I don't like that Domri would be the leader for the Gruul (maybe just giving advice for our favorite cyclops could be a thing). If they did like a Giant Planeswalker that won against borbo i would be ok with that.
Well the Gruul also don't have a real structure, Borborygmos is the most powerful and angerest of the clan leaders (which also include Ruric Thar) and the closest thing the gruul have to a guild master, but they could simply have Bolas help Domri become a leader of a rival clan and just call him "guild master" for the cycle without Domri killing off Borborygmos.

Interesting to see the movements in guild leadership over time.
Azorius
Augustin died, Isperia promoted then died, Lavinia 2nd representative twice. Dovin stepping in.
Orzhov
Looks like Ghost Council will be out for Kaya 3rd time but Teysa will probably stay constant. Most stable in a sense.
Dimir
Szadek gone, Lazav retains top spot. The 2nds have always been forgettable.
Izzet
Niv down in 3rd set as Ral rises.
Rakdos
Rakdos himself the only guild leader to reign through all three? I expect another random 2nd, Exava was not that exciting.
Golgari
Completely new characters every time although Jarad had a connection to Savra and I guess Izoni carries the Devkarin thread while Vraska sort of picks up from Sisters of Stone Death.
Gruul
Kinda seems like Borborygmos will be out in favor of some other rebellious second to Domri. Ruric Thar was kind of cool but Ulasht is just a random hellion hydra.
Boros
Keeps the same characters in the 2nd and 3rd visits (Aurelia and Tajic). Off chance of Feather showing up in Milk.
Selesnya
I guess Selesnya also has the same characters twice and the Chorus is at least similar to Trostani.
Simic
Interesting that Zegana is downgraded to rare, that's kind of what inspired this review. Total difference in the first two outings, and seems like we're going to get a new leader unless Vorel took over, which would be interesting.
I don't think Vorel is part of the faction that helped oust Zegana and hustle her back to Zonot One. Odds-on the new Prime Speaker is a new character.
Rakdos then/now/forever. Of the guildmasters whose name is actually on the sign, as it were, he's the only one who's out-and-out immortal (Niv-Mizzet is just very, very long-lived but is eminently killable). Interesting that there are three (four? Razia's presumed still alive) living Paruns but only two of them are guildmasters.
I just hope that, for the Gruul rare legendary, we get another leader of one of the clans. So far, we only have the leaders of the Burning Tree Clan and the Ghor Clan. I wanna see, like, Nikya of the Old Ways, or Narbulg Nine Fingers.
The elf-like mage on the booster art is holding the same Trident that was on Prime Speaker Zegana (which is conspicuously missing from Zegana, Utopian Speaker), so that's my vote on who is running the place.

I don't think Nikya is supposed to be a Centaur but that Centauress from the art looks an awful lot like a Zhur-Taa summoner of some description. If she's the legend, she's bound to be the leader of one of the less mainstream clans, probably not Slizt or Scab and not as likely to be Bolrac as Zhur-Taa.

Nikya was one of the first custom cards I made when I was just getting into the game so I would absolutely love if we saw her in this set.
