Magic 2012 - Gather Your AlliesGather Your Allies

Magic 2012 Expansion SymbolIn perhaps the least surprising set announcement of 2012, Wizards gives us official confirmation that we will have a new core set this year. Sure to generate a large amount of chatter is the subtitle for the set, "Gather Your Allies." Is Wizards taking the Zendikar Ally subtype and bringing it into the core set?
