ScreenRant has an early preview of the newest planeswalker to the multiverse. Oko, Thief of crowns.
4 Loyalty
+2 Create a food token (huh?)
+1 Target Artifact or creature loses all abilities and becomes a green Elk creature with base power and toughness 3/3
-5 Exchange control of target artifact or creature you control and target creature an opponent controls with power 3 or less
Right now the wildcard is that +2. What are food tokens?

It is very nice to see that Garruk has been freed from the curse of the Chain Veil, but I dearly wish that the novel of this set was available in physical form or to read online; can e-books be read on a normal desktop computer? I wonder what role Garruk shall play in future stories?
Fabled passage is a very nice upgrade to Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse , both of which I consider to be mediocre at best.
Why are there so many cards that have abilities that trigger when a player draws their second card each turn? Also, the cost of activating the ability of improbable alliance is too high; six mana and discarding a card is not worth a single card, in my mind; if the ability had cost four mana, it would have been reasonable, in my opinion.
Happily ever after is a very interesting alternate win condition card, and I have already seen some player complain that it is too difficult to meet the conditions for that card, but all alternate win and loss condition cards are difficult to use, because they would be too powerful if they were easy to use.

The Great Henge is quite awesome, but the fact that its final ability triggers only when non-token creatures enter the battlefield limits its usefulness.
Unexplained vision would have been so much better if the crying occurred before the drawing, although I suppose that that might have made it too powerful.
Stormfist crusader is very nice, so I may get several copies for some of my decks.

The E-Book should be available for desktop/laptop use.
The second-draw is the R/U limited theme for the set, similar to the same theme in Modern Horizons.

The Great Henge has some weird tension on the surface at least. It rewards you for having a single big creature with (1) ramp, which you'd probably would rather have to cast said fatty and (2) an ETB draw & pump trigger, which encourages you to build a deck that casts many creatures rather than a few big ones.
Still, I like it, and if you compare it to Beast Whisperer & Guardian Project I think it's fair to say that it'll give OK mileage if you can consistently cast it for , or at least . Creatures with 5 or more power yet CMC 3 or less like Wayward Swordtooth and the recently spoiled Vantress Gargoyle seems like the most straightforward way of achieving that, but I could also see dropping something less huge on one turn and then giving it a boost with an Equipment or Aura on the next so that you can cast the Henge on the turn after that. You could also use a pump spell/ability which gives more than 1 power per mana and cast the Henge on the same turn as the pumping. Accumulating +1/+1 counters is another option, and there's probably a few more I haven't thought of. A neat puzzle design with many solutions.

Most important question: why isn't Garenbrig Carver an Artificer?

Oh, Sage of the Falls just goes near-infinite with The Locust God .
