This may be a long shot, but I'm calling it now:

I'm guessing that would put Jaya Ballard as the red Command-Walker.

[up][up]I think it's a shorter shot than it was before.

Also, I'm loving how flavorful Feldon is. I didn't even know who the guy was and I still got the gist of his character just by looking at his card. It's also nice to see more red effects that capture emotions other than rage.

Guessing was poor phrasing, stating the obvious would be more accurate.

The angel definitely points to Serra (Especially with Serra's Blessing tacked to it). Perhaps she'll have a lot of tap effects in the deck, since vigilance would synergize well with that? Possibly a bit of convoke... Mm. Otherwise I don't really like Angelic Field Marshal that much as it just seems only decent for a commander 4-drop when actually turned on, and mediocre otherwise. But I digress.

I really like Feldon in general. Seems like a really good choice for the red one.

Also, this may be new information. Specifically, the part where they talk about who the new commander-walkers are:

Three are characters you'll recognize from Magic's past, one is a character you know but maybe not by name, and one is a brand-new character but from a plane you've seen before.

Well, the chance of Red PW being the Lithomancer that helped trap the Eldrazi just went through the roof.

I really want to see some of the stuff for green. I like red, I like white, I absolutely adore Boros (here's hoping for enemy colors for Commander 2015), but If I'm playing one color I'm green all the way.

The cooling climate and injuries she sustained from Ashnod's torture lead to Loran's death years after the Sylex Blast. Mad with grief, Feldon tried to replace her with an automaton, but after he realized the creature was not really Loran, he removed its powerstone and placed the automaton by his wife's grave as a statue.

That story was in The Colors of Magic. It was the only multicolour story in the book, probably the best one and it was written by Jeff Grubb, the dude who wrote The Brother's War and the Ice Age novels and probably the best writer Magic has ever had.

Nice to see he's getting a card.

[up][up][up] I'm still holding out hope for a year we get 4-color decks and four-color legendaries to go with them.

Ah, four colors, possibly the only untapped grounds as far as color goes. There are exactly 5 four colored permanents in the entire game, one fore each combination.

And tragically, not a one of 'em can legally and officially be used as a Commander.

I remember Maro saying that they would be if Commander had been around at the time, but they don't want to use errata for that kind of purpose and they're more likely to produce an entirely different cycle than revisit the Nephilim.

I'm still waiting for him to answer why Savage Knuckleblade isn't a yeti but an ogre.

It's something that has been bugging me for a month already.

Okay yeah, I somehow totally did not see that one coming despite being the obvious choice. Wow. ._.

I'd really like to get it on my Shirei deck. Maybe the emblem is not optimal with X=1, but repeatable draw and lifegain!

Also: Green spoiled card in German/Deutsch (aren't those the same language? My thing-for-thinking is not working right now) http://www.planetmtg.de/articles/artikel.html?id=6787

I don't know what it actually does because I don't understand the language, but I think it's that old card where every player chooses a creature type and returns cards of that type from their graveyard to your hand on a stick.

Yeah, except it's an ETB effect, not on a stick.

Ah, right, I meant "with legs" or "on legs" or whatever. As in: It's that card as an ETB on a creature.
