In the playmat on the left, its already been said that the stain glass window on the left is the full art version of Emeria Angel, but the one thats partial obscured by the focus of the art in the centre, between the wings.... that's the art for Mayael's Aria.
i have said it before and i will say its again the quality of the art for these sets just keeps going up and up and up
have seen the angle before but glad its what's going to be on one of the mats however i do not think its is going to be the speculated abomination angle as i see no indication of this angle being tainted in the least (although the name could be referring to it gets rid of abominations so if thats the case i guess it could be)
the kor is also awesome. just as a question who though that the kor were not coming back? they are a central race on this plane. also the forger idea for this card is very likely for this card considering the synergy the kor have with equipment
In what universe? If you build a deck like that, and ever draw that hand, I will personally come to wherever you live, perform complicated acts of awestruck ********, then disembowel myself to escape the world that allowed something like this to occur and validate you.

The angel is not Shepherd of the Lost..."Halo over the eyes" bit is kind of the thing for Zendikar Angels (even the Angel tokens have them)
Also, I'm being dumb...can someone point out to me the Emeria Angel art in the stained glass? I've been staring at that thing for a while, and I still don't see it (also, I'm bad at Magic-Eye)
They're not talking about the normal Emeria Angel art. The Zendikar Game Day foil card was Emeria Angel, and it looks just like the stained glass in the top left. Just look it up on Google and you'll see they're the same.

The art on the right defiantly has something to do with equipment. Though it just might be me, if you look at the swords from a side view it kind of reminds of molten metal in a cast for a weapon that you would see a smith make.
Well, that and the Argyle signature on the lower right. That window does look like Mayael's Aria though haha.
Anyway, the second art also looks pretty dang cool, I could see it as:
Kor Swordforger 3W
Creature - Kor
When ~ enters the battlefield, if you control a mountain search your library for an equipment card and put it onto the battlefield attached to ~. If you do, then shuffle your library.

i absolutely love the both of these. i will probably pick both of them up at some point, but the angel just barely wins out as the one that i will use the most.
I believe that one of these is new art, we already had seen one of them. But both of these will be available from distributors based on store box purchases.
I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
the angel w/ 6 wings... so cool. really want that one.

I think the left is probably the new landfall o-ring angel, no? Also, I love love love the Zendikar angels with halos over their eyes and 6 wings. They are my favorite angels in magic so far. The right playmat definitely looks like an equipment tutor to me.
I agree with others here-- there's something 'off' about that Angel. Haven't liked her since I saw her spoiled on the deckboxes/sleeves.
Like others mentioned, I believe its her pose (very unimaginative and dull, from a figure drawing perspective), the manner in which she holds her ridiculously large sword (reminds me of the silly way the Akroma reprint holds her two-hander), the overdone 'flow' of her robes... ignoring the needless midriff cut, her exposed abdomen appears flat and not very well defined. One of the first rules of character design is that your creation should have a meaningful, recognizable silhouette. Not really seeing that here.
Compositionally, the entire piece is kind of a mess, as it draws your eyes all over the place. Makes it hard to actually focus on the (admittedly beautiful) angel in the center.
I love that second one, though. I actually wouldn't mind having that as a playmat. The Kor is beautiful and strong, at the same time.

Have a helicopter drop you off out front. Light your cigar with a small Indonesian boy holding a black lotus. Then bust out a craw wurm deck with no sleeves. Raw dog shuffle, loose terribly, flip the table, leave in a hovercraft.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
I love that second one, though. I actually wouldn't mind having that as a playmat. The Kor is beautiful and strong, at the same time.
She is nondescript and has no features that can justify a belief in that second quality.

It would be weird for that to be an equipment tutor though... because there already is one in this block.
And... that's the lamest tutor ever. There isn't an Equipment worth searching out, and hasn't ever been one aside from Sunforger (OH WAIT-).

Did everything just taste purple for a second?

EDIT: I can see the Mayael's Aria in the second one...is the Emeria Angel flipped in the first one?
I'd say the one on the right is way more interesting then the angel on the left.
It's just way more appealing, yes the angel seems sharper and more fine tuned but you can tell they were drawn differently.
Also what's up the rocks having what appears to be swords with a hook?
Fire-Hookswords?
If an opponent controls a plains, you may pay less?
That "if you control a BLAH" land theme is reliably showing up in the semi-spoiled cards now, so this isn't that much of a stretch.
Ah, my bad...yeah I can clearly see that now.
I like the fact we're getting beauty, power, terror and badassery in equal therms from MTG art.

Whilst the angel is sexy and all, I think I prefer the one on the right. Go go expanding playmat collection.
