Who is the main mod responsible for this thread and for updating the first post?
Most of the updates to the first post have been by me (I'm not a mod, just the original poster), collecting/organizing information provided by Trollcreature and by mods TK-421 and viperesque. (I'm very grateful to them and all their sources. )
The updates labeled "mod edits" in red are by mods TK-421 and viperesque.

The new lands are a cycle total of 10, with 5 in Theros, and the other 5 between Born of the Gods and Journy Into Nyx. There is a very similar land with these in functionality: H____ D____

Halimar Depths is the only land I know of that is HD
What kind of bizarre thread is it where we are believing a brand spanking new account who says things that are in direct contrast with what TK-421 has been told by their sources.
I kind of trust TK-421 more than I trust a "Trollcreature"
It's like you can't even read the first post since you completely ignore the facts stated therein.
First of all, Trollcreature already established he had good info with Medomai.
Second, the information TK-421 was told SUPPORTED and added further credence to Trollcreature. TK-421's source confirmed a "conditional Time Walk" on Medomai. TK-421's source confirmed the "1 mana white enchantment swords to plowshares". TK-421's source even hinted the Thoughtseize was correct. Trollcreature never stated as fact that the green god was the 5/5 snake; he was pretty clearly guessing on that one and later verified that he was guessing on that one. TK-421's source did differ on the land cycle (based on Horizon Canopy rather than Nimbus Maze, and the confusion is easy to understand because both were from Future Sight), but altogether this just further shows that Trollcreature has inside info that was largely correct.
Its a U/W Legend named Medomai, and his deals combat damage is a Time Walk at a price.
Two days later, the MTG article Planeswalker's Guide to Theros, Part 2's confirmation of the previously-unknown sphinx Medomai gave Trollcreature credibility.
and from the last I heard (months ago) Medomai is U/W and was 5cc
Mod Edit 2: Medomai the Ageless 4UW
Legendary Creature — Sphinx
Flying
Whenever Medomai the Ageless deals combat damage to a player, take an extra turn after this one.
Medomai the Ageless can't attack during extra turns.
4/3
Update: Turns out Medomai's P/T is slightly better than we had supposed! It's a 4/4 rather than 3/4 or 4/3:
Trollcreature's other spoilers, with follow-up clarifications/confirmations by secret but reliable mod sources, are quite exciting:
But to clarify the enchantment swords. it should read close to W enchantment. sac~ remove target non-enchantment creature from the game, its controller gains life = to power. May also just be creature and non-enchantment creature.
Mod Edit: Chained to the Rocks W
Enchantment — Aura
Enchant _______ you control
When Chained to the Rocks enters the battlefield, exile target creature an opponent controls until Chained to the Rocks leaves the battlefield. (That creature returns under its owner's control.)
Don't trust me 100% on this. It could be Island instead, or even something else. All I know is that it's very flavourful.
(Note: the reason why I say Mountain or Island is that there are a few different Greek legends where characters are chained up and left somewhere, and a few different versions of each of those. I don't know which is being referenced.)
And finally, my source says that it's more Horizon Canopy-esque lands than Nimbus Maze-esqe.
Not the exact Horizon Canopy and friends. They think Wizard said its going to be brand new lands instead of reprints

Cleaned out a lot of text and added table of contents and headers. Should be much more readable now.
The name makes sense for an Island as much as it makes sense for a Mountain.
I care about Andromeda.
Naw, the person doing the mockup was just guessing. P/T is still unknown; all available info is in the first post.
Thanks for the new details!
But a question: Halimar Depths isn't even a dual.
TK-421, is it possible that that is a typo, and rather than
H____ D____
the source meant to write
H____ C____
for Horizon Canopy? Or was the earlier info on Horizon Canopy just incorrect?

Not so far, no.
No, he's just correcting Meowmeowzor's misconception that Nimbus Maze was part of a full cycle in Future Sight.

Medomai the Ageless
On August 26, a new poster named Trollcreature claimed in the middle of a speculation thread:
Two days later, the MTG article Planeswalker's Guide to Theros, Part 2's confirmation of the previously-unknown sphinx Medomai gave Trollcreature credibility.

Trollcreature's other spoilers, with follow-up clarifications/confirmations by secret but reliable mod sources, are quite exciting:

Mod Edit: Thoughtseize is definitely in Theros
Update: Officially spoiled at the PAX party:
