With Theros being if Greek theme is there any Mythical or Legendary creature you want to see appear in the block? I personally want a Namian Lion card.

I hope the cards are mythology themed, just not exact copy. Pray it isn't legend themed like kamigawa
Bring out the kraken
I'd actually like to see something similar to the Trojan horse. That was brilliant military tactics right there

Yes I owe a lot to the Trojan.
Maybe an enchant that says when the creature attacks, another creature you control is unblockable this turn, turn {armored transport} into a Trojan horse
I think if they were gonna do something more like the ninjutsu

lmao. Not THAT Trojan
A magic version of Hercules and planeswalkers in togas.... The consumer is the clear winner here.
Trojan horse would be cool!
Might look something like this.
Trojan horse. {2}{W}
Enchant player
When trojan horse enters that battlefield put an ambush counter on Trojan horse for each creature enchanted player controls.
During enchanted players upkeep remove one ambush counter, that player then sacrifices a creature.
"All's fair in love and war, and this my friends is war"
Or it could look like this
{W}{R}{3}
Trojan horse
Creature-???
Defender
Whenever Trojan horse enters the battlefield, target player gains control of it.
At the beginning of Trojan horses controllers upkeep, its controller takes 2 damage. Put 2 1/1 white and red soldier creature tokens into play under its owners control. Those tokens have haste
0/5
Very cool! It's kinda like a {Sleeper Agent} that makes tokens.
If the set does revolve around Greek mythology, think of all the cool equipment there could be!
Hermes winged boots (hast and flying)
Zueses lightning bolt (tap to deal three damage)
Poseidons trident! (Tap islands or somethin')
What about the card types.
Mortals
God
Demigod
I'm getting fired up thinking about it!
Trojan Horse
{5}
Artifact
Trojan Horse enters the battlefield tapped. When Trojan Horse comes enters the battlefield exile 2 creature cards from your hand.
{5} {T}, Sacrifice Trojan Horse: Put x 1/1 solders tokens with haste into play where x = the combined power of the creatures exiled with Trojan Horse. Exile all tokens in play at the end of this turn.

I know right? Been a while since ive been this fired up over Magic.
I want to see campe! Woman with winged dragon body scorpion tail and various bear wolf and lion heads coming from the waist and holding a scythe... Maybe too complicated o.o
If theros is an enchantment block, think we will see something that gives enchantments flash? Or that gives auras flash?

Sorry I really have to correct this, it's Heracles, not Hercules, Hercules is the name that those stupid Romans gave him when they stole the myth

Kles - meaning famous, Hera meaning the goddess, his mother. Heracles, made famous by Hera, because of the challenges she sent his way. :)
They should make a king Leonidas card! Flavor text should read "madness! This is Sparta!"

The Romans stole virtually every Greek myth and changed the names of the same gods because that's how original they are

To be even more precise it is Héraklés [Ἡρακλῆς]...;) You know greek history and myths are so great and look at them now...:) Bankrupcy... Laziness...
Does anyone know who the planeswalkers will be? I personally want another version of Ral, but I know he was too recent.
I hope ther introduce a new red-white one, not like {Ajani Vengeant}, since they sort if failed that. It should be like a Boros planeswalker. Just my view.
Maybe, instead of the gods, they will be planeswalkers with slightly altered names? That would be very cool
Which gods do you think would be which colors if they make them?
Some are obvious like
Zeus {W}{R}
Poseidon {U}
Hades {B}{R}
Athena {W}{U}
But what about the rest?
I see hades as {B}{U} seeing as blue is considered to be a manipulating color.
Maybe all three since he's also sort if chaos/fire. Having three colour decks/planeswalkers would be GREAT, if they were the opposite of the shards.

the wedges? I don't think they'll do those since they just did multicolor. I'm guessing 4 years after ravnica block

I see why your saying that, seeing as hades lives in a firey place, filled with despair and chaos.
Although, hades is usually considered more refined. Look at his depictions in movies and such. Think about Hercules, hades was very refined, and wasn't really chaos-y.

Actually the name means "glory of Hera" which was an attempt to appease Hera because she wasn't his mother, even though Zeus was his father
I'm imagining that they won't use the real Greek names but instead of "Zeus" it will be "Lord of All", or "Lord of Lightning". Aries would be "Lord of War", etc. I am sure they will give them names though. having 5 mythic rare cards (for example) all starting with "Lord" doesn't sound right. "Insert name here, Lord of insert aspect here".
"Lord of llamas"
I see your point.
BUT DO YOU SEE MINE?
