My guess would be no duals on this set since I anticipate new duals in M15 and find it unlikely they'd give us 3 rare dual land cycles at the same time.

As an aside, although I know where it comes from, I don't know anyone else anywhere that uses the -volver names to talk about the wedges other than people on this forum. Is it like a regional thing? I know SCG never uses them but doesn't mean it's not a local thing. Just curious.

Now, one a speculation note: Khan was originally used a title. Perhaps Sarkhan Vol's real name is Sar Vol and Khan was added on when he became a general? In this case, maybe we are exploring his past in this set, before he ascended?

Some of the best historical speculation I've seen in a while, well played my friend, +1
Not so sure about that. This was from the bottom of the page in the above link.

The word "šarkan", pronounced |sharkhan|, means "dragon" in Slovak language.

Sarkhan, as Mark Rosewater said in the spoiler of the set's name today, worshipped dragons. I think his name was always Sarkhan.

That's why it is speculation. We won't know until Wizards decide what they want to tell us and not tell us. Besides, they have taken creative license with prior blocks...

We had that many duel lands during the times of Innistrad and RTR

If it is Wedge color I'd need Ana support cards... Unfortunately this appears as a tribal block, I'd love something like this


Syphon Reality   {X}{X}{U}{B} or {X}{U}{U}{B}{B}

Instant

Syphon Reality cannot be countered.

You draw X cards and target opponent discards X cards
