See above about Yasova Dragonclaw. The Tarkir part of the storyline looks like it's taking place in the past. slight chance for Sarkan, but I doubt we'll narset unless she's part of the group Ajani's gathered.
I hope this story is good. I would like to see some good legends and callbacks, but I dislike the fact that she is so obessesed with Tarkir, calm down, and reference older stuff not only your own work. I mean all the commander products are flooded with forgettable tarkir legends. Like stahp a bit and give room to the other 25 years of lore.

I meant more who is recruited. If Ajani has recruited Ugin for the Final Bolas fight then I expect Sarkhan to also tag along. But seeing as Sarkhan is at the center of bringing Ugin back well you expect to see him.
Each core set has a land cycle. With them basing the story in a bloodless come with fetch lands. Could it be possible for them to get a reprint. I thank most of what they are doing now is to drive sales. These would sale the set.
It's very likely shocklands will be reprinted when returning to Ravnica again and wizards won't have another standard with a fetches + shocks manabase, so I don't think so.
I'm hopeful for some good story but I was with Dominaria too - and that "awarded fantasy author" was decidedly not to my taste. Hopefully this writer lives up to the hype?
Also if we're going back to Tarkir here and don't get enemy Commands, I will light up Maro's inbox...
Part of the story will take place on Tarkir and deal with the history of Ugin and Bolas
Happy to see that they actually seem to commit to having a fleshed out story for the core set (though I assume it will be multiple stories that aren't necessarily connected directly - by the way the core set "story" is described.
I love the idea to focus on the Ugin/Bolas event on Tarkir a . Great scenario to use and shed some light on. I am concerned though that we get a little over-exposed of Nicol Bolas right now.
A drawback to the current way villain arcs are no longer interwoven with each other. It seems more like we get a year Eldrazi arc, an interlude that is actually directly leading into a two(?) year Bolas arc, probably followed by Phyrexia or whatever. While I was fully prepared for the Eldrazi arc to be stretched out (three titans meant three individual villains, and I felt the treatment was rushed in a sense - but not in a sense that I would have hoped to get an even longer Eldrazi arc), the Nicol Bolas arc will run longer. I kinda wish that Ixalan would have not had Vraska as Bolas's agent, so it would feel more like an actual breather.
We just doubled the number of cards for his character, and with two announced sets he's going to play once again a major role in (core set and whatever conflict RTRTR builds up to) he seems slated to get another version soon (though the Core Set version easily could be a reprint).
I feel more and more that ending the Bolas arc with HOU and following it with some time people just can't even figure out what he's doing - much less track him down for a rushed other showdown - would have been the better way to handle this. Let Bolas be an unseen thread and another villain be the enemy the Gatewatch reforms against - but with him or his agents constantly showing up there's no real sense of change.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

With them basing the story in a bloodless come with fetch lands.
This sentence - did autocorrect do that? I cannot see the original sentence underneath.
Could it be possible for them to get a reprint.
There is a little voice saying fetchlands aren't going to see reprints in Standard (any time soon/maybe "at all"). I expect the ONS/KTK fetches to follow the example of the ZEN fetches and show up in the next Modern Masters.
I thank most of what they are doing now is to drive sales. These would sale the set.
Confirmation error. There is an endless list of things that could be said to "drive sales" and fetchlands are always on this list and rarely the option chosen. And we know "part of the story" is on Tarkir. Once we get to the next plane "part of the story" takes place on there is another land cycle to add to the list. It's all premature speculation.
No one has mentioned any excitement for a possible needed reprint of Ugin, the Spirit Dragon in M19? I'm stoked about the chance.

I know, I'm pretty excited because we will likely be getting some brand new Elder dragons, since Bolas is supposedly the only surviving member of the original five from Legends at the time that Fate Reforged takes place. So it would be awesome to see some other ones -- hopefully one or more that are also planeswalkers.

If the set is back-story for Ugin and Bolas we could still get new versions of Arcades Sabboth, Chromium, Palladia-Mors, Vaevictis Asmadi. I actually want to see the Leviathan planeswalker Bolas battled with. I thought one of the Dominaria articles that showed the Talon Gates that also had some art I hadn't seen before for the Leviathan.
