Now we got a little bit of info about March of the machines I thought it would be times for specs
1. What iconic legends will get in are third mystical archive
2. What legends pairings will happen for team anti phyrexian
3. Who will be compleated and will it be a 5 or 10 or 20 card cycle? (Guilds, shards, wedge colored legends)
4. And ofcoarse in general stuff like themes, reprints, and out of the blue stuff
For me I feel we will get phyrexian tribal stuff since jins saga side chapter 2 is phyrexian tribal effect. (Whelming Wave for phyrexians) plus mgiht be a second 5-color legend (or loopholed to be one.)n the set for the tribe
2. I am hoping for a Tiana Arvad pairing.
I thought that Lyra would be teaming up with Multani, but he already has a partner.
I could see some guild leaders from Ravnica teaming up together.
Any legendary human and any mutation from Ikoria.
Any legendary human and any seafolk from Ixalan.
Any Vampire, Werewolf pairing from Innistrad.
3. I would like to see Feather as Boros guild leader, but that would mean that Aurelia needs to go. We have artwork from a Phyrexian Dragon in Tarkir. Looks like Kolaghan to me.
4. I would like to talk about the commander decks :P.
We got a picture of every cover creature. "Ongoing Threat" is the Phyrexia white/black deck. The cover creature is a Leonin from Theros (maybe Brimaz, King of Oreskos). "Cavalry Charge" seems to be a knight deck in Esper colors. The cover creature could be from Eldraine. We have "Call for Backup" in Naya colors. The cover creature is a fox from Kamigawa. The theme could be modifications (auras, counters, equipment) or maybe some kind of flash creature/ token theme. Next, we have the Temur "Tinker Time" deck. The cover creature is a Kaladesh Gremlin. The theme will be some kind of Artifact deck most likely. And last the Jeskai "Divine Convocation" deck. I have no idea where the Angel could be from. She doesn't look like a Kaldheim or a Capenna Angel. Just from the artwork, I would say Theros, but there were no Angels in Theros so... Dominaria or Shandalar?. The theme could be convoke.
1. Borborygmos and Fblthp (GUR)- We've seen Borb in key art already. Pairing with Fblthp just seems funny because of the contrast between the two characters. They would be the second pair of one-eyed legends to "partner" up though.
2. Mogis and Iroas (RWB)- Aside from Heliod and Erebos (one of whom is already compleated), the twins have the most interesting relationship and also seem the least likely to be compleated out of the whole pantheon based on the kind of followers they have.
3. Baral and Pia (UR)- We've also seen Baral in key art. I can't imagine that Pia won't make some kind of appearance, and pairing with Baral seems like one of those unexpected "enemies forced to work together" type pairs.
4. Linden and the King (???) - Considering they're getting a funeral in Aftermath, I'm assuming they'll get a card.
As for characters getting completed, the only guess that I have is Geralf, since we already have an Innistrad team-up and Geralf seems like the most likely character to align with the Phyrexians' ideology.
Oh, I would enjoy a Sigarda - Liesa partner card but unlikely. Too much text and the effects don't work well together. Liesa, Forgotten Archangel + Sigarda, Host of Herons are the version that kind of work. And it would be annoying as hell to go against it.
Do we know if it's just the phyrexians and battles are going to be doublesided? If not I think it would be awesome if Olivia and Edgar were teamed up and could transform into Sorin. There are still a lot of plot relevant planeswalkers that might need representation that aren't the headliners (Teferi, Elspeth, and Chandra are the most likely planeswalkers for the set.) Sorin and Arlin were both name dropped as shoring up Innistrad's defenses and I think they mentioned Sammut hiding people on Amonkhet. Heliod I think is going to be a cycle of mono color legends that gain a color when they transform into a phyrexian . Artwork has been revealed for Ayara becoming Ayara Furnace Queen B to most likely RB Rip Ayara. So most likely it will be a G to GW, a U to UB, and a R becoming RG. I could see Krenko and Geralf as candidates but that would make me sad.

Now I’m really think that this team-up thing could be a potential solution to 4-color legends
because It’s now coming to me we could have a cycle of 4-color team up legends and the reason is because Quintorius, Field Historian and Dina, Soul Steeper are on two different box arts (Dina on draft box art quintorius on the bundle box art) that could be are arcavios/strixhaven team up and that would be a BRGW legend because of lorehold being RW and witherbloom being BG and both synergize with the graveyard

