How many new legends do you think will be in each C17 deck?

From what we've seen I get the impression they are just going to cram a ton of new legends into the C17 decks. From dragons alone we have Ur Dragon, O-Kagachi, Wasitora, Taigam, Ramos, and maybe more.
Do you guys think each deck may have more than just the three new flagship legends? I would love to see 20ish new legends to choose from
Generally speaking, I'm always open for new Blue/Black legends. I say cram away!

I think each deck will probably have more than the standard three yes. Although that being said it does look like there will still be the "main" three. However then I think there will be another one or two that support the deck but aren't the best choice as a commander for said deck. I think that is what the Dragon deck is showing us anyways and it makes sense to me logically. Side note Taigam is a beast on his own and looks really fun.

Hopefully are packing with a lot of great legends that are good on their own like Wasitora and Taigam.

Yeah I definitely think there will still be 3 main commanders. But Taigam and Wasitora are in the dragon deck but are incapable of leading the deck.
So we might see a couple in each deck that only have partial color identity, such as another Rakdos vampire or an Izzet wizard.

Hopefully green or white legends or any combination thereof

As far as overall, usually they do 3, for sure, plus a few extras just to suit people's needs. The c16 ones had a pretty reasonable number of reprints, I was surprised (and delighted to get the Terese Nielsen Hanna.). So 3 as a baseline, and anywhere between 1 and 3 extras.
First off, Gleeock, I would guess the GW cat deck will have some GW legends! Maybe a Gaddock Teeg reprint to make people buy it?
Grixis wizards...maybe Melek, Izzet Paragon? They usually find a way to split the strategies up in these decks so you have some pieces to play one of two ways. Without saying what the themes are there are 476 existing wizards in Non-GW to pick from.

Haha yeah.... I was thinking along the lines of being more of a bag of dicks with my Sisay deck. But, also Gaddock Teeg would be nice to have @ under $20 - also makes sense in any creature-heavy + low CMC deck

I mean, with Gaddock Teeg you wouldn't be able to run White Sun's Zenith, which I can pretty much guarantee will be in the kitten deck.

MindAblaze, I was referring specifically to new cards.
The dragon deck already has at least 3 reprinted legends so that was to be expected

Honestly what I'm wondering is if they're going to print more Magus cards. They already have Magus of the Will and Magus of the Wheel printed, we still need the , and versions of them. Which shouldn't be hard if they make the Magus a cat wizard and the Magus a vampire wizard.

dbpunk Magus of the Vineyard, Magus of the Library, Magus of the Candelabra, Magus of the Disk, Magus of the Tabernacle, Magus of the Moat, Magus of the Bazaar, Magus of the Jar and Magus of the Future would like a word with you :)
That being said there was already Magus of the Moon, Magus of the Arena, Magus of the Scroll, Magus of the Coffers, Magus of the Abyss and Magus of the Mirror before they made Magus of the Will and Magus of the Wheel.
So the current magus breakdown is: White 3, Blue 3, Black 4, Red 4, Green 3. So You could be in luck with them evening out the total number of magus!

LittleBlueHero I'm talking about the Sorcery Based Magus cycle, the other three cycles are filled already.

Ok gotcha sorry.
For green I would love to see a Magus of the Order (Natural Order) or Magus of the Stampede (Overwhelming Stampede).
August 2, 2017 2:01 p.m.
I feel like Natural Order would be harder to phrase. Honestly a Magus of the Eureka Eureka would be super cool.
August 3, 2017 3:40 a.m.
Or for blue a Magus of the Twister would be awesome (Timetwister)

We can only hope. However, you can expect about 10 cards in each deck that were in previous commander precons.
