Zendikar Predictions and Conjectures
by Reinhart
Well before the release of each expansion I do my best to try and predict the nature of that set. We try to do this before any cards are released. This is not simply a wish-list of things I would want to see in the set, it is a strict analysis of the set itself [...]
