WotC is starting to understand that Conspiracy and Battlebond style sets are great vehicles for reprints, but they haven't taken the idea far enough. Heres hoping they wise up and start putting enemy colored fetches and snapcasters in these sets

they're pretty careful about meting out reprints of high-demand cards. I doubt we're gonna see fetches and snapcasters in these supplemental sets when they can save them for the masters sets that only have reprint value

This should be "each combat" and "combat damage to an opponent" since an oddsmaker would be betting on all combat. It'd be cool to discard a card in a multiplayer game to gamble on someone else's creature A) attacking someone not-you and B) getting through. Maybe in that case the ability should be "At the beginning of each combat phase, you may discard a card. If you do, choose a creature. Whenever that creature deals combat damage to an opponent, you and that creature's controller each draw a card." If it's your creature, you draw two cards. If it's an opponent's you get to loot and they get incentive to beat someone else down.

Now that we have dual lands that only come into play untapped when you have multiple opponents, they should take the next step and print dual lands that only come into play untapped when you have exactly one opponent.

Fetches are below average duals without real duals to fetch which is totally fine, not every dual land needs to be premium

With the directive to put lands in every set, I don't think that we will ever see another 'monocolor' standard again. That isn't to say that a mono deck won't be viable, but I think that 2-4 color monstrosities will be the big players for the foreseeable future.

This makes no sense considering shocks and temples were both legal during Mono-black Devotion's reign of terror. Mono color is only viable when there are strong payoffs for it, the Devotion mechanic being the prime example, and is not influenced by the standard manabase.

Actually MaRo said they expect to print the same number of rare land cycles per year under the new system as they did in the old. That would mean that only two of the sets will have them.

I suspect we'll see another dragon's maze/DTK-like repackaging of duals in the upcoming third Ravnica block

I think it's blue-green. Wizards tries not to make two-colour cards where the card could be done as a monocolour card in one of the two colours. All of the abilities could be white, so any combination like blue-white or green-white can be ruled out. Flying and the conditional opponent-can't-cast ability are blue, while vigilance and trample are green.

See: Silence, Abeyance, Gideon's Intervention, Grand Abolisher, Ixalan's Binding, Nevermore, Null Chamber, Orim's Chant Trample is tertiary in white. There are plenty of mono-white cards with Trample. Similarly, while white is the main colour for conditional opponent-can't-cast effects, blue also gets it (e.g. Alhammarret, Circu). While it might make more sense for it to be green-white, Wizards tries to avoid doing that the same way they avoid making blue-white flying vigilance creatures.

It feels like it should be white blue because it has a similar ability to Meddling Mage, just with card types instead of one card. Whether Meddling Mage should be blue at all is another discussion.
