a quote from my post on the other "Slave to Bolas" thread
Their is barely anything about this card that implys it is anything other than a creature...
Slave of Bolas, their seems to be focus on the word SLAVE as a Noun, not a Verb.
A more proper name for an enchantment would be, "Enslaved to Bolas" "Enslavement to Bolas" or "Nicol Bolas's Enslavement" not Slave of Bolas. Plus it is rare for an anything other than a creature/plainswalker to use a true name anyways. Wouldent "Slave of The Elder Dragon" or "The Elder Dragon's Enslavement" make more sence for a take control card?
For me she definatly rest on both her knees while turning the upper body more in our direction (If you look closely at her right leg, from our point of view, you can see her calf vanish under her body).It doesn´t look as if she would have been knocked in this postion. No, this dirty cute piece of artwork just have let herself fallen to the ground with spreaded legs. (If you let yourself really fall to your knees you will notice that its hard to fall onto them without spreaded legs). And I also can´t help but I have the feel she somehow has a tiny, itzy-bitzy, little smile around her lips.
to me, it looks like she is kneeling the same way a Knight would kneel before his king in subjugation to that king, just she hasn't lowered her upper body in subjugation. At least that is how I got it.
And what smile, she is clearly crying, so I can't imagine her having a smile...

Have we ever had a non-creature spell show up in a booster pack cover?
Come to think of it... no. Short of Bolas being a PW i don't think we've ever had a non-creature spell be a pack cover... I think hat's another shot at her being a creature.

I had a random stupid thought. Wouldn't this translate in some languages to "Slave of Balls"? Just to add fun sexual innuendo.

this hasn't actually been confirmed yet though... so um... it could still be wrong...

Man, okay I'm getting confused jumping between the two threads heh, thought my reply disappeared along with 4 pages >_<... yeah it was a mockup someone posted along with fantastic flavor text from Sir Bolas: "It's like...everywhere I go I see the same hoes." -Nicol
So nothing confirmed, just a guess at very best (although the mock-up does look nice).

actually I was right, the card as spoiled was fake, it was just deconfirmed thanks to the Orb of Insight. So it is entirely possible that it could still be a WUB card, or some other color combination. However my money is still on it being a creature.

Ironically, this is the only time I can recall where no one posted about how they assumed the card to be false.
I see this as being a W/B angel personally. White from Bant, black from Grixis. Bolas definitely has her under some kind of spell, so control magic is possible (and then I'd say it's U/R/B), but I think she's a critter. A Bant angel in the service of a dragon god? Interesting. Beautiful artwork though.

I edit my posts a lot after submitting them. Deal with it.
Might be Elspeth having ascended to the throne and became an angel? Either way, dark hair and so forth it could be her but probably a long shot.
doubtful.... I don't remember who the artist is, but if it were Elspeth, I would imagine they would have gotten the same artist to do both arts (planeswalker her, and this one)....

Decent art. With all the black and purple, she's got to be at least partially black. Hopefully black/white. I think angels that have no white at all should be incredibly rare. Being angelic really has to be white, in my world. It might make sense because she's a slave, and possibly mind-controlled. In that case, I'd like to see her with a typical angel cost, but black-ified.
Something like 3WB or so. 4/4, flying, and some kind of sweet Bolas-like special ability.

well, there is already a 3WBB that has been confirmed using the Orb of Insight... my money is on that being HER cost... but only time will tell.

No its not a long shot...its completely wrong.Elspeth is still wearing her armor that we've seen on her PW card.The sneak peek of ardent plea wizards gave us confirms it.
Let me sum up the last 10 pages for you.
Its a Battlegrace Angel being mentally dominated by Nicol Bolas.
After reading the other posts,i change my first guess of a control magic for 2UB to either 1UBR or 2UBR.I agree with who ever said UBR but thats just to easy to cast a control magic for,more so now than ever.A 4 or 5 CMC makes it less crazy than 3.
As we've seen in the past,the art work and the wording for the name of the card don't always perfectly match up.That guy sure don't look like hes being possessed.I sure don't see that sphinx summoning anything.
That's the art for the Textless Ponder. I didn't even know there was one until a few days ago.

Slave refers to people\beings. Slavery refers to the act\state of being.
Pretty sure this is going to be a corrupted battlegrace type thing.

Nicol Bolas himself, but I get what you're trying to say.
Come to think of it... no. Short of Bolas being a PW i don't think we've ever had a non-creature spell be a pack cover... I think hat's another shot at her being a creature.

I would really love to obtain what this poster is inquiring of as well. I think I am in love with this artwork.
