Jace, Reality Sculptor Prediction
Now that Maro has confirmed that the new ability that makes a unique token is >!Empower Jace (which is amass but for a planeswalker token that has -1 surveil 1 and-3 draw a card!< in his podcast, as spoiled in the commander party materials ( called my shot https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/1vy6frv/the_mechanic_that_creates_a_token_type_no_other/ ), I have another prediction:
The Multiverse Reforged precon for this set seems to be headed up by [[Jace, Reality Sculptor]], who has a - loyalty ability that protects planeswalkers you control, not just himself (like in [[Jace, Architect of Thought]]. It would make sense, then, if the "Make Tokens" portion of the deck is not made up of creature tokens, but >!Jace tokens!< . My guess is that they will be created by a triggered ability, whether based on spells you cast or phases of your turn, rather than a + loyalty ability, so that you could use the - ability to protect them in the same turn.
My guess is that one of the other abilities is a chaos warp effect, but will be more like discover, where X is equal to the loyalty counters on the planeswalker that was sacrificed. You flip over, and if the cmc is less than or equal to, you play it. otherwise, you draw it. It could also work with creatures, or at least creature tokens, based on Power or Toughness as well, but that would stretch the theme pretty wide. (they may want it to be more generic since it'll be one of the only WUBR Commanders, but I hope not).
Having these abilities that all interact with creating, protecting, and using planeswalkers allow for the planeswalker cards (like Echoverse Gideon, which I expect to have an ability that brings it back from the graveyard) to appear in the deck while still going with the theme of "Make Tokens" and "Chaos Stuff" without pulling it too far into generic Superfriends.
It also fits great thematically, as we see Jace the Theorist dividing himself into pieces that he's trying to use, attempting to pull off something crazy that might work out great or whiff and lead to big problems (as is his main character arc on repeat), and potentially sacrifices his (relationships with) his fellow planeswalkers to accomplish his goal of Reforging the Multiverse.
last but not least, a plea to Wizarxs. give us a Kallist card in this deck that would substitute for a Jace Planeswalker. it'd be so epic.
