I would say they actually want to sell that duel deck.

Impressed level = close to epic for me

They finally made a Planeswalker with a static ability. Interesting. Mono colored Commander decks and Wedge Block finally.

I'm interested in that ultimate for Teferi. Could create some issues. But then again, it will take a minimum of 11 turns to activate, without any ramp...

The Jeskai look like the Incredibles/Samurai Jack characters

HORRAY! morph is back! I bet I know the question on every new players mind "why don't they just print double sided cards?"

I needs the new teferi card. Oh, and woo for the new other things too, I guess.

With Terefi if you make bant super friends you can use Ajani and make the ultimate usage faster, using ramp, Ajani and the veil you can get the ultimate by at least turn 8

Tefari is stupid good.  -1?  it's only -1?

Yep. As usual. He's also probably still worse in all 3 of those formats then {Jace, the Mind Sculptor}

Wonder if they'll call the wedges by their Invasion Block names... Ceta, Necra, Raka, Dega, Ana. Or will they give them new names?

Oh my stars and garters! Morph!!! Wedges! A Gisa named card (other than {Wakedancer}! Finally an ARCANIS REPRINT!!!

The Jeskai look quite oriental and awesome! Never been into American wedge, but this could change that. What tribe do you reckon the tall lanky dude is? (I'd be lying if I said another Kamigawa hope didn't pop into my head)

I've never been a {R}{U}{G} fan either but that pic has sold me. Very Wolverine meets Nightwolf from MK.

He'd only be a 1/2, It's a card for flavor after all.

Twitter and Tumblr reported all this as it happened. All info here is correct and from Wizards directly, unless I made a typo.

Argus, you mentioned that only the first set of is wedge, does that mean the other two won't be wedge based? One or two of the sets be time travel based?

So if there is time travel, they'll reanimate the extinct dragons probably (considering {Crucible of Fire} was a thing).

Quick google search gave me this:
This got spoiled on twitter here

Teferi, Temporal Archmage 4UU
+1 Look at the top two cards of your library put one into your hand and the other on the bottom of your library.
-1 Untap up to 4 target permanents.
-10 You get an emblem that says you can use the activated abilities of planeswalkers you control on any turn at any time you could use an instant.
You may use Teferi as your commander.

Here is the SDCC Magic Panel video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8S3_oYCnBak#t=148

The video is kind of quite, just a heads up.
