Wedge block
Lore forum

Is there a good possibility of wizards creating a wedge block that isn't a commander set and if they do what do you think the mechanics/story/flavor would be like and what each edge would be like?
Maro often mentions this type of block, which he calls Bizarralara. The implication is that sometime in the relatively near future this will be done. I doubt it will be next block, because they will want to take a break from multicolored for a while, but I could see one of the 2 sets after that being a wedge set.

I would love to see a wedge based set. It would be pretty awesome.

Multicoloured-based blocks happen every four years. We're due one after Blood block. Here's hoping it'll be Bizarralara! Maro keeps saying if it happens, they'll need to get the mana fixing right... sounds like he's put some thought into it!

I think thats more a reference to the fact that Maro has said Alara had bad mana fixing for limited, which is something DGM fixed by having Guildgates in the land slot. That doesn't necessarily point to Bizarralara

I know, just let me have some hope here! I love Alara and I really want Wedgeworld to happen.

So I they do it in a couple years how do you think they'll do the mana fixing I'm sure they'll finish the cycle of trilands and borderposts but that probably won't be enough what would you suggests?

Its possible they could use a similar system as DGM, and include trilands in the land slot. I also just checked that Zendikar fetches are enemy colour, meaning they could be possible in wedge block.

well, I think that should be an obvious yes. they did Alara, which did remotely well, and they seem to be pushing hard for cards that work in commander. it seems reasonable that another block could be made that would be wedges. they could go back to Alara, though I doubt they will any time soon. Alara's story was essentially resovled, so they would have to create a new issue for the plane. they could also create a hate wedge block, who knows. the same goes for mechanics. I'm sure we'll see mechanics similar to the ones in alara, at least certain ones, because they wanted cards that could work in multiple colors. how likely are they to do this soon? probably not very. they spent a whole year on a block, and they probably already have "Huey" "Dewey" and "Louie" (the code name(s) for next years block) figured out, at least in terms of what the block is going to be about. i would suspect they might do one in the next five years, but really, we'd just have to wait and see.
