I hope for one fatty tribe - either Angels or Dragons. Dragons have some decent tribal support and synergy, but Angels have a handful of Innistrad era stuff, and only Herald of War is truly tribal. Wurms/Sphinxes/Demons don't get enough love to be in the running.
One of the good Lorwyn tribes - hopefully in 3 colors - would be nice, like Faeries, Elves, Goblins, or Merfolk (sorry Elementals and Kithkin, I don't want to water down a good set with you guys).
Probably a monocolor deck with it's given tribe, Goblin/Elf/Soldier(human)/Wizard/Zombie, whatever's not the Lorwyn tribe.
And a multi tribe - either humans with angels, goblins with dragons/giants, or some other classic combo, with support and synergy for both.
(man I really want angel tribal so bad. all I need is a Dragonspeaker Shaman for angels)
Maybe the Zombie Champions are like a Valhalla thing - worthy warriors are mummified, stored and waiting to be called upon by Bolas (like Vikings waiting for Ragnarok).
Well, the einherjar were pretty busy with Viking stuff in Valhalla whilst they waited for Ragnarok - they were training for it. It wouldn't be the first time Magic used the "Sleeping Army" trope, although on the other side of the moral spectrum: The Keldons, who were good guys by the time of Invasion, believed that their own worthy dead of all ages would come from the Necropolis to save them in their hour of need.
Turns out that was a pretty poor thing to believe because they were actually zombified by Yawgmoth and sent to kill Dominarians, but luckily the magical ship Golden Argosy gathered up the REAL heroes - the living Keldons and their friends.
Awesome! I did not know that bit of lore. After watching the trailer, I noticed there's a scene where it appears that a mummy is training a new Trial Participant. Perhaps this lends credence to the theory.

Throwing in that it might be Terminate. Maybe Skeletonize. Both feature dem bonez in their art.
-WOTC has shown several times that Regenerate is Gone. Them is really hard that can see a card with "Regenerate this" or "can't be regenerated" in the future.
Oh yea, forgot about that. So skeletonize and terminate is off the table for set reprints, and i'm fairly sure neither rates a masterpiece.
Translation on Lili appears to actually be "Up to two target creatures."
That's not too bad. Weaken your opponents board, prevent creatures from Persist-ing. Maybe her own creatures have some way to gain from -1/-1's as well. I can't wait to see the decks.
Just cuz someone ditches the team, gets mummy servants, and eats fruit in the lap of luxury doesn't make them evil. I think it's just Lili's style. (though she could still totally be doing evil)
Totally out of the blue, but I think the Bolas horns in the background will be a Stargate-style device.
Like the huge space gate the Ori made to funnel ships through, the Bolas Horns will be the gate to send Gods and armies through to conquer other planes.
And generic tribal support.
Yoho, yoho, a pirates life fore me.

On the plus side, at uncommon we don't see it too often in limited. That's the best plus side I got.

That is, power-wise, unfortunate.
