So what is everyones guess towards dark ascension?

looks like Sorin Markov will get a facelift. Welcome home!

personally, I expect a doubling curse (effects of curses are doubled), and some strong mill cards.

What possible vampires/zombies/werewolves/whatever are you expecting/hoping for? What mechanics?

Let's talk.

I expect exactly what every 2nd set of a block is - the 'dark side' has the edge and plunges the plane into oblivion. Then Avacyn comes back in the final set. Definitely intrigued to see what the flavor is though.

It would be nice to have a "good ending" for a block for once. When was the last one? Future sight?

I suspect we'll start seeing cards that trigger some ability when transformed. For instance, something like, "When [this card] transforms, target creature you control gets +3/+3 until end of turn," a la Patron of the Wild.

Koth as a vampire zombie werewolf who flips into an enchantment that says: All creatures you control are red planeswalkers with the abilities Koth has.

Bah. One can dream.
Also, I have more posts than you. So clearly you should be going to Salvation, not me.

what would be a likely flip condition? They could start as duals then if you have more than 3 lands they could flip into single colored lands.... or colorless. Lands that flipped back and forth would be terrible, so it has to be a permanent change. Maybe they're colorless or single colored lands that require 2-3 mana to flip them; 2 seems reasonable.

neat random thought though.

Bushido is too self contained so I'm guessing they'd go with Flanking.

I'd like to see a little more boost for spirits.

Think they'll do a sort of Geist for other creatures?

My wish list:
1. A counterspell with a flashback cost that doesn't require you sacrifice your first-born child.
2. Zombie werewolves
3. Squirrels

That is all. =P

I can see spirits getting a boost, as well as tokens getting another enchantment boost (double strike perhaps, or haste or unblockable)

I could see a flashback counterspell that, unfortunately, probably will require the sacrifice of unborn children. Alternatively, possibly remove X cards from graveyard as addition to casting cost?

New Sorin, no surprise.

what do I really want?

THE RETURN OF URZA! the ultimate planeswalker.
yea..

Do you all think they will resolve the Innistrad story line within the block?

It's such a rich environment (and I think quite popular?) that I could see them leaving it open ended enough to return to in a future block.
