i'm tired of all the people guessing at what she looks like in card art form, so i decided to find it. And i present you with a Blank Plansewalker Card, (as i've No idea what she does, :-/) With the information we're clear on what she does. as well as the direct art that i recieved from a friend.
Mods, do what you will with this, either lock or delete, it's just art that i got, so i made a MSE mockup of what the card hopefully will look like. we've no idea on what she does, But in all honesty, my speculatory ideas are already posted in the speculation forum
the Art is by Volkan Baga if that helps in even the slightest

why do people keep posting random stuff on the rumor mill. keep this in speculation or card creation please, I thought you actually found the real art.
edit: the way I read the OP, it sounded like he googled some art up and made a MSE mock-up. sorry!
also, god that is ugly. totally doesn't look like art I'd find on a magic card.
So no Black planeswalkers, 2 monocolored and 2 multicolored.
white and red get 2. green and Blue get one. I have a feeling when we get another black planeswalker it will be more broken than both garruk and Tezz combined.
More onto the Elspeth Speculation. I think that one of her +1 abilities will be to pump out squire tokens. the other one should be along the lines of vigilance, but i really wish it would give all of your creatures +1/+1 and flanking haha. The best however would be if it randomly granted horsemanship.
the -8 ability... this really depends on what she starts off as. looking at the cost and seeing as we have not yet seen a wrath variant for this first set of the block, (this is usually when they occur correct?) i think that it could be a wrath the turn after she hits the field, but maybe even the turn she hits.
so could she start with 8 loyalty? then there is a drawback to playing and wrathing the same turn, but does this make her strictly better than ***? is it more likely to see here with 7 loyalty?
Also i find it very flavorful that a Knight would come out with such a high loyalty
Edit: Wow, while Ravarshi you normally are one of the people on this site that keeps me coming, i am slightly annoyed that you would post stuff like mana cost and +/- costs without truly knowing what they are. (If you do know these and put the correct ones, disregard this statement.)
Edit: Ravarshi i see, and i agree with your reasoning that it feels 2WW its such an iconic cost that a white planeswalker should be
i got hte art from a friend, and the mana cost is just a Guesstimate, she just feels 2WW, that's not confirmed

Nice find on the art. I think it likely that for the real card, the art would be zoomed in more, and also that it would be pushed up in the card frame so that the head is near the top of the card (and with the top of the head just popping out above the top frame), like most planeswalker cards.

This is identical to the art from the Planeswalker's Guide to Alara. As far as I know, the casting cost, or even colors of this planeswalker have not been revealed, so the card is speculative. This isn't new information.
So we have a white, a blue, a RW and a RG planeswalker, right?
the blue one seems from Esper, the white one from Bant.
Ajani is clearly from Naya and the Vol is shown on the Jund wallpaper.
It looks like Grixis is totally ignored by the planeswalkers. But haven't we seen Liliana in some other art?
And as we all know, if one color gets ignored in a set, it will return overpowered in the next. (Torment ftw!)

No planeswalkers on Naya because no one in their right mind would choose to live there... it says right in the Planeswalker's Guide that Grixis is a place you visit briefly at most, and only as an example for students of necromancy. Even if you are a necromancer, after you've learned the advanced techniques of the plane, you'd get out of there to where there are more resources for you to reanimate. Living things are too scarce and there is too much competition from other necromancers and demons.
True, although i agree that it will probably be 2WW or 1W (making her the cheapest plansewalker ever)
i would love to see her using the exalted mechanic, dropping in small tokens with it, then her large ability could be something actually useful for once. on a side note i do believe also that since squire pops up 1 time this will be the card it uses.
+1 -Put a 0/1 Human Squire Creature with exalted into play under your control.
+1 -target creature you control gets +0/+6 until end of turn.
-8 -gain 20 Life
This is identical to the art from the Planeswalker's Guide to Alara.
This IS the art from the Planeswalker's Guide. At least, from what I can tell - it's a scan from a book, anyway. There's a giant crease down the right side of the picture where the spine of the book is.
And jeez, we've known what Elspeth looks like ever since we got the Ultra-Pro deck box image with all four planeswalkers on it. WEEKS ago. People saying this is not Elspeth, or that they hope the missing planeswalker is mono-black, or some of the other statements I've seen thrown around just make my head hurt.
I guess with the next Planeswalker's Guide, I'll be sure to scan in some of the more interesting art. It seems that there's a lot of people who didn't buy it (yet) and see this art as new info.
it's possible for her to be Tri-colored, but in all honestly, that would be suicidally stupid on WotC's part, as Mythics seem to be the herald of the set, and the selling point. That's the art from the planeswalkers guide, according to the buddy.
And for those people who Cant get eh planeswalkers guide in the Other countries. Try Amazon.com or other Websites to try and get it shipped to you, even England has thier own kinda Book shipping store.

Everything about her character that we have been told so far points to her being White, so far there is no evidence for any other colors. She will likely be mono-white.

wow nice pic.
i wonder why would not make her creature type as Human Knight Planeswalker
I guess wizard is avoiding planeswalker creature types.:rolleyes:

I have to say, Volkan Baga did a great job on this art if it is indeed the art of the card. Stoic Angel and now this, he's on a roll.

For God's sake...people, before you post something like this, please at least look at the picture of the Shards of Alara Fat Pack:
And now tell me who could probably be the lady between Tezzeret and Ajani at the cover of the Player's Guide....
This is a legit Elspeth's art. We also know that her abilities are +1/+1/-8. What we do not know is the starting loyalty and CC.
Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)
i would love to see her using the exalted mechanic, dropping in small tokens with it, then her large ability could be something actually useful for once. on a side note i do believe also that since squire pops up 1 time this will be the card it uses.

That'd be Akrasan Squire.
