Sadly, many dino decks are more than likely going to be the same until Explorers of Ixalan (possible reprints), and Rivals of Ixalan (new dinos) come out.
On the one hand, I'm thrilled that GU Merfolk now has enough cards from both colors to actually be a thing. On the other, it's probably way too recent for MvG to make use of them, so instead of a sweet GU Deck helmed by Prime Speaker Zegana or Tishana, Voice of Thunder, we're probably going to get a WU Merfolk deck lead by Sygg, River Guide. No offense, but Sygg has islandwalk which will only matter if the deck includes Spreading Seas, Streambed Aquitects, and the like, as well as a protection ability which could prove to be rather unfun (he really should have had an untapping ability to play with the Merrows' tap theme). And while I can appreciate the thematic playoff between two Lorwyn legends, Wort, Boggart Auntie's Fear ability essentially makes her unblockable against the likely not part black or red Merfolk, though Goblin recursion is fun.
However, nothing says they have to be the face cards for the decks. Krenko, Mob Boss would work great as a Goblin face card.
It isn't usually a good idea to buy things spontaneously based on hype and incomplete information. Every Masters set has people hyped to the high heavens when the initial spoilers come out and then relatively disappointed when the full set is known.
Sigh, thou art correct...
That being said, I am going to be buying a ton of singles already as it is! lol
This is exactly how I am feeling about this set currently. Any Ixalan spoilers is on the back burner in my mind. I can't take all this excitement. My head is going to explode.
I'd love to see a Krenko, Mob Boss vs Prime Speaker Zegana. I think that would fit flavor-fully too as they are both from Ravnica.
That card was confirmed. Please rejoice at your earliest convenience.
That is awesome!
High res versions should be available on Monday.

I am amazed that you don't already.
