Everything I had seen has been (too obviously) been leading up to Yensid as the sorcerer. It also seems as though Yensid is among the top consistent theories of who this sorcerer is. However, I just came across this interview where Yensid has very bluntly been ruled out:

"TVLINE | Would you want to rule out one fan theory, that the Sorcerer will turn out to be Yen Sid? KITSIS | The sorcerer from Fantasia? Yeah, we can rule that out. HOROWITZ | The Fantasia story is a jumping off point. We have something else in mind for the Sorcerer’s background."

So now I feel very strongly that it would be Merlin. Any thoughts?
