Things we can ascertain from this as being absolutely and totally canon:
Teysa Karlov collects paintings of other pale black-haired women (Cunt Knows Cunt)
Her collection likely focuses on women from other planes, likely even before planeswalkers became common knowledge.
There is/was a thriving interplanar art trade that we never heard about.
Liliana, Death's Majesty, was an in-universe painting that Liliana sat for.
Since they didn't really have time for that in the original story, it must have been on a previous visit (likely to confirm Amonkhet was Razaketh's home plane)
This means that Teysa Karlov had a painting of Liliana Vess in her collection at the time of War of the Spark.
Upon realizing she had a painting of Nicol Bolas's top general, she moved it to a place of prominence on the grand stair because that's a real fucking power move.

❝ The moment Liliana defied Nicol Bolas, her contract was broken and her life was forfeit. But she was free to choose her fate, and she decided it was worth the price. ❞

"so despite the fact that they'd been laying the groundwork for them to date for ages, the war of the spark novel explicitly made chandra straight, which was weird coming from the guy who dumbldor'd lexington from gargoyles before dumbldor-ing was a thing"

Ob Nixilis, the Hate-Twisted (War of the Spark) - Sansyu

Idk if this card is canon or not but here me out:
The existence of this statue on Theros means some Planeswalker either built or commissioned it. Was it Liliana? The Gatewatch (sans Lili, bc she was in hiding directly after)? Did Nahiri help with her stone magic? If Liliana had it commissioned, do the rest of the Gatewatch know it exists? If not, does Lili know?
Gideon died on a world that was not his own, saving someone nobody else deemed worthy of saving. His sacrifice saved not only all of Ravnica but the entire multiverse. Do the people of Theros know that Gideon saved them, or do the few people who knew he existed still believe he died as Kytheon of Iroas?

I decided that a four-way would be the most interesting matchup to end on.

Nicol Bolas: (Almost repenting) I might have made mistakes...
(Ugin stares at him in disbelief.)
Bolas: ... accounting mistakes.

Magic: The Girlbossing: The Final Showdown
Over the course of the past two months, the girlbosses of the multiverse have battled it down for ultimate girlpower supremacy. We've seen some fierce competition throughout this battle, with some surprise upsets along the way! That being said, the time has come for us to end this battle and decide: who is the most girlboss?

Let's get a brief summary of our contestants' feats going into the finals: On the left side of the bracket, we have Khan Alesha of the Mardu! A fearsome warrior from the distant past of Tarkir, and Magic's only canonical transgender woman! In her life, she lead the Mardu Horde, a warrior clan built on three edicts: "to conquer is to eat," "to rule is to bleed," "victory or death." Ancient tales of her exploits tell of her facing battle, leading her horde, and felling dragons all with a smile on her face. While she ultimately threw her banners aside to cooperate with Kolaghan's brood, her legacy is still unforgotten, with a clan of transgender warriors still battling in her honor today.
In her ascension to the top of her side of the bracket, she has slain many a challenging foe, such as: Marit Lage, the eldritch horror trapped beneath the ice of Dominaria, cutthroat queen of Fiora and schemer beyond equal, and Liliana, the demon-pact necromancer who once defined what it meant to be a Magic Girlboss.
On the right side, we have the gorgon-planeswalker assassin turned Golgari queen, Vraska! In her work as an assassin, she held one creed: "A person should die the death they deserve." Through her dramatic, ironic assassinations which called back to the way the victims lived their lives, she amassed a following by which she dispensed her own version of justice across the Ravnican Undercity. When she was forced out of the shadows by Jace, she responded by inciting revolution within the Golgari, rallying her followers to allow her ascension to the throne. On Ixalan, she became a pirate captain, sailing to find a highly sought-after treasure and ultimately succeeding in her mission. At this point she also fell in love with Jace, beginning Magic's most iconic Girlboss/Failguy relationship. As of the end of War of the Spark, Vraska stood as undisputed queen of the Golgari Swarm, with most who would stand as obstacles to her power eliminated.
Vraska, too, has faced many a foe. These include Beckett Brass, the admiral of a vast coalition of pirate crews, Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar, whose demonic dishes were to die for, Emrakul, whose interplanar influence and destruction knows only the bounds of Innistrad's ancient moon, and Teysa Karlov, a fellow guild-leader who somehow combines banking and priesthood while making it look sexy.
Beginning on Monday, May 15th at 12:00 PM EST, witness the conclusion of a story arc that honestly is better than anything MTG has actually had in the past half-decade. Will the Mardu Khan reign supreme, or will the Golgari queen cut her way to the top? That is for all of you to decide.

fanart of Nicci B. (Nicol Bolas) I once did. I also did a parallax 3D version of it by painting a bumb map over it. Got it buried somewhere in the endless depths of my fb feed. Don't know if I'm gonna try fish it out of there sometime.
