That would be awesome if the included hyper borealis as an in set mechanic.
I was thinking about the norse mythology and the 9 world aspect. Magic will probaly give it its own spin and go with 10. Now whether they go with 2colors or 3 colors is debatable. They could actually even go with 3 colors but instead of wedges/shards they could go with 2 colors and a hybrid of lets say 2mana/snow. That could be a version fittin the setting/enviroment which would give us something new. We shall see.
Regarding the planeswalkers kaya is a given and it was mentioned that there would be 4. I would think that ramaz would be the second and any 2 of the following 3, samut basri, calix(given they are from planes with gods) would bring us to 4.
Basically anytime there's curved horns, people assume it means Bolas, even if they don't have the very distinctive curve of Bolas' horns. There's curved horns on the prow of the ship, so therefore, Bolas.
There is that, and also the fact that last time Kaldheim was brought up was in Magic Duels 2014, where the plot revolved around a servant of Nicol Bolas, Ramaz, who was from (and returned to) Kaldheim.
EDIT: Inserted quote, because I forgot that reply doesn't do that automatically.
Not sure ramaz is confirmed to be from kaldheim as of now.
Looks like ships are in kaldheim so that means crew is probably entering as a returning mechanic which could also mean the sea monsters known in noise mythology are probably here
Also there seems to be a drake or dragon in the background
Yeah it will be a matter of time before cards get leaked
Based on angrath's description of the plane we know that there are dragons
A general theme with the norse mythology is sacrifice/tribute/offer to the gods. I am not sure that will be the theme with them but it would fit. They might go the modal route. I would be shocked if they only had 4 gods. I think the norse gods are more popular than egyptian gods in pop culture so i am gonna stick with the 10 god theory hopefully in tricolor themes.
People don't like what I have to say about a card game? Clearly CNN is behind this.
Does anyone have any speculation about how the gods will be colored? Enemy colored gods? I'll be happy to see new gods no matter what color they are but I'm really hoping this new plane will have a continuation of a dual land cycle already started so we can get the enemy color versions. Enemy versions of the Scattered Groves cycle or the Sunken Hollow cycle or even the Foreboding Ruins cycle. After building many a commander deck the disparity in available fixing between allied and enemy colored lands is getting pretty noticeably lopsided.
Though they probably won't be, i think that the gods should be 3 colored. Loki archetype is sultai, thor jeskai odin bant and so on. Reidane god of judjement sounds like esper to me and the other guy, god of wisdom sounds likes bant to me. I am quite sure however based on the names that the gods won't ge monocolored. Judgement at the very least is orzhov and wisdom simic or azorious. I personally expect to have a pantheon of 10 even if not all get cards.
Bolas was the focus of a core set, as was Teferi. Huatli I believe was the face of the second Ixalan block. And yep, Saheeli was the face of Kaladesh.
My bad since i failed to specify that i was refering to the block and not each set seperately. I am also referring to the story sets and not the core sets.
I remember maro saying when talking about the creation of basri that they needed a character with a white core and kaya was not eligible. Since the face character of a set is always mono colored does this guarrantee kaya will be black? Black is already behind with 6 monocolored character(getting its 6th in commander legends with tevesh) only tied with green(granted huatli hasn't gotten her green card) while blue and white have 8 and red has 9.
I don't think so, but its not like impossible. They really only have that big of issue for core sets (where they are trying to show off their divers cast of walkers or something like War of the Spark or the pw decks) and most of the main cast to this point had been mono-colored with the focus of the gatewatch. But we seen Bolas, Saheeli, Huatli, Teferi and such who where face and remained multicolored.
I mean as much as we are talking vorthos stuff, Kaya could be here since design needed a WB walker for balancing, and Sorin is slotted for Innistrad Crimson Vow, they didn't want make a new WB walker (as we are likely seeing a naive walker) and Kaya is a now a main character and a face of the franchise so she likely gonna be the default WB walker in the same way Jace, Chandra and Liliana are for U, R and B.
None of those characters were the face of a set. In ixalan it was jace, in kaladesh it was chandra in dominaria it was liliana if i remember correctly and bolas could never be since he was a villain.

Have these been debunked as fake?

I look at kaya and more and more i believe she will be monoblack

No characters on the packs though...

I'd have expected sonething like
