Comic-Con is always the info dump for the fall set. I'm expecting plot and art spoilers though rather than actual cards given the precedent of previous years. It could play out differently this year though.

I expect nothing more or less than tribal. It seems to be popular for some reason.
I guess? But he just beat BG so whatever.

My guess is that the live bloggers are faster at updates than me on my phone.
MaRo's stated that a full-on tribal block in the future is unlikely. They like using it as a subtheme or a major theme, but it creates issues where drafting and constructed decks go "on-rails" because of it.
BG is soft to affinity. Jund is not. (This is why you don't bring BG to GPs.)

Anyone have a link to a decent live blog for the panel?

They're liveblogging it on Twitter apparently, @wizards_magic

Well, I hope so. Tribal bores me to tears.
I don't think it's going to be full-on multicolor. It's too soon.

We don't need pics, but a different perspective on the stuff would be welcome if you wanna keep posting

I really don't think they'd blow their wedge load on just half of a block, especially when they say it is their most requested block theme.

First topic is Annihilation.
Looks like the spoiler we saw was accurate.
Now talking about Speed v. Cunning. Will have a Khan of Tarkir which is an Orc! Zurgo Helmsmasher! Opponent is Arcanis the Onmipotent.

I see no colors. It's blocked out.

Teferi planeswalker card confirmed. Can be your commander.

You know, at first I was down on the wedge idea because I'm not a huge fan of alara and we're so soon off of Ravnica...but what if they found a way to do a multicolor block without such a high quantity of multicolor cards? That would be cool.
The Technomancer

Called the mono-color Commander decks btw. I'm actually excited about that
A multicolor block without a lot of multicolor cards? What's the point? Unless you mean like a lot of mono-color cards with off color activations or kicker? But then you still have to contort your manabase.

HOLY SHIT!!!!!
That is one badass art of Arcanis.
What?
I loved Shards of Alara, so no complaints here.

More like...strong thematic and mechanical identities running in three color combinations.

Talking about Khans now. Time travel block.

Wait, what? As in, its just back when Sarkhan wasn't cuckoo? Or more fundamentally about time travel?

Time travel makes me think blue will be really strong and that makes me sad.

Not actually a wedge block. Just Khans is wedge.

That probably makes sense given that the main problem with Alara was how stretched the three color design space felt by the end of it

First three Khans are women, btw.
That's pretty awesome.
