Happy to see this get started. Heh, it's kind of strange this time around, given that we know all the names.
Great job apportioning the colors, Hunter!

- Jon Finkel Facts: (follow the link at left to see more Facts, or add more Facts!)
- Chuck Norris counted to infinity twice—because he was trying to count how much damage Jon Finkel deals in an average game.
- Jon Finkel believes in maintaining a healthy, balanced diet. He gets all his fiber from eating Magic cards for breakfast, and all his protein from eating Magic players for lunch.
It might just be me here but shouldn't there be 6 lands and not 5? Seems a bit strange that there is only going to 4 Lands plus Exotic Orchard. It would make more sense if there were 5 Lands plus Exotic Orchard to make it a bit more even.
Zesty said that the only RARE land is Exotic Orchard.
Could be that these lands are just random ones,
I for one think that there will be a colourless basic land or something to add one into the domain.
I'm a little uncertain as to how many lands we're going to get this time, because of Exotic Orchard ending up as a rare utility land. Why? Corrupted Roots could just as easily be an enchantment to go on land (think along the lines of Pooling Venom). The same logic also applies with Unstable Frontier (could be an LD spell, too!).
That said, some thoughts (nitpicking?) on the list:
- Fleshformer sounds black, like a Zombie/Necromancer of some sort.
- Ignite Disorder seems red, mostly because red is the one that likes to throw things into the loony bin (cause riots etc.). Past card names are my basis on this one.
- Path to Exile may be white, based on the rumored "new StP" card.
- Voices from the Void feels black. Compare with names such as Contract from Below and the like. It makes me think "bargaining with the beyond". An alternative would be an insanity-inducer (think C'thulu mythos, or D&D's "Alienist" and the "Far Realm").
Quenchable Fire seems to be either a wrongly named Unquenchable Fire or an insanely powerful burn spell with built in counter. E.G, ~ deals 10 damage unless an opponent pays 3 or something.

Actually, I am pretty sure that the name is correct and an intentional pun. After all, it has been listed in the "guess the correct name for the card" poster. Your assesment of a spell with built-in counter is probably correct.
And it is not the only pun...Countersquall, Kaleidostone...

I think there's a chance "Rupture Spire" could be another land, using "Giltspire Avenger" as reference.
Linguistically, it could just as easily be describing a spire coming from a rupture in the earth (Land or Artifact), as it could a command to rupture target spire (Sorcery).
But "Giltspire Avenger", and the art for "Apocalypse Hydra", suggests that there very well could be a large rupture in Bant from which a large construct was built, perhaps home to less honorable Bant soldiers? (i.e. Murderous Avengers)
Also: Mirror-Sigil Sergeant is definitively a Rhox, so creature-type would be Rhino somethingorother.

I was thinking "Rupture Spire" could be a spire built/created/that emerged from a rupture between the shards, and could suitably be an artifact or land.
Taking Rupture as a verb, it could also be a land destruction card, I suppose...

If path to exile is the new swords to plowshares don't you think they would have it for another color instead although it certainly seems white not completely sure whether or not it would be colorshifted

"Yawgmoth," Freyalise whispered as she set the bomb, "now you will pay for your treachery."
This feels too much like "speculation" to me at this point. A fun exercise, but with ALA words like "valiant" could be green bant cards and so forth, there's just so much pure guesswork involved as to what is mono or multi-colored as to not be a very reliable resource for piecing the set together.
I expect Traumatic Visions to be blue, Controlled Instincts to be green, Frontline Sage to be white, Constricting Tendrils to be black, Quenchable Fire to be red. I also agree with the suggestions from the posts above mine.
You'd think with all the names, it would be a piece of cake, but there's still a lot of sorting and crunching to be done. Excellent work so far.
Font can mean "fountain" so Font of Mythos could be a land as could Rupture Spire.
Molten Frame might be a land. If you think of a building of girders being forged rather than raised or a building being destroyed. I don't think it is though.
I think we've got 5 Unc lands and one Rare land which would make sense.
Cylian Sunsinger is #80, that means that there are propably 19 cards for each monocolor. To accomplish this I moved some artifacts to the Esper colors.

on the other hand I was thinking Fountain of Youth
Anyway, I now think that Corrupted Roots isn't a land, so I don't think that there is a cycle of lands
