From SOI, what fact of the current Standard metagame surprised you the most? Did you expect a colour to dominate that's underrepresented in actual play? Did you think a card would be a staple and it ended up not being played? I'd especially like to know what you expected of Vampire tribal. It seems like there's some building blocks to a meta deck in the set, but it doesn't seem to get played much if at all. Or did you think vampires would just be a draft tribe?

From Adam Prosak:

Lots of questions here, but I’ll speak to the point about Vampires:

Getting Vampires (and most of the non-human tribes) to work was quite a challenge because we needed to give you all of the cards you would need in just two sets.  Our strategy for Vampires was to split the cards you’ll need for a Vampire deck among Shadows over Innistrad and Eldritch Moon.  So we did not think that Vampires were strong enough with just the Shadows Over Innistrad cards, but we hope that Eldritch Moon provides a significant boost to your Vampire deck.
