So Voldemort angel is probably the captain of Flight Moonsilver and is probably WB aligned. I'd also venture to guess that she's got the art with the gold armor, freaky eyes and wicked-looking sword. I'd also be willing to bet she's got something to do with the overall plotline of the block.
Seeing how Bruna and Gisela don't have new arts being previewed, I'm guessing Sigarda's going to have a new card but Gisela and Bruna won't, or at least not in SOI.
That is obvious Gisela and the blue angel one is Bruna ...
Also the BW angel was killed 1000 years ago, i dont think shell be showing as a card, at least in SOI, maybe next set Liliana can do some shenanigans to revive her.
The story mentions that Gisela likes to wear the colors of her Flight, which are red and white. Additionally, Gisela's got bright red hair. I'm 98% certain that this art is not for Gisela but for a new angel, probably the unnamed sister and leader of Flight Moonsilver. Have you read the story?
What if she changed her clothes afetrwards?She could have changed after the reunion.
She has the same afce as Gisela and her hair is kinda in the shadows making it darker. Not 100% confirmed of course
Whats the point of awesome art and an awesome story if the cards are unplayable?
I would be hyped about this set if I didnt think most of these cards will end up being duds.
But based on what ive seen, I think this set is going to be another *huge* disappointment for me(I loved the last innistrad set with a passion)
I'd kill to have the people who did the 1st Innistrad do this one as well, they knew how to design some awesome/fun cards.

Sigarda is the one with the heron thing in her hand, still has the golden glow in her eye, the story shows how she is not behaving like Avacyn or her sisters. Where did you get that Sigarda is evil? If anything she looks like the only Angel that is not corrupted.

Huh, you seem to be in an ever-growing minority here. From what I can tell, most people here (who lezbi honest are pretty critical) are digging the set. I've heard stuff like, "best set since last innistrad" etc... What's interesting is that wizards isn't even officially in spoiler season yet, meaning more big guns are on the way. Hopefully you will get what you are looking for then.

I really hope so to.
I played a *ton* of Standard during Innistrad/Phrex and Innistrad/RtR(It was great), and these cards dont get *close* to reaching those levels(minus the new Zombie). I really like the new zombie XD. But it is early like you said, but after a few very disappointing sets, Ive been feeling Wizards has lost their creative talent(For fun cards).
If Wizards makes up for the last Bruna and makes a new Modern Playable one, we'll be more then good though, hahah(#Make W/U Midrange Playable Again 2016).

The article uses their old artworks likely because if we do get a new Blossom and Bubbles, their arts will be rather spoilery. Also, when the two confronted Sigarda, they weren't described as bloodstained or corrupted, just "off." The art for the new Powerpuffs is likely being saved for a later story when they're outed as crazy.
Also, it's entirely possible that the two pictures shown (lightning Angel and "stabby" Angel) are the new arts for the two, considering how similar they are to the originals.
And, as I said on Reddit, Sigarda has definitely seen better days. She looks pretty haggard, and is probably mentally and/or emotionally, if not physically exhausted at what has happened. That art definitely depicts her after the events of this story, most likely a short time after Avacyn and her sisters go full crazy and start attacking everyone. She has no idea who she can trust anymore.
I also would not be surprised in the least if she is the Angel who has been leaving Jace and/or Tamiyo clues about Avacyn's madness.
- I'm glad to see Sigarda still staying "sane" in her part of the woods... With the leaked Avacyn-Sorin-Jace-Tamiyo art I'm rooting for her to be the angel's leader post SOI-MOON
- Unless the Fourth Sister "BUNNY" gets revived by Avacyn, I'm maintaining that Avacyn is the leader of "Flight Moonsilver" (Moonsilver Spear, her weapon).

