Oh crap, Nexus of Fate is the buy-a-box only promo. Definitely looks a lot stronger than Firesong and Sunspeaker. It has taking turns potential as a 7cc Beacon of Tomorrows. At the very least, it can let you Kanye somebody in EDH. "Imma let you take your turn, but..."
- Vivien (Reid) quote on Gigantosaurus and Bogstomper. Bristling Boar also says that Bolas destroyed Vivian's world (Skalla)
- Bolas seems to be rebuilding Amonkhet? Or is it just an alegory?
- at least Sarkhan, Tezz, Ajani and Liliana seem to be included in the set. Plus Bolas, obviously. If Sarkhan is R and Vivien is in the set...then we have all 5 colors covered.
EDIT:
Well....I think this answers the question:
There booster characters are apparently all walkers.

question. so, the cards guttersnipe, murder, etc. are they in the actual set, or can you only get those cards as promos? I can see on the nexus card it says buy-a-box but the others say differently. I would be saddened if these cards cannot be obtained through regular boosters...lol

Look at the set number in the bottom left-hand corner. You'll note that Murder has a set number of 110/280, which puts it in booster packs. The article linked explicitly states that everything with a collector number of 284 and higher can not be found in packs, so everything lower will.
I just noticed that nexus is 306/280. What a terrible numbering convention.

this exists... why? Was modern in some dire straits or is this aimed more at the soon-to-rotate vehicles or something. You can't even use it to kill a walking ballista for value.

I must have missed this one.
Also so glad they are using treefolk again even if it is just an uncommon.

Considering we have confirmation of alot of bolas history happening in the upcoming stories I'd assume Patient Rebuilding is actually just Bolas building his Amonkhet right after his corruption of the gods post damnation.

Where was this card spoiled?
The only infernal card I see is:
I searched Google for it, and it's apparently posted on reddit/r/spikes.

Weird card. I wonder if we will see more colorless creatures or vehicles in the first two Ravnica sets. If we have to wait until the third set, it might have been better to hold off and release this in M20.
The very existance of this card basically kills any big colorless creature for a year. This totally feels like it is being aimed at Modern or Legacy more than Standard.
Always great when Reliquary Tower is reprinted. I put one in every Commander deck and I'm running low on them. Demon of Catastrophes looks to be pretty playable. Desecrated Tomb couldn't have said "any graveyard"? With it being "one or more" it's not like it's incredibly abuseable.

My question is how could that be used in Standard? Had this been printed years ago with Oath of the Gatewatch this would have been nice, but now it seems unnecessary.
Pictures of the promos below - the article also has all of the cards in the welcome decks from M19 and a few others that aren't in Welcome decks.
Draft my cube! (630 cards)

OMG!!!
2. These are awesome cards and all of them feel playable. Faith in playtesting restored.
It will never go away....
The tomb might find a place as a combo enabler somewhere.
The Serra's realm'esque art on the Reliquery Tower is beautifull. Good job mr.Poole!

Not much. But a stompy deck might rise with llanowar elves, steelleafs and a ghalta, gigantasaur or two.

Depends on the format. In Commander Desecrated Tomb + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Damnation with a full board gets hilarious.
