I tried following what k0lj0 did to get to the image (as well as to see what else was in the files for myself), but I'm an idiot and don't know how to change file types. I tried opening the 1.txt file in a simple Quicktime image viewer, and got this:
Dack is definitely red (it'd kinda be a crime if he didn't match his colour identity in the comics) and has what appears to be Careful Study/Faithless Looting for a +1, a Mind Control ability (or Act of Treason?) at -2, and a -6 ulti that gives an emblem that has to do with targeted spells that's too tough to discern for sure.
The second ability is probably gain control of target artifact

Yeah, I realized that after I posted. Makes a lot more flavour sense and also wouldn't be busted if Dack is at 3-4 mana (which I'm assuming he is, since Wotc hyped him up as being "too strong for standard".

Wait wait wait. I want to know why you both didn't get the same result. k0lj0 is a new account and could very easily be part of the conspiracy as far as I'm concerned, albeit pointing us in a direction.

I did too. I followed what k0lj0 did, got the 'fragmented' image when opening in window's photo viewer, then opened the file in VLC after Stapler said quicktime, and I got the same image He/She posted. I'm currently trying different file types because It looks like the text in the txt file may be masking the full image.

I honestly don't have a clue. I tried opening the txt file in other programs, like gimp and paint, and they all get the same result as k0lj0. Only on PictureViewer do I get the image I posted. We're clearly not supposed to be able to see that, though.

My guess is that they gave only half the image and told him/her to cut out part of it. We are able to see what they provided, but not any more
+1: Target player draws three cards and then discards two cards
-2: Gain control of target permanent
-6: You get an emblem with "whenever a player casts a spell that targets a permanent you control, you may choose a new target for that spell."
I don't know about the -2, that's really powerful, my guess is gain control of target artifact/enchantment. The ult on him fits flavor well with reverberate/fork and redirect though.

If he comes in as a 3 loyalty then it may be possible since he will most likely only get away with it once. They did say he was going to be really pushed since they didn't have to worry about him in standard or modern. That is pretty strong though, lol

It is clear that his -2 ability has only one text line, so there is certanly no room for "until end of turn. Untap it and it gains haste until end of turn." clause. So, -2 ablility is to steal something forever. The best guess is that it's an artifact.
Is
+1 Faithless
-2 gain control of an artifact
-6 some emblem thing
Really considered "pushed" though? Its a good +1, but that -2 is useless against a huge number of decks. Its also hard to evaluate planeswalkers based on their ultimates unless they come in with a lot of counters.

It's hard to make the call when we don't know either the CC or the Starting Loyalty.
I suspect the -2 may be an attempt to make him Vintage-viable.

I think there's enough room for the -2 to be "Gain control of target artifact. Untap it." Which significantly improves his playability in Legacy/Vintage and would definitely push him. You can always target your own Time Vault or Grim Monolith to gain value off that ability.
As what most are saying.
+1: faithless looting
-2: gain control of target artifact (there's a Mirrodin card that does that right)
-6: twincast/reverberate emblem (90% confirmed)
All in all, 3cmc or 4cmc isn't out of the order. If wizards wanna push him, since he's not gonna be legal anyways, it'll be 3cmc

How is that? "1.txt" has lesser size (198 KB), it simply can't be the one you posted (237 KB).

Gain Control of Target Artifact
Whenever you cast a spell that targets an opponent's permanent, gain control of it (or something similar, he's a master thief)

This seems perfectly believable, and I *love* that ultimate! I hope that's it!
