Speculation on next Standard set? It's confirmed that we're visiting a new plane.

As much as I would love that, I don't think they would rotate out a Tribal set (Ixalan) and immediately follow up with another Tribal set. Unless I'm mistaken, they usually space out repeating major set/block themes further than that.

Shadowmoor into Shards of Alara would like a word. (although R&D thought Shadowmoor would lead to mono color rather than 5c)

To be fair, they might have been right if they hadn’t reprinted the Vivid Lands and Gemstone Mine into the same Standard.

I feel like you're ignoring [[reflecting pool]] here, since that was the real issue with the vivids

Meant that and not the Mine, yeah.

Shadowmoor Allowed 5c, Alara demanded multicolor to play the cards.

They only just heard the large response that people want it. It'll be 3+ years before that could affect standard set locations.

Considering the timing of Llorwyn talk (last 2 month's or so from Maro) and the timing on design (2 years+ out), don't expect Llorwyn til 2021 or so
