The spit on the dilophosaurus looks like it was added after the work was otherwise completed. I'm guessing Wizards asked for it to be added to appease the expectations of people who only know it from Jurassic Park. I'm not suggesting that adding the spit is right or wrong, just making an observation that I thought was interesting
Yes it was shown during announcement day when the set was announced. I think it with the gold background is beautiful, wanna get a bundle for the art on the box.

Dilophosaurus has me feeling some sort of way. They have some JP fans making these art calls and card designs for sure. Definitely my favorite block even just with Ixilan.
My biggest take from this is that Ajani is not on the packaging like he was on those tests awhile back
And? They also didn't use Huatli like the leaked images and the Ixalana boosters don't use the art of Tishana and a different Vraska art.

Guesses as to what the city's blessing will do? Some kind of monarch-esque effect, maybe? It would be on-flavour for the Immortal Sun.
Since it only has flavor text, it doesn´t do anything by itself, which means that what it does and how you get it is solely dictated by cards that refer to it.
I expect a variety of cards that do normal things, and in addition to that have lines like:
"You get the City's Blessing"
"If you have the City's Blessing, draw a card"
"If you have the City's Blessing, this creature gets +1/+1"
"This creature can't attack unless you have the City's Blessing"
"If your opponent has the City's Blessing, you lose two life"
"If your opponent has the City's Blessing, he or she discards a card"
"If you have the City's Blessing, you lose it"
For flavour reasons I expect that you won´t be able to have more than one, so effects don´t stack. I can also see that some tribes/factions/colors are pro-Blessing and some are anti-Blessing, such as maybe white creatures give you the blessing and grant you bonuses for having it, while black reward you to not have it and possibly punishes your opponent for having it.
Edit: No spoilers until January 1? I think it´s disappointing that they´re not going to do spoilers over the holiday. I always love it when they do that.
They did. There is no reason to expect anything other than tokens for promos. They don't listen to feedback. It sucks, but I wish people would just let it go and get over it.
I am stoked for the phoenix, i hope its playable or breakable, or a second vengevine creature
There is actually not much we don't know about the phoenix. We know that it's red and has flying, since all phoenixes do. We know that when it dies, it leaves this token behind. And we know that it doesn't have haste, since the token grants it haste. All that is left is CMC, power and toughness plus any additional abilities. Not that those things don't make or break the card, of course.

Just saying. A lot of people are still hooked on that Ajani will be in rivals because of those packs. Now that they've shown the real packaging and he's not there, chances are that he's not in the set

Chances are he'll be in Dominaria, since that's where he went to gather allies against Bolas IIRC.

Looks like we'll be seeing a Jurassic Park-style Dilophosaurus with pop-up frill and poop-spitting action.
Also, the FNM promo tokens are here, with the notable inclusion of a Saproling!! (See below post)

Very much looks that way!
Standard - Some kind of control
Modern - UB Mill (casual)
EDH - Meren's Grave Shenanigans
Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest WUR Voltron Control
Temmet, Vizier of Naktamun WU Unblockable Mirror Trickery

I hope so, about as much as I hope that Angrath is a good card.
But then again deathmist raptor is mono green and does something like the diloposaurus.

Feel free to tell me yours!

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

Didn't they say it's the new regular prize?

If they at least were alternate arts like the cards were, it wouldn't be so bad
Chances are he'll be in Dominaria, since that's where he went to gather allies against Bolas IIRC.
