I have been anxiously waiting for this one and it looks like it may be on its way soon. And yes I understand this will probably be a VERY dichotomous (love it/hate it) set. The test card designs shown are SO cool. I am going to rope and wrangle all this product I can manage.
So I will pop open this can of beans and ask for thoughts. Likes and dislikes of what was shown on the above video. I'd like to keep it at discussion about the card design and hope it doesn't devolve into the merits of creating the set or not.
2 bits for your thoughts.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.
Margaret Thatcher: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Martin Luther King Jr.: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
I was kinda indifferent to most designs but LOVE the poker card design. And the thought of being able to build an entire real poker deck with Magic cards - awesome! Pimp my poker deck, gotta go full foil!
I assume these test designs would be showcase frames.
Yes up to 2 years. That is relatively soon by Magic standards. I would guess they would want Kamigawa and New Capenna to rotate out of Standard before they would introduce this set. But you never know.

Now this person has done art for WOTC before but it’s one of those findable arts online
Much obliged for posting those up.
I am into all three of the trial card artworks. Really hoping that all 3 make it into the set. The playing card version is my fav, the western comic book art my second and the "wanted" poster style my third. I would love to see Chandra did up like Sharon Stone in "The Quick and the Dead" as a gun/spell slinger as well.
This makes a lot of assumptions that this "leak" is true but regardless I hope they go this direction when this set invariably comes out.

any way if we get it along with muraganda this is gonna be a heck of a ride
theres no way it will be 2023 because all 4 standard sets there are clearly gonna be mutiverse phyrexian war 2 related
More than likely. I would think it would be the Jan, April or July release of 2024, if it indeed is a true rumor. That would put it in The Magic Historian's window of 1 1/2 to 2 years from now. Cowboys wrangling Dino's from Muraganda in Standard sounds pretty trippy.

Well, they're introducing guns back into mtg even after the fan's reaction to Portal 2. Was that even a thing?
Reminder new capenna was pretty close
I anticipate like New Capenna they will only be gun-like, with how messed up the US is, I doubt real-world representations of firearms is likely (I mean they didn't think fans would handle the word Corona on a card).
I strongly dislike these gimmicks in a Mtg set. I have no problem with the artwork being western themed, but I draw the line at cards that don’t look like Mtg cards. IMO, these wacky frames should be left to secret lairs.

I am curious. Has this leaked "rumor" been disproven yet as a fake? Usually by this time days after the "leak" it has been shown to be false, but I haven't seen anything yet.

I'm likely an outlier but I strongly prefer Magic to be swords and sorcery aka typical fantasy themed. Sets like Neon Kamigawa, New Capena, this Wild West one and so forth are sets I avoid, no matter how well they're designed or how much fun they are to draft it's not appealing to me in the slightest.

Usually leaks like this are disproved by the art being readily available online, which seems to be the case here.
Still, would not be surprised if Wild West Plane is in the near future - it's a common ask and Neon Dynasty and New Capenna have opened the door for explicitly post-medieval settings.

I am likely an outlier as well, but I actually prefer any fantasy world that leaves swords and sorcery medieval high fantasy behind. For me the genre is already way too focussed on either that or low fantasy urban settings. For a genre called "Fantasy" it seems so... creatively limited this way. And the huge pull of MtG for me is that it pushes these boundaries to a degree in a way not many other fantasy settings do. And it's fine to have some standard high fantasy from time to time (like Zendikar, Eldraine and Shandalar) but the most interesting worlds for me are the more out there settings (like Kaladesh, Ravnica, and especially Kamigawa now). And I am all for a Western set with strange, magic guns. If the artwork is not fake, then I quite like their design too.

Honestly, a year ago I would have been the one to turn my nose up at a Wild West set, because it just doesn't feel like Magic somehow. That being said, I felt the same way going into New Capenna, and that actually ended up being one of my favorite settings in years. So while I might harbor some doubts about Red Dead Magic Redemption, I'm a lot more willing to go into it with an open mind than I used to be.

Understood and that is your prerogative.
Its why I skip most of the Secret Lair stuff as it doesn't work for me. Now with the one and done sets you won't have to wait long until they are right back to a more fantasy themed setting. Realistically its a 3 month wait until another Standard set comes out.
I can't wait for my 3 month "day in the sun".

Normally I'd likely super complain about this, but considering I was proven wrong about new Kamigawa, and proven wrong in Capenna in that I thought it would be exciting but it ended up being boring, all I can do is wait and see how this looks. If they add a fantasy flourish to cowboys then it could work. Might be neat to see a cowboy riding a pegasus or other winged creature and be an archon.
One thing I don't want is Cowboy being a creature type. I don't know what they could be normally, rangers or warriors, iono, but I don't want cowboy. I'm sure it'll happen though. Please no dragons or angles, they're already shoehorned into certain planes that don't really need them.

I know the rumor was these photos were found in thr survey but there’s 2 fouls with it
1.
they just photoshopped this Chandra, Torch of defiance art onto thr playing card art
2.
you can find that picture right here

Yeah probably two years. The next release season is dedicated to Dominaria-themed sets so prolly not till 2024 the earliest.
That said, the test card #2 is giving me weird Indiana Jones or indigenous vibes. The lettering almost looks Arabic too.
I wonder how this will fit into the storyline. And whether it will be on its own plane or one we’ve briefly visited previously.

oh I should point this out
This Wild West plane I already can exspect the face walker could end up being Angrath
He’s a blacksmith on his homeplane and some towns in Wild West have those.

I heard wild Wild West wasn't a 5 star film and Depended on thr audience
but good idea with phyrexians playing the role as Aliens since they also did cowboys fighting alien films just like with the dinosaurs
(infact with dinosaurs muraganda could be in standard with cowboys so we reference that movie, oh muraganda visit is now possible because of this https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/671328273150672896/if-or-when-a-muraganda-set before you ask)
