Boros commander support? Oh yes please. I just got my Basandra deck back together too; perfect timing it seems. Hoping for some clever R/W cards and not just standard aggro themes. I love aggro and all but R/W has plenty already haha.
I'm hoping to see new split second cards, mass exile, reprints of strong cards, lots of new art, devotion enablers (be it hybrid mana or lots of one color), and one or two red permanents that alter the gamestate, but can still be built around.
I, for one, like the forced multiplayer mechanics and hamfisted cards like Death by Dragons.
Inevitably, I'll get one of each, for parts.
Cheers!

Gonna stealth call Brion Stoutarm for the R/W reprint 'cuz he's like the only one that isn't straight aggro. You know what's not on the reserve list? Sneak Attack.
Though I'd give them major props for Gisela and Boros Reckoner.dec for a R/W theme.
Wonder if we will ever get the Four Color legendaries at some point. Yes its nice to help the already Helped Wedges since Khans brought us a lot to play in those decks.
I would be surprised if we ever saw a 4 color card again. It's just hard to thematically represent 4 color philosophies on one card without it being a mess. The Nephilim are not connected to their colors in any way. Each and every one of those cards could be represented on a 1,2,or,3 color card. I understand the urge to "fill out" more possibilities for color combinations though.
I think enough people want 4C Commanders that they'll see print but it'll be outside of precon decks. At a $35 budget either all the money would be in the landbase or the lands wouldbe mono-CIPT and play terribly out of the box which is a HUGE part of the design philosophy for these things.
Man I would love an actual commander for GU morph/manifest, Edric is cool but just not really on theme. I could also stand to replace Obzedat in my WB deck. RW is the only combination I don't actually have someone picked out for yet because none of the available commanders actually do anything compelling. That said, I also have a vague goal of diversifying my Commanders across sets, and I usually only get one or two of these, so they can't all be good...
I'm honestly putting more chips on a single enemy fetch in each commander 2015 deck than an enemy fetch reprint in BFZ.
Don't they want to pretend that they don't want us to hoard these sets and rip them apart for value? We all know they actually want us to, since that sells a lot of product, but fetchland would be so blatant...
With 15 new cards in each set and 55 new cards in all, some of them should be in several or all of the decks. Some Command Tower type stuff, maybe?

When I hit my 3000 post mark, I'm gone for good.
Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
Kruphux is the god of morph, as for the commanders themselves, I'd hope for a nice kaladesh flavored artifact legend for the UR deck.
Doubling season would make the UG one sell like hotcakes, and maybe they'll toss in some 'walkers to lower prices since every edh deck on the planet runs multiples.
The BW deck, would be awesome for a fallen Angel theme while the RW could be the basic token spam deck everyone expects

So happy it's enemy colors. Golgari and Izzet have some great options, but I always feel much more limited in Boros, Simic, and Orzhov colors... and all of them are sure to have some cool legendaries ( the last set certainly did ).

I think wizards has basically confirmed that doubling season was a mistake when they printed primal vigor.

My favorite flavor text: Time of Heroes
Feel free to tell me yours!
To tell the truth, all I want from this is to finally get modern-bordered Diabolic Edict and Darkest Hour.
I used to count on Duel Decks for that kind of cool, flavorful reprints but lately they've been notthing but recent standard crap and ***** that's been reprinted to death.
It'll be nice to get new enemy-colored generals, as there's a dearth of ones that explore different dimensions of their respective pairings (almost all the Golgari ones play off the graveyard, most of the Simic ones play around with +1/+1 counters, etc.). I'm also vaguely hopeful that we get a few reprints in here that they can't really put into anything else, either for fear of adding them to Modern or bringing them back into Standard.
In each deck:
RW: Stoneforge Mystic seems like the best fit (especially if the reprint general is Jor Kadeen), but I thought it fit better in Nahiri's deck and that didn't happen, so maybe Sneak Attack? WB: Vindicate is the obvious choice, hopefully with the badass "Sorin dusts normal guy" art from the judge promo. BG: There are a number of Reserved cards that would be awesome here (Cadaverous Bloom, Grim Feast, Squandered Resources), but as those aren't an option, let's go with Argothian Enchantress and pair it with a number of black's overcosted enchantments. GU: Doubling Season would make a lot of people happy, but I think they're keeping that in their back pocket to bring back in MM2017. Voidslime, though...that would be sweet. UR: Much as I'd love this to be Dack Fayden, it'll probably be something like Suffocating Blast or Mindwrack Liege. I have a real soft spot for Dracoplasm, but I doubt that'd make anyone else happy.
Really disappointed, was hoping for allied colors, I have zero interest in enemy colored cards :/
You've gotta be kidding. There are so many options for ally colored already. What they really needed was either wedge or four colored with an enemy colored legend in each.

And I, personally, gain nothing from more enemy colored support. Both of my decks are allied colors, as such it is very ublikely we see much in these that I would actually be able to use and would want, and atm I don't really wish to build another deck. So again, these being enemy pairs is disappointing to me.
As for getting nothing; you're still seeing four different decks with cards in your allied colors. Not every new card is going to be multi-colored, and there could be reprints of mono-colored goodstuff. And the utility lands are usually pretty neat, I still run Homeward Path because reasons.
It's pretty unlikely that they will print absolutely nothing in these that would benefit ally colored/shard decks.

Could this be the place where they reprint the enemy fetch lands? (Personally, I expected them to be in BFZ, but the enemy pain lands in Origins feel like a signal against that)

Pretty sure that is about the face cards, much like last year.
That could be a vague hint we're getting PWs again,
since it's less arbitrary which Commander gets the oversized card.

I wonder at the expansion symbol. Looks like stylized wings. That doesn't scream enemy colored to me.
