Sam Stoddard, what a master troll. Getting people hook, line and sinker with that "We like the Pay 1 life template!" and making people expect fetchlands.
So we get the enemy colored painlands and not the allied color ones? Well that's reverse of the norm, but I thought Wizards was planning to do full 10 land cycles from now on.

Read the article. They want 10 land cycles in blocks so block constructed is balanced. I would guess the lands aren't expected to see a huge amount of play in standard itself if the next block's cycle is good.
that's not what happened at all. kamahl stabbed phage, akroma, and some old lady and they became korona. then korona got stabbed by her "prophets" and kamahl got drunk with a mutant centaur
Again wizards surprises everyone, however I do like this cycle a lot and look forward to opening them in packs

This seems to lend a little more credence to the next block having an enemy wedge (sub)theme.
Just what I was thinking...
I'm really hoping Tarkir ends up being the wedge set because the enemy color-pairings really need some love

Instead of ally pain lands in khans I'm expecting to see ally fetch lands in khans.
Why? Why even start this line of speculation? It seems pretty obvious that Khans will more than likely finish the 10land cycle. It has been said a couple times nkw by wizards that they work 2 years out and they didnt foresee the fetchland spike. This to me seems to point at them being in fall of next year at the earliest. I also seem to remember someone askng about them at Pax and being told not to expect them soon.
Pretty disappointing. Not that these lands are bad, but... was really hoping for at least the Innistrad dual lands, so I wouldn't have to go out and buy a whole new set of lands. Or, you know, fetches would have been great too, really need some for modern.

For ICYMI/TL:DR (the article's a little confusing) these are in M15:
seriously this set is infuriating though.

Instead of ally pain lands in khans I'm expecting to see ally fetch lands in khans.
Infuriating why? Most people seem very excited for this set.
My custom sets:
Caeia Block (Released - Beta)
Generals of Dareth (In Design)
to me the whole set is like:
"you know those reprints everyone wants? well we've been listening and **** you."
