Yen Sid is actually the name of the Apprentice, so I doubt that we'll be seeing him as the first Savior. Besides, it would be nice to see a non-Disney first Savior.

I actually doubt that anyone besides the Black Fairy is the big bad of this season. I mean, the Black Fairy has been explicitly teased since Season 3 and implied since Season 1. She's the mother of Rumplestiltskin, who is the cause of basically everything that's ever happened on the show. She's more than big bad enough.
