Yes! Ever since the highly successful Shards of Alara expansion players have been clamoring for “Wedges”. For those of you who are just joining us, a wedge is the combination of a color and its two enemies, so the “Red” wedge would be Red + Blue + White.

Each wedge will be represented by a clan with its own mechanic. Each clan represents some aspect of dragons that they are into…

I’m really digging all the Chinese, Mongolian and other Asian motifs thrown in here. I also think it’s funny that this world seems to be split along the lines of the sorts of conversations I used to have with my friends in middle school.

“Dragons are awesome because they breathe fire!”

“Nah-uh, they’re awesome cuz they fly!”

(Alison) One more thing! Curious about mechanics? We’re happy to announce the return of MORPH! #MTGSDCC

Morph is a super-popular mechanic that we haven’t seen in years. Personally I really don’t like it but I’m very, very much in the minority here.

Along with Khans we are looking at some crazy new craziness for Commander.

It’s going to be a good year for Tefferi, since Khans also reportedly has a TIME TRAVEL element to it. What do you guys think? Excited about the news?
