Also for the other conversation: MtG isn’t the only game to give its spoilers to the community. I know Hearthstone does it. And I can imagine other games do it too.
I’ve been checking the MTG twitter. The populate, flashback, madness, and morph themes are confirmed. I’ll see if I can figure out how to put screenshots up. If not I’ll put a link to the twitter (or both possibly).
We also get sol ring in every deck and 1 Planeswalker per deck. Hmmm if I had to guess on Planeswalker:
Populate - Garruk reprint (not sure which one)
Flashback- without a doubt Jace
Madness - Nahiri (the second one)
Morph - really don’t know who? Not many commanders do morph

The morph planeswalker could be little Ugin, as his cost reduction on colorless spells affects morph cards cast face down. Also, Tarkir is his plane, so he fits thematically.

Ugin
Ugin is a planeswalker with strong ties to the plane of Tarkir, where his magic, the transmutation of energy into matter, is responsible for the elemental dragon storms that once raged through the plane, giving birth to its dragons. This magic was derived from the study of the energetic patterns of entire planes—their creation, destruction, and renewal—and he has applied these universal principles to create his unique form of magic.[2] Valuing both the dragon broods and the humanoid Clans, he gifted the Clans with concealment magic in order to hide from the depredations of the dragons.
concealment magic Is morphing
For this case war of the spark ugin
Or probably a pre-spark or “can be your commander” ugin as the side commmander
(Heck maybe they do a weird loop hole of being able to do 5-color with him with “you can play colored cards”
I am a little disappointed by the Naya face card. 2/5 without any relevant combat keyword but with an attack trigger? Do they actually think that it works great because of Trostani, Selesnya's Voice stats? He doesn't fit in the Naya big size theme. He should at least be able to populate once a turn or have an activated ability for the populate effect and skip the attack trigger with that stats.
My suggestions was close on the madness and flashback face card at least. I really like the mono white flashback card. I am okay with flashback Jeskai but a little confused on the Sultai morph. Well at least they give sultai something new. Not the same sacrifice/graveyard theme.

Nahiri? She was white or boros, never Rakdos. Liliana Vess has a discard effect.
Edit: Wait a minute... he said that every deck would have a Planeswalker not a Planeswalker reprint or? Still I don't think that Nahiri would lose white.

I posted this same thing on the mtgnexus and someone bought up Nahiri there. Yeah Nahiri can’t be madness since she is white and red and the deck is black and red. My new guess would be Ob Nix or Liliana as both are linked to discard.
Also I thought Planeswalker reprint. That’s what I’ve heard anyway and yeah Ugin for morph the new war of the spark Ugin would be great.
They made the face card for morph deck a Tarkir legend, and chose Sultai instead of Temur?
Also disappoint, but they did it for color balance
According to scryfall, there are 131 morph cards in Temur and 129 in Sultai. It doesn't look like that big of a stretch. And it's also good to have something besides Animar.

You made a good point about Animar. Lore aside, it's indeed a good thing to share themes amongst factions.
Spoilers start with the commander panel at 6pm est. While the Amazing Spoilers and Where to Find Them article was nice it wasn’t super helpful for Gen Con. But fortunately last week Gavin gave us a gen con schedule. https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/magic-gen-con-2019-07-24

If it happens they better do it correct this time on a snake/naga legend

Sevinne's ability affects any spell cast from the grave, so Spelltwine, retrace, and aftermath mechanics all work with him. Nothing inspiring however.
