I've got a pretty decent feeling it will be Xiahou Dun, especially since they said this will be the first chance many are printed with black borders. Portal sets and old core sets (core sets back then had no new cards) are the only ones that fit that description, and as such one of the most expensive cards not belonging to the power 9 will be within reach of the average person.

If One-eye is in the FTV, then i wonder if that's a hint for bringing back horsemanship. The time period that has been established so far for ISD would jive well with horses as a form of transport.
Personally, i'm waiting for the day they create a creature-creature equipment type, that way my army can finally learn to ride bicycles...or horses, or tanks! It must be done.
I wouldn't be surprised if they show off Liliana. If they do, then i would gather that they aren't using her card itself to propel interest in the set, unlike Karn/Bolas/Jace 2.0. I doubt however, we'll get many cards if any. Personally, i'd be happy with a ton of art, and a proper description of the plane.

I mean, i'd be good with the return of banding, I just know a few *cough* people who would absolutely hate to see that ability come back. Has it been fixed with the newest rules change?

Wizards could put $100 bills in packs and people would complain about how they were folded.

I have been hoping for this as well.
I think it could be done fairly painlessly by creating a new card type with similarities to equipment, and the champion ability.

When Griffin Charger is mounted by another creature, exile it.
If the mounted creature leaves the battlefield, return Griffin Charger to the battlefield, under its owner's control.
This would be one of my favorite cards ever.
This would probably be a nightmare in disguise. They could nuke your "rider" while the mount's exile trigger was on the stack, putting the Leaves the Battlefield trigger on the stack to return nothing and then exiling your Griffin forever to his own ability.
What do people think will be shown on friday? Do we think it will just be lots of flavor about instradid? A few spoilers, or none at all? Set mechanics? Confirmations of characters in the block? Artwork?
Usually we don't see much more than art and some basic things like theme. Maybe they'll show us a card or two, but more than likely proper spoils won't happen until PAX.
I'm working on some rules support for the major #MTGINN mechanics. I wonder if @maro254 will be talking about them at #SDCC tonight!
So maybe we'll get more than just art. He said "tonight" so I don't know if that was just a mistake on his part or if MaRo might be revealing things besides just at tomorrow's panel.
Really though, until there is more information all I can say is: I really hope this isn't a reprint from Alara block. If the preview card for FTV:Legends is another Alara card I will loose a lot of faith in Wizards. I bet it's something cool and something black. Although if it's black then does that reduce the odds of One-Eye being in the set?
I am honestly hoping for a green or white Van Helsing style legend.
I would hope for a blue bounty hunter legend, he uses his vast amounts of information to his advantage.
Matts tweet probably means nothing, he probably has no idea what is planned tomorrow.
Why wouldn't he? He works in the Pit too, and considering how excited MaRo is about this I doubt anyone there doesn't know what he's been preparing for ComicCon.
Niv:
I can see by that stupid look on your face you're confused; "Why would I reveal this to you now?" Simply put, you have no chance to escape, I put my plan into motion 35 blocks ago.
Glad to see that other people want to ride bicycles too; sorry bout the custom card spams. I really do image it as a carbon copy of equip with it's own word, like Fortification was for lands.

Any of those would at least give us something to chew on. What we have isn't conclusive regarding anything about the set, other than Liliana's presence...
MaRo is a cool dude. The design in recent sets has been fantastic (bans aside), Magic is a lot of fun lately, I hope they keep it up with ISD (with cards like Smallpox being reprinted out of the blue, WotC is on my nice list). Looking forward to the spoilers.

I'd say Flashback is a pretty clear indication it's graveyard based

I actually have to agree, magic is a lot of fun these days. Btw when is maro talking today? It's already luch time here. My bet is they'll reveal the cards already in dotp murder of crows etc. I also think Richard Garfield will burn comic books on stage and maro will make a harry potter related joke...or two.

OT: My favourite set is P3K just for its awesome references, and I do kind of hope some cards in there can be reprinted.
