I sort of don't want it in a standard legal set to be honest. I know it would help Modern, but I dislike the effect that it has on a standard format. The disruption it provides is a bit too powerful for my tastes. So I hope he means Daybreak Coronet.
Thoughtseize is too powerful, but Daybreak Coronet in an enchantment block with some ok Hexproof creatures isn't too powerful? What is wrong with you?
Hogwash. Mana Leak wasn't to strong to print, and with the elimination of Combo from standard, remand isn't going to break anything. It was a huge oversight from Modern Masters and thus remains one of the few $15+ uncommons left in the format.
What is <insert block theme> about discard effects in general? Also, R&D came out and said Mana Leak was a mistake due to it's power the last time it was printed. Remember the whole Cavern of Souls saga?

While whoever suggested the nymphs suggested a wonderful wonderful idea that would be really cool in my opinion...except I don't like the idea of more lands that you can fetch to avoid sac'ing a creature...
The Fates and the Graeae have cards that represent them for Theros, and unless they use God for the Fates, I can't really think of a creature type that would fit them (Incarnation, maybe?). And although the Graeae have "Witch's Eye," there's a high chance there will be a creature for them...
I will die if the hag creature type returns.

"Theros block does something that we haven't done a lot of. We have taken a mechanic that didn't succeed the first time out, given it a make-over (rules tweak, new name and flavor) and are reintroducing it. The big experiment is can we take ideas that we believe didn't live up to their potential the first time out and try again? I very much hope we meet this goal because it's something we have to learn how to do."
I have a couple thoughts on this.
The first is devotion, which is clearly based off of chroma from Eventide. I think this is most likely what he is referring to.
However, Bestow is conceptually if not mechanically very similar to the now ancient Licid mechanic.
Other than that I think that Splice, Offering, Totem armor, Champion, or Prowl could all make sense.
But we already know 5 mechanics for certain; Bestow, Monstrosity, Heroic, Scry, and Devotion. So at max I think we might get one more, but I doubt it.
Pretty sure they've said 5 mechanics in Theros (set), and one is returning (Scry).
Some of those could be in the other two sets, but don't hold your breath-
Small sets usually get new mechanics.

I know that thoughtseize was "spoiled" already, but if it turns out to be a different card to fit the "could have been in modern masters" shoe, I hope it's remand. I think that blue will need some love once Snapcaster leaves.

You do realize reprints in expert level sets get new artwork right?

As in Seal of Plowshares or O-Ring style?
Am I crazy, or did someone say that Minotaurs were going to be in B/R and kind of roaming horde like creatures?

If what he says is true, I suspect he is talking about the W Ordeal (StP when it is sacrificed).
