The fall set announcement is just about a given. Maybe not the winter set. Do you mean Magic 2019? I don't think they have anything on the 2020 core set yet.

We already know M19 which is releasing this summer, so they'll (probably) talk about M20, kind of how they mentioned M19 last year.

There's some new stuff about to drop in the very near future I'd like to know more about. Battle Bond releases on June 8th, that's just 6 weeks from now, and I'm curious about the Global Series Yanggu/Yanling, which is coming out June 22nd. Two entirely new product lines, with no info on them less than 2 months before their release.

We don't know when the next A-Day is, but I think that it is very imminent. It's about time we get some information about the Fall and Winter set and the two remaining Masters sets of 2018
Note that in-depth info about sets that have already been announced isn't what Announcement Day is for. It's in the name. More info about Battlebond, C18 and CA2 will probably be released separately, and likely very soon as well. I think they just want to finish off riding the wave of hype for Dominaria before they turn our attention to other things.
(edit: removed a paragraph made irrelevant by the mod edit)
Blake confirmed on Twitch it will be early May, which makes sense Battlebond is early June so they want to have Announcement day done before spoiler season starts again.
Yay, the Announcement day announcement day has come!
What are the chances that we get some new info about the Magic MMO? It's been quite a while and all we have so far is that it is a thing and being developed by Cryptic, but that's pretty much it.
Here's to hoping more info for this year's Commander decks than nothing and that we DON'T hear about the next three Masters sets. If we're lucky we won't get any Masters sets for a year and can get another Conspiracy or something. I know I shouldn't assume, but I think most players are tired of Masters sets at the moment.
I'm sure we'll get the names of the next 3-8 sets/products, some images, and maybe only a card or two. Gotta keep expectations down, although Wizards has been hitting out of the park a bit lately between Unstable, Challenger Decks, and Dominaria. Hopefully they can keep that momentum going.
I'm pretty sure Battlebond is replacing conspiracy for this year atleast. I could be wrong though.
Yeah, most likely, but I'm only hoping for no Masters for at least a year. Conspiracy or Battlebond, whatever as long as I don't have to pay $10 per pack.
Are we absolutely sure we're going back to Ravnica this fall? If so, I don't see them reprinting all shock lands in a 260-ish-card set. Presuamably there'll be two sets on Ravnica one after another or at least within a few sets? What other planes are considered "corporate safe"? Karn was hinting at New Phyrexia. Maybe Ravnica, then New Phyrexia?
I think they’re going to do it like last year where we get all the products for the next year. It seems to make more sense with me because with the change in how blocks are gone and we how we now have sets and how we get core sets in summer, it kind of makes more sense to just do an annual announcement day to me. If anything, they might do a big announcement and do another mini announcement early next year like they did this time for supplemental products in the second half of the year.
Also in the mini announcement day Blake said the announcement day will look into Magic’s future and what planes will be visited after the corset.
They have a it set up for two announcement days a year with each on having around 6 months of info. But because they wanted to built up hype for the 25ht anniversary we had that wonky announcement week last year that gave us the info for Dominaria and the corset a lot earlier then we would have known.

I really wish they'd manage a reset back to the originally intended scheme of two fixed times per year. I loved the predictability.
Are we absolutely sure we're going back to Ravnica this fall?
As far as I know, we have zero reason to believe that we're going to Ravnica this year or the next. It's one of those things where one person says it might happen or that they'd like it to happen, some more people come up with reasons why it should happen, and people gradually jump on until everyone is convinced that it MUST happen, there is just no other way. And then, when this thing the community has woven out of thin air doesn't happen, some people even feel betrayed that it didn't happen and lash out at WotC. Watch people get gravely upset when the Fall set is something else, anything else.
Remember when everyone just KNEW that SFM would get unbanned in Modern? Best example of this phenomenon.
Not saying that the Fall set can't be Ravnica. It could happen, why not? But don't get fooled by the community convincing themselves for no good reason.

I think they will, we didn't leaned about Kaladesh or Aether Revolt until the May before, so we are getting back on schedule.

They mentioned the Core set last year because its return was massive news at the time, now that we know it is a regular thing again, the announcement of the next core set can wait until after the current one releases.
As for what they'll mention this time around: More stuff about the summer products, possibly with a preview for Battlebond. More info about this years core set, again possibly with a preview. The next big Set name, no cards revealed because it would be to early, maybe some art. And of course, more info regarding this years Commander product, and the fall/winter Masters set that is likely to appear.

Well, we do know that Ravnica is Bolas' ultimate target, so there's that. Chances are pretty high that we go there sometime in the forseeable future, but when exactly is pure guesswork. And my guess would be definitely not this fall, the gatewatch needs some time to regroup before the grand finale.
Returns to Ravnica and/or Theros seem the most likely for next fall. Dominaria came off of three consecutive new planes, so we're due for another old setting. My friend used the 3 color weight cycle to point out a possible devotion prediction, but, incidentally, Dominaria also has an above-average number of multicolored cards as well, with the most 3-color cards in a single set since Khans block. We are long overdue for another gold set, since the aforementioned block was the most recent.

The statistics can be a bit off in Dominaria, as legendaries tend to push for multicolor. The MMM cycle still stands out, though.

And what are you expecting to be announced? I'd say the Fall '18 and Winter '19 sets + some other promotional product, and perhaps mentioning M20.
