Did I miss something where it was confirmed there will be two mythic cycles? One card does not a cycle make. I remember during Eldrich Moon everyone thought that the three Collective spells were going to be part of a cycle or five, but they weren't.
Also, the Elderspell could be a black or blue mythic.

iirc, most of the speculation regarding the Collective spells being cycle occurred before it was made that escalate was only in three colors. Regardless, I don't know where the idea of two mythic cycles is coming from. I'm not saying it won't happen, I'm just wondering if I missed something saying that it will happen or if this is something people are assuming. I don't have expansive set knowledge, but I don't ever recall there being two five color mythic cycles in one set. We already know of the five gods which, given what I just said, makes me lean more towards there being five more non-cycle mythics

It definitely fits the crunch but I’m not sure or getting hopes up on that. Like we get a cycle with triumphs with each character who got defeated in hour of devastation. However, we did not get a Bolas Triumph in Hours if Devastation so that leads me to believe we won’t get a defeat!
MaRo said Bolas will be the only three color card, but could Niv-Mizzet still get a 5 color PW card?
Maro also said we get 37 walkers (with BaB promo) and they were all revealed in stain glass window. We know all the walkers already so I’m going with no on that one.
I can see Niv Mizzet becoming the Guildpact and I’m sure they’ll have a card on that if it happens
Looks like there is possibly a cycle of uncommon 'Bond of...' cards featuring two guilds that share a color teaming up. Given Azorious and Orzhov are on one, with Simic and Selesnya on the other, the most logical pairing for the other three would be Dimir/Izzet for the blue one, Rakdos/Golgari for the black one, and Boros/Gruul for the red one.

Which also means we can assume that #116 is the Boros/Gruul "Bond of...", and that #080 is likely the Rakdos/Golgari one. There's still a good number of spaces between Augur of Bolas and Crush Dissent to know exactly where the Izzet/Dimir one will land.
Eh not really a cycle per sa but a Mythic in each color. We got a red Mythic so out the 4 I think we will get a:
Green, blue, white, and black.
I may have called it a cycle by accident previously if I did I apologize.
Whether we get a finale cycle is beyond me but I’ll check the crunch to see if it fits but I doubt it.
Edit: a finale cycle fits but I don’t think wizards would give us 2 Mythic cycles. We will have to wait and see.
White and Black's second mythics are Gideon and Liliana. While War isn't a proper Ravnica set (in that parity is key), it is in a heavy multicolor Standard. So extra multicolor spells would probably be at a premium.
Blue's second Mythic - Probably a story moment relating to Jace and his Guildpactery. Especially if Jace dies, or in some way has to sacrifice something to mess with Niv.
Green's second Mythic - Probably a story beat to either whatever the heck the Simic are up to, or general old Ravnica lore about what Ravnica truly is.
1-3. - Niv, Nicy, Roalesk
4. - Another Mythic Legendary (in either Dimir or Orzhov as they have space). Either the old god that predates the Orzhov church becoming a new part of the lore, or Dimir shinanigans as I am full of eternal hopes and dreams.
5. - Elder Spell is probably UR, if Nicol Bolas is our only 3-color spell, which would account for Multicolor having 43 cards (Putting UR at 3 Rare/Mythic instead of 2). This also means the card is a bit more constructed playable as two color spells have an easier time finding homes than 3 color.
5 alternate. - If the Elder Spell is a monocolor spell, which it could be at rare in Black, then the final mythic is probably something Niv's plan or guildpact related in Artifact or 3-color.
In any event, every reveal gives us a bit more information to decree a little more of what's what. (Also I'm guessing Sarkhan's spell is probably Sarkhan's Rage reprint, or close to it.)

I believe Gideon and Lili are both already accounted for. We have the 5 gods, Niv, Bolas, Gideon, Lili, Roalesk, and the new red mythic. That leaves four open mythic spots.

Strange they spoiled 3 Eternal God's in small interval but Oketra is still missing.
She had a big role in Amonkhet with Gideon. I'm guessing for story reasons her appearance is important. I was really hoping they would spoil her today though.
I believe Gideon and Lili are both already accounted for. We have the 5 gods, Niv, Bolas, Gideon, Lili, Roalesk, and the new red mythic. That leaves four open mythic spots.
Given the number of times Sexymsjackson23 has listed White and Black's second mythic slots as open (like the reply I quoted), I figured it was safer to mention it. I appreciate the work maintaining the number crunch, but they list Gideon and Lili as 'separate' from the second white and black slots in replies.
I'm aware there could be three mythics in either color, but there could be three mythics in any color, the trends lately have been pushing away from that however.
The elder Spell could also be the unbalanced WB still missing. I think it was never stated that the spell needs to be in Bolas colors.
Fair, it feels more on brand for the big bad Bolas spell to be Bolas castable (and being UR means it is also Niv-Mizzet castable, which just feels extra on brand).
I suppose it could be the missing Dimir Spell as well.

But I'd rather it wasn't. For personal reasons.
(I am greedy and want more Dimir Legends.)
As I always state as well it’s all guesswork. We can get monocolored but we can also get more multicolored mythics. It’s really hard to say as this crunch seems a little more uneven than usual. The known stuff is we get 4 more mythics. The guesswork is where they will be!
We can very well call Gideon as the monocolored mythic for white and Lilana for black and have only a blue and green to be revealed. My question is where the other 2 mythics would land. We can Get a BW for multicolored and an artifact for the other one or we can get a second multicolored but again I haven’t looked at color combos so idk where they’d land.
Mythics aren’t really color balanced, so at this point it’s really hard to say what we will get.
Also the Elder spell could be WUBRG too, which wouldn’t be surprising. It’s hard to say given we have zero idea what it’ll even do mechanically, and story-wise it’s easy to justify as five color or any breakdown of Bolas colors because of who casts it.
Hey your right there’s. Second mono colored mythic cycle
This will probably be cal “finale of (name” cycle
Also, the Elderspell could be a black or blue mythic.

This is not tied to a specific mechanic, so there is no reason for the naming pattern not to extend to all 5 colors.
