I attempt to play all colors equally, but black and white are my favorite colors, so if blue is downplayed, I shall not be too displeased.
Is it safe to presume that there shall be more phenomena beyond the one that was shown in the preview?
If I remember correctly, there's 30 new planes and 10 phenomena.
Edit: In the original post even:
Each deck has eight new plane cards and two new phenomenon cards, and these cards are not shared between decks; there are a total of 32 new planes and 8 new phenomena.

You know.. I hate that this thing doesn't have a name. Hardly ever are Legendary Creatures just a creature with Legendary slapped on it. Hate to use a WoW reference but all "rare" mobs had a name didn't they? They didn't just say "wolf" or "bear" or "spider". I mean I still love the guy and will make him my general, but that kinda loses him points.
I hope they don't keep doing that. Making a legend just because is kinda lame.
Loch Ness Monster doesn't have a name (besides Nessie, which really doesn't count as it's just shorthand) and it's legendary. It's debatable whether bigfoot counts as a single legendary creature or a species... but either way, it's not all that "legendary" sounding for something so rare

uhm you are right decks doesn't sound very wedge
savage auras may be WUR: WU for the auras and R for savage, but it isn't very likely. probably a bant deck
Primoridal Hunger and WBR... the only card i think can make sense is fervent charge lol. probably a jund deck
but i still think making only one wedge legend is stupid
Green can be savage with 10 green-only cards with it in the title. And green loves it some enchantments. Totem Aura was strong in G/W/U, so you could easily have a RG or GW Aura deck and call it Savage Auras as well.

Polendino, you're absolutely right. We did get Murasa in the actual set before ZEN plus Tazeem as a pre-release promo. I would not be surprised to see a Hook plane at all.

I'd like it if they'd give an "official" answer. Eternities Map rules. Honestly, I think they should print the EM variant directly in the Planechase rulebooks this time around.
Without an official answer right now, I would say that when a Phenomena is revealed, have its effect happen, put it on the bottom, then deal out the plane in the spot where it would have gone. So you could get a cascade (cwutidid?) of Phenomena, then a Plane of your choice!
The Undercity Reaches isn't Dimir. The Undercity included the Golgari, Dimir, and Orzhov (in a completely different portion of the Undercity.)
I'll give you that story-wise, yes, that's all true. But look at the mechanics of the card, and it's clearly Dimir. What's even weird is that you could say it's pure blue (no max hand size and curiosity) but those three guilds are UB, WB and BG, meaning it would really best fit as the Dimir guild plane.
Looks pretty cool, I tihnk phenomena are pretty neat and add fun to a Planechase game (does anyone even play non EDH planechase?)
I don't play Commander Planechase, because I get 12 deck planar magic going. That's 720 cards alone, without the planes. If they were Commander, it'd be 1200 on a table, and we're afraid the table would break (jk obviously).
This annoucement makes it look less like they forgot and that they "spaced them out." I would bet $.37 that those two will be in here. It's kind of a "why the hell wouldn't they complete the cycle" thing.
They could finish the Ravnica cycle, because they have the Izzet plane and Dimir plane, so they still have 8 of those to do!
My guess (for a third of it) would be that they would have:
Jund
Esper
Simic
Orzhov
Shandalar
Eiganjo
Gavony
a New Phyrexia
a Jamuraa
a Muraganda
a post-ROE Zendikar

Hey guys, I have a little question: If I use the Wanderer in an Animar EDH, the reducing-cost ability of Animar would make worse the cascade of the elemental, or its CMC is still 8 for the cascade?
When a card asks for a CMC, you always just add the symbols in the corner. Its always 8 whether you have Animar or a Sphere of Resistance

The fact that there would be Organized Play for this set is indeed news! Thanks for the info!

Aliens...
literally. See, Planeswalkers are alien to the plane (or area) except of their birth, so it's an appropriate response.

No, and we technically already have a lord for Ninjas in Higure, the Still Wind in the sense that it makes other ninjas unblockable and findable.
