While this might just be coincidence, I've noticed that all the past YMTC cards have all tied into the theme of the block they released in. Forgotten Ancient, a creature, was released in a tribal block. Crucible of Worlds, similarly, was released during an artifact block. Vanish Into Memory seemed like it was forced into multicolor, and juuust missed the cutoff to be put into Dissension due to timing issues.
Bets on us getting a sneak peak at a future block through the development of this card?
I would like this set to have a mini legendary theme, one new legend for each guild, one for each enemy wedge color combination and some 5 mana color ones.
There have been strong hints that the guild champion from each of the ten guilds will appear in DGM. Enemy wedges won't happen. Four color legendary Nephilim is a bit wishful but isn't baseless speculation. Doubt there'll be any five-color legends; 10-15 legends in a small set is already a lot.
While nothing says all the prerelease promos have to be creatures, they do tend to skew towards Timmy. I don't really get that feeling from a lot of these cards. RTR also showed that the promos don't have to actually contain the guild mechanic.
Will the tokens produced by Hero of Bladehold trigger Batallion? Seems like it shouldnt since the tokens never transitioned from unattacking to attacking.

It's from the column dealing with Limited, and oh what a good Limited card it is...

I still don't think Fathom Mage is sufficiently Timmy enough to be a promo, but I'm willing to be proven wrong.

Seriously, I have no idea how to interpret the set title. Doesn't sound post-apocalyptic or like a "resolution" or anything at all.
EDIT: The set symbol is the RTR symbol underneath the GTC symbol. Uhh... okay.
