They're previewing it right now!
Go look!
Those basic lands are OP
For my confessions, they burned me with fire/
And found I was for endurance made
Being evasive + scalable could prove interesting for big mana decks, but who knows.
Protection and card selection. Sounds alright in my books. The conditional removal side looks kinda ass, though.
The Jaya planeswalker seems somewhat comparable in power-level to Chandra TOD
This effect and a 4/5 seems pretty decent, but four mana sure is a lot. I don't know what to think on this. Just costs too much probably.
Definitely better than Degavolver.
Probably still not quite good enough for D&T.

I wonder what the balancing was behind Guardian of New Benalia's last ability was. There's no timing restrictions, so discarding in combat doesn't matter after attacks/blocks.
Is there going to be some common Shock type of effect, so you'd be forced to tap it and then can't combat with it? Can't figure out a way that "Tap it" ends up mattering almost ever.
In a format with Dark Ritual, Moxen and Sol Lands, there's a reasonable chance to cast this. The Underworld Dreams effect is nice, but I wouldn't be surprised if the lifegain got broken with black card draw. Think Greed, but with better draw effects that are cheap enough (because breaking Yawgwin and Griselbrand is win-more with it).
That is a very convoluted way of trying to do banding without being banding.
This is pretty silly with Skeletal Scrying or Necrologia in black stompy, but I doubt it'll break anything. It does dodge Decay, Ending, Bolt, REB, and Snuff Out though.
More realistic usecases may be with Castle Locthwain or Urza's Saga -> Currency Converter
Monoblack Reanimator could run it as a backup threat that also gets silly with Griselbrand.
Sheoldred works pretty nicely with Sylvan Library. You get to gain 4 life even if you put the cards back. She also turns Brainstorm into a +6 life card. And she makes the opponent's Brainstorms costly. She is also nice with Burning Inquiry. The 4 mana cost is high, but there are a lot of powerful things that can be done with her ability. Having her out makes running Wheel of Misfortune pretty fun.
If you can support it color-wise, she's also gas with draw 7s like Day's Undoing or Echo of Eons. Gain 14 life, drain 14 life - casual 28 life swing. Is it better than leaving your opponent handless with Hullbreacher/Narset? Probably not due to color requirements, but it's something to keep in mind.
A colossal fuckup was made and you can read the release notes here:

(this link a rehost). It's not every card in the set, just the interesting ones.
WotC at its finest yet again!
5 mana is alot, but might be cool in a white stompy deck. Timeless Dragon should be able to smooth out the curve quite a bit.Danitha, Benalia’s Hope
{4}{W}
Legendary Creature — Human Knight
4/4
First strike, vigilance, lifelink
When Danitha, Benalia’s Hope enters the battlefield, you
may put an Aura or Equipment card from your hand or
graveyard onto the battlefield attached to Danitha.
Magic players can't handle their Roman numerals.• In most cases where the value of X isn’t defined in the text of a card, its controller chooses the value of X.
However, the X in King Darien’s name is always 10.
• XLVIII is forty-eight.
IV.
It's just modern idiots who can't pay attention to 1 simple rule how roman numerals work.
On another note:
Given that they are just advertising call backs to nostalgia now, how much of the current target demographic is actually nostalgic for these characters from 20+ years ago?
