Sweet. The Prizes mention "Nissa's Chosen" and "Emeria Angel," which in my mind, is as good as confirmed names for Zendikar

Emeria Angel must be the seraph (six wings) on the top of the page. Very cool art, and a nice crown to boot!
I'd go to this if it wasn't on Halloween. :/

Based on what we're seeing w/ Mycoid Shepard and Naya Sojourners for M10's game day, I'll go ahead and assume Nissa's Choice is a Rare and Emeria Angel is an Uncommon.

No, it'd be the other way around, and Nissa's Chosen is likely a common anyway.
Emeria Angel sounds nice, hopefully it'll be actually be playable (or played, we're spoiled as hell for a 5/4 with no drawbacks and a good ability for 4 isn't good enough for constructed play)

Seconded on the Emeria Angel art. Will she make 1/1 White Bird tokens? The Birds look interesting, they have a loopy-looking thing behind their head.

Nice find indeed.
Art is nice, not surprising that we have angels and elves in this set at all. (Nissa's Chosen can't be anything other than an elf, IMO)

I'd say that you have it backwards. Lately, (other that Serra Angel) haven't we seen angels only at rare? But I could have it wrong. A card with a planeswalker's name in it would be a good card in a rare slot. Urza's Rage comes to mind.
Uh-oh! Another promo alt-art angel I've got to get my paws on... and I don't play Standard. *sigh* Hope she's not very good, so I can get them for the cheap.
Don't know how I feel about this realm having all the typical MTG creature types... I'm hoping they do it with some creative bends story-wise otherwise it'll feel like Shards with rocks in the air.
possible bird token generator. How many wings does she have? it looks to me like 5 but that doesn't make sense. im goign to go out on a limb and say 6... weird

For those that are interested in the literary roots of the angel art we see in MTG.... I'd also be curious to hear some other texts describe them.
Seraphim are mentioned by name in Isaiah. Note it doesn't describe what they look like aside from the wings.
Quote from Isaiah 6:2 »
Above him stood the seraphin: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
Later John describes six-winged beasts in a vision.
Quote from Revelation 4:8 »
And the first creature [was] like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face as of a man, and the fourth creature [was] like a flying eagle and the four living creatures, having each one of them six wings, are full of eyes round about and within: and they have no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, [is] the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come.
And finally, we can all celebrate Zechariah for giving us pretext for the hot winged babes on our Magic cards. They aren't called Seraphim, it doesn't say how many wings they have, and they aren't specified as being hotties... Of course, the Bible really only specifies a few hotties like Esther now that I think about it.
Quote from Zechariah 5:9 »
Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came forth two women, and the wind was in their wings; now they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven.
Uh-oh! Another promo alt-art angel I've got to get my paws on... and I don't play Standard. *sigh* Hope she's not very good, so I can get them for the cheap.

Great find.
Hopefully no "I am a battle type but i have the most illogical of armors ever!" types of Angel illustrations. I hate those even if the art is good.

Seraphim are known to have six wings.

Are magic Seraphim known to have six wings too? I thought that was only Eldritch-Horror biblical Lovecraftian Seraphim.
For those that are interested in the literary roots of the angel art we see in MTG.... I'd also be curious to hear some other texts describe them.
Seraphim are mentioned by name in Isaiah. Note it doesn't describe what they look like aside from the wings.

Wha??? Holy crap! Then when do you go beg for free candy and throw eggs at stuff?
Yes, but people elsewhere in the world have other holidays that basically do the same thing, like Guy Fawkes Night and Carnivale.
