I have been wondering for a while now if Wizards would make another dragons-matter set or block (Scourge was the last one to my knowledge). Since one of the set names is Dragons of Tarkir (supposedly) I think this would be the most likely of times to do it. Does anyone know if Maro or Wizards has talked about making a dragons-matter or dragon-centric set/block?
Have not heard anything hinting a block going that way. If that does end up being the set name it will likely just mean there will be a dragon focus for that part of the block, but not the block as a whole.

Dang, there goes my hopes and dreams. A set dedicated somewhat to dragons would be cool though. I just want this block/set to do for dragons what Zendikar did for vampires. I thought it was awesome how they flavorfully injected small cmc vampires into that block.
Yes to dragons-matter. MaRo has said a couple of times that dragons are THE most popular creature - why else would they ALWAYS have a dragon in every block? Additionally, if this IS Sarkhan's home plane, perhaps he (or another shaman) has found a way to bring dragons back to the plane. Perhaps Bolas will come back into play in a not-so-Kevin-Bacony way. Gah! You have me excited...

It's about time for the reserved list to die, for the sake of Vintage and Legacy (And Commander).
If it is the home plane of Sarkhan then I'd expect to see some.
I am perfectly happy with more dragons. I'd think it would be more
Although it would make me feel like an idiot for trading away my play set of crucible of fire (for a shockland and scavenging ooze).. did you know they are up to $5 now.. that is rediclous!
Dragons-matter is highly unlikely. A set with a strong dragon similar to Avacyn Restored with angels, then yes, that is a possibility.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought Avacyn Restored did have angels-matter cards. I thought _______s-matter meant that the filled in blank had cards that interacted specifically with that creature or card type. There are only six cards in Avacyn Restored that match this description so I don't know if there is a threshold that has to be met for the set to be considered angels-matter. At any rate I would love to see a similar presence of dragons in the upcoming block and/or sets.
A new five color dragon would do quite well, it would give Scion of the Ur-Dragon some competition as the dragon-lord avatar. It has been a number of years since we had a 5c legendary creature.

This is an awesome idea. I hadn't thought about a five color dragon for the block. I would like to see dragons in every color too. Most likely they will hang around red, but I am probably getting too excited and will be let down when it is spoiled. Here is to hoping the Sunday brings good news!
