for tribal support demons are probably getting the same treatment dragons got in the tarkir block just not as much.
(Vast majorly of dragons and support were just mono red now tarkir later it’s a 5-color tribe.)
MaRo enjoys beating us over the head with stuff so I have a feeling like we're leaving the "Year of Double Face Cards" and heading into the "Year of Sagas" and I'm not looking forward to that at all, honestly. I think they are a very boring card type and seems like they want to throw them into every set just to remind us "Hey, don't forget about SAGAS!!"

We'll get Sagas again this year just for Dominaria alone, but New Capena so far might not have them. It's not a return set. If they can make a Strixhaven color pair about history that doesn't use Sagas, there is no strong indication they'll use them here. Maybe referencing the historic take-over of the Angel's city by Demons?

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.
[thread=239793][Game] Level Up - Creature[/thread]
Some sort of "contract" mechanic that represents the deals people are entering into with the gangsters. I'm thinking it may be something similar to a quest, where you have to do X and then you get Y once you complete it.
Here's my wild speculation, the contract/quest mechanic works like companions in that it starts out of your deck and can be initialized from the board, or maybe a variant on dungeons from AFR.
Maybe we'll get cycling, and the shard Triomes. Strixhaven did not have a unique named mechanic for each of its factions, so that may be an indication that this won't, either.
I also think investigate is a likely candidate for a mechanic, since that plays well into the noir theme.
Given the recent re-formatting of Hideaway in a Secret Lair, I take that as a fairly strong hint that the mechanic is slated for Re-use in the near future and New Capenna is probably where it would work best.
I don’t see Hideaway AND a major investigate theme AND a major cycling mechanic all being in the same set. In fact, I struggle to imagine more than one “card flow mechanic” appearing in the set.
Hoping for at least one Angel. It is clear that the demon have the focus but the city were build by angels so I hope to see at least one. We still missing the Orzhov Tribal Angel for the little support we got for the tribe in Kaldheim.
Actually I’m sure there’s gonna be angels trying to get new capena back under their control
and of coarse we know the long wait for a demon tribal legend comes to a close here. Heck because all five 3 color factions arerunned by demons there’s actually a chance demons get the same treatment the dragons got in tarkir block
my thought is perhaps the different gangs will be represented by some of the seven deadly sins. sloth and lust are probably out..lust is kind of not appropriate for a game that say age 13+ on the package, while sloth might be a little too lazy to fight.
if it;s a wedge set-
wrath would obviously be WRB as one of the most violent gangs
pride as RUW maybe? prehaps the'yd be the "corrupt police, there could be a "demonic angel" leading them?
gluttony might be BGU
greed as BGW
and envy as RUG
In addition to mobster movie tropes (e.g Offer They Can't Refuse, Piece of the Action, Sleep with the Fishes, Bank Heist, Valentine's Day Massacre, etc.), I expect to also see some Film Noir tropes.
Related - as New Capenna is (or was) literally a "City of Angels", I expect some Los Angeles homages, especially to Prohibition Era LA.
I think this is a shard-based set if I'm not mistaken. That said, I wouldn't be surprised to see:
- Some sort of fire arms but more catered to the fanfic aesthetic
- Turfs as the new trilands (instead of triomes)
- Gang hierarchy akin to that of the guilds in Ravnica (chief leader, second in command)
- Donuts

While I do expect a new cycle of lands, a part of me kind of expect wizards to avoid the word "turf" when possible after the whole thing with Terese Nielson and the "No Terfs on Gruul Turf" thing. I honestly "territory" lands instead as that can have a very similar connotation without the possible baggage.
Also, Strixhaven did introduce the concept of a "scroll magine gun"...
If Elspeth and Ob stay mono-colored that bumps up W and B to 5.5 and 6.5 respectfully. Meaning (if go by planeswalker default) the third walker will be: R, G, RW, GW or RG as those are the colors and combos that are low in standard atm, unless we end up with a tri-color to keep in theme.
So this likely means Ajani could turn up to have a reunion with Elspeth or maybe Tibalt to fit the demon/devil theme if not the native.
- I do think Ajani or Tibalt or whomever the third walker will be will be compleated and I do think we gonna see compleated walkers pop up instead of a praetor in some sets.

definately Tibalt if that’s the case
wizards forgot to mention if Vorinclex ever removed the seed he planted in tibalt to blackmail him to do what he did on kaldheim.

I don't think they forgot I think it was intentional that Vorinclex and Tibalt both left Kaldheim without the seed being removed, which likely will mean Tibalt will be seeking out Vorinclex and that will lead to him being captured and compleated. Likely the "seed" was Vorinclex starting Tibalt being compleated, likely not part of the compleated planeswalker plan just doing in general, and will be finished by Jin.

so far all we know is the following
1. it’s a three color set logically it should be shards do to the vast number of wedge/enemy color stuff we got for a couple of years
2. This place is important to Elsepth so she’s likely getting a card here
3. It’s a plane inspired by “gangster movies” which are run by demons there’s 5 crime family’s
4. Were gonna learn about “old” capena https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/677278983557169153/after-the-new-capenna-storyline-is-finished-will
for tribal support demons are probably getting the same treatment dragons got in the tarkir block just not as much.

Because gangs/mafia have hideouts
also safe houses
and what fits the best of all for hideaway is the secret stashes they have (weapons/drugs/money/jewels/alcohol)
and of coarse we know the long wait for a demon tribal legend comes to a close here. Heck because all five 3 color factions arerunned by demons there’s actually a chance demons get the same treatment the dragons got in tarkir block

-We are gonna see a mix of shards and wedges, I think they would have out right said if it was shards (not married to this idea tho)
-They said something about a diverse range of non-humans so, I think in theme we will see Azra/Teiflings
- Currently the planeswalker color balance is;
W-4.5 (Bahamet, Wanderer, Niko, Teferi, Kaya 1, Kaya 2, Nahiri)
U- 6.5 (Jace, Mordekainen, Will, Tezzeret, Kaito, Tamiyo, Niko, Teferi, Kasmina )
B- 5.5 Lolth, Liliana, Sorin, Tibalt, Kaya 1, Kaya 2, Nissa)
R- 5.5 (Lukka, Tibalt, Chandra, Rowan, Zariel, Arlinn, Nahiri)
G- 5 (Ellywick, Tyvar, Wrenn, Tamiyo, Arlinn, Nissa, Kasmina)

It shouldn't be. I think this set will have the 5 commander Decks, right? At least Strixhaven and Ikoria were both the April Set.
For White/Green there is Calix, too.
