Since this is the critique forum, feel free to critique as well. For example, I know I could've done a much better border around the artwork part, but what the hey, I was lazy.
With the exception of the border, those are all extremely well done. The one real critique I do have is that the last two (green and black) seem a little too busy. I realize that it may just be the arts you're using and you don't have much choice, but with that many creatures smashed into that small a space it's rather hard to tell what I'm looking at and sort it all out. In the same vein, I think the first (white) one is absolutely amazing.
Also, I really like the effect of playing with the colors and throwing the text on the Shards of Alara logo. The one thing that I think looks a little silly is the yellowish lines/glow thing underneath the text you added.
Anyway, they look great. I suggest using them as a rotating set.
Do you plan to make more with each preview, so each banner will look more like the Naya one?
ALA. Right.
And I don't know, I might. I think pretty much everybody is direct-linking to my photobucket account, in which case all I have to do is change one file, and everybody's signature will change. We'll see what artwork wizards puts out, and whether I like it better. I'd like to have better art for Grixis and Jund, for example, but for the most part I'm pretty happy with what's there.
Mr. Stuff is apparently using more than his allotted bandwidth from photobucket. As a result, it displays the "You're over your bandwidth limit" message whenever you try to display any image hosted there.
@Stuff: For these banners in particular, you probably should have just attached them.
I was actually just waiting for the end of the month, since your bandwidth renews each month. Once we hit September, the banners should start working again.
But yeah, the same thing will happen again if'n they're not attached. Thanks, Pet Snake.

Oh- and they look cool. I wouldn't have thought anything of the border if you hadn't said something.

I don't care if I was framed for murder if I only got a warning I would let it go.
Those are cool! Thanks!
My wife tells me I'm UW, so I went with Esper. Though honestly, I'd rather live on Bant.

Normally I'd choose Naya, but I don't really like cats, so...
Jund it is!
A Zillion Thanks to Spiderboy4 from Highlight Studios for my awesome Morrissey Avatar and Signature.
//I suddenly am very interested in Photobucket bandwidth...
