So...
selesnya has again trostani and emmara
boros has again tajic and aurelia
dimir has again lazav
izzet has again niv-mizzet
only golgari had some real changes
I think that there will be at least (probably only) 3 Legendary Creatures/Planeswalkers per guild. Note that Emmara is Rare, not Mythic. If we assume that the guildmasters are all Mythic, and only 2 per guild, that would mean that Izzet (at least) gets 2 Mythics (Niv Mizzet and Ral Zarek) while Selesnya gets a Rare and a Mythic. Since this would be unbalanced, I am making the assumption that there will be 3.
This doesn't necessarily mean that he'll be in the new set, either as a reprint or as a new creature. We've already seen that several of the reprints in the guild kits feature new artwork. This could just be the art for a Tajic reprint in there.
I've seen many stupid swords designs in fantasy art, but that has to be one of the stupider ones...
only golgari had some real changes
Well, I think not that much time has passed in-universe since RTR, so that's only logical. Trostani, Niv, Aurelia and Lazav are essentially ageless beings, so as long as they're not killed somehow, they'll probably live for (close to) forever.
Since the Dimir seem to be "the good guys" at least in the story for this block, I hope we get an interesting guild representative. Mirko Vosk was kind of eh.
So...
selesnya has again trostani and emmara
boros has again tajic and aurelia
dimir has again lazav
izzet has again niv-mizzet
only golgari had some real changes
the Niv-Mizzet reprint is the Guild Kit, not GRN, same for Aurelia
I've not seen any mention or spoiler about Trostani and Lazav
right now the only 2 returning character we've seen are Emmara and Tajic + Ral and Vraska

Lazav is mentioned on Sinister Sabotage, implying that he is still in a position of power.

Sure it's logical, but it's also terribly boring.
the chorus, Razie and Szadek are ageless being, yet they were all replaced.
Hell, now i have to hope that Borborygmos will die to have some changes. Poor Borby.
Razia & Szadek where physicaly killed. Mat’Selesnya was usually physically sleeping during the Guildpact tenure, then got wounded by Szadek, then the Guildpact got dissolved. Plus guild leaders can pass leadership to others. That’s literally how other guild leaders who aren’t Parun’s ended up with the title. The Mat’Selesnya still exists but passed guild leadership to Trostani.

Since Kaya is going to around we could see the Obzedat fall and Teysa take over.

I think Tajic will be rare like Emmara. This could be a cycle of former important Persons (guild champions). Mirko Vosk, Melek, Varolz would complete the cycle in this set.
Well... Melek is dead... So yeah. Gonna need to rethink that.
I've seen many stupid swords designs in fantasy art, but that has to be one of the stupider ones...
I think his armor tops it. That helmet must cut off his nose. He does have a handy croissant-storing compartment at the bottom of his armor. For that post-battle hunger.

The "noseguard" might be curved forward to prevent it, making it useless but not dangerous. But if that phallic symbol on top gets hit, it breaks his neck.
Evidently Tajic gets out of Orzhov custody at some point. Last we saw of him, he'd been arrested by the Orzhov after Teysa's failed attempt to destroy the Obzedat.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
I think Tajic will be rare like Emmara. This could be a cycle of former important Persons (guild champions). Mirko Vosk, Melek, Varolz would complete the cycle in this set.

I don’t think he’s dead. Ral just took his battery out or turned him off.

actually that art is a littlebit "to much" for me ^^ like you cant take some1 geared like this serious, or can you ?
Fantasy character design can often be just unbelievable levels of aesthetically godawful and impractical. It just often isn't quite this bright. I mean, seriously, he looks like he has cheap 90s metallic-plastic action figure armor, from like a Saint Seiya type of thing, photoshopped badly on top of him. Also, something appears to have taken a few bites out of his sword, but it's all good because now it's emitting fire for some reason.
I'm guessing maybe Niv won't be in this set, and will show up in the 3rd act with his secret plan or whatever. So Ral can take the mythic slot.
Tajic is kinda whatever as a character and previous card but this ridiculous look is a nice turn for him.

Now he shows up with weird-looking face and ghastly mist all around his torso.
