I like that speculation. Since the first set details were announced I thought Ugin. I figure more.then just the Jeskai would worship Ugin, or they might not even know about him, but I hope they do go back in time and find him. And we can get a colorless planeswalker with direct damage for our EDH decks.

Still hoping to someday get my Orzhov {Borderpost}

Do you think we'll have dual functionality planes walkers? Like for mardu have it like 2R(B/W)? Or would the functionality be too powerful?

Are meaning with Hybrid Mana? Because that's a cool idea (if anything just because I like the way hybrid looks)!

yup! Something that wouldn't restrict the decks that you could use your walkers in.

Idk about a PW like that but for sure there'll be split costs like that. We saw them in Alara ({Trace of Abundance} for example)

This is probably completely off base, but what about triple hybrid mana?  Mana you could pay for with any of three colors instead of two.  Or would that be too powerful?

Potentially too powerful bc that means that the affect needs to fit into all 3 colours. If not one colour gets a spell that it can easily cast that it shouldn't have access to

What are your suggestions for the Charms?
I think this:
mardu charm
R/W/B
choose one: Destroy target artifact,destroy target enchantment or destroy nonblack creature
Is that triple hybrid or {R}{W}{B}? If it's hybrid, each color isn't supposed to have access to the other's destruction.

never hybrid. No chance at all. I'm talking WBR, sorry bout that. I mean for a 3 CMC card, that's a possibility.
Sure. That's very likely. Each of those colors has a 2 CMC version of those.
{Disenchant}, {Shatter}, and {Doom Blade} with an added cost for flexibility. I like it.

I thought I read Mark Rosewater mention the reason they haven't done 3 color mana is because it's hard to justify why it shouldn't just be the mana symbols instead. In other words, why not just make it {1}{U}{W}{B} instead of {1} -tricolor hybrid- ect.

3 color hybrid takes away from of the draw backs of whatever card it is, you could just slide it into 3/5ths of the decks you can make. Might as well not even have colored mana at that point.

I dunno. I kind of agree. Besides, how much room is there for enemy colors to even share keywords?

Allied pairs share some stuff. Enemy's hardly have any overlapping keywords. {U}{R}{W} share Flying. I think that's about it for enemy colors sharing evergreen keywords.

Imma go out on a limb and say that wedge set and fetch lands may work. We got a partial painland reprint in enemy colors and the zen fetch lands are enemy too.

Read an article on SCG speculating that we'll get uncommon tapped tri-lands in Khans. Seems reasonable.
So things like {Crumbling Necropolis}
Wonder if they'll do something like
Wedge colored Panoramas?

Aladormax

Ooh wedge panoramas and tri lands would be awesome!! I want this for EDH so much.
