YEah they are doing an M19 limited review...I mean, I am willing to put off seeing a movie for a few minutes, but if nothing comes out in 10 minutes, I am out.

The "Crazy One", playing casual magic and occasionally dipping his toes into regular play since 1994.
Currently focusing on Pre-Modern (Mono-Black Discard Control) and Modern (Azorious Control, Temur Rhinos).
Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.
4 decks all awesome
blue-red (no pattern to the colors this year) Exquisite Invention. Artifacts and lege
Natures vengeance. Black red green. All about lands.
Blue white Green. Adaptive Enchantment. Enchantments.
White Blue Black. Subjective Reality. Top of your deck matters. (Could be a Djinn of Wishes in there)
I think it is safe to say that the spider is in the Jund land deck, just look at its colors.
Swamp girl honestly looks like it would go into the land deck too, considering how much emphasis the swamp has.
The Knight is really the only one I could try to put into the Artifact deck, but I wouldn't be surprised it if wasn't.
Considering the amount of ground present for the Zombies, I would say land once again, but Perception would be my second placement, enchantments third.
The Enchantress goes in the enchantment deck. No surprise there.
I would be surprised if the human wasn't in Subjective Reality, but if it isn't, it is hard to tell where (no bets on it going into Jund) it would go.
What a waste of time. I think WotC just convinced me not to buy any M19 OR C18 with that train wreck.
Seriously, they call this the "Era of Feedback" while they delete chat messages because they mention a desire to see C18 stuff instead of stupid M19 crap. They clearly have no clue how to handle feedback that isn't unconditional praise.
And the art here is extremely disappointing. They might have shown us the art of six random commons from M19 for how much we can speculate about them. Sure, we got maybe one piece of cool planeswalker art, but it's not any recognizable character, so there's no reason to get at all excited.
Well, this was a let down. I mean, I'm sure the decks will be fun and all, but as far as spoilers go this wasn't particularly exciting.
It is so much more exciting than last year though. Doesn't pale in comparison to when we were given full card reveals, but still so much better than last year.
I am not dissapointed at all since we already knew we wouldn't be getting actual cards until monday.
The color combinations and themes look super promising. Especially top of library matters and lands are not strategies you see every day. I don't actually think I have ever seen a top of library Esper deck, which makes me very intrigued to see what they have come up with for this one.
Personally, I was really hoping for Sultai and Jeskai legends. As it is, even though I am liking the themes and colors very much, they are just a tiny bit off the mark for me personally. I already have Bant, Jund and Esper decks that I really like, and would much rather build decks in color combinations that I do not already have. I also already have an enchantress deck (in Abzan colors). I am looking forward to finding out if anything in the Esper or Jund decks tickles my fancy and makes me want to get and tune the deck.

Still convinced the guy on Beseech the Queen is wearing a Mitra-type hat. Wake up sheeple!
I was looking forward to this for a week now and i'm really dissapointed.
Themes are cool, but wtf is with that art? You can't hype or speculate about some random artwork with no context. When you promise planeswalkers, spoil the art of one recognisable character to build hype. I can't speculate about random Innistrad zombie or Giant spider v3.0..

So do any of these themes translate to the Planeswalkers that people want to see??
I does not seem so.........
Izzet - Saheeli?
Jund - ? Windgrace
Bant - ?? Serra
Esper - ??
Are people doing to be dissapointed??

Been a member here for over a dozen years. Playing since '95 just got lost in the twitch shuffle.
I don't know, most of them don't feel like the commanders
The zombie thing? Makes sense only in esper, no way it's esper, however
The mask girl? Looks a lot jeskai or temur... make sense only as the bant enchantress, i don't think she will be the bant enchantress
I hope the spider and girl from theros are the legends, though
I agree with the zombie.
I'm calling Mask girl is in the Esper deck, but I don't think they're from Tarkir. The spider I reckon is from Jund.
Well this reveal was disappointing. They did it better for C14 when Teferi was spoiled earily should have spoiled Windgrace At least.
Also I think the ESPER theme is bad, limiting and will either suck or be super broken but mostly it doesn't fit. It should be Graveyards in my book to go with Lands, Enchantments and Artifacts. It also would tie Innistrad Zombies and Amonkhet Zombies together better.
I think people will be happy at more hopefully more inventive options for UR Artifice Commanders then Jhoira. Not that new Jhoira is bad she is just rather generically good. And people will be happy for long awaited BANT Enchantress Commander(s).
As for the face walkers, Windgrace seems pretty confirmed from the Art Book. Saheeli background for the poster art was Kaladesh so also seems likely. BANT though yeah having a BANT Serra before Mono White just seems weird to me. You could say Tamiyo put her poster art clearly has Ravnica in the background which seems an odd choice for a Commander Deck card. ESPER, I am with you who knows.
Rolled my eyes at yet another Spider. I seriously hope they're not passing off that blue mask lady as a Kamigawa card. No recognizable legends. I do love the Theros artwork, although would be nice to see men on enchantment-matters cards for a change. All the others have been enchantresses. Still, that Theros nymph (?) looking UW enchantment creature lady has some gorgeous art. It's the only thing I got excited about.
Overall, I am more worried than excited.
- No recognizable past Legends finally getting a card
- No clear Kamigawa cards
- BANT may mean we don't get a Mono-White Serra
- Shoe-horning the cards with rigid mechanical themes limits which past Legends we can get as cards
- More Izzet Artifacts, Zombies, Spiders suggests to me being rather out of touch. Is the Spider crowd REALLY all that prominent to warrant ANOTHER Legend in place of others people have been crying out for? How many freaking Zombie cards have we gotten in the last 5 years alone? And while an Izzet Artifacts Legend other than Jhoira is welcome, limiting the whole deck to that theme seems awful considering how broken artifacts are in EDH. Wasn't Breya just last year too?
- If I see any more women in classically male military positions, I may hurl. We got one male in the art, and he's a dead, dumb zombie. Wow.
- No face cards revealed
Deck 1 Izzet Exquisite Inventions Artifacts
Deck 2 Jund Nature's Vengeance Lands
Deck 3 Bant Adaptive Enchantment Enchantments
Deck 4 Esper Subjective Reality Top Card of your deck matters
Any time now, WotC...
It is going to be released on stream (after they evaluate M19 limited) https://www.twitch.tv/magic
I would assume its probably like 5 min out but I am not familiar with this stream.

EDIT: Oh, card type themed... artifact, land, enchantment... and top card of library?!? That was a twist.

Concerning when returning to Kamigawa would be acceptable
