Will Tezzeret be the New Main Villain of the Story?

Now that Bolas has been defeated, I wonder who the next major villain in the story shall be. Of course, I doubt that WotC shall start another expansive story arc with a major antagonist so soon after finished the current one; it is more likely that they shall want to have a series of smaller independent story arcs before beginning another major arc.
However, I still wish to speculate about who the next major villain shall be, and I feel that Tezzeret is a good candidate. He has bene serving Bolas for some time, albeit very grudgingly, and, now that Bolas is gone, perhaps he has his own schemes and plans that he could not enact before now?
Also, how likely is it that the planar bridge shall be a central aspect to the story, again? I know that some of the heroes destroyed the planar bridge that Tezzeret used to open the portal between Ravnica and Amonkhet, but I doubt that WotC would have introduced such an element if it would not be used multiple times.
What does everyone else say about this? Will Tezzeret be the new main villain of the story?
I always thought tezze was neutral and only with bolas because he had no choice. I'd prefer to see a redemption arc with him.

Tezzeret is more neutral than anything, he was only bound to Bolas's will. The Phyrexians are being built up as the next big-bads but it makes sense for Tez to be involved in that story since he has intel on them.

During the War of the Spark novel, once Tezzeret was relieved from his task, he claimed that he would put forth his own machinations. I'm not seeing very much room for redemption, but I'd expect a story arch involving him sometime in the future

Well we still need to wrap up the Garruk and Lilliana storyline, and unless his curse is lifted I could see Garruk being an antagonist.
I would also love to see Tezzeret as a main bad, as he has been my favorite walker since I started playing in scars of mirrodin. I agree that they seem to be setting up phyrexia as the next looming interplanar threat, as phyrexia is consistently being referenced in new cards. (commander set introduced atraxa, modern horizons introduced mirrodin besieged)
Also who knows if Bolas is truly gone. Just as emrakul still exists in the mtg universe, they're on the shelf for now. An eliminated threat that hasn't been explicitly killed so they're available in the future.
A lot of fun to speculate none the less!!

Is davriel really evil? It seems like a truely neutral character he just does whatever will serve him best

I haven't read the book about him, but I am decently positive he is true neutral.

So some insight on this: a single chapter of the new book was released, and it seems like Oko (the new faerie Planeswalker) might actually be the new villain, with Garruk being a secondary villain under his control (Oko gained control of Garruk using magic, and did a monologue in the chapter about how laws constricting freedoms arent his cup of tea so sounds like a villain thing) so maybe not this story but a future one could be tezzy.

dbpunk - I couldn't find the spoiled chapter on the Wizards homepage. Do you know where I could find it?

Here's how I found out about it.
I couldn't find the other chapters either, but it's been mentioned a few times in different YouTube videos and stuff.

I think Tezzy might go to New Phyrexia, which would coincide with Karn’s return to attempt to eradicate the Phyrexians.
My second guess is that we will finally see what Ashiok has done on Theros, and there will be a lot of old characters brought back, Elspeth being the biggest one.
