I hope for O'Kagachi's sake these are fake. That's got to be the most poorly represented character on cardboard in quite some time. I'd expect it to be some kind of 20/20 indestructible for ten or so mana with some weird drawback (Destroy all creatures on the battlefield?). Not a 6/6...

But that's not O-Kagachi at full power, it's him right after That Which Was Taken was taken (heh).
Have we got a 3-color token since the new border was adopted?
Based on what I can remember and doing what is probably a poor Gatherer search the only 3+ color token generators I can find are Hazezon Tamar (which has no tokens) and Godsire, at least before these cat dragon tokens possibly come out.

One can always say it was his diminished version when he was forced to manifest in utsushiyo, just before he faced (and lost to) the Sisters of Flesh and Spirit.
But yeah, even THEN I would expect him to be at least Progenitus-level (the closest thing to him we have anyway).

I wonder what that half cut off land does. I hope it's a generic ETBT 5 color land, of course, being uncommon would point to there being a colorless deck since it wouldn't be in that.

It's either the Abzan tapland or Crucible you're talking about.
As for Kitty-Dragon, "Neko"ru seriously? The flavor text mentions Madara, so it isn't on Kamigawa (unless Bolas brought it from Kamigawa during Time Spiral, but then again I don't remember cats on Kamigawa).
Madara is actually a nation on Dominaria, previously ruled by Bolas. Probably yet another small hint of a return to Dominaria if these cards are indeed legit (which it looks like they are).

For anyone thinking O-Kagachi is a little underwhelming, keep in mind the game text can also act as a deterrent for an opponent attacking you. In much the same way that Edric, Spymaster of Trest can act as a "shield" encouraging people to attack other opponents, O-Kagachi can also be a shield for fear of reprisals.

That generally only works against opponents who don't know what they're doing....
If these are real, I'm really appreciating the lore in all of this.
It's kinda hard to explain why, but in some ways I really enjoy the supplemental products more than the Standard sets. From throwbacks to awesome reprints that you'd never get in a Standard set, there's a certain charm to what Wizards can print in these supplemental products that they can't in Standard sets.
While the Vorthos in me loves how flavorful O-Kagachi's card is, the Timmy in me is overwhelmingly disappointed in it. The Johnny in me isn't particularly happy about its lack of interaction with the Spirit tribe or spiritcraft mechanics on his native plane, either.
Aside from that, anyone else find it weird that we're getting reprints of the FRF dragons, instead of the current time(line) Dragonlords?
EDIT: Though I guess since Dragonlord Kolaghan's ability is useless in a singleton format, that makes sense.

Not really. The FRF dragons all have mechanics that work with other dragons, whereas the Dragonlords are standalone beatsticks mostly. Plus there's value to consider, they don't want to put too much in it out of fear of scalping. The FRF dragons probably work better both mechanically and financially.

FRF are the current timeline dragons, just 1300 years or so younger.

With or without dragons this guy is pretty good. Even if he can't attack he still protects your spells.
