The present day story finally gives us a bit of timeline and where everyone is as well as setting us up for whats to come in the next two set after this (bolding planeswalkers and planes since we will like see them during All Will be One and March of the Machine);
-Saheeli is helping Teferi with the time travel. She also will be the one leading Kaladesh in the war.
In the Saheeli X Huatli Saheeli says something like "I've been on Dominaria for a bit of time helping fix a multi-verse wrong" seemly after the Brother War present day storyline, so Saheeli is alive and well until whenever that story takes place even possible post-MotM). This does lead a bit full circle as Saheeli is in a way to blame for the planar bridge being discovered and then used by Bolas and Phyreixa.
-Wrenn and Seven where brought in by Teferi. She was on the plane of Cridhe which first in the story The Cursed Land, by Teri McLaren.
-Vivien and Elspeth just arrived which means the events of Dominaria United and New Capenna happened around the same time.
-Vivien also give our heroes the info about Urbrask and the group has figured out about phyrexia using the world tree as a way to stitch together the planes and is gonna both help Jace on Ravnica and then go lead the defense on Ikoria.
-Elspeth is staying with the Gatewatch and helping protect Teferi just in case.
-Dominaria is still waring with the phyrexia forcing there.
-Kaya has mobilized Kaldheim and Ixalan for War against Phyrexia.
-Jace has gone to Ravnica to get help/them ready. Also Jace reported Koth is alive, but thats kinda sus how Jace could know that.
-Chandra is on Zendikar to get help/them ready and is looking for Nissa.
-As noted Koth is alive and a pocket of Mirrins still remain. Likely All Will be one will feature Koth, Urabrask and the Gatewatch during the revolt
The red leaked cards from All Will Be One hint at the revolt happening

Episode 3 ends with what is heavily implied to be Teferi swinging and missing his time travel target again:
Quote from The Brothers" War | Episode 3: Sword One »
28 AR
...
The ghost walked toward him, dim blue form tracing an echo through the hot evening air behind it. Death, Aiman knew it. This was death itself, claiming souls to journey with him.
...
"Not yet," Death said....Death had a strange accent, like something from the Far East....
"We're too early," Death said. "We're years away, decades at least. It doesn't happen here."
Relief and confusion flooded through him. Aiman let himself hope.
Argoth line - Harbin, Gwenna (the elf who saw him crash on the beach and did not kill him as per the rules, dooming her home), both Titanias and the forest itself.

-Bolas aways feared Ajani since Alara and it seems until War of the Spark he purposely did things to keep Ajani away.
-Tezzeret is dying from the planar bridge in him and made a deal with Phyrexia for a new Darksteel body. He is also hearing the whispers of being compleated.
-Tezzeret seems to think the true-self hood of completed planeswalkers is still there.
-Tezzeret was the one to hire Kaya and sent her to Kaldheim hoping she see/stop Vorniclex and was the one sending info to Jace about Koth.
-Bolas feared Phyrexia and his first act as a reborn god was gonna destroy them.

"You can tell how dumb someone is by how they use Mary Sue"
it means Tezzert and Urabrask were infact telling the truth to vivien on new capenna
(How Tezzert knew his deal wouldn't matter if the phyrexians won was he would still die even with the darksteel metal for his body to save his life from the planar bridge inside him.)
maybe Urabrask found out what Tezzert true intentions was and wanted a piece of the action since they both have the same goal.
Darksteel Tezz? The metal that cannot be damaged, is virtually impossible for most powers to even shape? he could be a total beast. also could be a very cool card
also poor Elspeth, I feel so bad for her. someone help fix her!

