There you can find these "new" pics :). There are also a lot of other matherial like wallpapers. I think it worth to download the one from your guild.
Also, just in case you did not notice; in the "Advance Search" page in Gatherer (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Advanced.aspx) now you can search the cards of your guild selecting the "mark" entry (The one that before only contained Phyrexia/Mirran)
Actually the Mark selection was there before Phyrexia/Mirran since it was original Rav that had watermarks.
The Simic one reminds me of Shielding Plax. Similar plates, tenticals...
"Tenticals" as in "identical tentacles"?

The creature on Shielding Plax is just a regular simic mutant sort of thing... And seeing as the izzet laboratories were destroyed, they've taken a more natural turn, and are now being lead by a merfolk.
Meaning that it's pretty unlikely that it's got anything to do with the 'Plax.

I'm really, really excited for Simic. If it's a kraken, perhaps even more evidence for Kiora Atua's arrival in card form? Either way, I'm excited to be getting a tentacled creature out of the keyrune.

I was thinking the same exact thing...except creature types aren't exactly the same and I was thinking Simic would be a 1/3 hexproof. But 1/4 sounds relatively reasonable too, but shuts down aggro pretty hard.

Actually, if you read the description of Simic Combine at the GuildsOfRavnica.com, it is cytoplast (and the unnatural augmentation) that was abandoned. Plax is still used, it is said that the ceiling light-holes at Zameck are covered by plax.
The roof of Zameck contains many openings to the sky, covered over with an Æther-infused organic material known as plax to create opalescent skylights, which makes the chamber seem almost as though it’s underwater.
As for the keyrune, it seems most like Cephalid - but seeing that merfolk were just currently "brought" to play a role in Ravnica world, I assume that they would refrain from adding another (and Dominaria-specific so far) blue race. I vouch for Octopus, a supported type of creature.

Considering just how disliked the Cephalids where, that is highly unlikely.
I don't get why people disliked them. They had a distinct political take on Blue that hasn't been done before or since, and they look freaking cool. Plus, they have a Legacy deck too! (Okay, it's a legacy deck with only one Cephalid, but he's a doozy)
I guess people would have preferred bland, boring Merfolk. Although Merfolk have been getting less bland and boring since Lorwyn, thankfully.

The wedding is over. Now it's time for the honeymoon.
Seems like everyone is hoping for simic to be some kind of sea creature. But I have to say, where y'all so tentacles, I see vines and the 'head' looks a bit like a plant head. Think Little shop of horrors
Whilst the multitudes go about their business, we listen; we skulk; we watch and see all. Do you yourself possess the necessary skills and aptitude to join our hidden ranks?

The 'pips' on the appendages right below the head look a bit too much like suction cups, as seen on an Octopus.
You could argue for Seed Pods, but I would disagree.
Hexproof or Shroud? Well, plax still exists and it was mentioned by the guys from The Pit. That must be something. I just don't know if Wizards will keep going pushing Hexproof forward, you know, because of Geist of Saint Traft. That little guy is a monster.

I don't honestly know, but, in Ravnica, they had the Snake Elves. Seems like Wizards forced a change in their philosophy, but I do not discard the chance of seeing weird mutant races.

Those p/t's seem kinda busted to me. I agree with Boros and Dimir (unblockable for Dimir). But Gruul seems too good. Trample fits but it's probably a 3/2. Orzhov is likely a 2/2 at best but lifelink does fit. Simic probably gets Hexproof and is a 2/1 to balance that.

My bet is Thrull - 1/1 Flying Lifelink, just like Mourning Thrull was.

So it'll basically have flash and hexproof? That's way more than any other keyrune so far.

I think he means the artifact will have flash, and it could morph into a 1/3 with hexproof, which seems kinda dull.
Although, flash mana rock seems appealing...

The Boros one not having Double Strike would be a crime against flavour.
Level 1 Judge
It should definitely be a 1/2 with doublestrike.
Boros: 1/2 Soldier w/ Double Strike
Simic: 0/4 Plant or Saproling Creature w/ Defender
Orzhov: 3/2 Thrull w/ Lifelink
Gruul: 4/2 Rhino w/ Trample
Dimir: 2/1 Spirit w/ Hexproof or unblockable
