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.
I'm pretty sure planewalkers are somewhat common knowledge on Zendikar. The gatewatch didn't try to hide it, and Tazri,Jori En, and Kiora's sister knew or at least suspected.
I'm hoping for tribes that we normally don't see often, and maybe don't have a lot of commander support. Elves are an automatic no, and seriously don't need support. I can see a number of other tribes that would automatic no's as well.
Werewolves on the other hand, have some decent support, but only one legend. And it isn't even a tribal based one, its just a semi powerful werewolf that just so happens to be a legendary. So it would be an awesome thing to do for the people wanted viable ww edh. However, the logistics of printing a werewolf deck are difficult. They would have to print proxies (and a lot of them), just to cover the number of werewolves in the deck. The box would have to be different as well. I could see them printing more plain wolves to offset the ww numbers though.
Spiders would also be fun, since they have a commander, but are dreadfully lacking in decent spiders. Other tribes I could see them doing; spirits, treefolk, merfolk, and possibly eldrazi. Also, anyone wondering if they do thopter tribal?
I would like to see one too, or a Devoid 5 color Legendary Eldrazi. Creative would really need to justify it though, seeing as they made it fairly clear that the three titans were the only Eldrazi of legendary status. I could see it if they made its name along the lines of 'It that Betrays,' and spin it as a local legend, like an especially tough or intimidating Eldrazi from Zendikar.
Or it could have been similar to the mutated creatures of Innistrad. Two of the meld cards were legendary, like Brisela and town of Hanwier.
I personally hope they don't do an elf deck. I understand it's popular, but it has more than enough support already, it doesn't need more. It's the same for zombies. I think it would be better to give some less supported tribes (still popular or wanted) more tools to work with. Please wizards, give me more spiders! Ishkanah needs new toys!
I just have a hard time seeing them do 5-color decks. I simply don't see how the could make them thematically different from one another. Ally pairs I can see them doing though, plus, I would be super happy if they did a tribal theme too.
Knowing this, the order of colors are likely, WUGBR. However, that would place the snake-headed one into red, which sort of fits, and sort of doesn't. I'm not sure.
My favorite format is EDH. Its relatively easy to get started in, the games always prove to be interesting(Unless Rafiq is involved), and I like the deck-building style. Other then that, I play a smattering of modern or standard decks, none are competitive since I haven't tried going to a game store event yet. Recently I've also tried to get into pauper.
I think that overall the stories in SoI and EMD were better than the BFZ ones, but that while some of the Kaladesh and Aether Revolt stories have been okay, some of them have been pretty dreadful. Today's story, for example, was extremely weak, with important story events being presented with no drama whatsoever, not to mention uninspired-to-dreadful characterization, while the one which introduced Ajani to the storyline, and which also presented his backstory with Tamiyo and her story circle, was excellent. Overall the quality has been extremely uneven.
I would have to agree. BFZ didn't seem bad at the time, but looking back, especially when comparing it to newer stories, it was pretty weak. I found SOI and EMD very interesting, although they lacked enough connection with the rest the action on Innistrad to be as awesome as I would have liked. Kaladesh and Aether Revolt have been mostly good. Some stories were pretty meh, but there are a few that were just extremely well written.
Two or three color decks seem far more likely to me. A five color deck may be two powerful, and it can be hard to make the different tribal decks have unique themes when they span all five colors. Also, certain tribes are unlikely to contain particular colors due to flavor reasons. For example, it would be hard to design a warrior tribe when you use colors like blue, or a spirit tribe with green or red. Granted, these things can happen, but they would have to find flavorful reasons to do this. Allied color pairs are far more likely to me.

Eldrazi Tazri. Please wizards, please.

No, they collapsed to form the flight of nightmares, see Subjugator Angel. Thus moonsilver has to be the name of the fourth flight.
This makes sense considering that snakes as a tribe are typically UG.
1- Solidarity
2- Knowledge
3- Strength
4- Ambition
5- Zeal

She might be. They never mentioned what plane she lives on, so it's all speculation.
