Hello Everyone! I wanted to start a discussion about Strixhaven. At this point, we know that it is the Plane of the Magical School for Mages, each divided into 5 enemy colored houses. Please post your predictions here!
I could easily see some Cycles appearing just based on what we know with the enemy colored pairs and the House system:
- Charms (More likely than Commands in my opinion, and if I had to guess it could possibly be like a DFC uncommon that has 2 abilities of a color on one side, and 2 abilities of another color on the opposite).
- Commands (Less likely than Charms due to the rarity restriction, but still possible).
- Housemages? (Similar to Guildmages, maybe just represented by like common teachers or students)
- Probably some kind of Signet or House symbol artifact
- Familiars based on each House?
- A House leader; i.e. an Archmage.
- Charms (More likely than Commands in my opinion, and if I had to guess it could possibly be like a DFC uncommon that has 2 abilities of a color on one side, and 2 abilities of another color on the opposite).
- Commands (Less likely than Charms due to the rarity restriction, but still possible).
- Housemages? (Similar to Guildmages, maybe just represented by like common teachers or students)
- Probably some kind of Signet or House symbol artifact
- Familiars based on each House?
- A House leader; i.e. an Archmage.
I could see them making Commands like the kicker ones from Zendikar rising, however over costed they are and easily forgettable. I think as far as signet go they could easily reprint the talismans from modern horizons instead of making a whole new card cycle (although the Mirrodincycle need the reprint more IMO). The house leader idea would ba an easy in for them to introduce new legends or the obligatory planeswalker.
Let’s start with the the two things that a googolplex percent of the public is guessing for strixhaven
either Jin-Gitaxa's or sheoldred/black praetor on strixhaven (by black praetor I mean if sheoldred is alive) I think it’s Jin and thanks to another user the college he’s probably hiding in is Quandrix
And two the MDFC is instant/sorcery and whatever
less obvious
they finish another land cycle like “battle lands” for example
commander 2021 is confirmed so the face legends will be their leaders

There will be a 5-color thing in the set (aka what the phyrexians are after in strixhaven)
a minor tribe sub-theme just like kaldheim did
As far as tribes go, I would assume that there will be our common "Species" creature types, like humans, elves, vedalken, etc. I honestly expect a larger subtheme of the "magic using" class tribes such as Wizards, Warlocks, Shamans, Clerics, and Druids running around.
Ok masterpieces confirmed what will show up in those
and to point this out there’s a 100% chance of pulling one in all draft and set boosters and 3 in collector editions (I’m not kidding and serious there’s even different rarity’s per card)
oh did a mention their foil version are in the etch foiling like commander legends did (you people better have fixed the foggy foreground/background problem)
(Oh bad news is these cards in this do not become legal in standard and modern they stay legal whatever formats they are legal in)
oh and the confirmed the tutor and swords will not be historic legal but most of the 63 cards will be so whatever shows up there could become historic legal
For cycles, we can assume some things and predict others. We already have the commands, and Elder Dragons have been mentioned. Finishing a cycle of dual lands seems fitting.
There’s one possible cycle I’m interested in though, and that’s a mythic cycle of MDFCs, where each face is a different color. My reason for this prediction is the Kenrith twins. They’re pictured on the packaging, so they’re in. They’re a really good fit for Prismari. But every time they’ve been in a set, they’ve had a unique twist. First, they had partner. Then they were on the same card. This time, I predict that they will be a single MDFC, where one side is Will and the other side is Rowan.
It stands to reason that, if Prismari gets a mythic MDFC, the other colleges will too.
For legendaries the face characters for each college/subject are probably the best students for each since we see them in quite a bit of other art so they are probably gonna be rare legends (the dragons are mythics is why I say rare)
oh reminder these are “elder dragons” in enemy colors so this is secretly finishing the 2-color elder dragon cycle so maybe someday we will see “wedge” colored elder dragons

well 5 of the gods from kaldheim were mythics and MDFC so the same thing should happen here
you represent the best and the brightest the Multiverse has to offer
exploring the Multiverse of Magic here at Strixhaven!
it was right there in front of us I think the whole entire campus specifically the elder dragons know about the existence of the Multiverse like a few non walker characters, could there be walkers as professors perhaps?
secondly another thing right in front of us
the lorehold is on artifacts/spirits theme and their subject is history did we all fail to remember this set could bring back "Historic" as a mechanic we know that was very popular on "dominaria"

Definitely could; Historic was cool and pretty well liked, as well as pretty open ended as far as what the mechanic could actually do. I would love to see Historic come back.

With Party around, i higly doubt we'll druids and shamans. There were 0 in Kaldheim.

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.

Also I feel like Morbid would work very well with the Witherbloom faction. As goth biology students, they would love to observe things dying, and for some kind of scientific benefit.
I'm not sure if we will see any returning mechanics, but Historic and Morbid sound like good abilities to fit these Houses.
Based upon the art for the command cards it appears For the tribes we have:
Humans
Elves
Dwarves
Orcs
Loxodon
Aven
Trolls
Elementals/dryad
And possibly:
Vampires
Kor
I might be missing some but that seems like a pretty diverse plane.
I think maybe there was some interplanar travel prior to the mending perhaps.

Merfolk, Azra and maybe the Orcs are ogres (Obeka looks similar to one figure).

So I’m curious, which card was the Azra depicted on?
The Prismari "leader", might be an ogre or orc but the purple skin makes me think Azra.

Just found the concept art from Bryan Sola for Silverquill Command, here.
The comments on the arts says (Human, Kor, Vampire, Orc) und the second version there seem to be an Owl, too. I am not sure where the Orc is, tho.

Might have been cut, Orcs and Owls (aven I'm guessing) are typically B and W respectfully so maybe they where planned for this college.

Anyone interested in buying my collection of magic cards don’t have time to deal with them anymore as I have a baby on the way and work 2 jobs I have a lot every card I own I’m selling it would make someone a good chunk of cash for pictures email gystsmith1@gmail.com

- Probably some kind of Signet or House symbol artifact
- Familiars based on each House?
- A House leader; i.e. an Archmage.

And two the MDFC is instant/sorcery and whatever
less obvious
they finish another land cycle like “battle lands” for example
commander 2021 is confirmed so the face legends will be their leaders
sad prediction is we will end up with atleast one broken card/cycle in the commander decks
(Examples Teferi's Protection, fierce guardianship, Deflecting swat, Dockside Extortionist, and ofcoarse the card that started this whole trend Flusterstorm)
There will be a 5-color thing in the set (aka what the phyrexians are after in strixhaven)
a minor tribe sub-theme just like kaldheim did

and to point this out there’s a 100% chance of pulling one in all draft and set boosters and 3 in collector editions (I’m not kidding and serious there’s even different rarity’s per card)
The first 3 so far
opt at uncommon
Swords to plowshare in rare
and demonic tutor at mythic (sadly mythic)
oh did a mention their foil version are in the etch foiling like commander legends did (you people better have fixed the foggy foreground/background problem)
(Oh bad news is these cards in this do not become legal in standard and modern they stay legal whatever formats they are legal in)
oh and the confirmed the tutor and swords will not be historic legal but most of the 63 cards will be so whatever shows up there could become historic legal

The Vorthos community will await the consequences of the Eldrazi Titans' deaths/sealing. We will keep the watch.
