Kaya seems good, thought I'm not sure if that effect feels mono-black.
Her ghost form looks pretty nifty way to protect your walkers too.

So, we have Vraska, Kaya, and Kiora as hybrid mana uncommon walkers. Two of those are the 'walkers from the past two Ravnica sets. Do you think we'll get hybrid, uncommon versions of Dovin Baan, Domri Rade, and Ral Zarek as well? And then maybe four others to fill out the other color-pairs a la Kiora? Maybe ten hybrid walkers at uncommon, leaving us with maybe 10 mono-colored walkers at uncommon, two for each color?
Just speculation, but anyone else have any thoughts?
I really dig the Ghostform. Activate a minus ability to put your 'walker to zero and then get it back at full loyalty AND you can activate another ability straightaway because of the zone change? Sign me the heck up for one mana.
Kaya herself is niche as heck but she looks like a monster piece of removal in Limited.

That's been confirmed by multiple sources. The uncommons are two of each monocolor and a hybrid of each pair. The mythics are Liliana, Gideon, and Bolas. The rares are the other 13, with no specific pattern to them (including two colorless - Karn and Ugin).
Well her walker looks bad but Ghostform? Have we seen anything like that before that is some interesting protection.
No. And even the worse-in-two-ways versions in the past (Creature+death, not planeswalkers and not exile) still cost three times as much (False Demise, Gift of Immortality, Journey to Eternity, Shade's Form, Unhallowed Pact). Sure, several of them had some nice bonuses on the side, but still this basic premise on an aura... was never nearly this cheap manawise.
Ghostform is a nifty way to reset those uncommon planeswalkers abilities.
Unfortunate that they tend to have 5 loyalty and -2 activations. They can't just activate themselves to death - barring some intervention, they hang on at 1 loyalty, neither able to activate nor self-remove.
Wow, anti-exile tech for a single mana? That may see modern play, even.
Edit: oh crap, terminus tucks cards in library. Well, it is still interesting.
Edit #2: I'm pretty sure there is a creature that brings back an aura on EtB, which means it enables infinite sacrifice loop. Sure, there are some already with remedy, but hey, it's a single mana.
Important question: if you throw ghost form on Ugin and -X it into oblivion, what happens?
If I remember correctly Ugin will return because he will be sent to the graveyard due to state-based effects (having zero loyalty) before his -X ability resolves.
So, is there a way to break the Ghostform? It resets walkers, so it certainly gives some Saheeli Cat vibes...
Not currently as far as I know. You would need a walker that you can get to 0 on their own, as well as return the aura to play. I can't see a design doing that.

Would prefer to see Eternals succeeding after what she have done though.

I'm both glad that they finally gave my girl a semi-decent card and that it looks like she turns against Bolas

Double dip that Fulminator Mage!
My guess is he decided to kill his underlings once they had served their purpose, and she evaded that.
If I remember correctly Ugin will return because he will be sent to the graveyard due to state-based effects (having zero loyalty) before his -X ability resolves.
