I'm guessing maybe Niv won't be in this set, and will show up in the 3rd act with his secret plan or whatever. So Ral can take the mythic slot.
If GRN follows RTR, each guild gets two mythics. Izzet's mythics then would likely be Niv and Ral.

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.
Well obviously Tajic got some fashion tips from Teysa. Orzhov Knights are known for their extravagant armor, after all.
I think he looks kinda cool, but his armor does kinda look like something I'd hang on a Christmas tree.

He looks ridiculous. I shudder to think what a foil would look like. Also, if we could get creature cards with more varied art, that would be awesome. Like, maybe they could be doing something other than posing. Like, maybe Tajic could be doing some stabbing, sparring, yelling at some underlings, etc. But no, we just get more and more posing.

Can you name all of the creature types with at least 20 cards? Try my Sporcle Quiz! Last Updated: 6/29/20 (Core Set 2021).
For me, the only improvement on the original Tajic would be to make him a 3-mana indestructible 1/1. That would be an improvement for my purposes. I guess if the new version is also indestructible, it'd slot into the board wipes + indestructible permanents deck as a 99.
Given that he's in the fall set, I feel like they're going to push him more towards a presence in standard/brawl and actual indestructible would be too hard to deal with for most folk, so I'm going to assume he prevents all combat damage that would be dealt to him or somesuch. OR, he's just got some absurdly high toughness. Like a 3/8 for 4 with mentor.
Actually! Given that Emmara has synergy with the mechanic convoke without having convoke herself, I'm hopeful that Tajic is going to instead have some interesting +1/+1 counter mechanic. Like turn all your creatures into Phantom Nantuko.

Maybe he grants Double Strike to creatures you control with +1/+1 counters on them? Or he could be to Mentor what Adriana, Captain of the Guard is to Melee.

You know... it would be nice if WotC actually did a knight that looks like they've been in battle a tiny bit more often? We get like... Alaborn Veteran and that's it? I know knights are supposed to be grandiose or something, but let's add a tiny bit of realism and beat a few of them up from time to time. Show a bent nose piece and a bloodied nose. Have a cracked shield. A chipped sword. Do something.

Knights don't fight - they posture. They have soliloquys. They use words like 'm'lady' and 'cur'.
Everyone's harping on the armor/helmet/sword for obvious reasons (and I don't really have anything to add or detract), but even the background doesn't feel like the banners/flags they bring to represent the guild when in combat, it looks like a backdrop of a photoshoot studio.

Knights don't fight - they posture. They have soliloquys. They use words like 'm'lady' and 'cur'.
Maybe the Boros’ proclivity for fur and extra shiny armour is the equivalent of today’s leather love?
Sheez. The ramifications. They even mentor each other.
The Vorthos community will await the consequences of the Eldrazi Titans' deaths/sealing. We will keep the watch.
