I thought they were going to show Ob after showing his art, that's definitely a planeswalker art and it was such a tease. Is it me or was this panel super super short?
That's awesome. Hmm, so have they established another prison for Ulamog? Exciting. Those Jace/Nissa/Chandra art look like part of a non-planeswalker card cycle though. At least I'm hoping so because I'd really like to see other 'walker cards that set.
So we get art for jace, nissa and chandra already for the next set but have seen a grand total of 0 artwork for nahiri? I'm beginning to think she won't get even a single card in this whole zen block.
Also a LOT of rares in this set are rare for limited sake again. Good for limited yeah, but it gives me this lottery feeling once again, where you can only win with either a mythic or a treasure land.
I'm SO SICK of the "too strong for Standard" argument. It's the new "Dies to removal". We can have a two mana 4/4 with a zillion abilities, but we can't just have Accumulated Knowledge. Makes sense.

what is the gatewatch sorry i don't get the reference
The Eldrazi were locked away via the Eye of Ugin. Now, knowing the 2nd set name, it's safe to assume our Origins cast will find a way to re-seal the Eldrazi away. Imagine them in a pact, and it's name is 'Gatewatch'.

Yeah that's the one I mean. Nobody got the picture?
Is that Ulamog himself in that art? It looks a lot more like him than it does a generic Eldrazi. Is he actually going to die by god-weapon like that? That's pretty badass if so.
You may be right. His spawn share similar features to him, but that's his helmet and the spikes accross the collar/shoulders. Arms are different though. And considerably less massive.
*EDIT: Added some key art*

(Also I think someone missed another spoiler from the panel. A 2W 2/3 Ally Scout Soldier that gives everyone lifelink via Rally.)

Spoiler EditorAlso a LOT of rares in this set are rare for limited sake again. Good for limited yeah, but it gives me this lottery feeling once again, where you can only win with either a mythic or a treasure land.
Right?!
I'm still miffed they removed her back fin/mantle. But it's all good. I'm happy she's around!
I really need to see her planeswalker card with the Bident's abilities. They'd better not just stick her on the art of Giant Growth and call it a day.
Also: Did you really think Nahiri was going to show up in this block? Really?
