Creature type predictions, based on the heads of the keyrunes.
Boros: Soldier
Dimir: Possibly Rogue or Spirit; Dimir spirits have face coverings.

Simic: No idea. Looks like a Nim, but obviously isn't.
Orzhov: Thrull

The wedding is over. Now it's time for the honeymoon.
So, if we're going off what the keys look like, does that mean that Gruul stole a Rhynoc from spyro?

I fear I won't have much time to play Magic these days.
I get to watch worlds develop around me.
I get to watch great leaders, terrible oppressors, and trend setters rise and fall.
Limited, Standard, Modern, everything is a different playing field I feel I can observe, but will not actually touch.
I look forward to the stories I will hear.
And more so to the ones I will watch unfold first hand.
Isn't the unknown exciting?
Perhaps you should just send WOTC a resume and tell them why you're better at Magic than one of their employees instead of complaining here, where nobody really has any authority on the matter.
Edit- The Gruul Keyrune has a horn on it, with an anthropomorphic face... Maybe there're Rhox on Ravnica now? It's worth a guess. Also, the Simic Keyrune, of course, looks very deep-sea-ish. I'm thinking a kraken, though probably a very small one.
Additional edit- Firstly, an initial glance at the Dimir Keyrune makes it look as though it's Batman's own keyrune. But upon further investigation, it appears to have an arachnid figure crawling down it.
...My God. You're right. The plating resembles the head ornaments of cards like Cephalid Retainer. The tentacles also fit.
Cephalids returning would be the single greatest thing RTR could bring for me.:D
Cephalids were explicitly very Dominarian. Also, Simic just got merfolk, another blue tribe that we didn't see last time. The chances of the Cephalid thing happening I believe are very, very low.
However, let's think of what Cephalids are based off of. Squids and octopi if I'm right. What would be a great thing for a UG keyrune to change into? A squid or octopus would be pretty good. Or a very small kraken.
The point is, Cephalids aren't coming back, at least not in this block.
Zegana looks a little tentacly, maybe tentacles are a thing of Simic waterlife? Kraj was also a little on the tentacle-side, so the Simic aren't new to the thought of suckers.

Perhaps the tentacled ones were some how more protected from Kraj when all hell broke loose so that's who's running things down there now. Also: Boros keyrune is obviously an Iron Man Sword. For those moments when he just wants to slice and dice instead of blast everything to pieces. (I'm hoping we get a boros card that can be altered into Iron Man without just completely changing the art)

I hope the simic one turns into something stupid. Like a 2/3 flying squid or something. Some sort of trygon predator throwback is my actual guess, though.
Looks to me like the Gatecrash Keyrunes, and some kind of Azorious Hussar.

They say a new one is born every minute.
....Most likely in a Simic vat.

I think Orzhov is actually Iron Man.
Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor
Cephalid Aristocrat
Cephalid Retainer
(Thx to Craven of Epic Graphics)
There is a a 4\4 Rhino token spoiled to be in RtR in the other thread. So Gruul Keyrune could be a Rhino too.
Cycles in question: X spells (maybe not even a cycle), Hybrids, uncounterables, mono-color fatties?
Bat - Flying
Rhino - Trample
Cephalid - Defender
Thrull - Lifelink
^ is where I'm leaning. Not sure about defender but uh, that's in blue and green right? =O