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
For the record, I am really enjoying these stories, both in the past and in the present.
The episodes are vivid, graphic and visceral and really highlights the tolls of the war from an everyman perspective. It fleshes out the original narrative in a way the original novel and comics couldn't. I also like how the episodes connected the dots between the brother's war, the dark, and ice age while giving us some closure to the arcs of many major characters from the novel.
The chapters provide some of the most concise, thoughtful, in-depth character studies for jodah and the planeswalkers i have seen in a very long time. I think some of this stuff is brilliant, especially how they handled jodah and chandra reminiscing over Jaya which transitioned into a vow to save Ajani. I'll be honest: it almost brought a tear to my eye.
I'm *thisclose* to saying that this is some of the best storytelling i've read in MTG since the original Brothers War novel.

Now we know to a T there will be a Gideon’s sacrifce in “March of the machines” story line.
urza basically said it takes a single person sacrificing themselves to activate the sylux which explains how Urza’s spark ignited in the first place he sacrificed himself but the spark ignited pretty much instantly resurrected him since sparks trigger from near death or dramatic experience.
Squee has his last life now he might be the one to activate the sylux in March of the machines (he also wishes to die.)
Loved the part where Teferi was talking to Urza in the EPISODE, and the part of the NISSA and WRENN+7 battle in the CHAPTER. The part where Nissa was communing with Gaea and the events that followed... OOF~ Glorious.
The CHAPTER was ending so well until... LUKKA appeared. His appearance here is giving me some STRONG Tvesh Szat vibes for some reason... I do not like it.
ps. Glad to read that mah current bebe, Tyvar, is still shirtless~! They have learned from their misstep with Garruk back when he was cursed~

I would GROAN so hard if it's another white-aligned Planeswalker.

I kinda feel like it will be Nissa, making amends for things with the Breaking of the original Gatewatch and protecting the various planes' souls.
Could also be Elspeth, since the end of Phyrexia kinda wraps up her story nicely, but that would also be another Monowhite PW pulling a Gideon.
Personally, I'd like to see it be Liliana, who has been conspicuously absent, despite being on the plane and quite literally almost every other PW we're aware of getting nods in the story. Lili making the sacrifice play would give her the redemption she needs as well as pay back Gideon's sacrifice. She's also previously an oldwalker FROM Dominaria, so there's also that connection.

A Victim of Planeswalker compleation perhaps?
in the comics he died and became a ghost

Tocasia's Welcome, Stern Lesson, young Urza and Mishra, Splitting the Powerstone, Brotherhood's End.

probably the rare cards for the bros - Urza as Prince of Kroog, Mishra as Tamer of Mak Fawa.
Bitter Reunion as the moment they met again as second-in-commands of the Warlord of Yotia and the Qadir of the Fallaji.
Hostile Negotiation as the moment when Yotia carpet-bombed the Fallaji during the negotiations (Yotia Declares War)
And a key art of some kind.

"You can tell how dumb someone is by how they use Mary Sue"
so it means tamiyo and ajani are not dead
and I think I understand how they are doing the story’s here
Its so we get both episode and chapter 5 on either the 26th or 27th
-Tezzeret is dying from the planar bridge in him and made a deal with Phyrexia for a new Darksteel body. He is also hearing the whispers of being compleated.
-Tezzeret seems to think the true-self hood of completed planeswalkers is still there.
-Tezzeret was the one to hire Kaya and sent her to Kaldheim hoping she see/stop Vorniclex and was the one sending info to Jace about Koth.
-Bolas feared Phyrexia and his first act as a reborn god was gonna destroy them.
-Chandra got Nissa to come help.
-The Chandra and Jodah talk was sweet

it means Tezzert and Urabrask were infact telling the truth to vivien on new capenna

I would GROAN so hard if it's another white-aligned Planeswalker.
- Seems Norn is already sending her troops, since these are clearly white phyrexians unlike the previous story's
I kinda feel like it will be Nissa, making amends for things with the Breaking of the original Gatewatch and protecting the various planes' souls.
Could also be Elspeth, since the end of Phyrexia kinda wraps up her story nicely, but that would also be another Monowhite PW pulling a Gideon.
Personally, I'd like to see it be Liliana, who has been conspicuously absent, despite being on the plane and quite literally almost every other PW we're aware of getting nods in the story.
