Flavorwise, what do you want to see in Fate Reforged?
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum

From PAX Aus we already know two cards we will be getting, an Ugin and/or Bolas Planeswalker card will be coming eventually, but storywise or Flavor wise what do you WANT to happen in Fate Reforged?
Personally, given the Abzan's relation to Tree's and how they have entire aspect of culture built around ancestor worship and trees, I would LOVE to see new Treefolk from which the belief that tree's are sacred spawned from. Like the Abzan ancestors were forest dwellers long ago and held at bay through the strength of their Ent-like kin and their own cunning they perservered against the Dragons but the battle between Ugin and Bolas turned their lush forests into a barren desert.
On a much lesser scale, I would also like a couple new minotaur(s) who were the precursors to the Mardu Horde but again wiped out by Dragons and slash or Bolas/Ugin struggle.
What do you guys wanna see?
Nicol Bolas has always been three colors, even before his spark
it would be cool to see variations, don't get me wrong, but he IS the poster boy for grixis haha

As greyninja said, Bolas has always been grixis colors. He had power that rivaled that of a planeswalker even before his spark ignited (due to him being an elder dragon). The other 4 elder dragons were also three colors, but they were killed by bolas. I personally don't want a color variation, but I would like a new version. Depending on how far back we are going, I would expect bolas to be stronger. Before the mending, planeswalkers were immortals and essentially had infinite capacity for knowledge. After the mending, these powers faded for walkers and bolas has been weakening. That is why the events that led to the Conflux took place (he tried to absorb the power of 5 worlds at once to regain his lost power). Anyway, I expect a stronger version if we go back before the conflux, or a weaker version if we are after conflux.

We are obviously getting tribal dragons, which I am really psyched for. One of my strongest EDH decks runs Scion of the Ur-Dragon as the general. A influx of new dragon cards will certainly strengthen the deck. I'm wondering if any of the other colors aside from red will get dragons. If that does happen will we see any multi-color dragons, maybe in the wedge colors.

I really wanna see artifacts make a big come back!!

Worst dragons... I'm generalizing heavily here, but I would say the older the set, the worse. There has been a trend towards more powerful cards, particularly dragon cards over the years. Looking through the gatherer, I'd say these are the dragons I would least likely put into a deck. I'm going with rares or mythic rares only. Most of the uncommon and common dragons aren't worth it.
Canopy Dragon, Exalted Dragon, Furnace Dragon, Pearl Dragon, Rathi Dragon, and Shivan Dragon.

I hope tribal dragons becomes a thing, we already have Crucible of Fire in standard. However I'm surprised Scourge of Valkas wasn't reprinted in M15, that is if tribal dragons was their plan. Have there been tribal dragon cards in the past?

SevynnthDimension there was Dragonspeaker Shaman, Scion of the Ur-Dragon and Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund to my knowledge.

That would be nice. I assume they printed that card for a particular reason...morph is gonna be a big part of this block.

So the Clans in the present are based on one color, one of that color's allies and one of its enemies. For Example, Sultai is base blue with black as an ally color and green as an enemy color. What I would like to see in Fate Reforged would be for them to switch it and have the clans be a base color and have the other two colors be its enemy colors. For example, Sultai would switch to being base green with its supplementary colors being black and blue.

Other dragon tribal cards include Bladewing the Risen, and Bladewing's Thrall.

I want to see playable dragons. MAKE IT VIABLE, WIZARDS!

SevynnthDimension - Kilnmouth Dragon could be considered tribal I'd say
draco1430 - I like where you're going with that. Although I do like that Temur is based on green since it's my fav color combo (Animar, Soul of Elements)

I want a legendary dragon that doesn't make me use a wedge/shard dragon or run dragon tribal in EDH.

@CommanderOfBolas
My point with the not having his traditional colors thing was based on the past with FRF. If this is in the past then the card we know and love today, Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker, doesn't necessarily represent his initial colors. Perhaps that was a variation of his normal color(s). Anyway I'm saying that the mono
speculation I had wasn't exactly losing colors for him, maybe back then he was pure black and through the years he gaine the knowledge of 
and the chaos of
