Do we know if being a demigod has any inherent game meaning (i.e. all demigods are x/* where * is your devotion) or is it just a creature type for flavor?
The videos answer a lot of my questions. They show off artwork for upcoming cards, including the art for Klothys, and even confirm that Theros does have regular Basic Lands in addition to the Nyx lands. Which is phenomenal!

Well there was this dreamhack keyart floating around depicting the gods and their demigods.

I'm skeptical about this whole "underworld is leaking, Klothys emerges" plot line.
It's unnecessary.
Things have been escaping from the underworld for a long time, including since our last visit to Theros. Why not just make this story about Elspeth and Ashiok, Ajani's war with the gods, and Daxos? There's no need for a plane-spanning catastrophe every time, creative. Seriously. Tone it down. Then again, I can't accurately gauge how to feel considering THERE IS NO LORE OR NOVEL OR ANYTHING ANNOUNCED

The return after giving up their identity and becoming zombies isn't really a true escape Imo an likely would have stripped Elspeth of her spark. Could very well be that Klothys is either freed by the action of the story, meaning to or not, and thats is what lets Elspeth and other escape without giving up themselves first.

Here is an extra card that was hiding in the devotion video
There is also another card but we only know that:
Its name is "Staggering Insight".
Costs WU.
Its an enchantment aura.
Its uncommon.
Gives +?/+?.
also has a quote box for the aura as it grants them some ability when they do something.

EDIT: Also we got the art for the new god.
Sorry, but what do you mean as "quote box"? The video about devotion isn't on line anymore =(
When you say "gives +?/+?" you mean "gives +X/+X" or you mean that it wasn't possible to identify the information in the video?

Not sure how they broke their own thing on the official website.
Anyway to answer your first question, when I mean a quote box I mean things like Snake Umbra which give the creature an ability that isn't a keyword or a buff to their P/T.
For your second question on "+?/+?" the text is too blurry to make it out the exact buff to power and toughness.
After watch the video, looks like the oracle text is something like "enchanted creature gets +1/+0 and has lifelink and "whenever this creature deals damage to a player, draw a card".

Oh well here we are on Magic The Gathering where all white cards will be unexciting again. Another life gain effect on a legendary body. This time with a body that scales. Sure there wasn't another effect for the white demigod. We will see how good the other demigods will be.
Heliod doesn't looks like Heliod on that picture. Maybe it is just me but we never saw him with his hair tied. Thassa has her bident back. The new God has no demigod.
Constellation and sagas are back. This is cool. I notice that the spoiled green one isn't an enchantment herself. Isn't this a new thing? Past constellation creatures were always enchantments, didn't they? This could open up stronger effect on such cards, because they are no longer triggered when entered the battlefield by themselves.
Can you point me to where you found that god art? It is amazing.
It is from their video on the Escape mechanic. I just yoinked it with the screenshot button, cropped the unnecessary bits, then put it up as an attachment.
