I would expect, or hope, they give us more villain planeswalkers. I know we just got 2 in kaladesh block, nahiri in soi, and ob nixilis in bfz, but there are far more good guy walkers right now. This feels like the perfect plane to have more villain than heros. my sepculations:
Bolas obviously : URB
Gideon: W
lili: B
Tibalt: RB.......I think both he, and the color combo RB are sorely overdue a new walker, and a slave plane seems perfect for this villain.
then possible 2-3 new walkers, with more focus on evil than good if 3.
Bolas seems like the perfect villain to secretly be creating an Anti gatewatch, and I personally wouldn't mind seeing that.
Maybe they could bring back Garruk since he has beef with Liliana and Amonkhet could have curse magic that's relevant to advancing his plot.
Is he still actually hunting her in particular? Last time we saw him, he was pretty much content with his curse and happily hunting planesvalkers in general. That does make him a useful pawn for Bolas, though...
Well he enjoys hunting planeswalkers, but I would think Liliana is still that elusive hunting trophy he has yet to claim.
People keep saying this but it's my understanding that the last time we saw him he made it very clear to Jace that he just wants to be left alone now. It was the case prior to Jace implanting a Hedron into him that he mindlessly hunted planeswalkers, but, again, afterwards he could have killed Jace as another trophy just like he killed Vronos, but he just told him to leave.

He was also bluffing with Jace, putting on a show of intimidation. As in actuality he was extremely weakened. As he knew Jace would be very hard to get. But the other guy? Vronos just stood their and basically took it as he tried to planeswalk away.

I'm just saying that we know it was the case that Garruk stopped hunting planeswalkers after Jace put the Hedron in him as the Hedron stopped the curse from spreading and lifted it's affects from his mind. Garruk was also completely capable of killing Jace as he had Beleren's throat in his hand.
The story I'm referring to, Monster, makes those two things very clear, along with the author's recap blurb explicitly stating that he doesn't hunt planeswalkers since the hedron incident.

Just gonna leave this here, from Blogatog:
July:
magicthegather asked: 0retty sure I know the answer already. Will there or could there be a common planswalker? With the popularity of pauper rising I don't know if it's something that you all discussed.
Not only won’t you see Planeswalkers at common, you won’t see them at uncommon or rare either. They are a mythic rare thing.
Yes, they were rare before mythic rare existed as a rarity
October:
swefox97 asked: Is it possible for a new planeswalker to be printed in a common or uncommon rarity?
Possible but not probable. Planeswalkers are a very rare thing.
Could be a mistake on MaRo's part, but could also support the already stated speculation about weak, generic planeswalkers serving as Bolas' soldiers.
