Not sure what the other wedges are, but there might be clues in existing multi-color cards that are found in packs (rather than the buy-a-box), such as Corpse Knight and Ironroot Warlord possibly hinting at a 'go wide' Abzan strategy.
Obviously, as we get more spoilers, these themes will become more obvious, but I couldn't think of where to put this thread besides here, since we don't know yet.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

Looks like we might be getting Temur elementals, based on Risen Reef and Creeping Trailblazer.
I suspect Jeskai is Flying with prowess trigger type stuff, based on stuff like Empyrean Eagle, Kykar, Wind's Fury, and Flame Sweep.
