Would be thrilled to see the format nuked from orbit and about a dozen things banned. But realistically speaking, it's likely Bridge, Altar, or Hogaak itself. Going on the past decisions of trying to ban older cards and enablers, it'll likely be Altar and/or Bridge. Nothing fair or good is ever done with either of those cards.
Edit: also, while I would love to see Faithless Looting banned (despite owning four foil signed copies), I don't think they have the guts to do what needs to be done to help reign in the ridiculous graveyard abuse. And this would be above and beyond nuking Hogaak from orbit.

Just want Bridge and Looting; though, I'm still predicting a "no change".

My prediction: Looting banned, SFM unbanned. (pretty much gonna burn a candle for SFM until they get it right)

I'd be fine with just bridge from below being banned. I don't think looting will be banned tomorrow if it hasn't already been banned and I think that banning Hogaak or altar right after release would be foolish. I don't think they're that bad without bridge and if they are ban them later

I think we collectively have a short term memory on how obnoxious Looting decks were, long before Hogaak.
They have the power to nip that in the bud tomorrow, but I don't think they have the guts to do what needs to be done for long term health of the format. So long as they keep printing ways to abuse the graveyard, Faithless Looting remains the oil that keep the machines running smooth.

Voted Bridge, but could've voted "Nothing." I struggle to see Wizards acting on Looting today if they didn't act on Stirrings for all of 2018. I especially struggle to predict action with an MC in a month.
If Hogaak is truly broken, an assessment I don't have the data to make, then Wizards will probably go after the most egregious mana-cost/cheat offenders. See previous Storm, Amulet, KCI, Infect, Eldrazi, etc. examples. Bridges and Hogaak are the most glaring offenders in that regard, and I can see Wizards being hesitant to axe a sweet new card from a sweet new set.
