Having some creature type matters of tribal element also fits with one of the themes of modern horizons. I guess something like Cost reduction, +p/+t, and extra abilities based on the quantity of creatures types would be a start (with a limit)
A god that gains +p/+t for each creature type among creatures you control but with a cap (of say +7+7) could fit I guess.
Nordic world sounds possible, but what would be the plants for it now? We don't exactly have a lot of Dwarf, Elf, or Giant tribal running around.
Not every set needs a tribal focus. It turned me off of Ixalan.
I think a legendary theme (including many lands, artifacts, and equipment) would make complete sense with such a world, and you could consider the planeswalker theme of WAR to be a plant for that. Sagas are also perfect, but they wouldn't wanna just redo Dominaria's themes...
Many people including myself have already made plenty of predictions for a Nordic world. I think it would not have a heavy tribal theme, or a snow theme. But a Nordic world is a "when" not an "if". If it's not coming now, it'll be here soon enough. Those of us who want to see such a world need only be patient.
I don't wanna see a wild west world, and I think I'm not alone. Do we need Jace in a cowboy hat and chaps? We do not. That doesn't mean they won't do it though.
I'd frankly like to see something a little more original than an X or Y themed world. I'd rather have them build something new from the ground up than have another "let's do Greek mythology, but MTG" sort of plane.
To be fair the tribal focus on ixalan was kinda cancerous, like, have you read the fatpack booklet? Tribal this tribal that pirates fishman dinosaurs vampire tribal that tribal this tribal all. They got things right in Rivals, but Ixalan (first set) looks like a filer set.
But ye, tribal again would not be boring. We got 2 tribal sets recently, one bad (ixalan) and one good (Modern Horizons (as a seccundary theme))
I don't like to see another legendary/historic theme but maybe if we get gods and sagas could be nice, sagas would fit on all the enchantment support we got lately. And if devotion returns in the nordic world every color pushed card we got recently would fit into a theme too.
Shouldn't wotc have revealed the fall set by now according to their prior schedules ? I mean it was always before june, right ?
If fall is snow themed it makes sense to not reveal before the first wave of modern horizons, cause people will look to open the snow lands. After like 30 days of its realease and after core 20 releases, they can reveal it to give a new hype in modern horizons (people looking for the snow interation cards). And theoricaly it would not afect core 20 because in theory it is the corset that will see play in 2020, in theory because core 19 is rotating out in mid 2019 with almost less than a year of standard play.
Another possibility is Teyo's home. We might be going to "diamond storm" world sooner than we think. Maybe it's a world themed after gemstones? Perfect place for colored artifacts to appear in large numbers. Teyo could be from Diamond Dunes, then we can be introduced to the Marble Plains, Sapphire Sea, Onyx Swamp, Ruby Mountains, Emerald Forest...
Kasmina's home is also a possibility. Based on the name, I'm thinking some place with a Russian vibe.
The other plane in War could be a plane we have previously visited as well, there are several candidates that make sense: Kaladesh, Innistrad, Dominaria, Theros, Zendikar. Dominaria in particular stands out, especially if Jaya and/or Lily dies as both are from there. All we really know about the second plane in War is that it is *not* Amonkhet, and it is *not* the Fall set.
I am still holding out hope for a Norse based set after Ravnica, but the more I think about it, the more I am thinking that it might be a "Chinese" based set. But we've had a couple of Asia influenced sets in these last couple of years as well, with both Kaladesh and Tarkir. It's been a long while since we've had anything influenced by Africa though, and I really, really, really, want to visit Aminatou's home plane, because she is awesome incarnate.
