Again, a million times again... it isn't the matter of disbelief... it's wanting to see the freaking card spoiled before you call any pretty picture with a tree on it a Temple Garden.
Don't you find quite odd the fact that some "shockland" pictures have the guild symbol and some don't? Especially because none of the original arts had it?
I definitely do, but I suspect the ones with the Guild Insignias just might be our Prerelease promos.

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm not sure why they'd put guild symbols on them. I am not a fan, but if it's prerelease versions I'd be okay with that.
Agreed... I think we're seeing a different cycle. I'm more concerned that some of these really amazing pieces of art will end up being basic lands though.
Nuthin wrong with having gorgeous basic land art, cause that way they'll ALWAYS be playable.
Hahaha it's absolutely incredible how hard some people may press their denial in the face of all but uncontroversial evidence.
Yeah, those steamy vents are actually the art for the new land "Foggy Tubes"
And then you have "Anvil Altar"
And that overgrown tomb is clearly "Weedy Mausoleum"
And let's not forget about those arts that scream "Abandoned Church" or "Blessed Fount"
The fact that they very circumstantially resemble the old shocklands is only coincidence and wishful thinking. Yep.
I'm calling it right now- worst rare in the set. Even good limited players will find better bombs at common and uncommon no sweat. Worst. Episode. Ever.
I really do predict this to be our worst rare in set award winner. I'd be happier opening a jar of eyeballs, so I think anything worse is highly unlikely. This card wont just have zero constructed potential, but not be significantly better than a mass of ghouls in a draft.
That IS a kickass system. I was speculating based on the fact that i saw art that looked waaaay more like a watery grave...
I'm officially putting my Space Cash on the "Branded" Watery Grave being the Dimir Prerelease Promo.
After seeing this plethora of Land art,
I strongly suspect Shocks *are* the promos.
Great, now I have TWENTY foil shocks to obtain rather than ten

At least this would put more in print and "hopefully" lower the price.
that steam vents art is steam vents..obviously. I am hopeful that WotC will be giving out the shocks as playable cards for pre-release. After the way that they admitted they screwed up the Helvault promotion so badly, I think this is their way to gain back some of the peope who were upset with the last one..and seriously, who doenst love shock lands?

Look at your hand, and now back to me. Now back at your hand. Sadly it isn't my hand, but if you shuffle better it could be. Where are you? You're at your LGS drawing the hand you could have had. What's in your hand? Back to me. I have already played two Herbal Poultices. Look at it again. Those poultices are now Tarmogoyfs. Anything is possible when you shuffle better. I'm on a Phelddagrif.

That would actually be a really cool promotion. It would certainly bring in the attendance and make the players happy (maybe).

Oh, and we mustn't forget the much anticipated printings of "No-God Holy Area," "Stepping-Down-Very-Hard Place," "Wet Spot of the Dead," "Body Juice Compartment," "Plant-y, Grow-y Building," and "Fluid-Filled Mating Receptacle."
Do we need more than 2?

The Temple and grave picks are based on File Number strings in the Art-Fight site.
Temple Garden - 145233
Watery Grave - 145234
Hallowed Fountain - 145235
Blood Crypt - 145239
Breeding Pool - 145240
Overgrown Tomb - 145241
They are 6 consecutive image files
Some will have different opinions, but i'm confident based on number systems, these are the art.

The Hallowed Fountain art is so obvious it's to the point that if it's not Hallowed Fountain, Wizards is being the biggest set of d-bags ever.
The steam vents/sacred foundry/Hallowed Fountain artworks are the biggest points for shockland reprints; the art is just too perfect.
The way it's ordered in the files, apparently. Hopefully we're wrong on this one.

They list only six of the lands, and stomping grounds isn't one of them. So, I see no reason why that evidence should apply to that art.
did they admit that? can I see?
