I can't get the link to embed on mobile but this card is super interesting.
Underworld Breach 1R
Enchantment - Rare
Each nonland card in your graveyard has Escape. The escape cost is equal to the cards mana cost plus exile three other cards from your graveyard.
At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice Underworld Breach.

Note that it's an enchantment, so
* You can't use it to pay escape costs.
* Cards that go to the graveyard after you cast this still have escape costs.
Nylea, Sharp-Eyed -- 3G
Legendary Enchantment Creature - God
Indestructible
As long as your devotion to green is less than 5, ~ isn't a creature.
Creature spells you cast cost {1} less to cast.
2G: Reveal the top card of your library. If it's a creature card, put it into your hand. Otherwise you may put it into your graveyard.
5/6
Shadows Over Innistrad common ability placed onto a mythic. Seems good.
I have to imagine the goat is some myth reference.
Anyway, free sac outlet that can recur itself.
All the temples revealed.

OP
On one hand, life payment for the card draw. On the other, it triggers off of tokens.

One of those cards that I think people would have thought more highly of if it had fewer abilities. It's a 5-mana creature with 4 power that draws three cards.

Plays into a similar space as Ilharg the Raze Boar, though you sacrifice the creature.

Repeatable graveyard exiling. Or repeatable life gain / card drawing if you look at it another way.

Legendary Enchantment Creature -- Harpy

At the beginning of your end step, you may exile an enchantment card from your graveyard. If you do, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token.
2/1
If you use Dead Weight on turn 1, this is a potential 4 power total by the end of your second turn. Also you can legend rule her and exile the sacrificed card, since she's an enchantment creature.

"Inspire Fear"

Prevent all combat damage this turn except for enchantment creatures and enchanted creatures. Scry 2.

II. Create a colourless 0/4 wall artifact creature with defender
III. You gain 2 life.

"Nylea's Other Disciple"
Creature - Human Druid
When ~ enters the battlefield, you gain life equal to your devotion to green.
2/2
Nylea's Disciple already saw play, so I imagine this will outright replace that, unless the 3/3 body is that important.

"Glimpse of Freedom" - 1U

Draw a card.
Escape - 2U, Exile five other cards from your graveyard.
Repeatable Think Twice.
"Sweet Oblivion" - 1U
Sorcery
Target player puts the top four cards of their library into their graveyard.
Escape - 3U, Exile four other cards from your graveyard.

One mana less than Evangel of Heliod for one less toughness. Might just be enough for it to see play?

Labors of Heracles reference
Probably going to be a blocker most of the time, but it's a psuedo wrath when you attack, though one that draws your opponent a lot of cards.
Seems good for the escape cost.
"Rebirth for Glory" - 3WB
Sorcery
Choose one or both
* Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield.
* Return target Aura card from your graveyard to the battlefield.
And here's where I should go over how Aura reanimation works. The Aura will enter the battlefield not attached to anything, but then you can choose whatever you want that it could enchant to attach it to. This does not count as targeting, so you can attach a negative aura to an opponent's creature even if it has hexproof. However, you can't enchant a creature with protection from white with a white aura this way, since the rules of protection specifically prevent the creature from being enchanted.
OP
OP
Note this can target itself
Someone was asking for a horse fish
Limited removal
MaRo's article mentions that the mechanic vision design sent over was Stygian, which worked like Raging River. You created a river token and some creatures would be on the dead side, others on the living, and you could switch creatures around through various mechanisms they tried. In effect, it seems like it worked more like shadow than anything else, since creatures on the dead side couldn't be blocked by living creatures.
God variants are up

Murder for 2 mana if you have BB on the battlefield. Unclear if it being 4 mana without permanents is too much of a downside.
Omen of the Sea - 1U
Enchantment
Flash
When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, scry 2 then draw a card.
2U, Sacrifice CARDNAME: Scry 2

OP

Weird card. Most often, you want to use this with auras like Mire's Grasp to kill your opponent's creatures. You can use it on your own creature in a pinch (including Dawn Evangel). And of course, it incidentally helps your own enchanted creatures.
Anax being one of the major characters of the first block. The fight part not being effected by the previous steps feels odd, but this is a good card.
Oh hey Thassa flickers, what a surprise
I like how the constellation has her bident, but her main card doesn't because Kiora stole it.
Ash Phoenix 1RR
Flying Haste
2R: +2+0 until eot
Escape 2RR, exile 3 cards
Escapes with a +1+1 counter on it
2/2
Of course there had to be a phoenix with escape. Seems good.
New character for this demigod.
Since people have asked on Discord, increasing the cost of spells that target you or stuff you control has only ever been in blue.
More details about the stygian mechanic, and this preview card representing Achilles.
Pretty interesting. The random choice was specifically to prevent opponents from metagaming it. Note that it's protection from every other converted mana cost, and that protection prevents him from being blocked.
Seems decent.
Also seems decent. I feel like "create two 1/1s and gain 2 life" at 2W on an instant already saw play recently.
Saprophage Harpy - 2B
Creature - Harpy
Flying
When ~ enters the battlefield, exile target card from an opponent's graveyard.
2/1
Shimmerwing Chimera seems like it would be good in Limited.

The First Iroan Games 2G
Enchantment - Saga (Rare)
I: Create a 1/1 white Human soldier token.
II: Put three +1/+1 counters on target creature you control.
III: If you control a creature with power 4 or more, draw two cards.
IV: Create a Gold token.
Gold tokens are artifacts with "Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color." Unlike Treasure, it doesn't tap. Gold tokens were created before Treasure tokens but mostly abandoned for the latter because tapping made it safer. They used Gold here purely for flavor reasons, I imagine.

Really good Limited aura
Remaining demigods
Both are good. Anax leads to sacs for days. His flavor is sad.
