Any speculation about what cards the new arts shown might be for? One shows a ton of angels...I can't really think of what that could be outside of Decree of Justice, which was just reprinted, Luminarch Ascension or Entreat the Angels (or that other angel-generating mythic who's name I can't remember). But they don't put mythics (aside from the face cards) in the DDs, right?
Now that I've gotten a better look at it, seems like it would be Angelic Blessing, since that is one of Elspeth, Knight-Errant's abilities.
Edit: Very interesting that the new artwork on Briber's Purse shows a dragon being bribed...foreshadowing, perhaps.

I have a feeling that angel art is like just the full art for a reprinted Empyrial Archangel.
But isn't that Elspeth leading the angel group? Sporting angel wings? That's why I thought it might be. Angelic Blessing would definitely be a boring reprint though and a very lame card to have new art wasted on, so I don't know.
What IS the deal with the 40 alt art cards anyway? Are they promos? Are they in the actual set?
So we get the enemy colored painlands and not the allied color ones? Well that's reverse of the norm, but I thought Wizards was planning to do full 10 land cycles from now on.
Enemy pains could indicate allied Fetches in the next set, to offset the colour imbalance. It would also make sense since it would allow Modern to have access to all 10 Fetches as opposed to only 5.
Or you could read the article, and now that's not true.
At the Fate Reforged prerelease you can get a special booster pack containing a few alternate-art cards from Khans that show how the world has changed in the new timeline. Mainly that there are dragons now.

Interesting, though I'm more concerned how the timeline for the multiverse has changed, especially if Bolas died.

A few of the new 40 alternate-art KTK cards are basically the same art with a dragon in it, I'd assume. Done on Smite the Monstrous too.
Pictures aren't loading for me for some reason, do they have the same set symbol? If not, I wonder if they will be reprinted in Dragons of Tarkir, which will probably be the post time travel timeline, that way they get to put some of the cards they want back into the limited environment.

Same Khans set symbol, and all the cards, even the commmons, have a "rare" holo foil stamp
Aaron announced they have found a way to do a colorless basic land, and that a colorless Commander deck will be possible.
Oh my! That will make all of the people happy who were worried about getting completely wrecked by Wave of Vitriol. Well this should be interesting to see.

The impression I got from the live-tweeting was that Sarkhan doesn't actually interfere with the Ugin/Bolas battle, but helps to revive Ugin in the aftermath before he dies completely.
Thanks for the links to the pictures, guys. Unsure whether I like Kiora's original art or this one, I'd need to get a closer look. I like this new version of Elspeth's art more though. The background in the original is nice, but the posture looks really awkward.
Colorless basic lands whaaaaaaaat???

Hmm doesn't look like her to me, but definitely Bant-style.

The DD alternate preview art seems to have vanished. Hmm...

"Ears." The word you're looking for is "ears."

ORLY NOW?! This I'd like to see.
It would be nice if they do not Nissa Worldwaker-ize her design down the road too. Coz that would be hella way fishy.

That art looks like Decree of Justice: bunch of Angels ready to fight.

Oh... Ok... Clearly.
Probably from the Clash Pack.

40 alt cards quite a high amount

My guess is they are from the Fate Reforged clash pack. They still have the KTK set symbol, so they are not from the Duel Deck.
edit: Took too long in the reply! Alternate art booster sounds cool.
