3. Maro stated one of the deck flavors is peppermint red and white a total locks and green is either replaces red or added making it Christmas colors (as a matter fact candy canes is peppermint)
When you step on Maro's toes, he plays cloudcuckoolander. We all know this.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
But any way they need to focus on the wedge colors not used so much particually abzan, Jeskai, and temur
I'd say Jeskai and Temur are more difficult than Abzan here, because you are mixing blue with traditionally very aggressive color (Boros and Gruul), balance is delicate here. I like cards with Ferocious and Prowess keyword because they are a good mix of control/aggression, one rely on big creature the other rely on numerous spells, at the same time I hope they don't focus entirely on these two themes.
Tarkir is set to return in the future, with many voices complaining about dragons ruining the clans. We will see more wedges coming, over the dead bodies of dragons.
Yes! The wedges were so great and we can get more legendary khans!

A commander for abzan enchantress is something I want, I had a deck for a while that started in selesnya, but it went more fun with some black mixed in it.
For flavour I want to include the random element from red with the classic white/blue blink, a less controlled blink as something went wrong, like a portal experiment running amok. Maybe something not far from Roon, but exile a random nonland permanent (you control/own(?)), and return it at end of turn.

I'd avoid creating new legends with many colors while having a popular theme. One problem with additional colors is that decks would be too similar when more colors are shared, lead to overlapping card choices and uncreative deck building.
Dexos the Returned is a great example of how new legends should be, forcing players to do enchantress unique to Orzhov instead of traditional Selesnya, or Noyan Dar, Roil Shaper doing a land deck with WU without green.

...and now I'm thinking what a "typical boring Boros combat-centric legendary" (any of them) would look like if colorshifted(abilities changed accordingly ofc)... in Sultai. Sultai really doesn't have a commander that wants to lead a team to the red zone - though I guess Sidisi, Brood Tyrant can sort of fill that niche if you squint a bit and don't overly focus on the graveyard.
I do agree though. Commanders that make you go 'huh' and consider options you haven't explored are fun.

Confirmed 0 tricolor cards (beside Bolas) in WAR, so no new abzan, temur or jeskai general.

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.

It's suspected that the new plane would be a Norse mythology plane, due to Tolsimir, Arlinn, and wolves. We might see wedges similar to Khans again.

really a waste. i don't why it's so hard to dedicate a couple of rare slot to tricolor, mechanic focused legends. I thought they learnt with ixalan and dominaria

As a poster fantasized though, it's possible that the God-Eternals could be one or two colors, but with activate abilities that push to three. We can all hope.
I would to see a Jeskai commander with some plethora of Morphling, Aetherling, Brightling, and Torchling. I thing just straight attacking or spells matter have already been done. This would make a commander with flexibility and staying power
...are you really missing out on those enemy lands? They would be nice to have, but I think the top lands for high- and low-end budget decks are complete, right?
I thought it just meant the cards were delicious.

On phasing:
Something not discussed is a blink themed jeskai commander. Baseline is Azorius Brago, King Eternal. With green Roon of the Hidden Realm, with black Aminatou, the Fateshifter with the -1 ability. I want to use something else than a Zedruu the Greathearted for decks with red.
For flavour I want to include the random element from red with the classic white/blue blink, a less controlled blink as something went wrong, like a portal experiment running amok. Maybe something not far from Roon, but exile a random nonland permanent (you control/own(?)), and return it at end of turn.

One of my first commander. Won via multiple turns and commander damage is devastating.
