This man speaks the truth. The Norn art would look absolutely fantastic as a playmat. In fact the stupid horizontal sleeves made me think there was one and got me excited.

Playmat-wise, I'd rather see the art for Phyrexian Unlife in glorified-mousepad form.

What the... That chick is like a part of the phyrexian thing??

She's like the dodge ram bust on top of a pick up truck lol.

I love the deckbox and am neutral to the sleeves.

SHEOLDRED BINDER HECK YES.

No playmats? I'd have bought a Norn playmat for sure. Sad.

Seriously, anyone know why UltraPro has stopped making M:tG playmats? There were a bunch for M11, one for SoM, none for MBS, and now probably none for NPH.

I would like at least one

Ugh, I hate the side-loaders. A lot of them have great art, but they take up more space in the box I use to carry my decks around.

Also, the Karn art in a Top-loader would have been amazing, but I guess too spoilery.

I think they use art of Elesh Norn way too much.

I agree....=/ Urabrask needs more face time.:(
He just looks so epic...

Other than that, I do like the sleeves, just because of the contrast between the white "porcelain" and the bloody red flesh. And I am big fan of ultrapro too.

Every set has a few of its best pieces of art used for promotional material. Tezzeret's art was used a bunch for Mirrodin Besieged, for comparison. It's not uncreative to use one of the best pieces of art in the set in places where it looks good.

I'm not saying I don't like the art. I'm just saying that I think WoTC could have made a better choice for sleeves or deckbox. I just don't like every product of the same line to use the same art, even though the art is good.

Man i really really hope there's Karn sleeves somewhere along the way. Even card Binder. I would buy that ☺☺☺☺ in a heart-beat.

In fact, i would buy any and all forms of merchandise with that kick-ass art on it.

So far the art direction in this set is amazing! I was a big fan of the Puresteel Paladin art the moment it was spoiled, so I'll definitely be picking up that binder

This. Core Sets get favorable treatment on spreading varieties of playmats, sleeves, boxes, etc. For smaller sets they seem to pick a card and go with it.

I may also be biased in this case because the size of this chicks... head plate is simply ridiculous. How do you even sit down with that thing without it hitting the floor? Forget actually lying down to take a nap... maybe face down?

You don't "take a nap" when you're the Grand Cenobite, bro. There are only so many hours in the day and she's got a lot of flaying to do.

My guess is they wanted to keep him secret for as long as possible... releasing the art on promotional material like that would have surely given us clues like OMG PLANESWALKER!!!
