We don't have any spoilers yet, but that's the new set. It brings back fairies. Good thing there's not already a super-annoying standard flash only deck that will be heavily pushed by this.
If they follow the previous design of fairies = blue guys with flash, flying, and abilities we're very likely to get some good playable Legacy creatures out of this set.
EDIT: Official article and first spoilers coming Saturday, July 20 2019.

Well, MaRo already "clarified" there there will be Faeries in the set, but that is not the set's theme. So, there is a decent chance that they aren't even as "pushed" as the Lorwyn ones were. There might not even be as many, really.

ELDraine = ELD Reign = Eldrazi Reign.Originally Posted by morgan_coke
One of the eldrazi will be in this set!!
(Ok i'm out).
The art here reminded me of old Final Fantasy Tactics style characters.
Well, I'm definitely seeing what look like Key Swords.
KEYSWORDS!
If this is a return to Lorwyn I will be very happy. That set is easily my favorite, with flavor wins and power level to match.

So Eldraine is basically WotC's pop culture take on King Arther + classic fairy tales. Art direction looks good so far. Edit: Art previews here
Although I have to question if they partly try to jump on the Fate Grand Order train (earned over 2 billions last year) after riding the Marvel comic one for so long. I mean they literally copied Archer/Unlimited Blade Works from Fate/Stay Night:
Bonus rip-off points if they made Elspeth a Counter Guardian. Compare the face to her old Duels of the Planeswalker appearance:

This world's Goldilocks is fucking hardcore:

Very disappointing the presentation, he only showed more expensive boosters and more expensive cards. I'm sick of buying always new cards, I want some fun gameplay. War of the Spark was like the worst set in the last 10 years, I want this to be better as gameplay and flavour. And no more planeswalkers please
There is some VERY good art in this set.
Anyone else think that one piece looks like its going to be Grove of the Burnwillows? We got a bunch more Horizon Canopy lands in MH1, so maybe we're getting a bunch of "opponent gains life" lands in this set?
@Barook
I like the other Goldilocks art better, but yeah, definitely a hardcore murder-child. Wonder if she's a legendary or one of the 'walkers for this set? That's usually the only time someone gets multiple pieces of art.
That particular art that looks like Grove is actually a basic Swamp.
As for PWs, Rowan Kenrith from Battlebond is confirmed for the face of the set, since it's apparently her home plane. Whether or not her twin brother also shows up is a different question.
MaRo said that also the brother will be in, and a third unknown planeswalker that we never saw
I as hoping we might see the completion of that cycle...

I think we'll see it eventually. I think it's more likely we see the completion of the Horizon lands in this set, but that's just a guess.

Yeah, just got my hopes up for a moment, haha.
Also, I really hope this is a highly playable card, so we are all "forced" to have Gingerbread Men in our decks:

We just get to see some of the "unique" cards that come in the precon "Brawl" decks for this set:

Fuck. Which one of my quotes do I drop for this?
“Ginger Avenger.“ Still it‘s nothing an En’ginger’neered Plague can‘t handle.
Art style for this set looks really cool, hope the cards are good too, but the product array seems highly confusing already. Doesn't affect me as I rarely ever buy any product from WotC but gonna be bewildering for newer players.
