Emmara is like the worst parts of Legends and Homelands got pregnant, aborted the fetus, tossed it in the trashcan, set it on fire and wrapped the corpse in a Dragon's Maze pack wrapper.
If they were smarter, they would have waited to give us any more info on these until well after Knights vs. Dragons launches. Having seen these, there is now no chance of me picking up KvD at any point, as every Magic-related cent is going towards these and New Phyrexia. Wow.
Seriously, I wouldn't mind at all if we were to forfeit New Phyrexia previews for more Commander ones. Wow.
+1 for that bro. These arts kick ass, seriously I wouldn't mid if they printed/spoiled this first than New Phyrexia. Makes me a lot more excited now for EDH Decks with more new cards which would not be available in standard at all.
Who would have thought that the art for that Chick in the Heavenly Inferno is neither a demon or an Angel but a Cleric instead. Oh the irony. I gotta have 4 copies of these to have a full playset.
#1 - What's the dumbest idea you ever had?
#2 - 15/15 for 15?
#1 - Make it dumber
#2 - Give it protection from removal and counter?
#1 - DUMBER!
#2 - Add Timewalk?
#1 - DAMN IT MAN, I SAID DUMB!! DUMB !!!
#2 - It destroys everything when it attacks.... And wait, I have a friend who plays mill decks... I want to beat him too.
#1 - Excellent! Recess is over, go back and learn sex-ed with the other 6th graders.
The decklists of those decks might overlap, were we aware of that? Note that they say "15 new cards" each (75 new cards), while there will be only 51 new cards total...
Yeah, we expected overlap.
Most likely in mana accel, IE I pray for a new weaker sol ring to be in every deck. (something like 3: taps for 2)
I really hope devour for power... isn't referencing the devour mechanic.
Creating card disadvantage for yourself, especially in edh is terribad. Unless it has great token production that would utterly ruin the deck.

I'm thinking more along the line of "devouring" your opponent's resources and building your own. Lots of card advantage, basically.
Based ϕn the spacing, it lϕϕks like The Mimeϕplasm's first 2 lines are either "As The Mimeϕplasm enters the battlefield, yϕu may chϕϕse a creature" ϕr "...yϕu may reveal a creature". Maybe Mimeϕplasm gets X +1/+1 cϕunters equal tϕ the cmc ϕf the chϕsen creature?
The mystery card in Devϕur fϕr Pϕwer lϕϕks vaguely Necrϕpϕtence-y, perhaps replacing the life payment with -1/-1 cϕunters ϕn itself?
My prediction with regard to the Gorgon: Skips your draw step, lets you draw a card when an opponent's creature dies. Plus deathtouch, for good measure.
It looks like the middle ones are maybe the most expensive in terms of mana cost? Karador theoretically costs 8, while all the guys on the right are 4 or 5, and the dragons are 6. All the middle guys except GUB look physically large, and it could easily be an expensive effect of some kind.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
She cant be used as a general in the deck she comes with without leaving one of the colors out, so she is just going to be one of the random cards within the deck.

She is probably part of the Mirror one.
I was guessing the RWU one, actually. She's definitely a "political" card, and has a lot more synergy with partially white cards like Swans of Bryn Argoll, Spitemare, and defenders with high toughness.
krooton: she's only RU, so she's hidden in one of the appropriate decks.
EDIT: wow, double or triple ninja'd.
On the middle WBR card:
- looks like black angel wings
- red ribbons? that's my impression
- an assumed circle on the ground, with a few skulls, and ink? etc forming most of the circle
- I'm thinking a vaguely axe-shaped weapon, or a staff.

Duel Decks and these Commander decks have different target customers. There isn't all that much overlap between the two. There shouldn't be any conflict from advertising them both.
+1 for that. So excited.

She is probably part of the Mirror one.
so she could be in either the URG or URW one
