There used to be a magic humor site called Misetings that would put up mock spoilers of new sets with funny cards. Always thought they were much funnier than the un stuff. (My favorite card was Hurricane For Three For Six)

I'm 100% sure I liked Misetings because I was 16 as fuck, and not because it was actually funny

DISNEY PRINCESS TRIBAL OR RIOT
"You know Jace, we really are the Force of Will."
Announcement day!
- "Rise Among the Worthy" on the plane of Amonkhet. Discover a world ruled by Nicol Bolas when the first set of the Amonkhet block releases April 28, 2017.
- Nicol Bolas is among the most powerful beings in the Multiverse—don't face him alone! Much like the original Archenemy release, Archenemy: Nicol Bolas pits you and two friends against a single powerful foe where you must work together to survive—or fall to Nicol Bolas himself.
- The second set in the Amonkhet block, Hour of Devastation, releases July 14, 2017.
- In the same spirit as Duel Decks: Anthology and Planechase Anthology, Commander Anthology gathers four previous Commander products together in one convenient package, releasing June 9, 2017.
- Draft like a master once more as we release Modern Masters 2017 Edition March 17, 2017—featuring cards from Eighth Edition through Magic 2014, including new trips through Innistrad and Return to Ravnica.
- Brains or brawn? Cunning or strength? Test your guile and brute force with Duel Decks: Mind vs. Might, releasing in May of 2017.
- Updates to Magic: The Gathering: Puzzle Quest are here, with Kaladesh content!
Egyptian world ruled by Bolas. HYPE!
I think this kinda confirms someone working for Bolas in Kaladesh.

Egyptian set!!!!!!!!
I suspect this will also be part of their strategy for shipping a multiplayer and a spikey reprint set every year -- nobody's going to think MM3 + this thing is too much the way that EMA + CN2 felt for some people.
Yeah, this product uncharacteristically sucks compared to these other announcements. When he said "Commander Anthology" I got excited for a second that they'd put out a box that just reprinted all five Commander 2011 decks, but instead it's this mess.
i shoulda been there

Eh arch-enemy was easily the worst supplemental product they made. Played it once and never again.

I was just checking that and no it does not, what's even the point of it then?
The other thing I like is that they went out of the way to mention that there are no new cards in archenemy. My hope is that the reprints in here are also all casual/EDH cards, so that if you are a Spike you can ignore the existence of the product.
Cause they are putting out a TON of product

Are you aware that the Heavenly Inferno deck is worth about $150?

Super duper curious how they keep environmental design in the Egyptian set from being one note. I feel like the look of Abzan environments is probably a decent approximation of where they're going to start, but I want to see how they flesh that out into a plane.
That's a big no thanks for me.
So Chandra and the two new walkers in this set?
Perhaps they're trying something new.
There's been a hard cap on how long a set has to be OOP before it can get Mm reprints.
It's not entirely clear to me if Nicol Bolas is ruling in secret behind the scenes or if everybody knows who he is and what's up on the plane. Also a shocking lack of new art - just the Amonkhet backdrop and the new Chandra art. In the wallpaper section there is something for a character named Rashmi but you can't click on anything to open up the actual wallpaper.

I thought Innistrad was from 2009 but apparently it's from 2011, which makes sense at least.
She's the character from the new Magic Story: A Time for Innovation, there's some new Kaladesh art in there too.
The art we have is liberally decorated with his horn symbol, so he isn't doing a great job staying behind the scenes if that is the case.

Hmm...torch of defiance. I'm gonna guess that her abilities are
+1: Burn
-2: Burner
-6: Burnest

MM has always been set limited. MM1 8th thru just before zendikar, MM2 was 8th to New Phyrexia. Except minus infect because apparently it wasn't fun.
If she's working against the ruling faction in Kaladesh maybe they should have one of her modes be blowing up or otherwise dealing with artifacts. Obviously don't pigeonhole this card as a sideboard Planeswalker, but make her good at that among other things. And that'd just give Chandra a little more mechanical space than fire.
