Speaking of the art in the packs, since we always get at least one PW in the arts (since Fate Reforged at least), do you think that Sphinx is a PW?
If I recall, people who were at the Hasbro toy fair (where they were first revealed) said they were told the woman was a new planeswalker. Which if true, leaves me with lingering arlinn kord/saheeli rai irrelevancy vibes.
Did they say that? She looks WB to me, which would be odd with mono-W Gideon and mono-B Lili already in the set. If she is a PW, it would be cool if she is based on Cleopatra and ends up going to Theros someday and becoming relevant there.
Well I'd love for that sphinx to be a nice card draw walker... but not getting my hopes up there as that femal looking one that looks like cleopatra definitely has a PW pose
The way these pictures are drawn, there is no way for a head to be on the Ibis or the Snake.
The other three have fairly obvious heads wearing masks.
Hmmm

I think that the necks on both the Cat and the Jackal are also slightly too long to be proportional to a simple human form wearing a mask. Both of them would have their chins starting at the very bottom of the masks, but neither mask is really shaped properly to allow for that.

She strikes me as scholarly. I think she definitely has to have some blue. Which would still be odd considering Nicol Bolas and whoever the 5th PW will be in hour of devastation. There'd be a lack of green. Maybe she's blue green.
IF they're allied colors, I would expect the UBR one to be missing, since those are Bolas's colors. Seems like he'd be filling the role of that God.
That's what I thought, too, until they revealed five non-Bolas gods.
Now I have a different theory:
The population of Amonkhet have never actually seen Bolas.
I suspect Bolas then finally manifests in Hour
and destroys the five gods in a flashy display to the people of Amonkhet,
as an unmistakable reminder of who is actually in charge of the plane.
