We all know Birds is gonna be reprinted in this set... But do we have any art or any information when we'll know what our new black bordered bird will look like?
They should of had every artist in magic draw a sketch and we vote....
I dont remember when, but they did show the new version of the card on MTG.com a few weeks ago. I'm sure you can find it there. It was most likely one of Rosewater's articles, or one of the weekly articles.

Birds will always be valuable, as long as they remain Extended/Type 2 legal. So don't worry, pick up your new black bordered birds without fear, they will have value. On another note, I'm still partial to the original art, nothing against Edward Beard, just the classic birds art is a connection to Magic's roots, being the rejected art for Volcanic Island. This would be a great connection to make, connecting the original dual's to the new one's through Birds of Paradise.
The birds in this set will be more valuable than the ones in the base sets just by being blackbordered(they won't matchup in price with blackbordered birds without the set symbols though(alpha/beta and foreign language blackbordered editions))., the foil birds will as usual be incredibly valuable.
I was actually giving this some thought the other day..
It would not surprise me at all if they _really_ give BoP a total image makeover. I'm thinking long, flowing, feathers, trailing behind it in flight, like a peacock...BRILLIANTLY colored. More tropical looking...
(Especially considering their somewhat 'meh' reception of Ed Beard's most recent stab it the subject)
I'd love to see a totally new design for BOP, i'm thinking though that in a cityscape like ravnica its probably going to center around some sort of garden setting.(maybe rooftop garden or hanging gardens).
i was starting to think : Why did Wizards really reprint birds? Why not just make a functional reprint?
I mean there is no paradise on Ravnica.....(unless i missed something i thought it was like a world completly composed of cities)

RnD during Time Spiral:
Rosewater: "Color Pie, WTF is that, If I want Black to be able to wrath, counter and have green creatures then I will damnit!"
Random RnD guy: "RED AKORMA! FTW!"
Gleemax: "Rosewater has broken out of my mind control!"
RnD after 2008:
MaRo: Hmm how do we fix the problems of pricing with cards like Tarmogoyf and Thoughtsieze
Random RnD Guy: OO lets make a new RED RARITY SYMBOL!
MARO: OMGWTFBBQ! Thats a great idea, we'll call it Mythic Rarity!
Gleemax: NOT AGAIN! CELEB
A functional reprint would mean eight Birds in every multi-color deck in Extended. Wizards doesn't like having identical versions of powerful cards running around any formats, Extended and Standard especially.
Plus, it would annoy the hell out of Standard players who have spent the money to acquire a playset of Birds.

That was an Ask Wizards about a pic for Rainbow Crow that some kid thought was BoP

Yes, there were NO birds at WotC. The only pic known was Mindslicer's hoax.
Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)

But someone posted a pic of BoP that was obviously faked as the card looked bad and the flavor text made no sense.