Yeah um, the general manager tried to trade away the pending unrestricted free agents Avacyn, Sigarda, Bruna, and Gisela for draft picks before the trade deadline due to a rebuild. He successfully traded away Avacyn, Bruna, and Gisela for some prospects, 2016 conditional 2nd rounder, and a 2018 first rounder. Sigarda has a no trade clause, and she wants to only play on certain teams, but those teams don't want her, and now the team is stuck with her.
Avacyn, Bruna, and Gisela are attacking humans because they aren't in team human anymore.
GM for team human is trying to build for the future.
Now what will happen to Sigarda. Will she sign a contract extension or test free agency in the off season?
Now what about the so called WB angel that seems to be killed, ahem, playing in some other league in some other country? Will she be revived, ahem, signed to a contract to play for team human, or any other team in team human's league to prove that she isn't as washed up as you think?
I am pretty sure the arts with the sword in your face is gislesa and the more cartoony art is Bruna.
I think it is unreasonable to expect them to be modern playable, the old cards weren't bad cards, they were splashy cards and they are all quite good in commander.
I wonder if they are also flip angels, other than Sigarda.

That seems unlikely. There's only 9 Mythic/Rare DFCs, and while two of them are White, it doesn't make sense to only have one of the two PPG be flip cards. It also doesn't make sense for them to lose a color (though it is possible). I think it's more likely that Bruna and Gisela will get new cards, and will likely keep their original RW and WU colorings, though they could shift to a new color.
They could always pull a Avacyn destroyed the WB Angel's host, but sealed her away in the Helvault. Since Avacyn took care of it by herself, Gisela, Sigarda, and Bruna just assumed Avacyn had killed their sister. Or with the Helvault Demons released, the demon the WB angel made an alliance with could have a way to bring her back, but since he was sealed for 1,000 years he couldn't do it until now. Those demon pacts are tricky business.
Either way, I'm really hoping for a redemption arc for Avacyn and the Angels. I think the story could take a really interesting turn to have angels feel remorse and it would make them more "human."

Yeah, being modern playable would be a stretch, but it'll take a lot of Wizards to make up for the Last Bruna to me XD. And trust me, White needs help in modern, heh.
Sigarda is actually modern playable, and Gisela isnt, but is a well designed and strong card non the less, for more casual brews. Bruna is toilet paper :*(. Ive always been a White Blue player, and Ive never gotten over the disappointment from Bruna, hahah.

The cartoony art definitely seems to be Bruna (looking at her first card).
Sword on face Angel seems to be way too far from original Gisela's design tho, if you are to base it with Avacyn's change.

"The Great Work" certainly sounds like Phyrexia, though there is no other evidence whatsoever (at least so far) that the corruption of Avacyn relates to the Phyrexians.
Sigarda is the only one of the four major angels who remains uncorrupted. We don't know much about the other angels. Presumably at least much of the flight of herons (Sigarda's flight) remains pure.
Also interesting to hear that there once was a (presumably) WB Powerpuff Angel. I wonder if we'll get more of her story (or perhaps she'll be restored in Eldritch Moon somehow).
If I remember correctly the majority of Sigarda and her group have always been the least dependent of Avacyn. Case and point is when Avacyn was sealed it was only her group that remained active while all the other groups just steyed in their hidouts.
They weren't the least dependent, per se, but they were the ones who (nearly) gave up on her. To quote the Planeswalker's Guide:
"Of all the flights, the Herons were the closest to giving up on Avacyn. They believed they would have to turn to forces in nature for new sources of power and security." - Planeswalker's Guide to Avacyn Restored Pt. 1
On that point, I wonder if Arlinn and Sigarda are gonna be buddies.

I bet the new Gisela and Bruna will lose there W part, as there artwork reveal, since they gone crazy, mono R Gisela and mono U Bruna.
I would love a mono-U Bruna even if she's mad <3
I don't understand how anyone thinks that is Gisela. Looks nothing like her (different armor. different weapon. generic face) . Save for a red tint in her hair.
So Voldemort angel is probably the captain of Flight Moonsilver and is probably WB aligned. I'd also venture to guess that she's got the art with the gold armor, freaky eyes and wicked-looking sword. I'd also be willing to bet she's got something to do with the overall plotline of the block.

Well if this BW Angel is similar to the pure B demons then there is a definite chance that she might share one of their key Innistrad traits which is to reform after a given time. Demons on Innistrad appear to be made of pure black mana so when they are killed that mana dissipates and eventually reforms else where to form a new version of that demon. It is sort of like being reincarnated to a degree, and was the reason that demons had to be sealed away.
Though I still feel like the culprit is the chainvail or rather the Onakke ogres. The "great work" would sound something like making a path for their return, wipe out the original inhabitants to make room for them.
