I could get behind this as it is quite better looking then the 7th and 8th edition ones. Though I will say that I was hoping for a picture that paid homage to the original like Que Serra, Serra - http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/daily/mr129
I guess it could also be Blinding Angel...
But that would burst my bubble...

That looks like one beefy angel.
I hope it's not Serra Angel. She's supposed to be delicate but deadly. Not some steriod infested transexual with wings....
well we went from the origina serra who was very delicate and elegant looking, to the latest version dressed in armour, looking much more like a warrior. the new one could very possibly be serra. though on her sword there is a bit of a sun reflection...so it could be blinding angel.
I think it looks more like a glorious anthem picture personally. It has the same angel-holding-a-sword-over-her-head look as the others, but eh..ya never know

i was thinking glorious anthem also... it just seems like them to mention in the description the whole "some sort of an angel with a sword" and then NOT have the card actually be an angel...
That Rebecca Guay one in that article is pimp. They should use that one, dammit!(And im not particularily partial to her work, either) But the one on the core game box probably is the art for Serra, especially if its on the boosters as well...
edit: for kicks, did a 2 minute MS paint mockup of what that Guay art would loo like on a new-cardface Serra and added it to the other pics below(4th pic):
that's not what happened at all. kamahl stabbed phage, akroma, and some old lady and they became korona. then korona got stabbed by her "prophets" and kamahl got drunk with a mutant centaur
it crossed my ming, also, but there are many other cards it could be that are often inclusions in base sets. maybe blinding angel , maybe sustainer of the realm or some random angel that they may be printing.
The first thing that has striken my mind was: OMG, so this is the new Serra? But at second thought, I think that this heavy armored woman will be either Blinding Angel or from Glorious Anthem. It looks like she are waving the sword, encouraging others...and Blinding Angel was on the 8thEd boosters.

and the sad thing is, the first thing I thought was: 'man, that swrod is all wrong. you can't use a two-hander like that with that shield. eew. And hey, that sword wouldn't even fit in the scabbard! o_O'
There is no Glorious Anthem in 9th, and I will bet money on it. They already voted for a worse one for 9th, but I can't remember the name of it. Oh, and, it's obviously Serra.
My money's on Warrior Angel. The art depicts an angel that is wearing armor, like a warrior. Hence Warrior Angel. It is definitely a reprintable creature.
It certainly looks like Serra Angel to me, in the sense that it's in the right pose for Serra, the long blonde hair, the sword.
Speaking of the sword, that thing's got to weigh more than 200 pounds. Why do they make swords so big in art these days? There's no way I could lift that with both hands - let alone a girl with one hand. And even if she COULD lift it, could she swing it? Fast enough to be used in combat?
Remember the last Core Set Game? It had an alternate artwork of Rhox on the front, and that artwork was used on the foil promo card contained inside. Does anyone think they might put a foil Serra Angel with this alternate artwork inside the 9th edition Core Set Game?
I think it's feasible, r_e, since vigilance will be a 'new' keyword in 9th edition. It would also be a good marketing tool by WOTC to sell additional Core Set Games to everyone, even experts. I don't know how well the 8th edition core set game sold, but I know that every store I go, there is always 4 or 5 of them (out of 6 in a box), and I'm sure they just didn't buy additional boxes to keep up with massive buying of beginner product.

NOT Glorious Anthem; not being reprinted.
Are you both willing to bet your entire card collection on that?
Glorious Anthem WILL be REPRINTED IN 9TH ED. I am NOT saying this is going to be G.A.'s new art (i hope not, i LOVE the angel on G.A. )
About the art. Its serra. They already joked about putting it in unglued 2 (or unhinged), but now, i think its for real!

I think assaulting another player should have a range of penalties. (A light slap is a game loss, a kick in the nuts is a DQ, ghetto-stomping someone is a Ban for Life.) There could be article all about it, like "when to mulligan"
NOT Glorious Anthem; not being reprinted.
NOT Blinding Angel; it's not even bright.

Are you really sure there is no Glorious Anthem in 9th?
Not to mention the fact that Glorious Anthem is long, long listed at the Salvation front page 9th Ed. Spoiler...
I agree with Chimpanzee, this could be Warrior Angel...at least the pose and appearance suits her better than I would imagine Serra.
EDIT: Heh, Nushio, you were faster than me. Sorry.

Maybe some special kind of angel-made ultra-light and ultra-resistent alloy from Serra Industries?:halo: That would explain it.
I hope to GOD that thats not Serra Angel. Hopefully Warrior Angel, but Serra like that seems.................wrong.

If they do, I might have to buy four. Dear lord I'd LOVE a playset of black bordered Serra Angels. Foil no less.
As for the art, it has to be Serra. The pose is perfect. I really like it, personally, because I've always thought a 4/4 should be wearing a tad more than she does ^_~

I never even thought about that; it could very well be.
Even if it is the new art for Serra, I think it looks pretty cool. In fact, I'd like to see an even more aggressive-looking illustration sometime more closely fitting the "serra-ted" adjective that influenced her name.

"...because without beer, things do not seem to go as well."
It's not Blinding Angel because it's not... "blinding" enough... The original had shine...
Glorious anthem isn't in 9th...
Seems too violent for Angel of Mercy...
It's in the same position as the original Serra, only the wings are more awkward... The non-Guay Serras have always had the hand in that position, except the original had the sword in the left hand... I'm convinced Serra Angel's hand is fixed in that position...
The blond hair, the sword's position, the face is exceptionally feminine, I say Serra...
New 9th Ed. Serra Pic?

Course it's Serra.

And that is some fugly armor.
I think it's not serra; I think it's Anthem.
...heey, I liked Serra's 7th ed. art.
