I've heard it said that the Wizards of the Coast have it in their long-term five year plan to release what may as well be referred to as a wedge-themed version of the Alaran Block.
For those who have no idea what a wedge is, here you go...
Dega - {R}{W}{B}
Raka - {R}{W}{U}
Ana - {B}{U}{G}
Necra - {W}{B}{G}
Ceta - {R}{U}{G}
My question is what do you think the Legendaries will be like? Will they reprint/revamp the wedge Commanders? Or create all new ones?
What about Planeswalkers?
What about the blocks villain?
What mechanics will each wedge have?
Invasion block had something going with wedges (that's where the names come from), but it wasn't really developed as the mana at the time was extremely rough and painful...
Invasion block, huh? Might look into it.
What do you reckon will happen in the future block, though? The Shards have their mechanics; what about the Wedges?
Yup. It was very very roughly designed.
A wedge Alara is badly needed, IMO. Not only was Alara one if my favorite sets and is loaded with extremely fun gameplay, but the wedges DESPERATELY need more legendaries and commander options. I'm sick of Kaalia for {R}{W}{B}! Theres nothing but {Ghave, Guru of Spores} and {Karador, Ghost Chieftan} for junk! Need more choices!

Gorzo summarizes my thoughts regarding EDH commanders ITT. Would love to see an awesome BUG or junk commander
{Doran, the siege tower} is kinda cool, but I agree.

I third this. We need a Wedge block SO badly.
It is very much needed...not just for edh...it would be nice to see some wedge colored kill cards or exile spells.
I'd love to see some decent cards that could finally make Junk Midrange a competitor in Modern. Right now it is optimistically tier 2, but if it got some nice cards to glue the deck together, I think it could be tier 1.

Don't you mean Necra?
I'd run Ana or necra. Love the mixes. Any truth to a wedge block in our future?

Lol. Yeah. Necra... Can't see the colors lol
YAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOO!
I don't know if there's any truth to the rumor, but the guys who run the store I go to are incredibly well-informed, so I put some stock in what they have to say.
Raja will have something like Diplomacy- Whenever an opponent casts a spell that targets you, you may have that player gain 3 life or put 3 1/1 white soldier tokens on the battlefield. If you do, that player can't attack you for the next 3 turns.
That's a great one! Little broken, but amazing nonetheless!
I'd personally like to see Kaalia revamped so she wasn't so squishy. Not necessarily a harder hitter, but definitely higher toughness. And maybe a new spin on her ability displaying a growth in power.
Kaalia Untethered
{5}{R}{W}{B}
Legendary Creature - Human Cleric
Flying, haste.
Whenever Kaalia Untethered attacks or blocks, you may put an Angel, Demon or Dragon creature onto the battlefield attacking or blocking the same creature. Attacking creatures summoned this way enter tapped.
3/6

Well... At least the mana cost is higher

What about 1/4 she's {2}{b}{w}{r} it could be any creature type but u take damage by mana cost or something
Because its Kaalia. Her flavour is Angels, Demons and Dragons. It makes no sense for her to be able to accelerate a Zombie or a Human out onto the field.
