Found two pieces of art on the page for the CommandFest Orlando.
One seems to be the "Invasion of Kaldheim", if the other "Invasion of.." arts are anything to go by. Seems like the Invasion Tree got itself a messenger.
March 16 is when the story starts. So like three weeks from now.

Embrace the dark you call a home,
Gaze upon an empty, white throne
A legacy of lies,
A familiar disguise
Sing with me a song of conquest and fate
The black pillar cracks beneath its weight
Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone
Lost in thoughts all alone

Well, two. I really want to find out what happens at the climax of all this. I hope they don't butcher it like they did with War of the Spark and Forsaken. WOTC will never be forgiven if they **** around with it again.

Ok it. Just be like Christmas for Mark that we're getting a phyrexian squirrel as a creature in March
(That’s toski compleated in the second picture spikes added to his back, bigger, and his tails is lighting red instead of cyan)
Ps nobody is talking about this but I think the phyrexian next to toski is a compleated Sarulf, Realm Eater
and as for the world tree art there’s clearly something protecting it if the realm breaker is being destroyed by trying to get to the world tree. (Maybe halo)
I think I saw an article post about this. They are the art for dual lands that enter the battlefield tapped if you control two or more lands.
Each one depicts the invasion of a different realm.
I think you may be conflating a few things. They showed gain lands (e.g. Thornwood Falls with art from different planes in the lates stages of invasion, there are several cards titled "Invasion of [plane]" whose function is not yet known, but had arts shown off and the enemy fast lands (e.g Concealed Courtyard) are a possibility given we just got the allied ones.
I definitely thought Toski was the size of a normal squirrel before this.
He... should... be? The only other art I can think of that we have of him (besides his card) is In Search of Greatness which depicts him next to what looks like just a normal ass wolf? (It's not Sarulf, it lack Sarulf's braids and bindings around the legs) So while he might be big for a squirrel, he's still small animal size. Unless he can change his size for some reason?

We know that Kaldheim has a lot of Angels. Technically those are Valkyries but maybe that doesn't matter.
I believe Toski was described as being tiny for a cosmos monster. Sarulf on the other hand is described as a giant wolf. The card could display some kind of grow effect. It looks like Toski is distracting the wolf (they are facing each other and not the ships) so the humans can flee. Maybe something like target creature gets +3/+3 and can block multiple creatures until end of turn... or something.
-Compleation made Toski extra swole, because of something about his connection to the World Tree.
-Nissa cast Giant Growth.
-Every Big Magic Tree(tm) comes with one Big Magic Squirrel(tm), AT NO ADDITIONAL COST!

Looking into it a bit, the Planeswalkers' Guide to Kaldheim describes him this way: "the tiny, mischievous squirrel Toski, who is small enough to sit in the palm of Esika's hand," and in the story, though he does not appear directly, someone tells Kaya about him and she reacts this way "A giant squirrel. Well, why not? She had seen stranger." So he's not large, but Kaya assumed he was, I guess?
I’m starting to think the world tree picture might be the answer of how the planar travel for non planeswalkers is the ticket
i Think the world tree destroys the realmbreaker and it’s branches goes into the same planes as realmbreaker did (likely to get rid of the evil branches or follows the paths the realmbreaker left) thus causing planar travel for non walkers
and To imprison phyrexians so wizards don't kill them off so they can use them again in the future.
it’s ridiculously simple the world tree doesn't connect to new phyrexia mirrodin the only plane no non walker can go to partiucarlly phyrexians thus imprisoning them and can't travel to planes.

One seems to be the "Invasion of Kaldheim", if the other "Invasion of.." arts are anything to go by. Seems like the Invasion Tree got itself a messenger.
I don't think that's an invasion art. It has the perfect layout for a plane/phenomenon card with the lower half being mostly undetailed background/foreground filler.
This is especially pronounced in the Toski art, but even the World Tree art looks well-fitting inside the planechase frame, better than on a regular card.

All invasions art are very horizontal and works perfectly as planechase art. Heres an example. But you can have fun with Magic Set Editor to try the others.

You literally picked the only one that works in a planechase frame.
All the others look somewhat awkward in a planechase frame, the worst example being the Shandalar one. But even the Mercadia one which has the second best fit after Alara has some akward spots.
All of them look perfectly fine on a regular Magic card. It's not just positioning but also level of detail. The two Kaldheim artworks look less fitting on a normal frame because theres so much unused space and the characters are so tiny. On a regular card the World Tree art is just a tiny bright spot surrounded by streaks of colour.

Well, if anything this suggest that not any art that fits in planechase must be a planechase art, and so you can't make the equation that just because khaldeim arts fits in planechase, must be a planechase card.

that happens with regular magic cards all the time. See in Phyrexian Atlas how all the 9 realms are just tiny stripes.

I suspect that of some arts we maybe only got a close-up depiction but no the actual full art.
We've gone over this “invasion of” is definitely the “battle” type cards and they can be hitable by atraxa, grand unifier
Sure. But is still possible that Battles could have a planechase-nesque template. Imagine a plane from planechase but at the size of a regular magic card, now that would feel like worth a new card type for sure. A bit discomfort to read in hand? Sure, but no worse than any DFC or kamigawa flip card.

That wasn't my only argument though. You're cherrypicking.

... That's because the art wasn't made to be printed on a Magic card but was done for the art book. Like sure it might be the case for the World Tree artwork as well. In fact, that's the one I'm most curious about, because it could indeed go both ways, but it is suspicious that we get new planechase cards and there's artwork that fits the planechase frame perfectly.
I suspect that of some arts we maybe only got a close-up depiction but no the actual full art.
Which would be an incredibly odd choice for a "battle" artwork which you want to show in their scenic glory.
I don't even know what you're arguing at this point. The fact that you have to resort to cherrypicking to find a counter argument that amounts to "well, not necessarily" is kind of strengthening my point.
That wasn't my only argument though. You're cherrypicking.
You didn't say much to be honest, and there's nothing that you said that wouldn't apply also for the Invansion of Alara artwork so the point still stand.
That's because the art wasn't made to be printed on a Magic card but was done for the art book
So see the recent Breach the Multiverse. As I said, Magic is full of artworks that frame from very long distances so that the singlest elements seems literally tiny in the art, that's why I don't understand this objection.
I don't even know what you're arguing at this point.
I do have a personal theory too, and I shared already with Ryperior if you didn't read it.
Well we don't know how the new card type will look like. There are already some vertical, horizontal layouts for fuse or aftermath cards for example. Saga or adventure has shown us that they can get creative here.

Thanks to DarkNightCavalier from Heroes of the Plane Studios for this sick Signature.
And the Worldtree is fighting back or being protected from realmbreaker.
