So is a God basically a Planeswalker, only confined to their local plane?
A god is a legendary enchantment creature with mysterious abilities and are able to travel between the enchantment world of Nyx and the real world of Theros.
speaking of which. I think journey into Nyx is all enchantment creatures
That would be epic!!! Although I highly doubt it, there will probably be quite a bit of enchantments but they will still have some stuff from 'the real world of Theros' like Heroes, Satyrs, Centaurs, ect.
why is it called "Journey into Nyx" if the set doesn't take place in Nyx?
Yes, but there will have to be some non enchantment creatures, Wizards wouldn't make a whole set with only them because they didn't know how people would respond to them. The set will most likely have some normal creatures that are "invading Nyx" or are "servants" or "devoted to the gods". Maybe a Heroes quest to destroy one of the gods or a war between that gods that centers around devotion.

Although if they were all enchantment creatures (because like you said, wizards is testing the waters with them) you could potentially have a green wrath in limited

{G}{G}{2}

Sorcery

Destroy all enchantments

Doing all enchantment creatures in the last set would create an interesting limited format because the colors have more options and it could shift the color pie around without actually shifting the color pie around. And it would be different and hone skills as people adapt to something new

Yeah, I would love it too but it would confuse beginners (could you imagine trying to learn during that set) and would anger too many people (there are already people throwing a fit about these enchantment creatures).

there were people throwing a fit about the transform mechanic at the beginning of innistrad, yet there was an outcry when there were no transform cards in Avacyn Restored

Everyone was excited for Kamigawa when was first revealed "Ninjas, samurai, dragons oh my!"  then people got Saviors of Kamigawa (I personally love Kamigawa but many consider it as one of the worst sets ever). My point is players are fickle and Wizards knows this too so they won't do anything too drastic, like make a set with only enchantment creatures.

Birdbrain

They might if they extended pillow fort into all colors. Not just white. There's also potential to make new archetypes here. They could even push the cost of enchantment creatures sense they have more ways to be removed

Birdbrain

Or they could make the enchantment creatures do things that enchantments or creatures can't do on there own

Plus there's the fact that people are fickle like you said

I just want to see a set with all enchantment creatures because the idea is so obscured

All-Mana Mania

Kiora will be in this set and u/g and ajani will be w/g.

What about the minor gods? Here is a chart we can fill in as we fill it out:

{W}{U}
{W}{B}
{W}{R}
{W}{G}
{U}{B}
{U}{R} Keranos (source {Steam Augury} flavor text)
{U}{G}
{B}{R}
{B}{G}
{R}{G}

Other stuff:
Pharika, God of Poison ({B}{G}?) source: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/ur/263
i think the {W}{B} god is called athreos

Hence {scholar of athreos}

I don't get why there will be so many Green Planeswalkers then. That means that Green has (depending on what you splash)  {Garruk, Caller of Beasts},  {Domri Rade},  {Vraska the Unseen}, Kiora TBA {U}{G}, and apparently Ajani being {G}{W}. This means that you have every possible 2 colour green pw!!

Neither Kiora Atua or a {W}{G} Ajani are confirmed, they are just, as the title suggests, Baseless Speculation.

Or maybe Kimora won't be in this set and will be in the next block. Return to some Merfolk place!!!
