The latest Uncharted Realms is all about Kiora and her quest to find a beast that can fight the Eldrazi, as well as her inevitable clash with Thassa. In the story, Kiora clearly indicates Arixmethes is the beast she has been looking for- she literally says it's "as big as Kozilek".
She fails to capture Arixmethes during the story, but she *does* capture the Bident of Thassa, which I suspect will be present on her next card. Given how much she felt Arixmethes was the answer she was looking for, I wouldn't be surprised if she returned to Theros, and used the Bident to sway the kraken to her side and whisk it away to Zendikar.
She also shows off quite a bit of her G side- I doubt we'll see her as mono-U any time soon.

I don't think arixmethes will show up, Kiora probably knows she pissed off Thassa too much to ever return to zendikar without being instantly Hero's downfalled. I was actually thinking we could see a mono-U kiora because of the bident boosting her U abilities, though UG is the most likely still.
Kiora blue comes from how she battles and thinks. A mono green character would have use pure force, while Kiora was only trying to destract Thassa in order to bond with arixmethes.

I genuinely hope this is the case. I had suggested this idea whenever we returned to Zendikar too. I am hoping that with the Bident, Kiora manages to successfully call Arixmethes from the aether to Zendikar and we receive him as a card. I was disappointed that she was unable to bond with him in the story though, which makes this possibility unlikely - but what if it turns out that part of the reason Kiora stole the Bident wasn't just because she could, but because she noticed it was what Thassa had used to steal Kiora's off-world sea monsters, and it was also the reason Kiora could not bond with Arixmethes while Thassa held it. MaRo has stated the Bident's tap ability represents mind control - so what if Kiora realized in the battle that Thassa's Bident was in fact the key to commanding Arixmethes and other sea creatures, as well as the tides? After all, we don't exactly know *why* Arixmethes did not bond with Kiora, but we do know he may have responded, since he had opened his mouth when she approached on her serpent, then closed it when she attempted to bond with him rather than devouring them both in one bite.
It'll be unfortunate not to see him in Zendikar because that likely means we'd have to wait until we Return to Theros or a supplemental product to see Arixmethes, and that is anyone's guess when at that point... I asked MaRo if an Atlantis trope was considered for Theros and he said "We discussed it" or something to that effect. So I have no idea if Arixmethes was saved for Zendikar or what.
At least as big as Kozilek, so possibly even larger. I think he'll be a 12/12 if he is released.
Also, I'm happy to see so many people excited about seeing Arixmethes as a card after this UR. Please let MaRo and Doug know about that if you can guys. People made a great case for Taigam so who knows.