The Orzhov commander Deck is supposed to be phyrexian tribal. So we will get more tribal effects in those colors for sure. At least 8 new cards exclusive for phyrexian tribal and at least 1 tribal commander (compleated Brimaz) most likely 2 with the alternative commander. Nonetheless a 5 color phyrexian tribal commander is likely. We have already 5 color Omnath as phyrexian, all 5 praetor in different colors and Atraxa & co (Ixhel and familiy). Now non of these are phyrexian tribal specific but are phyrexian. Maybe all new flip praetors will have some tribal effects, too. But it could be that they just see Omnath as the commander for 5 color phyrexian deck. Who knows.
It looks like the Jeskai cover creature is a Zendikar Angel. People pointed out that there is a hedron on the left corner. Basically under the Angels wings. She has 4 wings, too. Her appearance doesn't strike me as particular Zendikar Angel but if the thing in the artwork is a hedron than...
The deck is called divine convocation. I really hope that this deck has a Angel-subtheme in some kind. And I am excited to see how they want to make convoke interesting. Cheating out one big spell/creature each turn by tapping all your creatures won't be really exciting. Tokens should be involved at least...
The other 3 decks doesn't excite me as much as the two above. Artifact was done like a million times now. The token aspect doesn't make it a lot different for me. In addition Breya, Etherium Shaper exists and is a good artifact token commander in 4 colors. The best aspect of the deck is the Gremlin. I love those little guys.
Knight tribal was done already in some sets and in a brawl(was it brawl?) precon deck. I guess Esper is a new take for them. They are normally in Mardu or Bant. Most Knight support pieces are in white... so. It will work out like a Orzhov Knight tribal commander but with more draw and control I guess.
And at last the Naya precon. Well I believe they add a new +1/+1 counter commander in every set now. I hope the Naya one does something different or is more like a Modified commander but the precon has a +1/+1 counters focus. The Naya one has a interesting name, tho (Call for Backup). So maybe it works different than usual.
Oh, I would enjoy a Sigarda - Liesa partner card but unlikely. Too much text and the effects don't work well together. Liesa, Forgotten Archangel + Sigarda, Host of Herons are the version that kind of work. And it would be annoying as hell to go against it.
They would probably use the template for Sigarda, Heron's Grace where it only effects your other creatures if they went that direction.

Wouldn't Liesa ability to return dieing creatures back to your hand be almost useless? Maybe they just remove the coven part of Sigarda. Her keeping an Eye on every creature type not just Humans would make sense because they all are working together against a greater evil.
Maybe just something like this Liesa, Forgotten Archangel + Sigarda, Champion of Light:
Sigarda and Liesa angelic Sisters 2WBG
Flying, lifelink, trample
Other creatures you control get +1/+1.
Whenever another creature you control dies, return that card to its owner's hand at the beginning of the next end step.
If a creature an opponent controls would die, exile it instead.
4/5
Let see and wait if they get a card and they get teamed up. I would like to see Odric pairing with somebody, too... Do we know how many team ups we actually get per plane? I would assume we get a higher amount of key players or VIPs from each world...
I;m startng to think that the story will be that the boundaries between planes disintegrate, but the phyrexians will be largely defeated. This will allow normal citizens to move between planes, rendering planeswalkers quite reduced in power. I'm sure that the storyline(s) going forward will be the planar citizens getting accustomed to outliers coming into their realm that were once deemed non-existent to non-planeswalker folk. Or nonplaneswalker people to traverse the realms freely with little effort.
Kinda like what happened with the Conflux on Alara. Actually, this will be a multiverse Conflux if you think about it.

Well Sheoldred got executed by Ajani in the very first story... What make me wonder what part of the story her new artwork was trying to show us. Maybe before the first story part? I am certain that she will get a card like Jin-Gitaxias but maybe she won't be participating in the invasions story wise.
I assume you mean like a time travel reset where Phyrexia never invades and the multiverse lives happily ever after. I don’t think that’ll happen, but the scale of the damage across every plane is pretty staggering. I don’t really have any idea what’s gonna happen, but things are getting so dire in the story that at this point it’ll take some kind of deus ex machina (lol pun) for the good guys to come out on top. In order to win, they need to figure out a to either eradicate every trace of the glistening oil as well as everything it’s corrupted, or immunize everything and reverse the effects of the oil. Either way though, based on the Aftermath spoiler, it looks like at least some of the casualties will be permanent.
Looks like they want to clean there planeswalker roster a little. Maybe to give newcomer a chance to shine in future sets. Nahiri will be replaced for Quintorius. Tamiyo and Lukka got killed in the story. I hope that the story will unfold a little different in the future. Would be boring if every plane manage to kill off the first send thread from Elesh. We still have Nahiri, Ajani and Atraxa left. But from the look of it, they are killing off the infected Planeswalker. I assume that Ajani will be killed, too. He has done too much that would conflict with him if he somehow could be turned back. We need to wait and see what happen to Elspeth. Maybe she can somehow reverse phyresis with some new unlocked powers but for the moment I would say that the phyrexian Planeswalker will be killed off. We don't have any information of Jace and Vraska for the moment. Elspeth could die, too at the end, for some kind of sacrifice. I for now, don't think that they plan to reverse things.
I trully believe that some of the 8 already phyrexianised planeswalkers will survive.
As said i think nahiri will die, being replaced by quintorious. I think both ajani and vraska since they were meant to die in wots will have their swang songs as well.
I can't see jace been eliminated from the story. Maybe he will become a spirit like the comics. I think nissa will survive as well. Maybe they both lose their spark.
I also think that norn will be done at aftermath if not earlier. Jin as well. I think only urabrask and vorinclex will survive from the praetors.

i Guess part of the reset is newer characters to focus on and probably are gonna be involved of beating the next bad guy
i Know chapters 9 or 10 of the main story will unmask the big change
