On Friday we are going to be revealing an Exclusive Preview card from Alara Reborn, and to get the speculations rolling we are going to be providing a hint about the card each day leading up to the reveal, three hints in total.
Tuesday's hint is that it is a Jund card.
Wednesday's hint is that the card type line is: Creature - Cyclops Warrior
Look at me! I can bold words and use CAPSLOCK to emphasize my point! Hopefully I can trick people into ignoring that I completely have no evidence in my post to back up my claims if I make it look fancy enough.
Okay, I'll bite. A "Jund" card is almost certainly 3-color. The art shows a creature festooned with the bones of its victims, suggesting either devour or vampirism...obviously devour is more likely. The creature also looks quite hasty. I'm gonna go for a creature that gains haste if it devours at least one creature.
For some reason, I want to guess that it's the 1BRG creature that is rumored in the compiled orb of insight thread. My only reasoning being that they wouldn't have colored in the word Jund if it didn't possible match up the mana type exactly, with the J being 1,U being B, N being R, D being G.
It could also be a red herring seeing as cyclopses tend to be of fatter size and higher mana cost. Here's hopping for something totally awesome though.
I'm willing to bet this guy can hurl creatures. I'm hoping for BRG but I suppose 1BRG would be nice as well. Hmm... Running with what the poster above me said, if he has a similar P/T and cost to Lightning Angel, perhaps he has trample, haste, and... regeneration? I'm having trouble coming up with another decent black ability. Fear seems too strong here, and flying seems silly. Maybe he has unearth? *shrug*

Fear?? Wasn't there a hit for Fear in the orb? He certainly looks a bit intmidating.
Fear would be cool, however if it's Fear and Trample, then It's kind of redundant.
I double that they'll do a complete lightning angel mirror. They can copy haste obv. because it's red, blue's Flying can be easily replaced by trample because of green, but vigilance can't be easily substituted. The only other ability I could think of would be lifelink, with a stretched justification (Both black and green can gain life, so when together on creature cards they have access to lifelink). Devour however, would be kind of neat seeing as how it would provide some synergy with Trample, and would potentially avoid the Card Disadvantage issues because it attacks immediately.
Ideally I'd like it to have Haste, Flash(So I can devour my soon to be pathed creature), Devour 1(or more), and Trample. That would make for a totally sweet card.
It seems really unlikely that it'll have fling. Out of all the cyclopii (pl?) in Magic's history, only one has had a fling effect.
My guess is it's gonna be a 3/4 for 3 with an ability. Seems fair enough for a tri-colored 3/4. Reminds me of that Gruul centaur, except with added black mana which, hopefully, will make the cyclopse better.

That's supposed to be black but a different black than normal black text.
purple? it's red...which probably means that it's a red card...
I like Turtles
Phew. Thanks.
Hmm, on my screen its purple and the 'n' is red. But your right, it's probably a red card, it is Jund after all.
Make a card called Long For This World.
It could also be a red herring seeing as cyclopses tend to be of fatter size and higher mana cost. Here's hopping for something totally awesome though.
But that's because I'm biased and for some reason what the four drop Jund creature to be mind-blowingly bad-ass.
Side Note: Lightning Angel cost four and required three colors of mana. If this guy is rare and costs four mana may be it'll be of similar caliber?
Fear?? Wasn't there a hit for Fear in the orb? He certainly looks a bit intmidating.

Trample, haste, deathtouch/fear/regeneration
3/4
Lightning/Stoic Angel counterpart. I love it.
