Commander Collection White
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum
Posted on Jan. 3, 2021, 4:46 p.m. by Omniscience_is_life
I'm not aware of what order the Commander Collections are coming out, but I'm most interested in what's going in the White one. My (very optimistic, let's be honest) guess so far as to what's going in: Enlightened Tutor, Alms Collector, Smothering Tithe, Sol Ring and Command Tower obviously... and then after that I can't even think of what else could POSSIBLY go in. What is everyone's speculations and hopes for Commander Collection: White?

Probably, Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile. They'll have a white Sol Ring/Command Tower cause they cannot load it with too much value. Honestly, I wish they'd just bring back msrp; I preordered green at $100 and there are like 3 or 4 pages of sellers offering it for 60 - I'm all for this product but want the price information/availability to not be so convoluted.

If I follow Commander Collection Green's choices as our template for future color options and apply that to white, my best estimate includes the following cards (based on the most notable creature types and abilities established within the MtG color wheel):
- Land - Command Tower w/ new art
- Artifact - Sol Ring w/ new art
- Instant - Enlightened Tutor
- Enchantment - Land Tax
- Sorcery - Wrath of God *** replaces a creature from green
- Creature - Stoneforge Mystic
- Legendary Creature - Linvala, Keeper of Silence
- Planeswalker - Elspeth, Knight-Errant
Enlightened tutor is an automatic include for the instant slot, as I don't see an uncommon like Swords or Path getting included, so we get the best rare tutor in the color. Unlike green, white is a sorcery powerhouse, and wrath of god stands at the top of the list, so it replaces a creature from the green version. As much as Alms Collector and Smothering Tithe would be enjoyed by players, card draw is not a staple ability of white, so I'm skeptical of their inclusion. Stoneforge mystic and Land tax are much more on-brand for white and still exciting for players to get a copy of in a special set. The legendary creature is almost certain to be an angel or human - I'll go with a lower CMC angel with multiple format appeal in Linvala. Finally, Elspeth feels like the most on-brand planeswalker for white and gets the nod. Those are my choices and rationale.

In addition to everything named already: Monastery Mentor would be nice.
Arena Rector is also a high value white card that needs a reprint.
Weathered Wayfarer is a white commander card that almost any deck could play.
Teferi's Protection needs to go down in price.
Recruiter of the Guard seems like it needs to be around more for commander too.

I agree with Enlightened Tutor and Wrath of God. Though I could see Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile as well. It is possible that a new art version of Serra Angel would appear in the White set. It was the iconic creature for white and may show up. Though if they went with something more current I would guess Baneslayer Angel might be another option.
Following Azdranax's format:
Land - Command Tower
Artifact - Sol Ring
Instant - Enlightened Tutor/ Path/ Swords
Enchantment - Land Tax
Sorcery - Wrath of God
Creature - Sun Titan
Legendary Creature - Lyra Dawnbringer or Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
Planeswalker - Elspeth, Sun's Champion

Wotc is in touch with the commander community and they know what we want, so the sorcery would 100% be Armageddon.

Demarge make it Ravages of War :D
I do hope they won't print Sol Ring and Command Tower in every commander collection. Arcane Signet still needs a lot more supply, white is the color of equipment, Sword of the Animist would be a nice one, and for Lands: I'd rather see reprints of Flagstones of Trokair, Hall of Heliod's Generosity, Emeria, The Sky Ruin, Eiganjo Castle etc. than another command tower art.

Balan, Wandering Knight would be a nice choice for the legendary slot since it has only one printing ever.
Instead of Sol Ring I think a better option for the artifact slot would be the medallion cycle (Pearl Medallion for white) which need to be more accessible to players IMO.

White is my favorite color in this game, so I naturally would be very interested in a set such as this one.
Since Worldly Tutor was reprinted in Commander Collection: Green, I believe that it is safe to presume that Enlightened Tutor shall be in the white set. I, myself, would very much like to see Righteous Aura reprinted, because, while it is not terribly expensive, it definitely needs to be reprinted in the new border style. I definitely think that either Path to Exile or Swords to Plowshares will be in this set, due to their iconic status, and it would also be nice to have either a mass destruction, such as Planar Cleansing or mass revival spell, such as Second Sunrise.
Unfortunately, it is likely that both Command Tower and Sol Ring shall be in this set, since WotC will likely welcome the opportunity to give them new artwork, but I agree with plakjekaas that Arcane Signet needs to be reprinted, again, to keeps its supply high and price low. While discussing artifacts, Akroma's Memorial, Vedalken Orrery, and Book of Rass all very much needs reprints, as well, in my opinion.

My guess would be Wrath of God
