You can never really predict how we're going to get information about upcoming cards. Some come from controlled spoilers on WotC's end. Some come from some jackwagon leaking information before they were supposed to, which spoils the surprise. It's like eating all 30 pieces of chocolate from an advent calendar at once - it feels good at the time, but then you realize you've deprived yourself of an experience for the next month and you end up feeling a little sick to your stomach.

Still other information comes from looking at products from companies outside of WotC for clues. This clue comes to us from the announcement of the pins that are going to be available at the upcoming PAX convention.

I know what you're thinking. "Harmonix has a pin? Is it a new Rock Band game?"

What you should be thinking is "Is that Sarkhan? Why does he have a blue streak in his hair?"

People online are already referring to the pin as "Sarkhan unbroken" which would indicate a few things. The first is that he's going to be included as a Planeswalker in Dragons of Tarkir.

What we can all agree on is that we don't need another damn RG planeswalker. We've had enough of those. What would be cool is a Temur-colored walker, especially if his abilities aren't all total trash. Still, a 5-color "Supreme Khan" could be a cool thing as well. It's hard to know what's going to happen, but I think the blue streak in the hair points to a Temur walker and I'm going to hold out some hope for that.

The Vorthos gets a little "Back to the Future" with Sarkhan going back in time and messing with the timeline and it's hard to know the implications of him messing with time travel will be. Sarkhan never goes insane? Elspeth is resurrected? They never print Treasure Cruise? Whatever happens, I think this collectible pin is all but proof positive that we'll see Sarkhan in Dragons of Tarkir and hopefully he is a good, playable one in good colors.
