Alright, the minisite is up containing scans for some of the cards we have spoiled. Scans merged and attached
EDIT: Last four (more boring) cards attached too.
I just went and saw these. This art is sweet. I particularly like Martial Coup and Hellkite Hatchling (ain't it cute, awwww). Also, note the flavor text of Conflux "After years of world-bending machinations, Bolas's triumph is at hand." Very cool. Amusing how a "hand" features so prominantly in the art.

You should not leech Wizard's bandwidth; rather, upload the pics to the forums as attachment.
About these scans, the artwork is nice, but I can't help but noticing how monochrome some of the art is. Giltspire Avenger is just different shades of gold with a dab of blood.
WOW! the art on those is fantastic!:o
Countersquall looks particularly stunning! I am glad that esperzoa and Nyxathid have art on par with thier power level. Also I thought that Hellkite hatchling was supposed to be and :symr:, also that has to be cutest looking dragon ever printed on a magic card.

a small sentence for you to read while you ignore my post.
Hellkite Hatchling and Esperzoa are excellent. Extractor Demon's perspective makes in hard to tell if you're looking up or down at it, but that Hatchling is a cutie. Up there with Wee Dragonauts and Gilder Bairn.
The wording we have for Martial Coup is incorrect. This version has "5 or more" as opposed to "5 or greater". The word "more" has 3 hits in the orb, which means there is a potential third card in the cycle of this and Banefire (but not necessarily).
Second, Extractor Demon's ability triggers on leaving play, as opposed to going to the graveyard, so it works better with unearth.
I absultely love the art for Dragonsoul Knight. Sigil of the Empty Throne is another beautiful work. As for the HAtchling, he's adorabnle, glad he'll be in my Devour deck.
The flavortext for Goblin Razerunners made me laugh.
One thing I was wondering about was the flavor text on Sigil of the Empty Throne:
When did Asha* leave Bant, and where did she go?
For those who don't know, Asha is basically the leader of the angels on Bant; she is an Archangel. The Planeswalker's Guide to Alara implies (or flat out says; don't have it in front of me) that she fought Malfegor in the past, which would make both of them quite old, and before the world fractured into the shards.
Secondly: I'm guessing the puzzle artwork is Mana Cylix?

But control never dies; it simply adapts and becomes a different machine. The icy grip will never let go.

considering that his necklace is hanging down, i'd say we're looking up at it. plus, he flies

haha yeah, but i thought the viashino ate the humans like NOMNOMNOM*
*NOMNOMNOM- slang for very quickly
maybe the Dragonsoul knight had his domain ability activated while he was taming the Viashino... and thus put the fear of God into the Viashino... in anycase I am of the opinion that it is some kind of non-sentient Lizard, and Viashino are definitely sentient.

Can anyone explain to me why Sunsinger is rare? It's completely lost to me as to why she's not uncommon.
This kind of came up in the other thread, but here's the thing:
Only one activation makes every copy of her bigger. Assuming you have the only ones, and multiples on the table, this is obviously an insanely good thing. +3/+3 to 1-4 creatures for the same cost? She'd be ridiculous in Limited at uncommon, because anyone with multiples of her were going to be getting some huge fatties late game. Having even two 11/11's coming for your face as early as turn 5/6 is extremely frightening in Limited, where granting them trample (Mosstodon) would not be unheard of.
Additionally, suppose you have a Skill Borrower (or two, or three, or four) in play and this is the top card of your library. Your Skill Borrowers are gonna be coming in for some pain for the low rate of RGW. (Rules fun: the text "Cylian Sunsinger and..." is replaced by "Skill Borrower and..." in this case, remember.)
Like who is that guy, moses? And where's the white in that picture? And even so, everything being waves of what appears to be water is pretty lame. I love the other pictures on that thing, but really, what is with that first one?

The sigil, coup, dragonsoul night, avenger, and hatchling are all great. The rest are pretty bland in my opinion.
I'm pretty impressed with the arts, already we alrdy knew some of them. Here's a few more: (EDIT: Puzzle pic added)

First thought. He domesticated a Thunder-Thrash Elder
I'm going to guess another breed of iguanar.
