The Theme of "Battle for Zendikar"

From the currently reviewed 83 cards, I can see the followings: 1. This set is about colorless vs muti-color. We have many colorless creatures with " Devoid " tag while we get single colored spells that do more when we cast them with additional colors( Converge ) and also we have muti-color cards. The mana source supporting tricolor decks in current standard is not shrieking. Most tricolor decks we are playing now will remain. 2. We expect there are more cards helping us to cast the high mana cost colorless creatures( Eldrazi ). Ugin, the Spirit Dragon is the card I am going to analysis. If the mana sources in Battle can support Eldrazi , also greatly will they help Ugin to enter the battlefield in less than 6 turns. In theory, opponent do not control non-land permanents with mana cost higher than 6 in the sixth turn; Ugin sweeps the battlefield. But we don't know how powerful the " Devoid " creatures are in the set, Ugin can't take them down. 3.
