MTG typically do make things years later... and having a speculation sub-thread in the speculation thread is awesome.
It looks like that post is from before 'Baseless Speculation' was a thing.
1) Rumour Mill - talking about things that have been recently revealed.
2) Speculation - talking about things that are likely to happen with evidence to back them up.
3) Baseless Spec - completely off the wall ideas that may or may not occur without evidence to back them up.
You posted in 1 and it was moved to 2, but it didn't have the evidence to support the theory and the policy at the time seems to have been to lock the thread. Nowadays the thread should have been posted in Baseless Spec. to begin with. The guidelines page for that forum even say "Here, you can post ideas without the burden of evidence required in the main Speculation subforum. Any topic, any guess, any wish, is fair game."
In other words - your thread was in (what you call) the sub-speculation thread when it should have been in the sub-sub-speculation thread. That's how little support your claims had.

Rose tint my world, keep me safe from my trouble and pain.
We haven't heard anything yet about the lands in either Kaladesh or Amonkhet, but both sets will see enemy colored lands, based on the rotation:
Origins - Enemy ->Kaladesh
BFZ - Both -> Amonkhet
SOI - Allied -> Unannounced set.
Now, check the Number Crunch thread and you will see that the Enemy Fetchlands do not fit. They could go 3 in Kaladesh and 2 in Aether Revolt, but I don't think they want the Battlelands and the Fetchlands in the same standard, after the 4-5 color disaster of BFZ. The next possible set would be Amonkhet: by that time, the Battlelands will be gone and the fetches will be safe to reprint. After that, the next possibility is 2 blocks from Amonkhet, which brings us to Spring 2018.
If Wizards want Modern to be accessible to new players, they have to reprint the fetchlands sooner rather than later (and they want that money as well: KTK has been a great success for them thanks to those 5 lands). They also need to reprint the Shocklands pretty soon after, since they are going up in price.
We all expect enemy colored dual lands in kaladesh, but if it weren't for that then I'd be THAT guy calling enemy fetches in amonkhet.
What? I haven't read anyone but you say this. Why do you believe this?
Because we're losing one of our two rare enemy land cycles in standard (the pain lands) when Kaladesh rotates in and DTK/ORI rotate out. I don't expect fetches but with their claimed desire to keep fixing relatively equal among all color pairs in standard we should be getting some sort of rare enemy colored cycle to compensate.
Running challengers through a deadly gauntlet would be a good way for Bolas to discover a Planeswalker among the chaff and use them as agents for his nefarious ends.
He should call it the Dragon's Maze.
*Rimshot*
The description of the set makes me think that they might incorporate those monster challenge decks like they did in Theros. Players will get to take on the challenges of the five gods using a hero avatar card of some kind.
Angels are popular, so they may get included, but I don't feel like they really fit very well into the ancient Egyptian aesthetic.
Everything in Egyptian mythology gets tricky: I've always read of Maat as more of a concept of cosmic order that does't really translate to modern sensibilities, but apparently she was also personified as a goddess in her own right. Isis is perhaps the more famous Egyptian winged goddess, and there's a lot of crossover between the two, although I had never heard of Maat personified. Any time someone knows something about Egyptian mythology that conflicts with what you know, both are probably right, since the religion was practiced for centuries upon centuries in varying forms, and under different God-Kings. Anything any of us know is a tiny sliver of something with a lot of versions, which gives R&D a little wiggle room. Nicol Bolas seems like an obvious Amon Ra (the version of Ra where he is king of the gods).
A god based on Isis (or Maat) would make perfect sense in W, or UW, and I could see her having some group of angels, and being the "good guy" of the story. But, I think people are a lot more excited for animal-headed gods than winged women.
Also, if we have animal headed gods, I really want the animal to be in the type text. Crocodile God is totally different than God. Legendary Enchantment Creature- Crocodile God (plus the expansion symbol) is a ton of text for a little line, but if they cut the animal type, I'm going to have some harsh words to share with the internet about it.
Well... Every culture has its own concept of justice and morality, so it is normal for it to be different from nowday's sensibilities. And yes, ancient Egyptian civilization had been around for so long (more than 3000 years) that with all the political revisionism of their own religion everything can very well be in contrast to itself, depending on the specific period you are looking at.
I was kind of hoping for an inclusion in some way for angels since I don't really see them fitting in Kaladesh and may be in the Egyptian themed plane they could fit as divine enforcers of Bolas' law in some way... If you stretch them a bit... May be...
For the typing of gods, well... Probably you would see God Crocodile instead of Crocodile God. They may be crorodiles, but first of all they are gods.
Or like Theros' gods they might just be gods. As Iroas is clearly a centaur or Xenagos is clearly a satyr.
Having a
Legendary Enchantment Creature - God Crocodile is a bit too long to have on one single line without having to shrink the font and make it look awkward.
Obviously, if these gods are NOT enchantlments, the problem disappears.
Another note, I would like to see the inclusion of vulture-headed bird-men
Would seem cool to have at B or WB.
I don't think they will be enchantments. I actually hope they aren't. They don't have to be. If they are, that's a really fast possible return to devotion. I don't think they'd use devotion, but I'm not sure how they'd represent that transition differently. Maybe a "fixed" affinity, which would play well with Kaladesh, although I'm not sure you can fix affinity. Or they could use metal craft.
Because conservative bias is a far, far worse thing. Liberal bias doesn't, statistically speaking, make people stupid. Conservative bias (or at least Fox's version of it) does.
Stores should play Nile's complete discography during drafts of these sets.

