Chances for Emrakul being in this set: 0% (Emrakul is not on Zendikar anymore.)
Chances for Inquisition of Kozilek being in this set: 0% (Eldrazi-flavored spells must have devoid now, making this reprint impossible in this set.)
Emrakul is going to Kamigawa. Ravaged by the Kami War, men and spirit have to fight together to battle a new threat! You heard it here first!
But yeah, I agree. I'ld be surprised at any high profile reprints to be honest. They're perfect to build hype because they're a known quantity.
She is not an Eldrazi card. She is a Kor.
(I suppose you were making a joke, but I want to make it clear that it is completely impossible that Inquisition is in this set, since it lacks devoid.)

In theory it is still possible that IoK is in the set, right? I mean, it is not likely, but neither impossible. Is there a reliable source saying that all eldrazi cards now are colorless?

If im not mistaken, Remorseless Punishment features a mortal getting consumed while friendly eldrazi are looking on - ie is a black spell withouot devoid.
That spell is cast by Ob Nixilis.

Ob Nixilis only stirred Kozilek awake.The friendly onlooking eldrazi are simply that. Onlooking.The eldrazi could not be bargained with. They take no sides. They simply warp, devour and corrupt. I'm sorry. I really want an IoK reprint, but it's not gonna happen since all Eldrazi spells have devoid.
That spell is cast by Ob Nixilis.
Sure, but the eldrazi are by the sideline looking on, they are not the sufferers of the spell. Which leads me to think Ob Nixilis maybe side with them (giving us inqusition) or at least see them as neutral (giving us a functional reprint xD)- its highly unlikly, but plausible (at least the first one).
*note* I know nothing or the lore if even ob nixilis would consider siding with the eldrazi.

Mark Rosewater said that Eldrazi spells are either true colorless or devoid. They won't break this rule just to reprint an expensive uncommon. Especially since we got a similar card in BFZ already: Transgress the Mind. Speaking of which, there is a second reason why Inquisition of Kozilek won't be in OGW: It discards the chosen card, while all other Eldrazi "discard" effects in the current block exile the chosen cards, since exiling is a major theme for them now.
"Then Ayli was seen again in our current visit to Zendikar, and her true intentions became clear. She drew Jace and Jori into a trap, with the intention of offering them as a sacrifice to Ulamog. While the trap ultimately failed, we saw that Ayli's faith did not in fact change. While the Eldrazi weren't what she imagined, they were still gods, and ritual sacrifice was still required. Perhaps the chalklike dust the Eldrazi left behind was seen as the true world by Ayli and others who shared her faith."
I knew that and it has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Ayli is a follower of the Eldrazi (I never denied that), but she it not an Eldrazi herself. Therefore, she is not colorless (neither truly nor devoid). Every single Eldrazi and all their spells on the other hand are colorless (either due to a generic cost or due to the devoid mechanic).

All good points which make a reprint unlikely, but not impossible
