{U}{G} is for sure Kruphix, God of Horizons.
See: {Agent of Horizons}, {Prophet of Kruphix},  {Horizon Chimera},  {Horizon Scholar}, etc.

{G}{B} is for sure Pharika, God of (?).
{Pharika's Cure}, {Pharika's Mender}. I guess god of Poisons or Venom, because both cards of her name talk about how "the venom" curing "the sickness" of some sort.

{R}{U} is Keranos, God of Prophecies.
Mentioned on {Steam Augury}, and is the king of the scry (Prophecy) colors.

{W}{B} is Athreos, God of (?).
Mention on {Sentry of the Underworld} and other death and undeath related cards. He comes of a big time keeper of dead souls kinda dude.

{W}{R} is I think Akros? I can't tell through the flavor texts if Akros is a God, a place, or maybe both? I'm at a loss for this one right now, but I -think- it's Akros. And with Boros colors, a theme of Victory and combat seems likely.
Akros is a place full of battle-minded people similar to Sparta. I believe the rw god is Iroas.

Are you sure? I figured Nyx would be a colourless god. I thought during the BoTG trailer that it was Nyx talking.

No it was Xenagos talking in the trailer

The art work was spoiled for set..  It's a picture of Ajani and Elspeth going up steps and at top of steps it was Xenagos head... 

So the journey to nix will be about both PWs traveling up to Nix to bring down Xenagos

I want my deck to have all the standard legal {W} planeswalkers

I think we might see a creature that forces your creatures to enter tapped, yet makes up for it somehow to inable inspration

I'd love to see more Dragons. {Forgestoker Dragon} is awesome (scored a promo!), and I'd like to have more Demons that I'd actually play. Since {Shadowborn Apostle} came out, Demons across the board have been kinda crap.

Phairika, god of Potion or Poison. One of the two.
{R}{W} is Iroas.

Atheros god of passing(Extortion?) {2}{B}{W}
Legendary enchantment creature~God
Indestructible
Devotion business
Whenever a creature you control leaves the battlefield target opponent loses 2 life and you gain 2 life
3/6

This would be fun with the board effects black and white got in BoTG
Oh let me play {abhorrent overlord}....and oops! all those harpies just died. Have a nice day :p

I think Keranos might be the god of storms and prophecy. He's mentioned in {Lightning Strike} as the cloud being his arm which is why I'm thinking storms. He is also mentioned in the name of the card {Stormcaller of Keranos}

I haven't seen the art, could it be Brimaz rather than Ajani?

Spikepit

Nope, he's got that double ended axe staff thing from memory.
