So, Ok... this felt too much like a coincidence that's why im pushing this thread back up.
First... the OP on this thread mentioned a leak where a Norse themed product could be arriving near the end of 2020.
Now, Rudy from Alpha Investments posts a rumor video where he claims he received a tip that a Norse theme product would be coming after Zendikar. Snow themes reinforced, Squirels as the new "poster creature" .
Honestly, its kinda a bit too perfect... i think this is happening.
Berserkers
Runes
Maybe new Cycle of Circle of Protection ? Maybe new version?
New Gods
Would absolutely expect "walk" abilities like Island walk, Swamp Walk etc to return to reflect Viking mythos of travelling
Tribes
with Fire, Thunder and Ice, expect a lot of R/B synergy
Change the Runemarks to fit the Viking theme, and the favlor of the new tribes
Reprint Rune of protection cycle
Reprint Mother of runes and giver of runes
Bloodthrist Mechanic is brought back
Rampage mechanic returns ??

This is one heck of a necro
But how do we know rudys info is real
(it's around 5:34 for the norse part for everybody)
I would like Vikings/asgard and snow themed set asgard is Odin’s kingdom in norse mythology
If true my tin foil hat is commander legends set will prep up for that set (use some art reviews like origins did with kaladash)

Rudy had other videos earlier in the year, not to actually spread leaks or anything like that, but to tell people that people leak inside information about magic products frequently and to tell people about how bad WTOC is at controlling the leaks, and also as a way to show that there is a LOT of fake crazy leaks out there.
His focus is entirely on MTG Finance, so he has done videos on inside trading in the past... but even as he caters to his own pocket as an investor, he does a lot of educational content to try inform people to not be taken by FOMO, understanding the value proposition of MTG products and specially on people wanting to invest in magic and how not to screw yourself trying to gamble on MTG to make money, specially with product speculation and insider trading between WOTC big leakers and some of the major stores and distributors on the market.
So he does have a recent story on those topics, but his entire point is not to "sell" his brand as a leaker, but more of a "Beware that there are a LOT of leakers and people use that information to manipulate value of MTG products on the market". And being a MTG Finance guy he gets a LOT of leaks sent his way and now he is filtering some stuff forward ahead of time.
IF this is confirmed and after Zendikar we have a Norse themed set, it proves a lot of what he has been saying over the past few months which is good insight and helpful, but also serves as a good warning.
Plus, i only buy in sets that i like the themed, i loved Eldraine, and i'll gladly skip Zendikar with no Eldrazi and price bloat due to fetchlands, if that means i can save up to buy into a cool unique themed set with Vikins early next year...
Would be an excellent time to piggyback a Norse themed set when Assassin's Creed Vikings is due out in December. Both could benefit from the hype of the other.

Eh Viking/Norse set is most requested top-down world not made so far so I think this a safe bet to say one is coming up sometime soon.
