Hey everyone, welcome back to the wonderful world of speculation. Today we are covering New Capenna, and more specifically the Commander Decks. We now know a little bit of info on each of the factions in New Capenna, as well as have a good idea of what maybe their strategies will be. In an effort to dig deeper, I am going to begin some speculation on the decks, focusing mainly on reprints I could see make each list. I am also going to be suggesting some odd cards we have yet to see reprinted!
Obscura WUB - Named ‘Obscura Operation’, it’s a deck targeted at “players who love strategizing and saving their big reveals for later in the match”. Can you say ‘counterspell’? It sounds like a control deck that aims to make games go long. It also seems a fair bit of hand disruption and scrying may feature, as the Obscura faction is all about surveillance. Could the ‘Surveil’ keyword finally make a comeback? With a sphinx as their leader, I could see sphinx's being a big part of the deck, as they often have a lot of abilities that tie into mysteries and knowledge. I imagine this deck will have a lot of control elements, as well as maybe cards that steal your opponents stuff. Some ideas for reprints:
Riveteers BRG - After that, we’ve got ‘Riveteers Rampage’. It sounds like the opposite of the Obscura deck, as it’s for “players who prioritize high-speed, hard-hitting attacks”. Sounds pretty simple – we can assume it’s an aggro deck full of big, hasty creatures. If I had to guess, I imagine there will be a lot of cards in here that bust your opponents stuff. The Riveteers are the demolition crew, or deconstructors. They also seem like they would love cards that let your creatures fight! My predictions:
If you’re referring to Lord Gyor’s comment on knowing the face commander I believe he is basing it off of the side characters from the online stories released.

Embrace the dark you call a home,
Gaze upon an empty, white throne
A legacy of lies,
A familiar disguise
Sing with me a song of conquest and fate
The black pillar cracks beneath its weight
Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone
Lost in thoughts all alone

I think we know the Commanders of these decks except the Riveteers, for example I think Kitt Kanto is the face Commander of Caberatti.
