Fall set will be wedge

Although many (I did) expected a wedge block, what we are getting is a fall wedge set. That's close enough. I hope we get cards that make the wedge dragons playable. Right now, they are almost impossible to play.

Every time a set full of mana-intensive cards is announced I am happy because it is a set that will have some pearls, but a lot of cards that will prove difficult or impossible to play in Modern. I am soooo over-spent that the last thing I need right now is for a set at the level of playability of Innistrad to be announces-that would suck right now. This is the fate of most cards from Shards of Alara, Ravnica City of Guilds and Return to Ravnica. Hybrids are the exception because they are easy to play in two-color decks.

In a year's time these five terms will 'just roll off the tongue.'
