The next official set code name Archery will be Throne of Eldraine prerelease will be Sept 28-29. Make sure to check back for official set details via Comic Con Panel on Saturday.
How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
The vibe I'm getting from the court summons and art style give me a medieval-Arthurian England/France setting. Knights, jousting, perhaps a return of. Exalted?
The sigil behind the set makes me think Fleur de Lys, and the font I feel has sort of stained glass look.
Blogatog confirms it's a planeswalker's home plane. And we know it's something Mark's been trying to do for ten years. So...Vryn?
Based on how the faeries in the art look, I highly doubt it's Vryn. It's probably not Lorwyn, either. Remember, MaRo had confirmed that the next expansion following War of the Spark would take place on a never-before-visited plane.
As for which planeswalker this might be the home plane of...for some reason my money's on Wrenn.

If I recall, the most demanded for plane that also won the voting was Lorwyn if they were to ever go back and return to one of these highly desired planes. With Kamigawa and Theros trailing not far behind. Plus the way this teaser is designed, its like a formal invitation to a castle than it is to a plane. Though this might might just be wishful thinking as its instead revealed to be Not-Lorwyn with similar themes and tribes.
I agree with the High Fantasy/Arthurian inspired plane, likely drawing heavily on the Fae for inspiration. Will be interesting to see who’s home plane this is (new or not) and to see what new walker(s) we get

Does anyone else think that Eldraine is an elf? The name is very similar to Eldamari, and we’re seen Magic use similar names for other characters, Minotaurs Tangarth and Angarth, vampires(Kazarov and Markov, and then all these vampire names end in “a”: Vona, Olivia, Lucia, Jeleva, Garza, Etrata, Elenda, Drana), and Goblins Grenzo and Krenko.

If I were a betting man, this set will likely have a Seelie and Unseelie Courts. I imagine elves will also be in the set, probably taking more from Eladrin from D&D than hippie elves (especially since we will be dealing with Royal Courts and the like).

If we're going by names, Eldraine is very similar to Eldrazi too.
I imagine it's the name of a continent. Or the plane itself, if it's not Vryn. Kasmina being the planeswalker would've been my second guess, but it doesn't quite jibe with the whole "trying to do this for ten years" thing.
Look it is Lorwyn + Conspiracy + Eldrazi together "we heard you guys like those" have fun
>_>
Where is our viking world? Where is Return to New Phyrexia? Where is our return to Theros? Where is our return to kamigawa? Where is our return to actual Lorwyn-Shadowmoor?
I mean do we really want another fairy tale plane...?

I second this. It’d be even more interesting if there’s politics between the Fae and Human involved, and old fairytales of how children disappear (spirited away) and return changed.
My fear is that we're going to back door into Lorwyn again but after Oona did more shenanigans to make it a 3rd different world this time that has humans somehow.
I was actually getting excited for the idea of Kaldheim. Could still happen I guess but we'll have to wait for this weekend to see what's up.

Did any part of Maro's hint allude to us knowing the planeswalker? He said the planeswalker will be the face of the set and that it's their home plane. Nothing in that says we already know the Walker. And maro likes to troll us with these hints.
It looks like the invitations Edmond Dantès gives out to the other counts on count of monte cristo. I feel it will be a muskateery like set with castles and dukes, and countes but not knights nor too renaissance era as that is too close to innistrad. But then again it could still be that type innistrad era but with fae and elves as royalty as opposed to the more lower class humans of innistrad..?

That’s got to be kasminas home plane
And since it may be based of “dungeons and dragons” without crossing over we may finally get are knight and cleric tribal legend as well
