This is an exciting link to a site that links to a video. I'm happy that I can look at these blue letters here first.
There are Kraul on their and Fungus Zombies. I'm not certain I want anything else of the Golgari right now. Another new twist on a literal animated Compost Elemental would be nice, but I'm fine with them saving that for card art over the line-up.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.
[thread=239793][Game] Level Up - Creature[/thread]
I like the art and the art direction for the Golgari, but I really don't like Vraska just having a human face now. We need fewer human planeswalkers, not more.
I guess the art directors took notice when people started complaining about the Jace/Vraska ship because of Vraska's looks? Now they could be MTG's power couple.
I wonder if this means we are going to get Commands/Ascendancys.

This is nice, but this Vraska feels more conventionally attractive and is kind of boring for it. Which in this case mostly means that she has a more human face. I liked her when she looked less human because, let's be real here for a sec, fantasy stuff needs a lot more female humanoids (proportionally speaking -- it could probably stand a lot more female non-humanoids first) who don't look so conventionally attractive.
Why is no one talking about the fact Nissa is standing beside Vraska?
Because everything about Nissa is different other than both characters being white-ish elves. The markings are different, as are the clothes and the staff isn't even close.
Also, I love Magali's art in general but #LetVraskaBeGreen

So does Vraska have a nose or not? Maybe WotC's style guide should decide and stick with it.
Cool art (she looks a little bit Cate Blanchette no?) but confusing because she's a bit floral and it looks like it could be Selesnya elves with her. I'm still going to assume it is a Golgari Vraska though.
Consistent Art Style? Please they cannot even do it for humans only Jace looks consistent most of the time and that is probably because he has a hood shadowing half his face most of the time.
I know just about everyone's going "OMG Vraska and Golgari W00t"...
... but that Elf standing to the left of Vraska suuuuure looks like a Selesnya Guildmage or something...
What surprises me more is the fairy in the far left, which nobody seems to have noticed.
Going by the wings and the part of it's body you can make out in the art, this is probably a kraul insectoid rather than a fairy, though the face looks a lot more human than I would have expected in that case..
Let me be the voice of dissent. If this is Vraska, I preferred the previous incarnations. I'm never a fan of brown. (I also liked the sisters of stone death).
Golgari means first chunk is going to be enemy guilds? So Izzet, Simic, Boros, Orzhov and Golgari.
Maro posted an article today that I believe said a 4/3/3 split? The guild decks are available on TCGplayer for preorder to double check.
That was the original Ravnica, this time its 5/5/? with Guilds of Ravnica having Selesnya, Boros, Golgari, Izzet, and Dimir.

The art looks like it's Magali Villeneuve's work.

Finally a good white villain quote: "So, do I ever re-evaluate my life choices? Never, because I know what I'm doing is a righteous cause."

Nice fashion sense, though.
I didn't know for sure if it was her.

Still looks good Command or Ascendancy maybe?
