Now for a question does some of the stuff printed in commander 2019 foreshadow anything?
I was wondering the same thing. Commander 2017 had interactions with Amonkhet's cats, Ixalan's vampires, and Dominaria's wizards. 2018 kind of hinted at planeswalkers and the lands matter in modern horizons. I don't think any of the keywords synergies have any obvious themes that would fit in Eldraine. Maybe a discard theme that synergizes with madness but isn't madness?
Commander 2018 hinted at land in grave cards, artifact cards, "top of the deck" and enchantment. The land in grave was a theme in modern horizons, artifact had suport in urza and goblin engineer, top of deck and enchantment got together a land (Hall of heliod's generosity), and it announced a planeswalker heavy year imo.
If we have to look at Commander 2019 for themes foreshadowed i would guess:
a Morph set.
A mechanic that values cards going into graveyard/ can be recast from the graveyard (maybe eldraine book mechanic is a flashback for creatures...)(not like creating a token of the creature but having a cost that would be prohibitive to pay over and over again, for exemple the goldilocks could be exile 3 creatures from any graveyard to play her from graveyard)
For populate/tokens deck i can't imagine a good/new mechanic for it soo maybe a return of embalm or eternalize? Or maybe we see a new Army token/mechanic that is not like Amass but can benefit from it. If we are going to a viking set i could see we geting a embalm mechanic but instead of making a zombie token you instead make a spirit army token...
I do like the idea of different kinds of armies that could play with amass. I could see an army of knights maybe in red white. Maybe the storybook is an abilty that is on creatures that plays from the graveyard? I think it would actually be better for the madness deck than the flashback though. I think your right about embalm because it would be cool but not fit with Eldraine.

Embrace the dark you call a home,
Gaze upon an empty, white throne
A legacy of lies,
A familiar disguise
Sing with me a song of conquest and fate
The black pillar cracks beneath its weight
Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone
Lost in thoughts all alone
