No spoilers yet, but there are some pictures we can speculate over!
Seems to be some contention over who the lady is, but most think it is Saheeli. I'm leaning towards Pia Nalaar.
I didn't notice anyone discussing the fact she's got Tezzeret's arm.
On second look... She's got two mechanical arms, so I guess they aren't Tezzerets...
And here's arm-less Tezzeret with what appears to be Salvage Titans.
Yeah, I'd bet on Pia, because why would we get another Saheeli card? Perhaps Pia as UR now? Although it does seem kind of odd that she'd get two cards, unless that just isn't card art or is just some random spell.
Masterpiece Salvage Titan? Lol. No, maybe just a reprint.

The Gatewatch rescues Pia and kills Tezzeret?
How is that Tezzeret's arm? It doesn't look anything like that, given the ornaments the arm has while Tezzeret has a Phyrexian claw.
Regardless of the reasoning, I had come to the same conclusion.
Where does Tezzeret stand on the sliding scale of morality anyway? For those who follow the lore, is he a good guy or a bad guy?
And if he's a bad guy, why would he be given such an esteemed position on Kaladesh?
Isn't he supposed to follow the trope of a good guy working for bad people?
Edit: nevermind he's evil
He's Bolas' lackey, which makes him a bad guy. If he got a good position, it's because he's A. Wealthy B. Skilled in metal magic and C. A manipulative bastard with access to Bolas' resources. Also, it doesn't seem like the Consulate is entirely good either (See: Baral v Chandra)
He's the classic "character with a crappy upbringing who, instead of rising above it to becoming a shining champion of the oppressed and downtrodden, instead turns into a scheming, back-stabbing mofo." He'd be doing all the same bad shit he's doing now if he weren't Bolas's muppet, he just doesn't have a choice in which bad things he does because Bolas has a claw up his ass at all times.
Kay...
So was he evil as Tezzeret the Seeker, or did he become evil? (or was he reconned as always being evil)
Read up at the link... looks like 'the Seeker' was always evil or was reconned as evil. Tez didn't get his spark until moments before Bolas revived him and made him evil. So unless the card depicts Tez between 'his spark igniting after being mortally wounded' and 'Bolas reviving him', he was evil...
He turned evil in his very first appearance, before he met Bolas or even ignited his spark.
No retcon necessary.
If that woman turns out to be Pia, she somehow lost like almost 20 years of age in between sets... oÔ

Bolas' claws slipped from the decanter with a soft tone as he leaned back in his chair. The Dominarian leather still brought back memories of other times; greater times, happier times. He swirled the leaded wine in its glass and watched the flames dance in the fireplace. The mantle, fashioned from bones of his enemies, cast mottled shadows across his face as he contemplated the fire. No one could possibly understand. No one could grasp the depth of his sorrow, his suffering. Particularly not the younger generation that dared to call themselves "Planeswalkers." They were barely more than animals, happy and content to have learned how to create fire to cook their food. He had been able to command the very stars in the sky. And then... lobotomy. His very mind was ripped apart, his power stripped away. So far... he had fallen so far.
Bolas sipped from his glass and sank deeper into the armchair and his thoughts.

1) Is going to involve the Jacetice League. Bet on it.
2) I love Dominaria as much as the next guy, but what's left there? It's a clusterfuck of devestation with whole continents gone, Rath overlay and time rift shenanigans. Also, shouldn't slivers be rampant there now?
