Good find...I absolutely love the art on that 3rd booster...I don't know what to make of the 1st one, and I guess the Bant dude is riding some Naya beast...really hammers home how the Shards have morphed
The second one looks like a baby plowbeast. Maybe plowbeasts were smaller in the good old days, then when the shards split they got big like everything else, and now that Alara is reborn they are shrinking. That could mean that Leotau and Iguanars are growing.
First one definitely has a black aspect to it, it's a zombie enveloped by a snake. Probably at least BG. Maybe UBG.
Second one is interesting, though I can't quite tell what the beast is supposed to be. Probably something from Naya that was tamed by Bant. Maybe GW?
I'm holding out for the third one being a WWBR creature. It certainly looks the part.
The behemoth/knight duo looks like an awesome green-white creature. The serpentine figure and the angel suggest enemy colors. This is especially true for the angel, but in the case of the snake-man-thing, there's just something unnerving about him, something unnatural that makes me want to believe that it's not a representation of two allied colors.
We already know that allied colored pairs are in Alara Reborn, but what of enemy color pairs?

Does the OP have any info on if we will see 6 card ARB "Gravity Packs" ?
I wouldn't be surprised if ARB gravity packs come out the say day, or soon after, Zen (normal) boosters. (I post in depth on this in the "Has the gravity pack experiment failed?" thread.)

Um, we already have confirmation there will be gravity packs for ARB. It is the regular business model for sets now. (People are buying them, if people think they suck or not...they do what they were designed to do, impulse buys for people with money to burn)
We don't know what the art will be though.

a.) Some humanoid inside the snake. Well, at least in the cartoons(and other goofy media like Curse of the Monkey island etc.) they picture it so. It's strange to guess what does this mean in more or less serious art. The lighting is definitely GW - just look at many Shadowmoor GW hybrids or new Naya/Bant borderpost art. It would be strange to see that art on pure GW card. GWU, perhaps, seeing that snakes have some UG history...
b.) Bant knight on Jund beast. Grand theft lizard, I presume. A rare or mythic rare card, meaning it could be Knight of New Alara. Well, it matches the internationalistic spirit of card.
c.) Another strange card art. It's angel, which are usually white, but art is filled with shades of black and red and there's a black mana halo around her head and her eyes glow with the same colour so perhaps it's some BR card, depicting innocent angel falling prone to some BR mind-corrupting curse?
Second one is a bit of a lolcat. I mean those Bantians just get more and more ridiculous by the day.
Last one me thinks is WB considering ARB is full gold. Black being more likely than any other color atm, given the purple is usually a visual cue for black. Asha? I think not, but who knows. I' really looking forward to this. Maybe I'll run beside my Angel of Despair.
The first one, I am pretty sure of, is a green Naga, like a throw back to the Sakura Tribe of Kamigawa Block.
Is there a way for the snake-folk to find their way to Alara? Sounds far fetched, but that is definitely a Naga.
And because that's a large lizard under the armor, I am betting it is some Naya knight, maybe can get larger and gain haste? Or maybe a combonation of Naya theme (+5 power) with Bant theme (exalted).
The third booster pack art appears to be an angel... (what, you all already new that? lol...) - but my twist is that I am guessing a Grixis/Bant angel, being black & white.
1. Naya / Zombie love ?
2. Bant Dude riding a Lizard.
3. Hot Angel (Asha?)
We have seen only one of the three images yet to date . . . Enjoy !

I like the snake thing...whatever it is.

No idea really
Next Asha?

Yeah I'm really starting to think BW for the Angel. Which is nice. A few Enemy color cards are to be expected.
The snake zombie... possibly GUB?
As for the guy riding the Lizardsaurus i'm guessing WR or WG.
Love the art on all three.

Image 2: The beast does look sorta turtley specificaly a shovel nosed turtle
Image 3: I agree that this is most likely an angel, but the "wings" seem like they are placed a little high on her body.
All Multi-color my friend! Woot!
And if an Angel doesn't have at least ONE W in its mana cost... something is wrong... especially since it can't be something like mono black lol

Meeko will now refer to the time when MAGIC entered the "beginning of the end step".

Wait until you see the full art. Probably my favorite art in the game ever.

The snake's head goes behind the zombie's head and rests on the zombie's left shoulder.
The zombie is sitting cross-legged.
