These have been released for quite awhile now, but it does not mean that the interest has died down. Born of the Gods is right around the corner as 2014 brings in BNG and JIN. From the confimation that Ajani will not be making an appearance in BNG as planeswalker to possible reprints such as Ferocious charge and even a black version of Day of Judgement, Born of the Gods is shaping up to be an exciting second set of the gods. The following images include two of Xengos. The first one seems to be his birth as a god, and the next one seems to be his full-on god mode version. What's more exciting of course are those minotaurs. Personally, minotaurs have existed for such a long time in Magic, and have yet to find a home ni Block Constructed, Standard, or any other format other than perhaps casual play.
The horn/trumpet image, I'm definitely not familiar with it. I definitely do not have any idea if it's a reprint or not, but perhaps it could be a legendary or at least a very cool artifact. We don't know yet. The next two images are comprised of Iroas and some soldiers or pantheons or something. Iroas is, of course, the R/W god. It is still pretty unsure whether Karametra is the G/W god, but some are saying that she will be the only that would make sense to fit the title. Yes, it is indeed pretty weird to see a red/white centaur god since most centaurs can be found in green, with splashes in white for some. The last time I've seen centaurs was during Ravnica: City of Guilds, and that one was a 3/1 common with a three-mana casting cost of two colorless and a G/W hybrid mana. If my recollection is correct, it was Centaur Safeguard. Sure enough, Google has confirmed it Finally, it seems that the soldier-esque image is about to bring copies of himself, or maybe tokens of the same creature type.
Mark Rosewater has confirmed through his Tumblr that the planeswalker Ajani will not be in Born of the Gods. It seems pretty clear by now that he will be in Journey into Nyx, perhaps as a GW or W planeswalker. Speculation of Ajani being in BNG or JIN started because of the image released by WOTC regarding the upcoming two sets in the Theros block.
In addition, Mark Rosewater has stated that Kiora will be the only planeswalker in Born of the Gods. This seems pretty understandable since BNG is a small set and having two planeswalkers with a possibility of both having green colors might make it seem unbalanced. What colors will Ajani be in? We'v seen Ajani Goldmane and Ajani Vengeant, sporting white and W/R respectively, so will we finally see a G/W Ajani?
