Resolute Archangel - 5WW
Creature - Angel
Flying
When Resolute Archangel enters the battlefield, if your life total is less than your starting life total, it becomes equal to your starting life total.
4/4
Mercurial Pretender - 4U
Creature - Shapeshifter
You may have Mercurial Pretender enter the battlefield as a copy of any creature you control except it gains "2UU: Return this creature to its owner's hand." The King went off to find himself. Imagine his terror when he succeeded.
0/0
Indulgent Tormentor - 3BB
Creature - Demon
Flying
At the beginning of your upkeep, draw a card unless target opponent sacrifices a creature or pays 3 life.
5/3
Siege Dragon - 5RR
Creature - Dragon
Flying
When Siege Dragon enters the battlefield, destroy all Walls your opponents control.
Whenever Siege Dragon attacks, if defending player controls no Walls, it deals 2 damage to each creature without flying that player controls.
5/5
Phytotitan - 4GG
Creature - Plant Elemental
When Phytotitan dies, return it to the battlefield tapped under its owner's control at the beginning of his or her next upkeep.
7/2
Our initial spoiling of Siege Dragon came from blurry duels of the planeswalkers footage, where it's easy to mistake a 2 for a 5. I'd guess that people assumed five because it matches with the creatures power, and nobody could see clearly enough to refute that supposition, so it stuck. It's actually kind of amusing, because people were almost excited for him. Just goes to show what difference a few numbers makes.
Is anyone else disappointed that they chose the type of video they did for this whole reveal? Not like any new cards got revealed, but still.....now I can't respect Garruk until I get DotP 2015 because they made him seem so stupid. And Garruk is my favorite PW D:
IMHO the black one seems like the best choise - it is (rather) cheap, but still brings a fast clock with its 5 power. THe biggest drawback is obviously the 3 thoughness, but how bad the drawback is, is probably decided by the size of uncommon and common fliers/reach creatures and the strenght of the more common burn spells.
And beside the already playable body for the mana cost you get an upside - yes, the enemy decides, but all 3 modes are acceptable in basically any situation (or at least they seem).
Full art sage is wonderful! As far as the pre-release promos, the demon is completely unparalleled. If they want to continue with these boxes and gimmicks, they should at least balance the promos somewhat.

DCI Level 2 Judge
If your question is "What would a judge do is this situation?", only one person's answer is relevant, and that is the Head Judge at your event. I can quote the rules, but I don't know your HJ.

I'm glad it's not 5 cost or 4 cost. It's way too powerful as a one sided pyroclasm that also destroys walls too. It'd be broken.

Why'd you tell him that? Now we'll never get to see his reaction when he realizes it only affects his own creatures, although most of us probably wouldn't be able to see his reaction anyway.
Nothing about any of the promos gets me to want to find and play at any prerelease sanctioned tournament. I can happily skip it. The only thing that piques my interest are the new slivers and Garruk.
Sad about the dragon but not that surprising. Its effect would be disgusting in limited if it did 5 damage. At 2 its powerful but not stupidly so. Out of all the prerelease promos I think I like the demon most, then dragon, then meh angel, then super slow titan of mold, then terrible clone variant (though of course I want to see all the cards in each color before I decide what to run at the prerelease).

I'm SO SICK of the "too strong for Standard" argument. It's the new "Dies to removal". We can have a two mana 4/4 with a zillion abilities, but we can't just have Accumulated Knowledge. Makes sense.
Why'd you tell him that? Now we'll never get to see his reaction when he realizes it only affects his own creatures, although most of us probably wouldn't be able to see his reaction anyway.
...and the pile on.
Not that I didn't deserve it.

I don't see anything from the initial spoiling that differs from what I currently see.
I like the card either way, fun and unique.

Solidarity / Lands / Sneak and Show / Grixis Delver / Reanimator / Belcher / Storm / Dredge
If by ridiculously silly you mean obnoxiously amazing!
I can already see all of the fantastic objects and things I'm going to paint in that dingus's hands!
