SoK: That's one strange Savior! Are those pieces of meat falling from his weapon? Also notice there will be another creature holding a whip on the left side.
9th: Jade Statue sounds good to me
Ravnica: I agree this seems to be a white card: down below you see an army. Between the soldiers some hulking forms. Looks interesting. Will white be the bad guys?
That picture from Ravinca seems to have an uncanny resemblence to LOTR. You have a flying dragon with a swordsmen on it, a army formed in rows with giant hulking beasts in the middle (Cave Trolls), and a large medivel city. I love the art for the jade statue.
hmm all i can say on the survivors one is, this should be an intesting, and good card, they try to put good cards on deck boxes, and its gotta be interesting if mark rosewater is going to write the preveiw article, go johny!
the first one sorta makes you go "gurgle" but the second and third are nizice. Even though that SoK one is "squidgy" id say its a pretty good spirit art or maybe a deamon that is playable I think they all look very nice and have high hopes for the upcomeing sets.

"Why do I fight?... I keep on fighting to find that answer."
Also notice there will be another creature holding a whip on the left side.
No, that's in the other arm. Look closely. And, it's not meat, it's the flying orbs all spirits have. If you look to the far left, you can just barely see the edge of another one.
I say for absolutely no reason and with no backing that this is Konda. :tongue2:
SoK: ugly mo-fo isn't it, i'd say black due to the pic, rare due to the fact that its on a box and spirit due to the fact that it sure isn't a normal creature.
9th: yes definitely jade idol, old favorite, cool new art.
Rav: incredible art, looks a bit like the pterons from mirrodin(the ones the skyhunters fly) but other than that i've no idea and can't wait to find out.

SOK: Yeah, gross. It might have something to do with Equipment, since it's carrying, what...3 swords, a whip, and a garrote (little tiny hands in the front).
9th: Jade Statue...it's a statue, it's jade-colored...jade statue.
Rav: Would they reprint Skyhunter Skirmisher this soon? Probably just a new 1/1 white flier with whatever the set mechanic is. They'd want to show that off with a teaser.
The SOK pic's head makes me think of Donnie Darko for some reason.....lol.
The 9th pick looks indeed like a possiblity for Jade Statue.
The Ravnica one looks very cool. I think it's awesome that you can see the people on the 'streets' as they appear to be, in some formation with what looks like tanks of some sort, i dunno.
They all look sweet, except for the first one--gross.

Waiting patiently for MTGO Leagues to become a priority again. It's been 4 years :sick:.
Drop by my Helpdesk if you have any questions/concerns on the Limited forum.
Excited for M13 Limited? What do you think the format will look like? Head over to the limited forum and let us know what you think.
Guess I'm the only one who loves the Saviors pic... This is Adam Rex art, right?
The 'Jade Statue' thing looks really nice - but why a scythe, of all things?
I doubt the third art is Skyhunter Skirmisher - that'd have to be a Cat IIRC, and that rider doesn't look too feline. Reminds me of the Witch King and his Fell Beast from ROTK after an encounter with a bottle of bleach.

The first is apparently an oni for me...the horns, the three eyes, the disgusting appearance, the chunks-of-meat-ish energy objects...hello, black guy...
The second...quite frankly, I have no idea what it could be else than Jade Statue.
And the third... apparently white flyer, yes. The armored figure is really not very feline, and the comment about the Witch King and his fell beast after meeting a truckload of bleach is more than fitting... it would be nice, on the other hand, to have skyhunters (or something like them) back...
Well, there were no angels in Kamigawa... do you think there would be some in Ravnica, or the white flyer position will be usurped by these guys?

SOK - Probably another legendary demon spirit. Really bored of this block (I have been since Champions was announced.) I don't like the art... yuck.
9th - Jade Statue was an uncommon in Alpha, Beta, and Unlimited (the 3 sets is was printed in). It wasn't ever on the reserved list, so is therefore reprintable. I think this artwork looks like it could be a jade statue, so that's a reasonable guess. The weapon, armour, and the creature itself make me think of a black creature, though. Serpent Warrior type thing. If it IS Jade Statue, it will be reprinted as a rare, just like Clone, Ernham, Ruhk Egg, and all the other reprints which didn't see play in a single deck, ever.
RAV - Please oh please let Magic be good again, when Ravnica comes out!?! Please let them put at least 30 playable cards in the set, and please let's never speak of soulshift or arcane as long as we live. This artwork looks good, fairly fantasy-like, and also a bit political... as the whole "city-guild" thing seems to be pointing us. I hope it's interesting, with a strong set of cards to build decks from.
As for white "being the bad colour", no. If white was evil, it would be black. What makes a creature white? The colour of its armour? The fact that it's currently standing on a plains? No, by its intentions, desires, and actions. If a creature is evil, malicious, hateful, and spiteful, it's black. Even if it has a blue sheild or red boots. The suggestion that white could be the evil colour is as silly as saying that maybe blue will be the random, hasty, unpredictable colour. No.
Well, the white element of the storyline could be the antagonist, and it wouldn't be the first time. In Kamigawa, the white humans (Konda's folk) are responsible for the spirit war. In the Ice Age block books (which apparently includes elements from The Dark), the white enitities persecute anyone who uses magic. Radiant wouldn't let Urza close the plane even though it was doomed because it was against her orders from Serra (the flavor text from that set indicates that she challenged Serra because Serra was violating the orders she had given Radiant).
So anyways, white can never be evil, because like rancored_elf said, if they were evil then they would be black. They can, however, be the entity that causes the problems in the storyline, such as having cruel justice, unfair laws, religious persecution etc.
Edit: And by the way, I don't know when you came back to the forum, but welcome back from me to you anyways.
Edit #2: Boy do I feel dumb. Good thing no one reads page 2 of a 5 page post.
I think the third one looks like some sort of Crusade. I know thats not being reprinted, but I mean to say is I don't think it's a single creature card. It looks more like an enchantment to me...
Saviors :3 words: What the F***??
9th Edition: No idea....
Ravica: White Flyers w00t!!!
The last one could be Skyhunter Skirmisher (a card that's been heavily speculated on).
Overall, very pretty (except the first one).

That. would. rock.
No but seriously how cool would that be? has it happened in magic before? it hasn't to my knowledge (albeit a very limited one...)

9th: Same as many others, my first thought was it was a nice, updated look for Jade Statue.
No, that's in the other arm. Look closely. And, it's not meat, it's the flying orbs all spirits have. If you look to the far left, you can just barely see the edge of another one.
