Ah. Now we finally see where the "lone wolf" mechanic of Black that was started in AVR is going to now. Sweet. Makes sense. A cult of black creatures staying behind while their exalted demon master takes over, saying, "I can handle this".

So Legendary creatures are also returning to the core set? And won't only be at the Mythic rarity? Awesome. With multicolor, legendaries, and Exalted, I'd say things are looking pretty good for M13 right now.
Although I wonder if this means the cycle of Mythics that will (probably) be replacing the Titans will be Legendary creatures?
The mechanic for M12 was bloodthirst, a Ravnica mechanic. This is pretty baseless, but this could be wizards way teasing what plane the next block will be.

M11 had scry, just before Mirrodin came back, so it might be possible
Yeah, the guy actually seems pretty playable..man, if only he had the Titan effect of doing his ability when he enters the battlefield too..would be nuts.
I'm actually glad that this doesn't have an enters the battlefield trigger. I am absolutely sick and tired of seeing this game turn into Enters the Battlefield: The Gathering. Between creatures like Stoneforge Mystic, Snapcaster Mage, Vendilion Clique, Squadron Hawk, the Titan cycle, and others, I've had more than my fill of creatures with overpowered ETB abilities.
I'm so excited! An Alara Core set?!?! Or at least the illusion! I am really excited. Alara was a cool plane/planes and it would be great to have a core set based there. So much flavor, so glad to return!
Legendaries returning to core sets?
And new ones at that?
O-Onii-chan! M-m-my hype! It's moving on its own!

Brian Tinsman, Set Designer can only be cast during the third set of a block.
When Brian Tinsman, Set Designer enters the battlefield, ignore all flavor and mechanics of the first two sets in the block. "Ok so what do we have here... gothic horror? Scrap it. Expand the Devine Vs. Demonic duel deck to 244 cards and print it!"

For everyone who is puzzled about the appearance of a plane-specific name in a core set, all that it means is that core sets are no longer exclusive to Dominaria.
Bogardan, Shiv, Yavimaya, etc. are all locations on the plane of Dominaria and have all been featured on core edition cards.

We've also gotten core set cards that take place and feature characters/ species not found on Dominaria. The core is more of a generic fantasy setting for the most part I think with a few splashes of 'magic history' here and there.
I do often wonder what's going on in Dominaria these days though... probably a Sliver hive world or something by now.
As for Exalted, still not too keen on it being in black, but whatever it's not my call.

We were already getting that, ala Kalonia, Kelinore, Uthuun, etc.
Ya, 10th had a lot of (really really basic and bland) legendaries. This time, if each color gets a new one (very likely) that'll be pretty nest. They know what a lot of their players want (new generals) and they're willing to take pity by squeezing in 5 or so into a core set to help sell it.
THAT'S some good market research right there.

Question: are we sure that that Lili is a booster pack? From my untrained eye, that packaging looks more like the Booster Battle Pack cover to me.
In any case, it's still 'new' artwork of Lili, so that might prove interesting. Feeling like they'll reprint the last coreset walkers (their 'current' versions) and give us a new white and black one.
Also if the titans are reprinted, I'll be pretty shocked.

Seems likely that M13 takes place on Alara.
I do hope we one day find out where previous Magic Core Set locations were located in the multiverse, such as Kelinore, Kalonia, Uthuun, etc.
Further, there IS no core set plane. It takes place across multiple planes, that's why it's a core set and not an expansion. I would link to the official statement towards that, but the search function has been useless in helping me find the post.
He isn't. Liliana only went to Grixis once and didn't realize there were demons there.
Man... EVERY TIME a new demon shows up... Not cool guys.
Hey, can't blame the girl for having goals. Garruk wants a new gigantic trophy head to mount on his wall, and Lili just likes planeshopping and revenge like some sort of serial slasher movie character.

That's what I'm thinking. Original card with new art, but you never know.
My Bad, I stand corrected
The card looks fun though, but useless in my Bant (Jenara) EDH

Two things:
1.) Chances are it's Ajani 3.0 and Liliana 3.0, mono-colored, to match the set.
2.) What advertisements show those three returning?

I think the most recent was Cho Manno.

What I can't work out is that if you knew this, why did you think Alara was going to be the core set plane?
