Sagas is a little bit ambitious considering how recently we saw them, but I fully expect some form of God card cycle after the last 2 Theros visits + Amonkhet establishing a strong expectation as such, and I have no doubt that after the Party theme from ZNR we will see cards from all four of those tribes prominently in the coming sets, and especially Warriors in Kaldheim and Wizards in Strixhaven.
I think the equipment part of ZNR and its connection warriors was partly setup for Kaldheim; I expect to see more in that space with this set.
I expect to see some combat related mechanics. Something related to fate maybe.
that said o want more Ripple and/or Recover. Both are underused mechanics that deserve more light in the frigid sun.

Ripple is pretty cool, but I wouldn't hold out for a Thrumming Stone reprint in a non-Dominarian set, though a lot of the Inventions were legendaries and showed up a second time on a different plane so who knows.
I'd like some Beowulf/Grendel stuff, maybe some Barbarian creature-type love with some kind of woad berserking keyword, dwarves, some solid dog cards, Icy Manipulator at common for the first time, Cyclopi, White-aligned Goblins, Land Krakens (maybe a kraken that is a mountain)
Snow has to be in there. There is still some cool design space with that mechanic (Instants or sorceries with added effects when paid with snow mana, More creature with snow mana cost or including snow mana as part of the cost, dual land cycle that cares about the number of snow permanents you control to enter untapped, and so on).
For some reasons, more Dwarves would be cool.

I think Snow is expected and coming back in a big way.
Model DFCs are a great way to have Snow card, one side is normal, the other is Snow.. Maybe even cast with Snow Mana.
Now for an extra tech... print Snow card.. but use MDFCs for a cycle of "<Place Name> Mire" Land -(Add B)// Shadowrime Mire Snow Land - Add C" make people choose what they play the land for and don't print snow-covered basics other than snow-covered wastes.
It would be interesting gameplay, making all snow mana in standard colorless (or at least tricky to get in colors), while allowing Snow Mana in Modern (and maybe historic) to use the snow basics.... creating different effects in different formats.
Please more dwarves! Gods would make sense. Please just don't do anymore stupid return from exile crap though ffs
Honestly I thought those Gods were awesome... and although strong, they were majorly outshined by other cards in the format like Teferi and planeswalkers.
I say change werewolf to wolf you know maro and the gang would not put werewolf's in not Innistrad besides we're going back there after D&D set and it's more regular wolve's than werewolf particularly fenrir

You could be right on that, though the reason why I thought it a possibility is the fact that we know it's a set with double-face cards. So maybe it's just a lil more likely than most other sets without the mechanic? Dunno. Could be wishful thinking on my part

I think Lycanthrope using just the "Were" should be a separate creature typing. So we have a general Lycanthrope tribal. Werewolf would be Were Wolf.
I'm a big fan of snow. I started with Ice Age, so I have a huge rush of nostalgia for anything snow related. My biggest wants from Kaldheim are
1. More snow cards to make it a more viable archetype for cube and Jumpstart-style limited.
2. Full art snow lands in a more "traditional" fantasy style. I didn't like how over the top "magical" the ones in Modern Horizons were. Something more akin to the Eldraine Secret Lair.
BUT, is anyone worried that snow + Scandinavian-inspiration steps on the toes of Ice Age? I mean, look at Hans, some people assumed he was a preview from Kaldheim.

Snow has a much more decent chance, but I wouldn't count your chickens before they hatch.

Innistrad - The Darkest Night
~THE RAVNICAN CONSORTIUM~
A Community Set
Commander: Allies & Adversaries
Thor, or The World Serpent
Odin, or Fenris
and so on
Kayas there.
so that means spirit is a creature type showing up over there
Spirit Warrior creature typing for Einherjar.
Valkyries will be Angels like Adarkar Valkyrie. They could probably have additional class type like Warrior.
I think Chroma could return as their version of Devotion. Each of the Gods in the set has a Chroma ability like one being a Light from Within.
Humans. Dwarves. Elves. Spirits. Gods. Giants. Angels. Elk (but srsly). Trolls? Kraken? Serpents. Dragons. Squirrels. Bears. Werewolves? Elementals. Nightmares? Yeti. Whales. Fish. Faeries?
Barbarians. Shamans. Warriors. Berserkers? Archers. Scouts. Wizards. Clerics. Knights? Peasants. Nobles. Warlocks? Clerics. Druid? Rogues.
Amphin. (okay, only in my dreams)

I'd love a Snow Creature - Kraken
The Leviathan one is pretty bad
|| UW Jace, Vyn's Prodigy UW || UG Kenessos, Priest of Thassa (feat. Arixmethes) UG ||
Cards I still want to see created:
|| Olantin, Lost City || Pavios and Thanasis || Choryu ||
I think we’re in the clear
the most important mechanic is here even though these aren't exactly confirm or not happening thing

On another note, I hope for ACC cards a la Commandeer, Fury of the Horde etc.
