I've been on an izzet kick, so ive got a mind for UR stuff right now.
I'd like to see them print an artifact or enchantment that is a warstorm surge for instant's and sorceries, like
"whenever an instant or sorcery you cast resolves you may deal damage equal to it's CMC to target creature or player"
Or perhaps just a flat damage amount per spell, cmc might be too ridiculous
I'd like to see some commanders that have alternative win conditions, I don't mean commanders that mill other players, I'm thinking more along the lines of a commander with a Maze's End like ability that could be fun to build around. Though, rather than "win the game" it would probably be more multiplayer friendly to say "target player loses the game" so LGS that host commander tournaments will be able to assign 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th more easily.
I'd also would like to see WOTC release a new group hug general in one of the pre-constructed decks, though enemy colored pairs might be not the best place the fit one in.
Target player loses the game is far more multiplayer un-friendly, as it means someone needs to sit out the game. Also, the table fear at such an effect is pretty toxic and unpleasant, knowing that once it's active all that one person has done is meaningless, and you can only hope the fates don't pick you. Ye old Door to Nothingness attribute.
How mad will you be when half of each deck is recent stuff from RTR and THS?
I really hope they don't do this, there's so many awesome cards eagerly awaiting to be printed on the modern (or post-modern) border like Diabolic Edict, that I'll invariably be pissed when they print Geth's Verdict instead.
I hope Tragic Poet is reprinted in this. Needs to be in the new border. Meanwhile, I don't really like enemy pairs except I love Simic. So here's to something good in the UG deck. I actually feel like the UR deck might have Jenrik in it if they go that route. Though frankly I'd rather have a card for Arixmethes. Unless someone knows who is in or what card has the art of the attached file. It looks like new unused art to me.

I'm hopeful for Vindicate non-foil new border, but it probably isn't happening.
That isn't unreasonable- I don't remember how much Wurmcoil Engine was before last year's decks,
but I'm fairly sure it was more than Vindicate is now.

In 2011, we got wedges: in 2013, we got shards. 2014 was monocolored decks. In 2015, I'm pretty sure we're getting 4-color decks, and here's why:
-There are no four-color commanders at the moment.
-This also sets itself up nicely for five decks, since you can have one deck each that is nongreen, nonblue, nonred, nonblack, and nonwhite.
-Four-color is the hardest set of color combinations to make design space for, so they'll probably never make a whole block around it, but could print a supplemental product.
I think we're gonna see lots of four-color stuff. This means that the decks will need to have lots of color fixing. Bloom Tender and Mycosynth Lattice seem like obvious reprints.

Man, I'd LOVE to see some 4-color legendary creatures! I'm pretty surprised the one's that actually exist aren't legendary; they certainly feel legendary and have very powerful abilities. I sure hope you're right!

What? These are going to be enemy-colored 2-colored decks. That's been confirmed.

Do you mean 2016? I'm asking because they've already announced that the decks for this year will be two color enemy pairs.
If they do release 4 color decks next year, I feel like a 5 color deck and a colorless deck won't be far behind.
Has anyone else speculated on what the reprinted commander cycle will be for this set? The easiest guess would be using the cycle of enemy-colored legendaries from Commander 2011, but we've already had two of those reprinted in Conspiracy (plus they'd have to be moved up from rare to mythic). Guild leaders in a combination from either Ravnica or RTR would work too. It's possible that there won't be any organization to the cycle and that we'll get say Glissa the Traitor for the BG and Iroas for the RW deck.
They've said time and time again that 4-color doesn't have enough of an identity separate from 5-color to be worth the effort.
Maro has said it is inevitable about a 4-colro legend, and since the only ones who really want them is EDH players, one year it is bound to happen in the Commander decks. This year has been confirmed to be enemy-colored guilds, but maybe in 2016 they will show up.
Hopefully, each will have a general that costs 3 mana or less, just to throw Tiny Leaders a bone. It's probably a dead format anyways, but I'm a nice guy like that.

Intensity, Integrity, Intelligence, Personified and Penguinified.
I first read that as a 4-color, Tiny Leader general. THAT would be great.
Maybe that's what we are getting, like the Khan block generals that were one color...but triple color identity. Enemy combo color but triple/quadruple color identity? Everyone would like that. What's the official language of what we're getting?
4-color decks will be inevitable at some point, but I do agree that it would be hard to design. The only way I can think of doing it would be to look at the one color that isn't in the deck and then make a general that can do everything the one excluded color cannot do.
That or center each deck in a single color and make the legendary creature have three activated abilities that cross over into the territories of the other three colors in the deck, like something akin to Cromat.
If it's confirmed to be enemy-colored guilds, we're getting one enemy-color fetchland in each deck, guaranteed. It's such an obvious inclusion and fans have been clamoring for these for so long.

The inclusion of a fetchland is near guaranteed. The inclusion of a Zendikar one is definitely not, though... I could really see them completing the Mirage ETBT fetch cycle for these decks.

Yeah, I'm aware of that one; So, yes- like a variation of sphinx-bone wand .
Maybe something that costs a little less and is immediately able to do some reasonable damage off the first spell you cast.
The wand obviously has awesome scaling potential, but it takes a a lot of spells before it starts to have any real effect.
I think there's room for another card with a similar theme.
