People have wondered how Kaya would play into Rav3, considering she is on the cover of the book. Here is a thought that I had this morning and hashed out with a friend--
In the second DOM installment, Liliana says that she cannot control a dread shade so long as Josu is alive, implying that she CAN control a shade if Josu is not around. A small logical leap would lead one to conclude that Lili can control ghosts, if she can control shades.
Is it possible that, instead of killing the Obzedat, that Liliana becomes the PW in control of the Orzhov by taking control of the Ghost Council? She would not become the de facto guild leader, therefore she would not need to become BW.
This could also lead to the reason why Kaya appears in Rav3--she is on the side of the Gatewatch, and she has to kill the Obzedat and take over Orzhov to rob Liliana (and therefore Bolas) of control of a guild.
MaRo has already stated that the Bolas aligned guilds are all lead by planeswalkers and that those planeswalkers match the guild's colors, therefore if the Orzhov are on Bolas' side, the Obzedat have to have been destroyed (or at least deposed), and if they were replaced or even just controlled by Lilliana she would have to be WB.
Well, We already had an out of nowhere new color for planeswalker, even in a Gatewatch (Nissa). Additionally, whole Dominaria was Liliana appreciating Gideon more and more. There is only one more BW planeswalker, and he is quite stoned right now. If they need it for pattern and story reasons, I don't think Liliana becoming part white is so far fetched.
As I don't see Kaya herself as Nicol's planeswalker commanding a guild, I think that's basically only another logical explanation what she does in the story.
Not exactly true, or there is some other contradiction in timeline. There is probably some common period, but not very big. Ixalan storyline's end was just several days before end of Dominaria's (Jace entering Weatherlight). Vraska though already is Golgari guildleader at the beggining of GRN, it seems. If she was able to seize the power in that time, it means Liliana could subjugate Obzedat some time after her, before Allegiances.
