Though the cards that punish aggro would have to be themselves aggressively costed to keep up with them. Although I think slightly above the curve would work just fine

Since I rarely buy cards anymore, I don't really have hopes for it (other than the possibility it will get me back into the game), but I do have an expectation. Titans! I'd be pretty surprised to see a Greek themed set without some sort of Titan card(s).
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TITANS!!!!

If only {isperea, supreme judge} was like 4 or even 5 CMC she would be a bomb against aggro :/

Yes, but they decided that would happen.

they could have lowered the cost by one, and lowered her power by 2 or something. It seems there giving the shaft to control players. It's like it's, go aggro or go home. I'm not saying they should get rid of aggro, just that they should at least give control a chance against it. This coming from someone who is currently running the two most aggressive colors. Ok, I'm done with my rants for now

I am calling it now. Onslaught Fetch reprints. I hear from a reliable source that MaRo said they are not including duals in the next core set. With the enemy checks rotating and a lack of checks in the core set, we could see a reprint of Onslaught fetches. That would lower the price for Legacy, give Standard a few more duals, and help fix the Mana and accessibility of fetches for Modern.  Or maybe they wont just because that would be too cool. I can hope right?

The allied fetch lands. {Polluted Delta} and {Wooded Foothills} are two examples.

One last thing. I just remembered, R&D has complete control over cards. If the veto one, no questions asked, its back to the drawing board

I think mono-coloured stresses. We have so much multicoloured/hybrid cards in RtR and I know that Wizards doesn't like two consecutive sets being so similar. It will be an interesting set, to say the least, considering the last real-mythology based set was Kamigawa, and we all know how much people hated playing that set!

They hated it because R&D nerfed it to heck and vetoed all the good cards I think

I just want it to be better than the RtR block :-\

Only a few cards will live through rotation, and the block royally screwed standard.  But, that's another discussion that has been stressed already.  I'd love to see some Onslaught fetches!  I wasn't playing then, so I don't have any and I really don't want to shell out the money for 'em.  I'd love to be able to pull them in a standard booster.