Doesn't it seem like the art for Belzenlok (one of Lili's demons) fits in here? Looks pretty Egyptian to me? Maybe lili kills him?
While we certainly have to get to Lili's other demons sooner or later, the path the plot has been taking doesn't support that. By the looks of it, Tezzeret's presence indicates a direct continuation of the Gatewatch's adventures from Kaladesh to Bolas-ruled Amonkhet. Unless Lili stumbles across this demon on Amonkhet, this plane doesn't look like the site of one of her side-excursions like Innistrad.
I'm curious how the Gods will work here, since I doubt we'll get Devotion back so soon. I would love to see a "Devotion to [Card Type]" instead of a color something like "This God isn't a creature unless..."
W You have X Enchantments on the Battlefield.

B X creatures have died this turn.

I like this idea except your red and black ones.... switch both those to check the graveyard for those types and they'd be a fun cycle.

Lily got told/shown where to find the demons by Bolas, so it's entirely reasonable that one of them is a native of a plane that Bolas largely has control over at this point (he may not have had that control yet when Lili made the pact, given how he implied that he couldn't casually take on Liliana's demons for her doing something relatively minor and would demand some serious service in exchange). Even if they aren't there because of one of Lili's demons, Lili would probably take advantage of the Gatewatch going there to pressure them to help her with that on the side.
I'd be surprised if we don't see a reference to Anubis or Wepwawet. Ra, Osiris, Isis and Horus seem like fairly obvious choices as well.
I agree with these, though I'm not familiar with Wepwawet.

Phenax- Uhhh?

I'd love to see a cat tribal theme. Bastet was a Egyptian cat god.
I'd love to see Bird, Hound, and Cat tribal themes. It would be so easy to work Aven, Leonin, and Ainok (or some other kind of jackalfolk) into an Egyptian world.
True. I just meant she was one of many Egyptian gods. She was the only cat Goddess though.
Eh, sorta. She was based more on house cats, while her counterpart/sister Sekhmet was a lioness. Hathor the cow goddess was also an aspect of Bastet/Sekhmet, collectively known as the "Eye(s) of Ra". Bastet was the protector (Hestia), Sekhmet was the avenger (Nemesis), and Hathor was the lover and merrymaker (Aphrodite/Dionysus).
If Amonkhet's gods are tricolor, the cat god should be RGW. Logically, the bird god would be WUB, the three colors of aven. Obviously the jackal god's going to be part black because that's what audiences expect, but if they're being respectful of the source material, he should also be part white as a judge of souls. Red and green have both appeared as Hound colors in the past, so a jackal god could be any three of BRGW. My inclination would be WBR as a combination of Anubis and Wepwawet, but if there's only five tricolor gods they'll probably want them all to be either shard or wedge.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
I'd be surprised if we don't see a reference to Anubis or Wepwawet. Ra, Osiris, Isis and Horus seem like fairly obvious choices as well.
I agree with these, though I'm not familiar with Wepwawet.
That makes me think back on the Theros gods,
What creative did what cut up the aspects of the greek gods and mix them around to what felt right with the color pie;
Heliod- Zeus (personality, justice), Hera (marriage and had many overlapping domains with Zeus) Apollo (sun god) and his name comes from Helios (sun titan/personification).
Erebos- Hades (death and riches) and his name is from Erebos (darkness titan/personification).
Purphuros- Hephaestus (forge god) and minor elements of Aphrodite (passion goddess).
Nylea- Artemis (Hunter goddess) and Dementer (Season/nature goddess).
Ephara- Athena and Hestia (architecture goddess though Athena is more about building the city and Hestia is the protection and family elements).
Phenax- Hermes (god of gamblers and thieves. Phenax ability to travel the underworld also reflects Hermes travel aspects) and Dolos (spirit of trickery and lies).
Mogis and Iroas- They play with the duel aspects of war the greeks had with Mogis mostly based on Ares (god of blood war) and Ares sons Phobos and Deimos (twin personifications of fear) while Iroas has more in common with Athena (goddess of tactical war) and Nike (goddess of victory) with some of the more positive elements of Ares that the Spartans and Romans did.
Xenagos- Dionysus (god of chaos and parties) and the appearance of Pan (nature god.
Karametra- Demeter (agriculture godess) and Hestia (goddess of the hearth and family/home).
Athreos- Charon (boatman).
Keranos- The elements of Zeus (sky and lighting god) and Apollo (arts and prophecy god) not used in Heliod.
Kruphix- Kronos (time titan and the idea of elder "gods") and Janus (Roman god of time and doorways).
Pharika- Gorgons. In greek mythology if you took blood from the right side of a Gorgon's body can heal any injury, while blood from the left side will cause a painful death.
So it isn't as cut and dry, some of the Amonkhet gods might be mash-up of those from the mythology.

I laughed pretty hard at that pyramids comment. I think it was sarcasm that card is horrid. However, I would agree if they don't reprint Desert that would be a fail on many levels.
Desert has the subtype "desert". If they reprint it (which I'm aaabsolutely sure that they won't), they will utilize the land type further. That would be cool, I love lands with subtypes.
