The only problem with voting art is that we already have 3 planeswalkers' art from zendikar and given that we can ask about loyalty, the card being revealed is assumedly a planeswalker.
We wouldn't get much out of having the new Chandra art posted on another website.

I'd guess they'll reveal one thing at a time, day by day over the course of next week, revealing in order of voting, so as long as we don't completely fail and get something like name, artist credit, rarity and collector's number and card back, it should work out just fine.
It's a PT or Loyalty vote. This means it could be a creature or a planeswalker and they have a lot of flexibility in choices. At least with this round.

This. They just mentioned Loyalty to keep it an option, it wasn't its own choice (P/T was built into it). This DOES mean it won't be an Enchantment, Instant or Sorcery.
Holy cow wait. What if it IS an enchantment? An Enchantment Creature? Maybe we should vote type line!
I'm leaning toward rarity - If it's a nice thing, I want easy access to it.
Of course art - The prettier the picture, the more I enjoy it in my deck.
As for power/toughness/loyalty - This is the very meat of a creature/'walker!
Cool, they are going to make us vote each week for a part of a card, and each week they will show the winner of the ballot, I think the lines are a good way to spend our votes, maybe next week for me, I just votes for mana cost (to see if the card is gold or hybrid).
Well, I think EVERYONE who visits the Rumor Mill should have voted for one of the lines of text or the art, simply for the sake of speculation. However, I could understand if some pretty hardcore Spikes voted mana cost. Anyway:
Line 1
Pros
-Enters the Battlefield...effects
-NEW keyword ability
-Most likely to be flavor text
-"When ~ is put into a graveyard, exile it", etc.
Art
Pros
-Would lead to most speculation
Cons
-Speculating from art is VERY subjective, might get us nowhere.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I voted for 2nd line because I couldn't think of any real cons.
The you decide thing, they will have it everyday at the end of every article each day spoiling the previous day's top vote getter un till the whole card is spoiled. That makes sense to me. I voted for the art.

The lead time on the website is too great to do this the way you described. I'm sticking with my bet that we'll see it piece (or two pieces at a time) by piece over the course of next week based on the results this week.
I voted art, cuz well, I like seeing the art of things, even if speculation-wise it gets us nowhere.
But I do like the idea of voting for the second line, cuz if its a creature, it will very likely give the creatures name also. If its a planeswalker, it might still give the name, but not as likely, but it would still be revealing a planeswalkers ability.

Well we've seen all three planeswalkers from Zen haven't we? so if we see the art, we automatically know which one it is. the line 1, 2, 3 thing does make it sound like a walker though.

We really don't know.... we think we have, but no guarantees.

Two purple mana. Always think outside the box...
In seriousness, we know Zendikar has 'weird mana'. Mana cost might actually give away more than you'd think (though I doubt a 6th colour).
there will not be a 6th colour in zendikar. though I am in favour of it, if they were going to do that, it would have been in TSP block (planar chaos or future sight. tarmogoyf should have been purple), SHM miniblock (weird colours, very purple style R/ hybrids) or even alara (vithian things, broken plane that had lost colours reforming after thousands of years), not zendikar.
You have to vote line 3 because a) it is a planeswalker ultimate ability b) we could have a card that does several things like Torchling c) it could be flavor text and we haven't got any of that yet and it could be just as useful for speculation as art AND it could be a planeswalker quote like so many cards have that lead to who is going to be in the set.
When i saw that, i so many times, and then "never gonna give you up" started playing in my head. Wtf? who voted for art... "give us something to speculate about wizards!!!" really...

There's a 2/2 creature with vigilance and haste what do you think its mana cost is good sirs?

Art wins.
