Allied coloured DTK
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum

I don't know whether this has already been covered by someone, but I'm fairly certain that Dragons of Tarkir is going to be an allied set. First of all, we have similar, but different watermarks for each legendary dragon than the clans (as well as the 6-drop uncommon dragons). I suspect these will be the clan watermarks in DTK, in the alternate present where dragons are alive. So: each dragon is two colours, so this would make sense for each new clan to be these two colours, however, there is something else which also suggests an allied coloured DTK: and that is that the keywords of each clan only feature in these two colours.
That's right, unless I've missed one, there are no red prowess cards, just UW ones. This suggests that jeskai will be solely UW in DTK. Similarly, there are no green delve cards, blue ferocious cards, white dash cards, and no black bolster cards.
Does anyone else have other theories?
Idk. There has been 1 enemy colored cycle in FRF depicting each clan that would use that dual colored enemy combination (Grim Contest for Sultai, War Flare for Mardu, Harsh Sustenance for Abzan, Ethereal Ambush for Temur and Cunning Strike for Jeskai).

Yeah, that's true. I saw those, but the block has to cater for both sets, so maybe these are more for making KTK a bit easier to draft, as they easily fit into two clans.

A few things: the watermark on the dragons are the dragon brood symbols. they are different from the clans. Next: cards like Crux of Fate make me think it is possible to have next to nothing clan related in DTK. Lastly, it is called Dragons of Tarkir, so I am assuming it will be heavily focused on the dragons, even more so than this set. Because of that, I would assume ally colors would be the focus because of the legendary brood leaders (dragons)

I believe that someone somewhere said that the clans would remain in the same color combos, but the color focus would shift, which means that the Temur, who focus on green, I believe, would shift focus to either red or blue (Probably red because Ally pairings), which could be indicated by the dragon's colors in FRF.

This is in FRF, i mean. There are red prowess cards etc. in KTK, but not in FRF
