This pretty much confirms which versions the Walkers are going to have in M15. It's pretty interesting that Garruk doesn't have the same kind of picture... Does the real version of Garruk have the same artwork?

Maybe Garruk will not be in M15 at all.
That's kinda possible but it would be pretty odd to not have the sets face in the set itself.
The playmat artwork for Garruk looks like it wouldn't translate well to the back of a sleeve. He's shrouded in mist and subdued. Maybe they figured the close up would look better for the smaller products, and only used his real art for the playmat?

Remember this thread with the Funko figurines? Looks like it was rather accurate, althought Garruk had interesting art in the bottom right gray circle.
If this is true it's exeedingly *****ty that we're not getting either a new Liliana or a Mono-B Garruk.
Mono-B is both the color with the least distinct walkers and with the least walkers in general.
And **** that "but muh standard black is the best deck ever", blue is the best deck for 4 years straight (actually forcing bans in standard) and no-one complains but black gets to shine and suddenly it's a new shoah.
Wait, so all this hype about a new Garruk and we're not even getting a new Garruk planeswalker card? Yesterday the thought of this seems silly enough to joke about but today it seems like a reality...
The 'face of the set' is the Garruk PW release promo card we saw yesterday.
Think about it. The coreset is suppose to bring new players to the paper product after they played Duels of the Planeswalker. Never before have the videogame and the paper set looked so similiar (both sharing the same, gritty, specifically 'metallish' style). The story of both the game and the coreset is how we, and the 'Scooby Gang', hunt down a Garruk that went insane. In the game you hunt his trail, at the (pre)release you face the actual good ol' green (well, used to be) walker himself.
Hunting for big game indeed, WoTC.
Okay, so, looking at the Garruk event card, it's using the M15 Marquee art. The creepy Garruk face that is on the side of the fat pack, not even in full distinct color. Now we have this new, dark, creepy with the axe playmat Garruk, which definitely won't be used as a card? Art that is definitely the sort of thing they could use on a planeswalker?
You really think they commissioned that piece of art to poorly edit it to make a Garruk cardboard stand-up and only that? Not use it for anything else? Like, say, a Planeswalker card?

Lol at this. Black the least distinct Planeswalkers? Welcome to red (in everything for that matter, not just walkers). At least black got the second best walker ever printed. Red got...tibalt?? Koth and M14 Chandra are the only decent mono red walkers
Black only has Liliana of the Veil, both other Lilianas and Sorin are fringe or Mono-B exclusive EDH cards. And that's all we have, two different walkers, one with only one good card, and one with none.

In Garruk's Wake
There's still the mugshot from the toys, so Garruk still has one new art unaccounted for.
That art you described is on the release foil: In Garruk's Wake.
Huh... so it is, that does damage things a tad. (I read the effect of IGW without seeing the art for it.)
Still feels out of sorts to not have the face of the set as a card in the set. Especially when the giant Garruk card does have a color identity in the frame. What's the point of making a BG Garruk without actually making a BG Garruk.
On that
We had the art for Liliana vess, Chandra pyromaster and New Jace and Ajani. People complained and wanted LotV but allthe Merchandaise points to it .
That 3rd Garruk's art looks indeed like a PW card' art
So we're getting a BG Garruk only it's not a real card but an event thing?
And Lili is getting another boring reprint, with the veil most probably getting a print in the same set? If Liliana of the Veil is too powerful for Standard (how is edict too strong when the go wide set will follow?) then design a new one!
Instead it seems we get yet another version of Jace and Ajani..
It wouldn't even surprise me if M15/Khans is full of black-hosing cards to utterly anihilate the color as an offering of peace to the poor blue mages who weren't No.1 for a single standard season.
Bitterness aside I just can't understand why they don't give B and R more planeswalkers, they're the least dynamic colors, the only ones who still have their weaknesses harshly enforced instead of openly circomvented like everyone else, and on top of that, neither has more than one competitive playable planeswalker. Hell Sarkhan the Mad may be one of the top 3 worse walkers.

Jace and Ajani just had big plot things happen to them. Since they didn't do a Guildpack Jace in M14 (probably because they hadn't had the vorthos backlash from Garruk long enough to deal with) they're doing him now, 'jani just took a huge blow from the end of JOU.
A blooper by MaRo? If true, then Ajani will probably be Goldmane as well.. ONly jace is up in the air, But strong indications point to the Architect of Thought.
Sorry if I'm going about this the wrong way!
But my friend found this link somewhere, I don't know where, but if these are upcoming "official" products from Ultra Pro, then...
[1] Are these the five Planeswalkers that are going to appear in Magic 2015 -- Ajani, Jace, Liliana, Chandra, and Nissa?
[1b] Potentially Garruk for a "major" Planeswalker akin to Nicol Bolas in Magic 2013? (But it is that "Garruk the Slayer" artwork, so...)
[2] Based on the artwork, the Liliana will be a Liliana Vess reprint, and the Chandra will be a Chandra, Pyromaster reprint.
[2b] But is that new artwork for Jace for a new Jace entirely? Or a Jace, Architect of Thought reprint?
[2c] Same for Ajani... at least, I don't recognize the art for Ajani or Nissa. New Planeswalker cards, or just new artwork?
Miscellaneous thoughts, really.
Sorry if this is more speculation than anything else!
Draft it Here!

I believe that playmat artwork is for In Garruk's Wake.
Because Standard, Mono Black is already the best deck.
Wouldn't be the first time. After all, there was practically no waiting inbetween Garruk, Primal Hunter and Garruk Relentless.
And booooo, please tell me they're not gonna cop out and give us Liliana 1.0.
Look to the bloodlust deepest scar
Look to the scattering Brythonic uprising

Mono-B is both the color with the least distinct walkers and with the least walkers in general.
And **** that "but muh standard black is the best deck ever", blue is the best deck for 4 years straight (actually forcing bans in standard) and no-one complains but black gets to shine and suddenly it's a new shoah.

If she was blue he would be demanding for the card to be reprinted.
