From the tweet above from Jeremy Crawford, we know that the next suplement book will only have one Arcane Tradition. Which Arcane tradition from Unearthed Arcana do you want to be included? My money is on Lore Master.
I hope it's War Magic - Whilst I like Lore Master, it was way too OP and took away the Sorcerer's Metamagic without any costs. I dislike Theugry because if I wanted a god worshiping wizard, I'd multiclass.
Theurgy is the safe bet. It was popular enough to get at least 1 revision, while the Lore Master scored so low they scrapped it in favor of the War Magic tradition. War Magic may be the pick, but since Theurgy was popular enough to come back I would place my bets there.
Lore master is amazing. Theurgy is more meh for me, but with a few levels in lore master, you can be absolutely prepared for absolutely anything. Min maxing is fun guys.
Reading between the Unearthed Arcana lines, it's almost certainly between War Mage and Theurge. War Mage seems like a favourite for it, but my money's on Theurge - it's already seen at least two revisions, and a member of the dev team has previously stated a personal preference for options for arcane characters who worship deities of magic (as making more sense than clerics in such a case).
I can not find it now, but there was something said during the SoA stream that lead me to believe the bladesinger was coming forward from SCAG to help with the plus one rule. Hope that is not the only wizard option.

I hope it's Loremaster. I don't think that it is overpowered and it is extremely flavourful and thematic. Also it's by far the best Wizard Tradition we have to date.
You don't think it's over powered? I have one of my friends playing one as our main characters "hirelings" and it's literally wiping the floor of the rest of us. Needs a whole heap of balance added in around how many times you can change the spell (like Int mod per long rest or something) to have it sit in the realm of balanced.
Devious serpent folk devoid of compassion, yuan-ti manipulate other creatures by arousing their doubts, evoking their fears, and elevating and crushing their hopes. From remote temples in jungles, swamps, and deserts, the yuan-ti plot to supplant and dominate all other races and to make themselves gods.
I am convinced it is the Theurgist. We know we are getting Favored Soul Sorcerer and Celestial Warlock, both of which are Divine Flavored Arcane casters. Wizard is the only one that is missing out on that flavor unless Theurgist makes it in, which is why I am sure it will.
Plus Mearls says the Theurgist "fills a hole" in the game. Seems like Theurgist is the obvious choice.
It's probably Theurgy from what I hear. I hope not War Mage. I hope they change their minds and add in Lore Master and Theurgy. Just changing the Alchemical Casting to be less Sorcerer-y would make it acceptable to many people, I think.
I can not find it now, but there was something said during the SoA stream that lead me to believe the bladesinger was coming forward from SCAG to help with the plus one rule. Hope that is not the only wizard option.
It wouldn't be, they said it wasn't included in the 25+ number which is where they told us the number of wizard traditions- i wouldn't be surprised if the bladesinger did make it in alongside the new one.

If they do that, I hope they also bring in everything else from SCAG that isn't just lore. Duergar, tiefling and half-elf variants, Totem Warrior options, backgrounds, etc.

They won't. Crawford said only 4 SCAG Subclasses are making it in the book. Nothing else.

I think it is the Theurgy, most likely.

Just an average metalhead who plays DnD in his spare time.
PbP Character: Roberta Thalan, Void Beyond the Stars Otherside
PbP Character: Primus Eidolon, Eotha 2
PbP Character: Usmor Illiqai, Tomb of Corrosion
PbP Character: "Templar" Danver, You're the Villains
Homebrew stuff
I think war mage is most likely.
I hold hope that they've made a Generalist.. But out of the revisions I think War Mage fits the upcoming themes.
Reading between the Unearthed Arcana lines, it's almost certainly between War Mage and Theurge.

Still hoping for War Mage as I hate the Theurge.

You can only change the save type once per long rest.
You can swap damage type around freely all day but that's not anything I feel is over powered.
I am voting for War Magic.
