If you follow MagicSpoiler.com, they have section in their spoilers list, called Khans of Tarkir. This by itself is not all that interesting, but there are two pictures featured on this page, along with scheduled release data. The first picture, at a glance, makes me think of the blue/grey-skinned Keldon warriors of Dominaria. The second pic is a bit more exciting and interesting to me:

This picture, to me, looks like Sarkhan Vol. The hair length, goatee, and the staff, added to the flaming eyes, makes me think our once-mad dragon-walker is coming back.

Mark Rosewater confirmed that it's him and that Tarkir is his home plane.



I'm REALLY looking forward to this set. Flavour wise it looks sweet too; getting to command a Mongol horde... Also Sarkhan is one of my favourite walkers, BOTH of his PW cards are mad good.

I am not too impressed with the elephant. So many untap on other turn effects, adding one that depends on +1/+1 counters doesn't seem that amazing.

The Soundclaw(?) Mystic however looks interesting. Playing that one back and forth in my brain, looking for the infinite combo.

Well, the newly spoiled pain-fetches just put me off Tarkir. I was really enjoying not seeing those things among a wide list of other annoyances by playing modern format.

I am now at an juncture with my Polluted Delta. Last month it was worth $100. Now... around $50. That's dwindling. I don't see the price going back UP anytime soon.

On a merrier side note, I think Throne of Tarkir will go high. Token decks will love it, because it just needs a 3/3 to make it devastating. If M14 was still around standard, I'd say blue would be using it more, but currently it looks like white will be using it the most, at least in the prerelease.

I believe the ultimate clone has now been announced:

Phyrexian Metamorph had the title for a while, being able to copy creatures OR artifacts, but this bugger can even copy an enchantment, or perhaps more impressive thanks to the current rules, a planeswalker.

Ya copy enchantment is huge. I can even see this in EDH copying an Omniscience someone cheated out lol.

So...I already know that I am too broke to go to the prerelease, but I've decided on Sultai. Their Ascendancy feeds delve and Murderous Cut... 4B Murder with delve? Amazing. Also their charm is the best, hands down.

So Tomb of the Spirit Dragon can have you gain 1 life for each colorless creature you control.
There are no colorless creature cards in this set.
The spirit dragon is a name for Ugin.
Eye of Ugin (card) dealt with the Eldrazi.
I'm now expecting Eldrazi in this expansion.

Wrong! Morph creatures and witness of the ages!

*Slaps Forehead*
Morph creatures. Of course. Dammit all. I got really, really excited.
I was really hoping that the next expansion would be Planeswalkers vs. Eldrazi vs. Phyrexia...annihilator and infect...

They are going super heavy with the foreshadowing on Ugin. I'm guessing this set will maybe be a segue into a return to Zendikar type block with the fight against the eldrazi. It sounds like Sarkhan got his mind back from Ugin's ghost and might carry out his will to re-seal the eldrazi and probably get revenge on Bolas for killing Ugin/making Sarkhan crazy.
