I gotta say, the most frustrating part about this video (I'm sure on purpose...) is that as soon as he brings up another card to the foreground, all the cards in the background come into focus. You can see the red berserker and the legendary book one clearest when he is holding up another card in front of it...
If it's viral marketing, it's very possible that the cards were printed with faded text ON PURPOSE.
My thoughts exactly. Dumbest faker ever, to have perfectly legible and completely illegible cards in the same shots. If it is indeed real, the blurriness is on purpose.
Here's Google translate's interpretation of the description:
Quote from Youtube video description »
Found when moving a box with cards Magic: the Gathering, which formerly belonged to my uncle (he taught me to play, but it was quite a long time). There are many interesting things, but since then, as I opened the box to create something strange, I have nightmares, but at night I sometimes hear strange noises as if someone writes something or closes the book.
He has "nightmares" ever since he found the horror-themed block spoiler cards? Definitely viral marketing.
Given that it's clearly viral marketing, I looked for further clues. Do any of the other seemingly random cards have any significance? he shows us vampire bats, hymn to tourach, amongst others. i am currently looking for some similarities and possible functional reprints. also I noticed that there were a significant amount of savannahs compared to the rest. perhaps a shout out to the human tribe being more predominant? I could just be digging too deep but whatever. also, he pans over to the magazine spines briefly. is there any references to anything relevant on them? really hard for me to read them.
This is probably all for naught but I've seen some virals that were sorta puzzles.
You know, something i just noticed: Travel Preparations is basically GW, G casting cost, but a W flashback, pointing to it being a card of the humans. Now, the only other human card we have at the moment is Mikaeus, who shares one thing in common with this card: +1/+1 counters. Perhaps this points to a general theme with the humans? +1/+1 counters to help buff them up against the horrors of Innistrad.

Does seem pretty likely, doesn't it? Seems Mikaeus was the flagbearer for the theme in the face of this card at common.
The thing that gets me the most is the white creature... not the fact that it has a day symbol on it, but that it only has one creature type.
Look at the Mayor of Avabrook. He's a "Human Advisor Werewolf". It makes the distinction that he's a human, as well as a werewolf. So... my question is this: if she's not a werewolf, what would she turn into at night?
+1/+1 counters could be a Human-related theme, or it could be that +1/+1 counters are going to be played up in this block in general to contrast with Scars block. I'd expect Vampires to be using lots of them as well, for example.

On the Evil Twin card, you can actually see both UB on the right side of the text, I have no idea what it could be a part of, but I think no other UB shape shifter has that in their text, so it can't be a re-print.

I don't post that often, but when I do, it looks like this.

No other card is named "Evil Twin" so it can't be a reprint.
This is viral marketing. No one would but blurry picture of cards on the net when they could just re-film the cards so everyone could see it. Plus what was the point of showing the other cards?
Did anyone find it odd that they made sure to show us all those dual lands when a really good fetch/get land block is leaving out of standard? I believe it’s a hint that Innistrad will have some sort of dual land or something. I especially believe that after reading how in-depth the Planeswalker guide went into describing each lands and all of the alternate art pictures they shown.
OP, how did you find this video?
Was it a link somewhere, or did you just stumble across it?
Interestingly, your past posts on this forum are kind of intriguing. . . Your first few posts almost sound like a survey - like you're trying to gauge perception and understanding of the EDH format, maybe doing research for the commander release. . .
I'm not trying to be offensive if you're not an insider. In fact, your other posts are almost TOO WELL thought out.

Could just be Creature - Human, or Creature - Vampire. The text box blur isn't long enough even for Enchantment. The fact that she's a Day creature, and the fact that Creative left out a very distinct detail (how vampires operate here; they can differ after all) could very well mean that Humans turn into multiple things at night, if cursed with vampirism/lycanthropy/etc.
@Mindrot: Was thinking that also, but the fact that the artwork has part of her form in the sunlight made me think she's something other than a ghost, even though her form is largely lurking in the shadows. Then again, you're probably right now that I'm thinking about the color allocations that we know for "tribes". She's quite probably a ghost. Notice how all of her viewable attributes other than clothes (i.e. flesh, face) are away from the light.

While true, my question still stands. It can't be a werewolf, so what else goes bump in the night? Obviously we don't have the answer yet, but it does point to the fact that not only werewolves have the day/night mechanic.

Anyone else see that the Artifact Book thing is a Mythic? It was alot darker than the other symbols, almost redish. Man this video just got me so excited now.
From what I gathered it was a common, Rare, Mythic, Rare, Uncommon shown in that order.
Also notice at the end he opens a blank book, possibly the same book in the Mythic Rare Book.
If this video's purpose was to get me to perorder a case of Innistrad well then you accomplished your goal. Good shop sir.

I refer you to my struck text for the answer to that. I thought Vampire, but then realized that probably wasn't it unless we can "transform" them into appropriate-color tribe cards. Or else we really do have white vampires (O.o)
Oh. This would be interesting: she turns into an Angel at night, to fight the darkness. Nothing's stopping this from being a plane where everyone is semi-normal during the day, but all the bumps occur at night, all the transformations of the fight versus the darkness, etc.

In the "A Planeswalker's Guide to Innistrad: Introduction" it does talk a lot about the different seasons. From what the Magic Creative Team wrote emphasizing the winter season as the longest, and the exaggeration on the duals in the video, the speculation of snow-duals may have some sort of merit.
But if there are no snow-duals I sure hope there are regular ones.

This is real.

At any rate, the mythic? artifact is 'Grimoire of the Dead', and is legendary.

It has a power and toughness. You need to look pretty hard to see it, though.

I meant a functional one, I am sorry.
This might be some kind of Viral marketing. I mean if I were to make some fakes I wouldnt have them blurry like that.
