1. The black creature is looking more and more female the more I look at the art. The head veil, thin gold crown over the forehead (masculine crowns tend to rest on top of the head), and the armor piece just above the right hand seems to be curved outward and mirrored on the right side of the body.
2. The big wave in the background of the merfolk piece has me thinking Islandwalk granting or other such ability.

There's no proof she's being chased
by ninja squirrels either. - Dr. Wilson
That skeleton character just rings Liliana Vess to me for some reason. Could be... in the webcomics it looks like she started losing her youth and beauty (blood seeping through tattoos) after killing Kothophed. I'm not sure where the novels go with this.
Asking out a girl is like trying to cast a first turn Necropotence. Sometimes the other player will have the Force of Will to say no. You shouldn't let that stop you from trying it.
Definetely getting the skeleton card sleeves. New vampires, cool card box and sleeve designs, we're barely on the tip of the iceberg and I'm already hyped for M11!
I wish my 4/4s with haste and first strike that acted as Goblin Warchiefs were better and didn't die to instants and overshadowed all other 4 drops in the format. And that they had evasion too, and some way to dodge wrath effects.
Okay. So I did mention in another post in a different thread how I thought the art on that knight dude from the binder looked cartoonish, but... me thinks I will be purchasing that binder. It's way too sick not to have! And I totally agree with those who think that skeleton is one step away from rocking out.
This. Art. Is. Fantastic!

I don't think so.
1. None of what this new person is wearing looks anything like what we have seen Liliana in.
2. The new artwork isn't wearing the Veil which would be really important to a new Liliana.
3. Loosing youth does not equal being Undead.
4. It would mean seeing new versions of planeswalkers in the Core Sets which I just don't see happening just yet, maybe for M15

Of course its too soon! He wouldnt be that decomposed yet!
But really, that skeleton art is sick. I hope the card itself isnt a disappointment. Even something like diabolic tutor would be alright. I just know that the necromancer art from M10 just ended up being a 2/2 with "fear" and I was fairly disappointed.

I'm probably the only one who really cares about that merfolk and hoping its something good. I just top 8ed with my merfolk deck on game day. I'd really love something to give them a boost, and it really needs to be good for me to accept it removing the lord spot. I'm still wishing its lord of atlantis but thats not going to happen.
My friend made a interesting observation. Basically she said "What if they were planes walkers. Which I geeked about since it would be cool to finally get a merfolk planeswalker. But then the idea seemed more real. It could be. The only thing that makes me say it cant be is the fact that I doubt they would do 2 dragons as planeswalkers (3 if you count ugin) and a beast one. But then again, who knows. Magics thrown me weirder stuff.
And that is my first post, inspired to put something to the awesome art shown. so hey guys.
I got an email advertisement from mtgmintcard.com advertising these deck boxes/sleeves. They titled the skeleton "Phylactery" and the merfolk "Maritimei". The binder they titled "Hell"
I have no idea if these are the actual card names. Phylactery is what houses a Lich's undead essence and is an established fantasy item. However I've never heard of a "Maritimei" so I doubt that they just made up the term. However it seems odd that they would name the binder "Hell" and not "Card A/Card B Binder" and neither really looks like "Hell" (one is an angel one is a dragon). Here are some links to the products at their pages, if it helps:
Alright, bit of a silly idea, buuuuut, what if it's a new art for Lich's Mirror, and they just cut out part of it for the sleeve. Then again, it probably wouldnt leave much room for more in the art. I dont particularly think it is, just an idea.

5 completely new planeswalkers would be awesome. But the more I think about if each of them turning out to be a a specific tribal PW, the less I'm sure how I'd feel about them.
Phylactery? Hmmm... I'd say that it is some highly conditional enchantment that makes the player unkillable.

Phylactery makes sense, but Maritimei is weird. Is that an actual word?
Maritime is. It's basically a word to describe anything relating to the sea. So assuming it's not supposed to be Maritime and was misprinted, it's likely her name. New Merfolk Lord?

I would have like other art for the deckboxes though.
This. Art. Is. Fantastic!
Those fingers fit your definition of "normal?"
*shudder*
This art is beautiful. I hate that I'm going to be bored by it a few weeks after release.
I play neat decks but not very well.
oh god please no
Also, it doesn't fit the whole full body art they've been doing with planeswalkers.

they could've easily cropped out a part of the image to fit onto a sleeve like they've done with a lot of sleeves depicting a planeswalker

I am petitioning to get players to stop complaining about mythic rarity. Sig this to join the cause.
I don't think so.
