I would have liked to have done this /before/ the PAX spoilers and whatnot, so instead this edition will be brought to you (currently) by: "Random Stuff". I suspect that Fate Reforged is going to have VERY FEW multicolored cards (less than Khans). What's really perplexing me is the fact that they're hinting Set 3 in the block is going to be a Creative reboot, specifically reintroducing Dragons to the plane. I suspect Dragons will have their own tribal component, but we may (likely will?) see all 5 Clan mechanics. I just am not sure yet, and Fate Reforged will likely heavily sway my thoughts.
Secondly, it seems obvious Morph will ... morph ... throughout the block, doing interesting things similar to what we saw in Future Sight with cards such as Gathan Raiders and, more likely, Whip-Spine Drake. That was all but spoiled in some of the articles, but I haven't thought much on the subject of Morph just yet. That's later! Jury's on the fence about if we'll see noncreature morphs like Zoetic Cavern in the block.

My intention for Dune Marauder was more as a morph killer, part of the reason its ability cost is so onerous as well as rare, since Morph is fairly prominent in Limited.
Secondly, it seems obvious Morph will ... morph ... throughout the block, doing interesting things similar to what we saw in Future Sight with cards such as Gathan Raiders and, more likely, Whip-Spine Drake.

So for now, have some random stuff!
