With the M20 article on the mothership that appeared today noting the themes, it appears there will be legends for each wedge. I'd like to start speculating on what kinds of cards you imagine the legends would be!
RWB NAME, Reaper of War
Flying, haste
Whenever ~ attacks, put target creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. That creature gains haste. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step or if it would leave the battlefield.
GUR Omnath, Locus of Elements 2G: Return target Elemental or land card from your graveyard to your hand. 2U: Put an awakening counter on target land you control. That land becomes a 3/3 Elemental creature with haste. It's still a land. 2R, Sacrifice an Elemental: ~ deals 3 damage to any target.
WBG NAME, Insect Queen
~ has defender as long as it has a +1/+1 counter on it.
Whenever another creature dies, put a +1/+1 counter on ~. 1, Remove a +1/+1 counter from ~: Create a 1/1 green Insect creature token.
BGU NAME, Coilmage
Whenever a nontoken creature enters the battlefield under your control, choose one:
* Return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand.
* That creature fights target creature an opponent controls.
* Exile target creature. That creature's controller creates a 3/3 green Snake creature token.
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.
RWB Aggro - Maybe a toned down version of Kaalia of the Vast or something with Raid GUR Elementals - Three color Omnath would be nice to see, or a human who makes elementals when X happens BGU Control/ETB - lots of options here, reanimation/return to hand, Panharmonicon type of effect, since it's not white I doubt flickering will be a part (i think it would be a bend for blue, even so I doubt it), I'd like to see a "Whenever a creature enters the battlefield trigger all other enters the battlefield effects" creature but that might be a bit too much WBG Go Wide - token maker is obvious, maybe a weaker Beastmaster Ascension on stick if you attack with X or more tokens

Currently Playing:
Standard - Some kind of control
Modern - UB Mill (casual)
EDH - Meren's Grave Shenanigans
Man I hope these are all true. Nothing would make me happier (unless the insect queen is a Treefolk that makes Saprolings instead).
I updated my suggestions with more details:

Yes, saprolings! Treefolk, fungus, dryad...I don't care the subtype, but this needs to be a thing...fungus probably works best...maybe give it another type like Shaman or something.
A new Angel legend for Kaalia would be sweet, you'll never top her, but something to support her would be interesting.
going to go out weird and say Ooze legend for Sultai
I saw someone saying the jeskai bird could be from tarkir and a "rebel" to the dragon rule and trashing of the khans way. If they do more legends on tarkir then maybe maybe maybe we could get more things like a Temur shaman Unwritten/Forgotten Ways for temur legend (with a human or ainok focused in elemental, one of the things prohibited for atarka's clan to do), for Sultai a Rakshasa (but would not fit much into the opressed part of the clan), for Abzan we could get another spirit token maker (kin tree spirits - one of the things Dromoka prohibited, and why anafenza got killed), for mardu maybe a dragon killer. If i would have to guess on this hypothesis i would say Temur, Abzan and Jeskai legends set on Tarkir and Sultai and Mardu set on another world.

I think it more likely that each of the legends are from a different plane.

I think the temur needs a “landfall”/“when a land enters the battlefield” static ability then you would have your temur land commander

Well nailed the Mardu one. Good suggestion.
Do we need some Dragons/Demons/Angels for her in the same set? I mean Nahiri was in spark wars without any equipment, only providing first strike. At the moment we have like one Angel if I remember correctly.
I hope your Go Wide suggestion for Abzan is true, though.

He did say we'd get several angels, dragons, and demons for her to play with in the article that revealed her, so it is reasonable to expect two of each, at the least, one of each which is either common or uncommon for limited reasons. (I.e. if you draft her, they want to make sure you have a decent chance to get things to play her with.)

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
Bases on the spoiled tokens, I have a strange feeling it's(Abzan)another GY matters legend.
New Karador?

Given the heavy lifegain theme I'd wager that the Abzan legend has something to do with gaining and paying life. Which I would love because I would kill to be able to add black to Trostani.
By this point I think the abzan legend will be another old legendary. Either Doran, Anafenza or Karador would be my guess to returning ones. As the legends somewhat fits the theme (loosely) they probably makes tokens or benefits from going wild.
Just hope we get anafenza as the principal spirit of the kin tree and she makes spirits

Great start for the omnath guess
We just got a simic elemental so elementals are infact temur focused in the set
The Abzan theme was "Go Wide" with creature tokens, so I would expect something more along the lines of Ghave, Guru of Spores.
