Thinking about the only 3 cards spoilered and a few reprint wishes I got a few archetype theory that I want to explain:
Idea 1: thinking about Phyrexian Obliterator, it's strange to have a BBBB card in limited so maybe a black-centric archetype could be Devotion with the following reprint/helpers: Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Cabal Coffers (much needed reprint, it's 17€ for an UC here in Europe), Oubliette (extremely costly card, used in pauper and one of the few Arabian Nights interesting reprints), Dark Ritual (because, cmon, anniversary set without Ritual it's not enough celebration!)
Idea 2: thinking about Azusa, Lost but Seeking and a few of the cards included in Idea 1 can be a land matters archetype, adding Rishadan Port (everyone wants this), Urzatron (finally a new-frame black-borded version) and Crucible of Worlds
"The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again"

any thoughts on this?
I came with the same conclusion for Mono Black Devotion, and I thought it would make sense to also include Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and Fulminator Mage.
As for the second, Rishadan Port makes sense, but I'm not sure about Urza Lands. I could see them in a future Masters set with a heavy Colorless-matter theme (with Eldrazi Temple, the Eldrazi Titans, and the OGW Eldrazi, once they have gone up in price).
I think this is when we finally get are karrthus, tyrant of Jund reprint to present for "shards of Alana"
Would be awesome to see Karrthus with some new art!
For green mythics I think we may just see Tarmogoyf get rinsed again as it's the only mono colored mythic in green with absurd value still. I'm guessing it'll be accompanied by some jank card that needs new art.
Also personally think this set is gonna need a good land cycle to really go the distance. The fetches getting another rinse would be ideal, but I think doing something like shadowmoor filters would be appropriate as well. Although we already have 2 colorless mythics, I think Cavern of Souls could maybe come back since it's a land.
The last thing I predict is seeing Grim Tutor. I know there's already 2 black mythics, but it COULD be a rare (which would be awesome). And besides, what ELSE do you really reprint from Starter 1999? Let's face it, that's THE card of that set by a landslide.

Maybe we will see Thorn Elemental downshifted to uncommon. He was iconic of the time.
I wouldn't say no to another Craterhoof Behemoth or Primeval Titan reprint, Khalni Hydra, or any of Garruk's first three core set cards (Wildspeaker, Primal Hunter, Caller of Beasts). Though obviously, they aren't nearly as ridiculously expensive as Tarmogoyf is. Actually, speaking of Goyfs, I expected to see Lhurgoyf in this set. For a colorless one, I'm hoping for one of the swords, like Sword of Feast and Famine.

Karrthus isn't crunched out, but we already have Prossh, a Jund dragon, and we're running out of space at mythic.

Man now that you say this I could see them printing it at rare even just because a bomb uncommon seems unlikely for draft. OOF That's gonna be a hard fail if they bring that pointless thing back.

It's definitely still possible at rare despite phyrexian obliterator and doomsday
