I'm SO SICK of the "too strong for Standard" argument. It's the new "Dies to removal". We can have a two mana 4/4 with a zillion abilities, but we can't just have Accumulated Knowledge. Makes sense.
I refuse to speculate on FtV art ever since I was so spectacularly wrong about FtV 20 previewing Control Magic. It is clearly not my strong suit.
But I really hope the token is Kaldra.
Power may not mean literal tournament-level power though. It could just be impactful. They did FTV: Exiled and FTV: 20 before already (not saying there can't be more though).
Based on the name, I'm expecting each card to represent some point of Magic History at least.
Somehow I'm already suspecting Final Judgment for Kamigawa's (well, it is technically a "powerful" card with some sort of lore in it).
These days, some wizards are finding they have a little too much deck left at the end of their $$$.

As for the token, it basically falls to Kaldra (never in paper), Voja (never in paper), and Marit Lage (limited availability as a release promo of a not quite loved set).
What irks me are only THREE cards with new art. It used to be at least six....

Well that art says dream halls?Oh that's reserved, uh, Simic something.
On a more related note, From the Vault: Draw Spells? That's my best guess so far.
UBR- Scourge of Nephalia -RBU | WBR- From Above and Below -RBW | CRC- Dark Arts and Artifice -CRC | BBB- Fear and Revulsion -BBB
BUB- A New Era in Unlife -BUB | (G/W)(G/W)(G/W)- Honor and Horn -(G/W)(G/W)(G/W) | URW- Still the Mind and Quiet the Heart -WRU
The picture given depicts a Merfolk... No idea...
It could, if dream halls wasn't on the glorious reserved list.

What about a card with a token that has never been printed, like that sword from Kamigawa?
Dark Depths (Marit Lage token)
This would certainly point to Marit Lage being the Big Bad of SoI block.
Kaldra token, from Helm of Kaldra.
I don't see where they would print one and not three. Also don't see the Lore connection.
Nissa, Sage Animist
The token would be Ashaya. Not too likely, IMO, but...
Stangg
His twin. Not likely.
Tolsimir Wolfblood Voja
Again, doesn't fit the Lore theme.
Tomb of Urami Urami token
Maybe, dunno?
Tuktuk the Explorer Tuktuk the Returned
Maybe.
Of course, it may not be Legendary, or from SOI.
But I really hope the token is Kaldra.
It is Momir Vig.
Also, this might be the home to the leaked Azusa art.

Don't forget, we had Fyndhorn Elves! But what has Vindicate to do with the lore theme? I'm confused...

After all these millenia of war, planeswalker plots, the Overlay, Rath, etc, Yawgmoth was finally defeated!
I'd prefer to see that art in Eternal Masters over this. Don't like the foiling of FTV sets.
Love the expansion symbol and the idea of this one. Marit Lage token would be amazing. No idea what might be in this set though...
