I missed it, can't wait to catch a clip on YouTube.
That's just how MaRo is. It's funny.
He has so much energy bundled in a small package and comes across as being so enthusiastic.
Maybe tribal is returning? Tribal with a focus on "classes" instead of races? Set does seem an awful lot like the world of Odyssey/Scourge from the little we've seen. Barbarians in a harsh environment with the inevitable promise of a dragon centric set? Guess the Mongolian theming will differentiate it.
Just spitballing. I'm more excited for this set than I have been for any in a while. Really ready for a return to bottom up design. Never was the biggest top down fan and it's results of late have been especially subpar.

I didn't say they would all die, I meant as in a big war, where they could kill everyone, like in New Phyrexia.
1 set: dragon less world, but something's not right.
2 set: dragon are back!
3 set: War against dragons! Dragons wins! (or lose)
The Scars of Mirrodin scenario.
Tribal is dead. Too much upkeep outside of blocks where it's relevant for too little reward.
Haha, it's funny because I was thinking of that post of yours in particular during the reveal segment.

Yeah, no doubt. He seems like a great guy. Love his podcast, even if he can't stay on one subject for like, 30 seconds. I love how he started casts on the color pie, then sort of meandered into other 9 part podcasts.
They used to have the crowds close enough where you could hear them and they were very disruptive.

Dragons as steeds. The rider gets "enchanted" onto the dragon giving it a stat boost. When the dragon dies, the rider falls off still on the battlefield. Just how enchantment creatures work. lulz
This dragon talk reminds me of the disappointment of the lack of dragons in.... Dragon's Maze.

Sorry, should have clarified- a tribal focus, not the actual keyword. (different Clans functioning as different tribes)

lol. (We can hope)
He said something we've been asking for but they've never done in Magic.

Honestly, what has the community been asking for that isn't about lands? Well, except Eldrazi and it's too soon for them to be back.

Eh, there's been like five years since the Eldrazi, that's a decent span. I don't think it will be Eldrazi though because this is so clearly the dragon set
...I've got no idea.

Hmm...
No ad cards in the pack.
No basic lands in the pack.

Maybe on like the third attempt they've gotten "evolving" cards right?
Although, even with apparently mixed reception, I still thought Level Up was a really cool mechanic.

WHAT?? Where does it say that?

I'm just guessing based on the Judge art and the fact that I can't think of something else that people have been asking for that fits.
kirbs is just hating, as per the usus
I'm not hating, I'm asking why you would print expensive full art promos only to devalue them months later by printing full art lands again.
They don't do this with Judge stuff on purpose.

It could be a wedge block, people have been frothing at the mouth for that for a while. Doesn't really seem to fit with the, admittedly two, pieces of art we've seen so far
EDIT: no wait, they wouldn't do multicolor two years after RTR. They said they learned their lesson with Alara

Also, gold is a "we can use it whenever thing" in small doses now.

Just joking, mate.
But judge promos can be foiled, signed versions sent out ahead of time. That's still pretty neat, and they can be promos for like, level 1s or something.
Think outside the box!

Probably more double-faced cards. Maro says that people love that bullshit and there's a ton of untapped design space and blah blah blah.

Check out the Pro Tour to see what Magic looks like sans counter magic.
Spoiler: It's dumb as hell

~definitely lots of dragons~
if they're all dead 4real i quit magic 
Seriously though, little dragons -- dragon tribal especially -- would be the best.

I keep having whacky ideas.
Dragons are dead on that plane but the PW returns with a portal to bring them from other planes. The twist is you can play cards with the dragon creature type from previous sets.

Haha this would be beyond incredible.
Time Spiral-esque Timeshifted cards in boosters, but they're all Dragons.
Given that they explicitly had to change collation methods to make this block work, this could be it (a shared sheet that all 3 sets use.)
Those fourth edition basics are truly a thorn in the eye. At least use Urza's if you like text.

In Hearthstone, they actually trade.
True that.
I'm glad Chapin won, he finally got his dues Plus we don't want another Pro Tour where the winner would just go down in history as "the dude that wasn't Chapin" (no disrespect to Wook).
The bit at the end with Elspeth was a bit awkward but Sprankle is def a God-Tier cosplayer I wonder who her go to character will be now that

Elspeth is dead
Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I give it a 5% chance that Elspeth doesn't just come back to life through tomfoolery.
Would be a little bit of a visual fail but it'd be better than having different versions of lands within the playset.
