Well, last we saw Theros, Ajani was spreading the truth about the gods as manifestations of belief (this is how Xenagos was able to become a god, after all) and telling people to stop believing in them, out of revenge for Heliod killing Elspeth. The temples have most likely been destroyed as a result of that.
The temples don't look destroyed. Also, Theros is very adherent to its pantheon, I highly doubt Ajani accomplished as much as he'd like to believe he did.
I do wish these had been the enemy cycle of the BFZ Tango-lands, or whatever we're calling them. I really wanted a UG one.
Eh, they're not necessarily destroyed, but they're in bad shape and most of them look dilapidated. For example, compare the new art on Temple of Mystery to the original art - the branches on the trees making up the center of the temple are completely bare. This is pretty much true for the other temples (Temple of Malady is overgrown with vines and the cauldron is cracked, etc.), but Temple of Triumph looks just as, if not more impressive than before.

(That makes the memorial to Gideon rather interesting in that respect, because it's a shrine to a seemingly human figure and not a divine one...)
Having looked at the notes for Citadel Siege I'm pretty sure but a confirmation would be great... When a siege etbs while an ETB doubler like Yarok is in play do you get both modes? Both Monastery and Frontier would be great with both modes.
Unfortunately this doesn’t work with the Sieges because those have replacement effects ("as ~ enters the battlefield”), not triggered abilities ("when ~ enters the battlefield”).
Yarok, the Desecrated2BGU
Legendary Creature - Elemental Horror (Mythic)
Deathtouch, lifelink
If a permanent entering the battlefield causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time. "Yarok grieves within the waste
Of Bala Ged's corrupted land."

Rotting Regisaur looks VERY, VERY breakable. You get a 7/6 body off a single Dark Ritual and it's a ready-made discard engine for reanimator strategies.
It enters tapped, so it can’t pay the cost of something that counters the sacrifice ability.

Golos seems like a great 5-color Commander.
