One possibility is always the idea of a cycle of "lesser" legends that aren't able to command the main deck without excluding a bunch of cards. (So, basically cards like Wasitora, Nekoru Queen or Nin, the Pain Artist.) Basically, let's say the GW deck has Serra, the WU deck has a blue walker, the UB deck has a black walker (maybe Sifa?), etc. I only put Serra in the GW deck because angels are expensive; she could be in the WU deck just as well.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

hmm, well given that they are walker, i will probably be buy one of each anyway. i really like walkers. but i dunno, i did not get the black walker (Can't even remember who it was) and while i did not buy the green deck i did grab a copy of freyalise.
I will probably do mu usual, "Buy said deck" and then grab singles from the others. (I bough the vamp deck for one card only and that was Teferi's protection, but it was cheaper to do that as well. Protection was selling for more than the deck.)
I really don't think they will do ally colors though. Enemy colors works as they do have the Kenrithtwins already, so a cycle of enemy colors excluding RU would work. There is no justification to do only four ally guilds.
There's nothing suggesting only four. What would suggest allied pairs is that they never did allied pairs.

Daretti was the only new character introduced in the last PW set, right? We had backstories, etc. on everyone else, I think?
Yep that si correct. Teferi, Freyalise, And Nahiri already had very important roles (And then you had Ob, who was not exactly huge in the stories, but he did have a story.
ppl can be good friends without being in a relationship!
Indeed, which more people need to realize.
Jace and Vraska do have good chemistry together, though, and there was some implied romance. It doesn't need to turn into anything sexual. The other poster specifically mentioned having a child together, though, and Liliana is a terrible person to be in any sort of relationship with, be it sexual, romantic, or platonic.
Also, on the subject of people who make really cute friends, Huatli and Saheeli are certainly up there.

True Lili is a horrible person to be in a relationship with, however she and Jace have had one that was sexual, and in the long run, he has just as bad as her (I think she rubbed off on him) I mean come on, they were on a date and he outright went to help Gideon even though Gideon had interrupted them. Jace would have stayed if lili had just asked him to but she could not. While Lili is a horrible person, i think the only person she cares about is Jace.
also with ravniica, I bet with Jace missing right now Ravnica will be in turmoil.
PW with partner with only a certain color or tribe! Like Mono W serra partner with Red or Blue partners!
Thanks to rowan and will i doubt there will not anything that does not say "Partner with X" Mainly du eto not wanting players to be able to partner a PW with a creature from c16. Say you wnat to play the black PW, well that is fine but you are lacking the ability to get its ult off due to how much it costs and its so good you get aggroed hard. Black is not great at pillowfort. So you partner it with Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa Now not only do you have access to Doubling Season but you also have pillowfort options like Sphere of Safety
Thus I do not think they will just have partner. They will probably have "Partner's with" but that is it.
I have no idea what to expect other than what we have been told, nor do I care to speculate much either, as it is fruitless.
I just hope that this set continues the trend of interesting decks worth collecting and playing.

"Whatever style you wish to play, be it fast and frenzied or slow and tactical, the surest way to defeat your opponent consistently is by dominating him or her in the war of card advantage." - Brian Wiseman, April 1996
The commander set Maguses have been based on sorceries. When it comes to iconic white sorceries, there's not a huge amount of options. Armageddon is disliked by a decent chunk of the playerbase, Balance has a similar problem and might be pushing powerlevel wise it unless it had a high cost, so my guess is the good old Wrath of God. I didn't see last years one coming though, so we might get something less obvious.
Tariff? I thought about Replenish, but the naming convention doesn't lend itself too well to this cycle. Planar Cleansing might be too big of an effect. Cataclysm? Hallowed Burial? Seems like they wouldn't give us instant-speed wraths (so maybe they have the "only play when you can a play a sorcery" wording). OR maybe they do give us an instant-speed, hard-to-counter wrath, with the "drawback" of summoning sickness.
Daretti was the only new character introduced in the last PW set, right? We had backstories, etc. on everyone else, I think?
We didn't know Nahiri's name at the time, AFAIK. We knew that a lithomancer planeswalker helped to seal the Eldrazi the first time, but next to nothing about them beyond that.

I thought we knew the name, just not that She was stoneforge mystic.

you have made me worry quite a bit actually. I can see them printing 4 decks, each one being enemy guilds excluding Izzet since we just got that.

four 100 card decks.
that is why i do not think they will do ally colors. with only four decks they can not do a full cycle.

I really wish we could go back to llorwyn or Kamigawa, Ravnica is boring now.
(only thing i would be okay with going back to Ravnica is if Jace and Lili get back together. I WANT THEM TO HAVE A CHILD TOGETHER!)

Now, Jace and Vraska having a child together would be interesting...
I don't feel tehy are in a romantic relationship. I feel it is more of a friendship rathe rthan what Jace had with lili.

They have a date at a book shop scheduled after taking down Bolas. Romance is definitely sparking between the two.

Vraska and jace have not... although, that would probably be very kinky.
