Part of me thinks the earlier post about vindicate would be sweet as Sorin is black and white and that makes a lot of sense, but because Avacyn's card gets indestructible it may have to be something that exiles. Although, maybe I am reading too much into that haha.
I find it interesting that Sorin is looking away as he does this, perhaps either because he can't bare the sight of seeing it or he is disappointed at Avacyn, possibly both.
waaay too good for standard nowadays according to wotc, we all know that in reality. In other news, it's once again confirmed that, no matter how powerful a creature in magic is, a planeswalker can handle it without breaking a sweat. There's just no suspense in storytelling here, everyone is superman, overcoming any challenge thrown at them with ease. Poor avacyn, I hope there's still some hope left for the Angel of hope. Artwork is phenomenal imo, unreal even compared to the bfz trash.
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.

To be fair Sorin did make Avacyn, so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to figure he knows how to undo her, or knows of any weaknesses she may have.
Hmm so Tamiyo is alive and still in Innistrad. She's either not getting a card (since we know almost definitely that Jace will get a card) or she's not monoblue. Though, if she's in, it would almost make certain that Tibalt won't get a card.
I'm calling it right now- worst rare in the set. Even good limited players will find better bombs at common and uncommon no sweat. Worst. Episode. Ever.
I really do predict this to be our worst rare in set award winner. I'd be happier opening a jar of eyeballs, so I think anything worse is highly unlikely. This card wont just have zero constructed potential, but not be significantly better than a mass of ghouls in a draft.
Tamiyo is certainly a big surprise. I did not expect her to be personally present.
As much as I would believe that Sorin is purifying Avacyn, it really looks like she is dissolving into dust (the joints of her wings are already gone). Very much like Mortify from SvT DD.

You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.
Oh man, we just went full circle! Reddit says the source is 4chan, but it turns out I was the one who posted it on /tg/, and I got the picture from... MTGS!
Still don't know where void840 got the picture from, though.
Shadows Over Innistrad is looking more and more badass every time we get a new revel. After, what I felt was, the incredible disappointment with the Eldrazi story line, we're getting some classic horror. I'll admit that the whole "evil Avacyn" thing is neither shocking or original, but at least it's a step in the right direction. Now I just need more information on Nahiri...

Yeah, the story seems way better than the Zendikar one, and I wasn't even around for the original set.

I do hope that it is just a purification and not an Unmake myself. Avacyn is one of my favorite Angels from recent years. Killing her just 'cause they can is so... anti-climatic. I don't care if she and Sorin battled for a thousand days and nights before he brought her to heel, killing her just feels lazy and uninspired.
Seriously though, this partial storytelling nonsense is killing me. We need a few Uncharted Realms out stat. I'd love to see a new Tamiyo, so I'm glad to see her in this art. Hopefully she is a big enough part of the plot to warrant a card and a UR of her own.

Nice to see Tamiyo back. I have a feeling we're going to the Moon, chums.

Leaves you to wonder the extent of Sorin + Avacyn's relationship, and Jace+Tamiyo's for that matter =P
