I wonder how many relevant teams will see and if they all be color pair based. Ie Blue and White character on a team. Or will it be a WU and WG as a team.
I wonder if, just like how law magic is a natural phenomenon on Ravnica, competition has a natural basis on Kylem?
Could be ...wonder if this is the sinister battleworld or the good type.
Considering that this is the MTG Multiverse, I'm leaning towards sinister. Who knows though? It could be a world founded on fair and just competition. Even then, there should be some devious elements, like match-fixing, bribes and such.
To be fair we have no idea what Bolas knows or does not know.
We know he has used extensive networks of agents in the past so I would be surprised if he has people on many planes.
I also expect Planeswalkers
Then where's my Faerie and Kithkin spy network?
On a serious note, I know that we don't know all of what he knows, but I meant that we haven't been shown that he knows anything about some of these worlds.

Well a spy network wouldn’t be very good at their job if everyone knew about their locations of interest lol
I wouldn’t put it past him to have one or two agents on a few backwater planes though.
I’d love to know how they communicate their information to him. There has to be several middlepersons between themselves and their lord.
Does he use interplanar communication devices? Does he have eternally damned switchboard operators?
Who knows. But I’m excited for Battlebond!

Lol I just saying Bolas is always on the hunt for useful servants so a world all about fighting in tournaments would be of interest to him considering how he setup Amonkhet.
I'd guessing this where Vivien might be introduced.
I like the city vibe from this world, a lot more sleek and technological looking than Ravnica.

Sea of Clouds is gorgeous. My favorite of them. I do wish that land specifically was set on Kamigawa or Theros though. Sounds like a Soratami land. But they made a new plane for this set, which I'm kinda not really feeling. But it is what it is. Kinda fun concept still. I like Luxury Suite as well.
Also looks like homunculi and cyclopes are native to the plane.

I like the flavor of the Rakdos land BR without bathing in blood. Art wise though Sea of Clouds and Spire Garden the best art in my book.
Likewise. As much as I like Ravnica, I found WotC had been relying too much on the plane's popularity in designing their cards, hence we rarely get non-combat Boros cards after it. Luxury Suite is an excellent way to portrait the other side of Rakdos; a taste for violence amongst vanity, but not actively or aggressively so.

Which should be a surprise to no-one who's known you for longer than a day. At least Kamigawa makes some sense, from what I know of that plane, since it could be reworked as a moonfolk-themed land (as you mentioned).
But they made a new plane for this set, which I'm kinda not really feeling.
This is like Conspiracy in that sense that a new plane is par the course. This isn't a Core set or Commander set where you're more likely to revisit older planes.

I'm thinking the opposite, when they announced the set they mentioned that people don't fight to the death and team work encouraged. That said I'd doubt if there want anything shady happening, but from how things looks it seems more along the lines of Ixalan and Kaladesh.

I love Theros, but Theros has as lot of cool, unique lands associated with it already.
Let other planes get their cake.
I like Kylem so far.
I'd like to have Sea of Clouds be Kamigawa themed though. With Soratami in a Commander product. Who knows, it could happen. More Kamigawa themed cards in EDH products needs to happen in general if we can't revisit.
My playgroup and I loved Luxury Suite btw. It's so unique for a land and I love the art.
We got a better look at the lands, they really look like they depict one place.
Sea of Clouds - the entrance to Valors Reach or its backside
Spire Garden - Valors Reach
Bountiful Promenade - a market place near the tower?
Luxury Suite - inside the arena
Morphic Pool - beneath the arena, the part of the flavor text suggests, that it creates the battle ground inside the arena.

We expecting planeswalkers? Conspiracy did.

I'd be surprised if Kylem has no native walkers whatsoever.
I am sure Lord Bolas will be there to Recruit.
He loves those Battleworlds. Plus pairs are good, they can spy each other for you.
Kylem is probably one of those worlds Bolas either won't be shown to pay attention to or doesn't even know exists, like Fiora and Lorwyn.
We know he has used extensive networks of agents in the past so I would be surprised if he has people on many planes.
