Left to right: Apocalypse Hydra, Banefire, Rupture Spire, Vectis Agents.
All four arts are kind of known. Apocalypse Hydra, Vectis Agents and Banefire were included in the "Guess the name" poster, and Rupture Spire at the playmats.
But it is nice to have them in higher resolution.
Banefire reminded me of Michael Bay's Megatron's "hand-cannon"
Sweet mother christmas. I knew the art for Vectis Agents was awesome, but this awesome? Angels of Bant, move over. There's a brand new group of sexy women, and they're all Esper!

According to the video from Worlds, where the correct answers to the poster images are revealed, yes - that should be Sarkhan Vol transforming his hands into fire-spitting dragon head(s).
Now if only zesty had some info on these cards...Vectis Agents would definitely deserve a good card, and Banefire should be, according to zesty himself, a powerhouse spell.

They're all pretty nice.
I'm with the people who say Vectis Agents is the best... I've always loved Epser anyway:rolleyes: so I'll like it even if the card sucks. Seems like Magic is getting back their visual appeal that lured me into the game in the first place.
Vectis Agents looks pretty much black or black/white, and hopefully will be awesome enough to match the art!
Wizards R&D are geeks, so expect Banefire's mechanics to have a nod towards the banefire of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series (although I expect erasing the burned creature's effects backwards in time would probably be pushing it for a MTG mechanic...).
Always my favorite part of rumor season when tutor starts getting high res pics. Then we can all ooooh and ahhhh over cards that we'll never actually end up playing in the end. At least we can admire art while we're blissfully ignorant for a while though!

zesty also said that Conflux was a super powerhouse, but that was kind of meh, so I'm hoping for something like a Demonfire/Mind Twist reprint like Invoke the Firemind. Maybe something like
Banefire :xmana::symr::symb::symb:
Sorcery
Banefire deals X damage to target player. Then that player discards X cards.
That would be awesome@!!!!

Thanks to spiderboy4 for the great avatar and sig from High Light Studios!
After I saw the Image of Banefire I was thinking what can´t Sarkhan make with Dragons or out Dragons I hope Banefire is pure Red so that I can Run it in my Burner deck. And another Beautifull Esper Chick that is hopfully as powerfull as the art is pretty ^^

QFT! The hydra and the vectis agents are beautiful!
Hopefully Vectis Agents is good enough to justify that awesome art.
I've been hoping ever since they showcased that promo picture where you were supposed to match the art to the name below that Agents would be good enough to use.
Something at least as useful as Steadfast Guard and I would find it a home in some casual deck.
