The fact that there's a Viashano and a Vedalken at the end is likewise interesting. It almost made me stop and give up because I was sure there couldn't possibly be those two and Thallids in Alara, but I guess it makes sense if the theme of the set is a whole bunch of separate planes coming together.
This looks legitimate, if not someone put a ton of effort into it. Nicolas Bolas is interesting but wizards didn't want walkers to be limited to cycles and this sends a message that they will be in sets besides the the first part of the block.

We haven't seen the planeswalkers printed in ALA interacting with each other, unlike the Garruk/Lilliana feud, and Jace vs. Chandra, so it may not be a "cycle".
Looks like "Grixis" gets their walker. (Albeit he probably has his hands in more than just grixis, but, he has the right colors.) I doubt there would be any other walkers, and the listed names are probably Legends.
The only problem is that Bolas is one of the old planeswalkers, vastly more powerful than any mere player. To represent him on a card almost implies that his power has been neutered somehow. (After TSP storyline, they could invent any stupid rationalization and it would work though.)

They could have Bolas have something like Hymn to Tourach instead of Mind Twist, saying that he's too arrogant to use his full power against mere mortals.
Unsummon is just core material. Wordly Counsil is some kind of draw, but I'm not sure if it reach it's potential with 3 color decks. Mana Cyclix makes 5 color decks possible I guess. Maniacal Rage is crap from the past in my opinion.

hey i have managed to evolve my axolotls by feeding them thyroid glands the thyroxine contained in these gland is enough to change these water dwelling creatures into land based creatures

Tay, that's not evolution. It's metamorphosis. Evolution means descent with heritable modification – individuals cannot evolve, unless they're Pokemon.

Wow, i think this is the earliest that we have EVER had the Name and Number Crunch done before the previews even start, sweet find!
As for Nicol, it kinda makes since, seeing as we had some speculation about the last Ultimatum not having a 'walker in its art while all the others do.
If this is true, CON rumor season is going to hurt. People can just pass us fake cards...and the names will already be known. I don't think any amount of orb-fu is going to save us.

Well the people who usually make fake cards are really really bad at it, and besides it would have to match up with the orb witch the fake cards have almost never done lol.
Child of Alara...
Might of Alara...
I wonder...

Interesting. One hell of a leak though.

All we really need is 1 card confirmed in a preview. If one's right, they're all right.

Great. Let's just wait another 3 months!
Still, true enough.

Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker
Sound like a couple of Mythics to me. I wonder what colro (s) Nicol will be as a planeswalker...
