Spoiler season for Zendikar Rising hasn't begun yet buy we got this sneak peak. Happy too see that we'll get some decent creature lands in this set, at the very least one.
Yeah I think this is some interesting design-space. Hopefully they explore this in some color-costed lands aswell!
Yeah maybe. We had 10 multicolored manlands over the course of the last two Zendikar blocks. Maybe it is time for new monocolored manlands. They would only take up 5 slots and it would leave plenty of space left for the mandatory Evolving Wilds (Or maybe Terramorphic Expanse now that we also get variants of that one again.) And it would leave space foe the six dual lands.

This is a rare, I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you. Usually, cycles don't include 6 lands (though of course there are a very small number of exceptions).
Looks like Dredge got a new toy...
How does this help dredge?
It's just a stupid phrase I've seen repeated at least on mythicspoilers,and now apparently here : )

Nahiri is one "and/or" on the second ability short of being great, and Jace is pretty cool!
Nahiri is making me want to do a Balduvian Trading Post about equipments...

That jace has so much text on it to basically winds up being beleran all over again
why is jace grinning so maniacally? did he go nuts somewhere in the story that i didn’t hear about?
Someone pointed out that his 0 ability is the same as Sarkhan the Mad's, so maybe there is something about him losing his sanity in the lore.
He's a *lot* more decision dense than Beleren. OG Jace you just downtick, downtick, uptick, downtick forever. This guy has so many decision points and flexibility. He's probably on the low end of the Jace scale for raw power level, but flexibility is power all on its own. I dig it.
I like new Nahiri more than old Nahiri specifically because I want to test Najeela, the Blade-Blossom and Winota. I hope they add some good equipment to go with her.
Also the set numbers confirm that Nissa is going to be multicolored (rumored to be golgari) this time around.

You take a lot more game actions for the same effect is what I'm saying
Also check out the best fake:
Bring back Elf Supremacist Nissa. Make Magic Great Again.

That Nissa is more clever than I thought at first glance. What a way to comment on WotC's story choices.
We have the MaRo game again!!
Unfortunately, I'm not actually sure what any of these could be. The fact that "Horror" ended up being a subtype of multiple creatures could indicate a Horrors sub theme in this set. Nahiri seems to indicate that there is a Warrior tribal theme in this set. Perhaps there will be a Horrors VS. Warriors conflict at the center of Zendikar Rising.
There is actually one clue which I think I have a pretty solid idea for:
As this collector booster indicates, Omnath seems to have acquired a 4th color following the events of -Whatever the story of M20 was supposed to be- This means that Mr. Nath would have
as a mana cost. It has been confirmed Omnath will be 4 color, by the way. It would make sense to give commander players a Non-Group Hug 4-color commander, as Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis really only work if you're ok with giving stuff to your opponents as well.
Of course, there's also the possibility that Mr. Rosewater was referring to Generic mana symbols. However, {12} is the only mana symbol to appear in the cost of exactly 2 cards. All other costs appear on more than 2 cards or exactly 1 card. In the end, I think the most likely candidate for this clue is Omnath. I'd love to be proven wrong here- Two-brid is an awesome mechanic and I hope it sees a return some day!

Some people have speculated that this is the return of Two-Brid mana. I, however, think that what mark wrote should actually be interpreted as "The return of four mana symbols that have each only ever been used on two cards together before." This would explain why there are only 4 mana symbols represented here instead of 5. Each 4-color combination only has two cards to their name. So, this could mean that MaRo's hint refers to a 4-color card being in Zendikar Rising. But why would there only be one 4-color card, one may ask. Well, the answer is quite simple. It's the new Omnath!!MaRo said:
