Thats a highly positive expectation...if we are lucky the set will be delayed for 1 or 2 months, and then if its still not out.... we start worrying for the future of the game Barring any delays from the transition to the new team, they've actually gotten really speedy about releasing cards from new sets into the game. Eldritch Moon, for example, launched in paper form end of July but didn't make it into the game until sometime in October that year. Kaladesh shortened its release time down from three months to about two, and the trend continued to the point that Hour of Devestation's cards were put up for preview only a week after the paper set launched.I would anticipate a quick turn around on getting Ixalan into the game as new cards more than anything else are the money maker for the developers.

Never said that the people in charge have changed, but they are part of the transition regardless and are going to have some growing pains associated to that transition phase. I was referring to the new devs taking over the reins from Hibernium as they've a long ways to go to understand what was left behind and what they can do with that information to provide the finished product that "D3 dictates they do." D3 is about Production which takes place after Development which is responsible for creating whatever is up on the development board in putting it into action. D3 just has to maintain it once it's been integrated.
Here is a great statement explaining the difference:
"The main workflow for online work is: development -> staging -> production. The reason for the separation is based on the knowledge that you're working on a code-base with a team.Developers work on bugs and features, these get committed and pushed to a stable development branch. All of these changes get merged into staging which undergoes testing and quality assurance. After this, development is rebased using staging. Then development merges into production when you're ready to deploy.The development branch contains new code from your dev team that have not been tested yet on a mock server that imitates your production server. Your production server is actually production and usually runs with different error logging and warning message suppression. Development is allowed to fail, production is often not."

Put it into your graveyard afterwards.-18: Sing-along "Dinosaur" with your opponent. (D-I-N-O-S-A-U-R a dinosaur )(to roar, shake the board - doesn't affect gameplay but it looks cool)

Because he has repeatedly said that he does not have that information to convey to the public and would once he had something concrete. He did say that Ixalan was not off the table but knew nothing more than that.

I wouldn't be opposed to the release being postponed, there are enough stability issues and, of course, the pending crafting system to forgive a delay. I guess it depends on the new studio's priorities.
