Anyway, does anybody else find it hilarious that Scott Johns could have lied in public? PRETTY CONVENIENT, for Matt Cavotta to have 'family affairs' around this time, eh? Pretty BLASTED convenient, eh?
Oh, and M.C., if it turns out that something in your family is seriously wrong, then my apologies. But still, nice timing.
Not to be argumentative but actually Jeremy Cranston's statement was "I'm sorry I fired her, I didn't realize how ferocious Rebecca's fans were... I won't make that mistake again!" I spoke to her via email a few times, especially during this time, and indeed she was completely fired by Cranston. As in, she was told not to contact them anymore and that she'd never paint for them again. WotC's response was actually a bit of a cover-up. Just wanted to clarify, since you mentioned it.
Holy crap. So does that mean Guay is offically not gonna do any more art post Rav? ot that she "was" fired and got rehired? If she is accutally still fired, Why has it taken so long for this to surface, and why aren't people taking it to WotC?
I know I am gonna send in a complaint if thats the case.

Quote from Tang4433 »
I think that WoTC felt that a lot of the players thought Standard was becoming mundane and a joke from all the nuked cards floating around. R&D took a vacation, and MaRo just started reprinting things.
Of course, until reading R_E's post above, I had always (well, after "the initial misunderstanding had cleared") bought the line about her just being taken out of Onslaught Block for not being in-theme for it. So now I'm forced to conclude, "wow, Cranford really is a dick."
Even if the art appeared on Wizards' site as a consequence of the leak, I still believe that Matt's (wonderful) column wasn't ready for personal reasons. If they simply wanted to put up the art, they could have easily made it the Arcana or a special feature or given it to Matt to showcase at the end of his article. (Granted the timing of the last one would have been tight, but he could have just written a one-sentence blurb about it.)

Nitpick: Guay did do art for Onslaught: Enchantress's Presence. Mirrodin block is when she was absent for "not being in-theme".

Hey, you. Yes, you reading this sig. Get off your computer, go find a copy of Skies of Arcadia: Legends and play it. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

She was let go for Legions. The official line given to her was that her art was too soft and light and it didn't fit the intense, in your face muscly art style (read: yawn) of the evolving Onslaught block. Her not appearing in Mirrodin is just a further consequence of her being fired.
i believe he said the whole rehiring was a cover up, i still want to know the truth.

Is this guy a member of the Orzhov guild (symbol)? Ghost Council?
Good eyes, caesarion. This guy is definitely Orzhovian, but I would think that he is another of the discussed "potato-folk" or "spud-folk", as they are called. Well, maybe the Orzhov have found some means how to encase spirits in these bloated physical bodies. Maybe these are the "weirds" discussed on another thread.

nice catch Caesarion... gonna take another look at the Rav trailer.. Maybe i can find some clips of the Gruul and Simic guys.. And maybe take a second look at the Two-page ad that they released....
that Angel is kinda hot.. and Scary.. Totally Goth. Oh crap.. thats what is.. a bunch of medievel goths, at least the females. Their gonna be such downers compared to the Izzet (ADHD finally gets a nod in Magic).
"It's a good time to grab a mirror, because that's the same face you're going to see whenever you get this guy into play."
i dunno but it also could mean something along the lines of it may 'clone' itself when it comes into play....would be very fitting and flavourful of a UR card.

They got removed due to legal issues. Lockwood was informed by his webhost and put up the images by mistake, wizards saw this and he was asked to remove them.
Quote from Aaron Forsythe on Guildpact: Twenty Questions »
When Guildpact was handed over from design, it also had seven gold rares per guild,... and that the seventh gold rare in each guild was less important to the set than the Nephilim. So each guild is down a rare in this set.
Gruul, Izzet and Orzhov. Officially screwed by WOTC.
also if anyone cares they show all of the gulid leaders/ other legends in the couple seconds after the fight between the two giants. The thing that sticks out the most to me is this big annenmoie(sp) with tenticles on the top. The other dude fighting the boros giant is the g/r gulid leader. you also can see rakados breething fire along with some other guys. If anyone can freeze frame the last couple of flashes you will see what i mean.

I think it simply means "See how shocked you are to see this cool art? That's the look your opponent is gonna have when you play this bad mofo!"
the Angel Chick reminds me of Palla, the Rakdos Bounty Hunter mentioned in the Ravnica Novel, although she can't be her.
Also, I think the troll/cyclops guy is Cisarzim, Lord of Chaos (again from the novel.). And the axe he is carrying is Skullhammer. (which I also believe will be in the set.
Hope this wasn't already proposed.

It was, and both of these had been disproved.
How could the angel remind you of Palla? The Rakdos bounty hunter, had mossy, thick hair, glued together by muck and who-knows-what-else. She also had used metal claws, steel teeth and she had white, skull-like painting on her face. The angel has nothing of these.
And the cyclops? Cisarzim is dead. If he weren't, I bet that Svogthir had a big problem if he would want to use his torso as a part of his own body. The cards feature CURRENT leaders...and the current leader of Gruul Clans is Borborgymos. As for the Skullhammer, I think that it could be possible to see it, especially if this weapon was passed from leader to leader in the Gruul history.

I'm not trying to suck the fun out of it, I just don't like squeezing water from rocks.
I wouldn't be surprised if the leaking of the art spurred the official showing of the art.
Even the WoTC boards had the arts on them.

There is a link at the bottom that states "Watch the Ravnica Trailer". You can either download or watch it in flash.
Maybe they will come out with a trailer on Guildpact. I love the idea of a trailer for MTG and will love it more if GP has one too.

thx to FH for sig
You cannot see them because they were removed after Lockwood himself asked us to do it. The only *officially* known is the Niv-Mizzet image now.
So no, I presume that we could not post them.
