We'll see about your choice of profanity once Fate Reforged is out. All we need to know is that our UR's are centered on the "ghost continent" or "Ugin Continent" if you prefer since it is where Ugin's Nexus is...and like I said, we don't know why the khans are drawn to this continent rather than try to improve things on their own...that is something to be hinted in FRF and unveiled, the motives, in DTK.
Well, we are only on the first set. I expect that in Dragons of Tarkir we will have the clans' motives clarified. Fate Reforged will probably establish what it is that makes this sixth "ghost continent" a lodestone for the various khans.
...spawned from elemental storms of five classes, each class unique to one of Tarkir's five continents...the first dragon spawned from each of the five storms provided the name for each of the continents...

The guides to Tarkir in the case of the five continents. The time travel theory is based on something Maro said on his tumbler about Tarkir's time travel being exclusive to Tarkir, and used in a way that does not act as a means of fixing storyline problems. The Unwritten comes straight from the Temur entry in the guide to Tarkir.
Uhhh what? Tarkir has five continents named after the plane's wedge elder dragons: Abzan, Sultai, Jeskai, Mardu and Temur. What we've seen in the URs all take place on the ghost continent that shifts into the Agyrem-like region that figures into the Temur's mythology about the Unwritten stuff/things. Ancillary to this topic, but the Unwritten is where the dead dragons and the dead khans of the past like the new Dragonclaw are reincarnated and go about life in a slow-time bubble on a massive scale that is being maintained by Intet.

It is far easier for a character already involved in the story with motivations and goals to be involved with the story rather than a non-entity getting drawn into the narrative for no apparent reason.
The reasons need not be made apparent, or may be kept vague, until they're necessary for the story. Or we're left to piece them together via Intet's actions once she and the other Planar Chaos dragons are released. Have we seen Ghost Ugin speaking directly to Sarkhan in a UR where Ghost Ugin is the narrator?
I wonder if this "Alternate Present" thing that the Temur believe in is like Agyrem from original Ravnica. I mean, I understand that it's involved with the weird time travel the plot involves, but it does have an odd similarity.
I believe it is an Agyrem of a more sinister nature...that being to draw in the Eldrazi Titans with the presence of all those high-mana dragonstorms, then trap them within the pocket plane. The constantly spawning storms would keep them busy. Leaving Ugin to send Sorin and whomever else on wild goosechases across the multiverse while he does whatever potentially devious spirit dragons do.
Wizards teased the return of the old Planar Chaos primevals in Oros, Intent, Numot, Vorosh and Teneb. These color alignments are shared by the volver cycle. The kicker costs work as an in-game representation of the "shake up" from Sarkhan meddling with the time streams, while the volvers are a creature unto themselves and are easily explained as the byproducts of the dragonstorms. Will the volvers drastically restructure the clans, starting a khan vs volver civil war for our third set?
Do you plan on building your decks around the reprinted Planar Chaos primevals and the vovlers, or do you think this will amount to an unplayable gimmick?
For one, we know the "Face the Hydra" type deck for Fate Reforged is called something like "Heal Ugin".
Also, killing Bolas would result in a Paradox, because if Bolas was never around to send Sarkhan to Zendikar to meddle with the Hedrons, Sarkhan would never have had Ugin's voice in his head and would never have traveled back in time in the first place.
My guess is that there WILL be unintended consequences, but I don't think this is the right line of reasoning.
IF that is indeed Ugin and not Intent in disguise: Sarkhan could still wind up on Zendikar by following his original goal of finding a dragon worthy of his reverence...and a dragon whose voice comes to him across the depths of time and space would be a dragon worth following. So Sarkhan DOES still end up on Zendikar and inadvertently meddles with the hedrons. Natch baby!
They are a direct challenge to the wedges, so it is a natural fit when you consider that time travel tends to make things worse. At the same time, it provides ground for an alliance between the clans and the wedge dragon lords (like the Mardu dragon on that art where they're fighting some Abzan soldiers). The dragons are def coming back, otherwise they'd not tease cards in wedge colors that aren't actually wedge cards.
The card doesn't directly state "Ugin is doing this." This could be an illusion sent by Intet.
