Naturally, most of the talk was about Fate Reforged, where we immediately learned the nitty-gritty of what the set is about -- Sarkhan travelling back in time to save Ugin from dying at the hands of Nicol Bolas.

The old leader of the Temur was spoiled, showing that hybrid mana is now present in this block.

Other small bits of information were shared -
- A 'solution' for a colorless basic land has been found, and this will allow for a colorless Commander preconstructed deck to be created in the future.
- Tamiyo will be subbing in for Jace soon as the "de facto" blue Planeswalker.
- Fat Packs are in the process of being reworked to be "more newbie friendly".
What are you most excited about coming to Magic in 2015?
