New PW art by Vincent Proce. Unfortunately this website felt it was more important we get 4 freaking pictures of box art over just one clear picture of card art, but hey, I'm just the messenger. Price tag this year is $180. Considering these were $99.99 last year, that mark-up is pretty damn obscene, have fun getting these on the secondary market.

I absolutely hate the fact that they can pull off selling us sets of six playing cards for $180. I find it to be neither a cool collector`s item, as it is designed to be just that, nor a good investment piece as demand for these cards aren`t likely to go up long term. That said, this looks like it might be the nicest looking one so far, as the blackout cards are just plain stupid and the zombie ones felt more like un-cards than super exclusive promos. Hard to see in these pics, but I like the colors.

Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.

You have no idea how happy I am seeing Magic cards that are NOT CG printing.
It's a sad thing when such a prolific artist falls victim to a swear filter, but Amano was my first thought when I saw the print too. It's very close to his style, and that's what I like about it.

Kind of weird that BOLAS would have to do the inscribing himself.
I really hope there's a print of all six card arts combined, since they all seem to make up one single image of Bolas inscribing the Gatewatch in stone. It's a really neat idea and it's executed very well.
The Chandra art is kind of hilarious, being that the card is Torch of Defiance, and she's basically telling Bolas to talk to the hand.

Added in the images. I really dislike the whole SDCC promo scheme..."Oh hey you're not going to SD Comiccon? GOOD LUCK GETTING THEM! But wait, in our everloving generosity we'll allow you to have a chance of buying them from our website...HAHA SYKE YOURE NOT IN THE USA!" Hate it.

Thank Serra I find these SDCC exclusives negligible, all the 3 years of them, something that I would not cry, mentally or IRL about...
Maybe if they're figures that are done better than what they did with FUNKO (like how Blizzard is doing with Overwatch lately).

Might be him showing their defeat by him to show off his power.

Does anyone else notice that Gideon is the only art that has a crack through the character on it? To me, this could represent the coming of his death by Bolas. Anyone else?

I did notice that, and i also think that there are hints in all the arts...
My guess:
Jace gets his mind wiped, and (as the Ixalan sheet betrays) cast away. There is a smaller version of him in an utterly dismayed pose in the background.
Liliana becomes Bolas's slave. Notice her head is crowned by Bolas horns
Nissa either dies, or loses her spark. There is sand leaking through her, which could symbolize either blood, her spark, or her magical powers
Chandra is the only one not facing Bolas. So i think she'll retreat and planeswalk away before the end is upon them
And Gideon has a crack through him, which i take to mean that Bolas will literally break him.
It could be just a coincidence, but i think they independently form a pattern. And it would be nice to have actual hints in the art, and not just random tidbits.
I'm sorry but could you please stop bragging about your promo on every single thread? Its not like you found a black lotus, or even an invocation or something; and you're not the only one to find a bolas. Bragging about it constantly seems petty and since its irrelevant, annoying to encounter everywhere!

Thanks for understanding

Besides that's the last one I'm doing. Plus I wasn't braggging I was saying is a rather have the regular art version.

I just want Jace regardless. Ugh, these are always so annoying to try and obtain. I hope the art is garbage.
EDIT: BTW are they supposed to be in hieroglyphic poses?

The nicol bolas one, from what I can tell, is actively etching each of the gatewatch members into stone.

You can get this from Hasbros website? Where? I missed the linky.
180 bucks for some childs first drawing-attempt ? xDDDD sure . . .
And I don't need bolas because I got him at pre-release and it's a promo version of him too so it's foil
Plus the art is better than this.
