Maybe we can expect to see awesome stuff like Sensei's Divining Top and Bribery this time around. We can only hope.

The PDS series was profitable, but the company wasn't comfortable with what they had to put in them for their price point to move the product.

At least, that's what they said a couple months back when one of the company folk said as much on Twitter.
Completely understandable. Many prefer they spend their time developing commander product and I prefer they spend their year on working on FTV:Planeswalkers because we now have fifteen different planeswalker types Oh, wait, wizards didn't put up Tibalt on their planeswalkers list! If anyone's got an explanation on this I'll welcome it. Or did Tibalt bomb that badly that they don't want to recognize him?

Any word if it's all foil?

I would love that, even though some would hate it.

The possibilities here are ridiculous-
I'd best not set expectations too high.

Perhaps this is where the Medallion cycle will show up. It seems strange they would commission 5 really nice artworks, then never use them outside of DoP.

I hope this isn't all foiled, I don't like foils, it skews the colors. I'm one of those guys that wants all his cards to look atomically consistent.

Tibalt may be missing, but so is Tamio, and there is no new entry for the Innistrad version of Sorin like they did with Ajani Vengent.
So I would say your point is mute and the more likely thing going on here is that it hasn't been updated yet with the Innistrad block walkers.

Here's hoping for foil versions of the Commanders printed in the first Commander decks. I want foil Nin. So bad.

Your point on Tamiyo is valid, however ajani vengeant is still ajani goldmane, jace, the mind sculptor is still Jace Beleren; they just list the planeswalkers full name not each card he\she's been on. Also I think it's time for those eggheads to update that M13 came out yesterday and they have not strung up those names yet?

I suppose they could just be tidying up Tamiyo and Tibalt's backstory.

Oh yeah, that would be awesome. I really want a foil Kaalia and Animar as well.

Neithe is Tamiyo. They're just too lazy to update.
