Marquisd Inspired isn't going to be in JOU. It would have been in the mechanics article for it just like Scry,Heroic,Monstrosity, & Devotion are. And there's nothing about monstrosity that feels like an enchantment, so I doubt they'd use it for something that's suppose to feel like an enchantment.

I'm guessing you saw the inspired card in the Pax 2014 spoiler. perhaps if you read the ask Wizards article where Maro said there was going to be Inspired you would have known that.
Given that we have 4 Rare strives I'm betting we get a fifth in red to complete a cycle.
No inspired in Green and 6 rares are spoiled. so if they are doing a cycle maybe in uncommon, unless green has an extra rare.
With Riddle of Lightning being reprinted and Interpret the Signs it seems we'll have a cycle of uncommon cards that scry 3 and do something with the CMC of the top card revealed. I'm guessing the white will gain life, the green will pump a guy, and the black will either shrink a guy or make an opponent discard.
Those could also just be a pair. Blue is primary in Scry and red secondary. It's certainly possible but I'd want to see a card outside those colours before I say a full cycle.
[quote] Eidolon of Countless Battles, Eidolon of Blossoms and Eidolon of the Great Revel, look to be part of a Rare Eidolon of Cycle.
I'm not sure eidolon of countless battles is part of the cycle, since eidolon of blossoms and eidolon of the great revel both have abilities of powerful enchantments enchantress's presence and pyrostatic pillar. Countless battles doesn't mimic an old enchantment like those two do, so I'm not sure it's counted as part of the cycle.
EDIT
I could see either the black dictate or black eidolon being phyrexian arena. If it's the dictate it would be a symmetrical effect and cost BB. I'm not sure they would do it on an eidolon because it would be weird to have it and pain seer in the same block, but if they did I would imagine it would also cost BB, but it's probably too close to dark confidant and it would probably be better than dark confidant, maybe it would cost 1BB.
I'd love for that to be the black dictate though. It's hard to think of any symmetrical black effects that would allow you to benefit from it being at instant speed.
If MTG is a part of your life, the formats are like relationships:
Standard/Block = The on-again, off-again holiday fling
Modern/Vintage/Legacy = Stable, homely. A ***** after absence/misreading
Limited/Sealed = Heart breaking free spirit
Commander/Cube = Agreeable, needy and expensive
Pauper/Peasant = Sweet, kind, practical, but shy and boring

But the blue Dictate already draws cards and Phyrexian arena is nearly the same thing...
I'm unsure if it's a cycle, but the Cyclops of Eternal Fury and Eidolon of Rhetoric could be a cycle of uncommon enchantment creatures that are based off of enchantments? At first I thought they'd all grant evergreen keywords, but I'm starting to imagine that it's just based off enchantments like Fervor and Rule of Law. Honestly I don't know what the others could be, or if they're even a cycle at all. Black could be something like Necrogen Mists? It's hard to say.
I'm still praying for that last dictate to be good.
