I got a speculation they are going to try to figure out a way to get a whole bunch of the older legendary creature cards to get the new legendary border ezuri is the first reprint to get the new border in elves vs inventors duel deck

Either lots of packs or having a lower minimum deck size.

Either lots of packs or having a lower minimum deck size.
Well, normal limited formats have smaller decks too, so it is a safe bet here as well. Besides, drafting for 100 card decks would be insane.
