A X-Man will die in March 2016?

In the Marvel March 2016 previews it states a X-Man dies but who and how?

The new Uncanny X-Men by Cullen Bunn and Greg Land arrives in January but is a member already marked for death?

The Master of Magnetism will lead a pro-active squad including Mystique, Sabretooth, Psylocke, Fantomex and Monet taking the fight to any threats to mutants. In the post-Secret Wars world, mutants are dying after exposure to the Terrigen Mists. Apocalypse is rising again.

Warren Worthington will become Archangel again and soars again issue six in The Apocalypse Wars.

Magneto’s team of killers, villains and rogues will fight the Dark Riders in Uncanny X-Men #4, #5. This 90’s team of henchmen for Apocalypse were made of Inhumans who followed En Sabah Nur.

Here’s the official word on the ominous issue five:

“The final confrontation between the Uncanny X-Men and the Dark Riders! One X-Man is dead and the world’s deadliest team of mutants is eager to deliver retribution. But what price will they pay to exact their revenge?”

Magneto, Mystique, Sabretooth, Fantomex, Psylocke, Monet or someone else who’s not on the team? Who will die? Will death mean death?

Jean Grey, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Psylocke (kinda) – Death doesn’t always mean the end. What is Cullen Bunn’s endgame?

If you had to lost one of the new Uncanny squad who would it be?
