Planechase Anthology/Nissa vs Ob Nixilis
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum

That's right.
PLANECHASE ANTHOLOGY?! GIMMIE THAT! MINE! ALL MINE! I DON'T CARE IF I SPEND $100000000000000000000000000000000000 ON IT!
I actually predicted that we'd be going to Kaladesh but I was half-surprised that they'd do it this soon. Aether Revolt seems interesting. I wonder what's going on here...
Duel decks? Ok...
C16 being 4-color was THE big surprise for me. I was expecting ally duals. Hopefully they'll execute this perfectly and not make it 5 goodstuff decks. Oh, and 3 new 4-colored legendaries per deck would be nice. You know, since the Nephilim AREN'T legendary.
There's also a new intro deck which has planeswalkers in them. From that we can confirm that Chandra will be the main character in the Kaladesh block. More goodies for my Chandra EDH...

Depending on what else is in the decks, I'll definitely consider buying the new duel deck! I'm also excited to see what they do with the new planeswalker intro decks. Planeswalkers are the most fun part of magic to newer players (so I've been told), so it seems like a good move on their part to include PWs in more supplemental products.

From the article about them, it sounds like the Planeswalker decks are going to have new planeswalkers made just for them, not just reprints. I might just be interpreting it wrongly though, but it would be awesome if they are going to be new planeswalker cards, in addition to the cards in the actual set.

In that case...
More Chandras for me! :D (Alright, I swear, the Chandra hype started yesterday)

I'm assuming Planechase Anthology will be just like the Duel Decks Anthology... That just seems so odd since they've only done two planechase sets. I also think it's safe to assume the print run will be as limited as Duel Decks Anthology as well making it hard to come by unless you're willing to pay a premium price.

Making matters worse, they're only doing the 2012 decks and not the 2009 ones as well. How sad. There goes my fantasies of an 8-way planechase game. :(

Perhaps they'll eventually print a 'Premium Deck Series' Anthology.

...and CheeseBro wins the "Longest Comment Award."
I was wondering of the planeswalker in the Planeswalker decks will be foil or not. I hope they aren't.

I was kind of excited when I saw the boxes for the Planeswalker decks showing the Origins walkers, thinking they'd be reprinting them, snagging Jace and Liliana for 15 sounds like a steal to me. But then after reading, it sounded more like they would be new versions of Planeswalkers.

Phaetion, why do you hope for that? Foil cards are more valuable than non-foil cards, so having a foil card in a preconstructed deck is an easy and inexpensive way to obtain one.
As for the next Duel Deck, I predict that the face cards shall be Nissa, Voice of Zendikar and Ob Nixilis Reignited, since those are the incarnations from the Battle for Zendikar block, and thus the versions that make the most sense for this product.

Because I hate foils. The only foils I don't mind are ones of legendary creatures but even then I have to contend with the hassle of them warping and bending. I am certain that a new player would not like to see their foils warped and then get DQ'd by a judge, should they decide to take this deck to an FNM or something.
Also, has there been an all-new card that was released exclusively in foil in the past 5 years?

This is great news, but I dislike the idea of announcing so many sets at once; it was much more dramatic to announce them individually, in my mind.
I am most pleased to learn that there shall still be "planeswalker-versus-planeswalker" Duel Decks, and WotC made an excellent choice by having Nissa and Ob Nixilis in this one; it is very liekly that their decks shall be mono-colored, but I am hoping for some nice reprints, and especially reprints from planes other than Zendikar.
