C15 is going to be enemy coloured Commanders, with 15 new cards per deck.
A few things I noticed:
It comes with a 'deck storage box'. Part of me wants to think that Wizards finally figured out that you need to make it big enough to hold sleeved cards - but the rational part of me expects it to end up in the recycling bin.
The MSRP specifically says "US Only". They've probably been getting a lot of pushback from Canadian (and Aussie?) retailers. I wonder if they'll release an MSRP for other countries too?

U/R should be artifact based since that's a popular artifact color combination but there are 0 good existing commanders for it. Also at least one of the commander decks has always been artifact themed, or subthemed. And this is the only color combo that makes sense for.
W/B will probably either be a board control deck with things like wrath, and sax effects.
G/B will be hard and will probably be the worst of the 5.
B/G will be graveyard based, not much else in those colors.
W/R will probably have some good reprints, and will be aggro. Maybe Lovisa cold-eyes will return?

I assume you mean G/U will be hard and probably the worse?

No good commanders for U/R? Have you ever seen Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind going off? Still, more is good and I'd expect artifacts too.
Boros is probably going to be combat based, but after Daretti? Some control isn't out of the question. I hope there's some new cards or commander to provide better card advantage in those colors.

Ah, I see. That's very true. You'd need to go three-color for that. This is also a great time to sell a deck like that since there's interest in U/R artifacts.

UR Artifacts and GU Lands.dec are hopefully the themes for those two. WB reanimator, GB rampy, and WR anything-but-combat-stuff-because-boros-needs-more-variety would be nice :)

Yeah. I will be fucking psyched if the Boros commander ends up being control.

Same dude! I'll be fine as long as it does stuff outside the combat phase. The only playable boros commander I can think of that does that is Brion Stoutarm, who is technically a really solid control general.

Yep, the only Boros commanders I like are Gisela (because her effects amuse me) or Brion. The rest are just dreadfully boring.

How can someone forget about Iroas, God of Victory for a Boros commander. I use a tempo styled, come-out-of-nowhere style with him. The token spam approach is viable too.

Ok, I'll grant you that one army88strong. He's cool too.

Excellent read there Rasta_Viking29. Bookmarked, and will reference it in the future.
