Well in retrospect the wedge theme in M20 was set up for Ikoria and might not be repeated, since M21 will likely set up later sets themes.
As for walkers I could see;
W-Elspeth, as she is newly retuned. Maybe Teyo or Wanderer, unlikely imo Ajani for another set as they said they gonna try to show off the divers cast they have.
U-Jace if we don't see Teferi here (see below), a more foamier face and hasn't been in any recent core sets and outside of war of the spark hasn't had a card since Ixalan.
B-Davriel, I think he might be featured in a set soon, this would be a way to introduce him.
R- Not sure, they are a lot of characters in this spot.
G- Garruk, similar to Elspeth he's retuned to the storyline and this would be a way to show off he is mono-green again.
WU-Teferi if we see him shown as he is in the present. If not, I'd see him in mono-blue and I'd be down for a transform Teferi that goes from blue to white/blue.

Except for Karn, I expect the walker choices are gonna be the ones for new phyrexia battle if we're going back there
I think that will happen in core 2022 tbh, they are slowly building torwards a NP set, however I believe a New phyrexia return won't come as soon as Q4 2021, we haven't been to Innistrad in over 5 years by 2021, plus I can see a new world in the next year and obviously a core set, return set,new world,core set,new phyrexia would be my bet
At the very least we'll get 3 Teferi 'walker cards (Uncommon, Rare, Mythic) and probably some signature Teferi "spells" like Puzzle Box as a reprint, if not new ones.

Some of these speculations seem pretty baseless though I share in ya'lls' hope for a few of them. I especially hope to see Davriel again as well as another oddball Monowhite walker that hasn't shown up in a core set yet.
We know this is going to be a Teferi-based core set but I cannot determine whether it's gonna be a look at Teferi's past or a conclusion to the Zalfir arc. If the former I think we could expect a lot of callbacks to the Invasion and Mirage storylines, such as Phyrexians, Urza, the Jamuraan nations and the Weatherlight. If the latter is true then I expect to see more Jamuraan and Mirage callbacks but with a much looser theme.
Blow are some of my guesses and a few of my hopes
Mono blue PW: Teferi
Mono black PW Davriel, Lili, or Ob
Mono red PW No clue
Mono white PW Teyo, or Elspeth
Mono green PW Garruk, Yanggu, or even Arlinn

Core 2020 was also a "Chandra" set but the only thing about Chandra related in that set were her PW cards, I dunno if this year set will be the same or if there will be actual story tied to it
If Core set 2021 is anything like Core set 2019, we could very well see phyrexians in M21 and in that case
The Legendary green mythic could be: Jolrael (new version)
The Legendary black mythic could be : K'rrik (even though he got a card recently)
The Legendary white mythic could be : Mangara (new version)
Other characters that took part in Teferi's story:
Karvek
Karona
Jhoira
Freyalise
Karn
Radha
Leshrac
Jeska
I believe that flanking was pretty present thing last time we saw Jamuraa, though my memory may be mistaken. Of course, illusions may be more associated with good old phasing...
Alright take this with a grain of salt, I can't confirm if these are real but a while ago Narset leaked on reddit and it was veridic.

Adamant should make a return in Core Set as a way to power creep classic reprinted cards like Mind Rot. If a new Mind Rot had Adamant, it could have a self Liliana's Caress effect.
As for the tribe I would say horror due to the phyrexians but there's lots of types the phyrexians are
The monocoulored or the multicoloured cycle? K'rrik would be a solid mono-black legendary
Yea that's problem B for horror the oldie phyrexians vast major are black there's the occasion blue or red in the older phyrexians
Yeah that is the problem, also I bet most of the OG phyrexians are getting cards in commander legendes, but if M21 is anything like M19 I do expect to see some OG phyrexians, also Jumpstart, Phyrexians are a mythic theme and there are 37 new cards comming with that product so the stars are kind alligning, Jumpstarts also shares over 100 cards with Core 2021
But they could potentially do a double coloured phyrexian cycle if they really wanted too

By the way K'rrick has a card your right he’s mono black printed last year's commander product in the rakdos deck

Tsabo Tavoc is already black and red
Gix black and blue
We could arguably say Belbe could be black green
But it's kinda hard to do a cycle of OG phyrexians even multi coloured, at least without introducing some "new" old phyrexians in the set, or minor characters

Indeed
We see of old phyrexians get involved of core 2021 or not (not as a cycle) lorewise
Teferi spent most of his time fighting phyrexia, so if the set has some lore phyrexians should 100% be in it, what if they give phyrexians a creature type and they are the tribe of the set?
Even if there ain't a full cycle of them, some phyrexians in the mono black spot or the multi coloured spot should be a given, if the set is anything like M19 that is

Mono black PW Davriel (hopefully)
Mono red PW Jaya
Mono white PW Ajani
Mono green PW Garruk
I predict there will also be a cycle of mono coloured legendary creatures and a cycle of wedge coloured legendary creatures
Do the reverse shard legends sounds more guessable for this
Also I would have guessed a 5-color legend here but I think that legend is for zendikar with omnath
I can exspect a flicker/bounce theme in this knowing Teferi
In 2019, we cost a cycle of wedge legends.
This time around, I don’t have too many expectations one way or the other.

There's another tribal theme in core 2021 like the elementals did in core 2020
What tribe fits with teferi theme?

teferi, yawn. So much teferi fatigue. Core sets have been good lately but this one seems like it’ll be bland

Instead of "breaking my rules is hard/impossible", giving white some "breaking my rules gives me benefits" seems like a pretty great concept.
