Has anyone seen this yet? In any case, this looks new to me so I'm posting it.
Oh, and I got this from a source I trust (friend)...and I have two posts not just one ^_^.
But as far as I know, this is the first complete photo of a booster box so far.

Great find Orange, I'm sure we'll be able to get a hi-res pic of this soon, Looks like another good looking kami on the display too, perhaps *ahemspeculation* Terashi, the Sun Kami? we can only hope...
I'm quite certain it's booster box, anyway. The symbol on the left fits.

The Kami on the front of that box looks kind of like a good version the picture of that disturbing kami that they showed in Magic Arcana... Maybe a cycle?

Very Nice Orange. I'm glad we found it so soon. I have to agree with Hydrokinesis about Terashi, the Sun Kami. It sort of look like the cards with Terashi name on it. My guess:
Terashi, the Sun Kami 2WW
Legendary Creature- Spirit 2/2
3W: Remove target attacking creature from the game.

Anyone else notice that the color scheme is kind of...
...golden? Maybe some warmup in this set for Ravnica...

that's not what happened at all. kamahl stabbed phage, akroma, and some old lady and they became korona. then korona got stabbed by her "prophets" and kamahl got drunk with a mutant centaur
Didn't Wizards purposefully deny that Terashi would be made into a card, because he's just so powerful? So unless they did all that just so we wouldn't spend months coming up with concept cards potentially better than what they did...
It was O'kagachi that they stated wouldn't be made into a card, Terashi on the other hand, has been one of the legends they've teased us with over the past two sets... i can't wait for more Saviors info.
The colors have a real *sunset* theme to them, I'm guessing Saviors will be a triumphant finish to this enjoyable block, the third set always brings the goods... gogo Saviors
...the third set always brings the goods... gogo Saviors
Well, Fifth Dawn didn't exactly set the roof on fire. And I think they did deny both O-Kagachi and Terashi as cards, but I guess they could get away with making Terashi a WUBRG card despite all the Terashi cards being white...
Heck, maybe we'll get a 'major kami' in each color if they do a white Terashi. Lord knows they do like printing big splashy cycles in the 3rd set(beacons, decrees, etc.)

god what a hideous color scheme. there has to be a better color scheme they could've gotten for that.
Looks a helluva lot better than the last few sets we've had. The yellow/green/olive colours make it seem more tropical/jungle-ish than anything else. Reminds me of a mid-African savannah with the way its designed. I hope we get another jungle-esque setting again like Jamuraa. That **** was leet.

Huh? So much hate for Kami block, I think a lot of us would agree Fifth dawn and it's 3 or 5 chase cards has to go a long way to match some of the power we've seen thus far from Champions/Betrayers (Kokusho, Cranial ext, Shining/Sickening/blazing shaols, rend flesh, horbi's whisper, meloku etc)...
uhhh... Well, let's see here. We have [card]Crucible of Worlds...WTF are you smokin dood?
My apologies 'Buster, What I meant to say was People tend to overlook the great cards of Champions/Betrayers because of the strength's of Mirrodin block, I'm sure you and I can agree that the standard format is alot healthier now than what it was two month's ago, and it can only improve with Saviors, and each player's willingness to try what the completed Kami block has to offer.
I think Fifth Dawn was underpowered compared to Darksteel/Mirrodin, and somewhat lacking in key cards when you compare it to what Champions and Betrayers offer a budding new format, Saviors can only enhance the current standard environment, and my hopes are that it will lend some strength to some great experimental Kami block builds which will translate to type 2 decks come October...
Lets hope for a little more 'Jitte, and a little less Nourishing shoal... Choice!
I think Fifth Dawn had more of an impact on T1 than Darksteel has, but then again I'm sure you could say Echoing Truth, Æther Vial, Darksteel Colossus, Trinisphere, and some others would be added to that list of Darksteel's influence. Hmm. Maybe I'm tripping out.

I don't care much for box art. I want cards, darn it!
They will come soon enough.
As for the box, it is interesting... and I hope a speculation made true on Terashi's appearance in the set is true... and as posted earlier. 3W: Remove target attacking creature from the game.. would be an AWESOME ability on a white card. Go ahead... attack me with your colossus. :smile2:
In China and Japan the k'i-lin is a solitary animal. The male is called the k'i, while the female is the lin. It always reaches its destination and, unlike ourselves, never falls into a pit. Just as the dragon is the chief of all the creatures of the sea, and the phoenix rules the birds, so too is the k'i-lin the first, the most perfect, of all the 360 creatures of the land. Once it is tamed, no other animal will know terror.
In Japan the unicorn is not only the gentle k'i - lin, but also appears as the kirin or the sin - you. The kirin strongly resembles the k'i - lin, but the sin - you looks like a lion-thick-maned, tawny, and fierce-with a single horn. Although it too had other forms, like that of a deer or a goat, its eyes were always intent and threatening. It may well have been a creature to fear, for the kirin had the uncanny ability to detect right from wrong.
Maybe these unicorns will be the actual saviors of Kamigawa?

At least it looks better then the theme decks colour scheme. (Although, not by much)
Jesus, you people just ***** about everything possible, don't you?
Thanks for the info Can't really tell what the creature is on the box, personally.

Well, let's see here. We have Crucible of Worlds, Vedalken Shackles, Bringer of the Black Dawn, Rude Awakening, and Joiner Adept are some. Beacon of Destruction as well. Eternal Witness, Krark-Clan Ironworks, Magma Jet, Devour in Shadow for uncommons. Cranial Plating, Serum Visions, Condescend, and Wayfarer's Bauble all ring as being chase cards. WTF are you smokin dood?

It looks like a bloated horse with golden manes
(I hope that not all spirits in this set are this bloated, they look awfull)
Oh, and as far as third set in a block go, you can't do better than Apocalypse. Powerful, non-broken cards that are loads of fun to play too.
Some interesting points about Japanese unicorns:
