Dont cha think we lately always see Zombies along with Liliana ? i honestly think she will have an ability on her Card that creates Zombie-Tokens. Like:
+1 Exile a creature Card from a graveyard: Put a 2/2 black Zombie Creature token onto the battlefield.
I really really want to know why in the world is Liliana going back to Innistrad.
She has the Veil that is boring through her mind, she has 2 more demons to dispatch so she can be free of her contract, she is being hunted down by Garruk...
Last time she came to Innistrad she made it plenty clear that all she wanted was to get rid of Griselbrand and get the next big demon on the list.
Out of every single priority she has, why would she waste her time back on a plane she has no business with...?
INB4 Jace seduced her into it.
The only logical reason I can think of is that she has learned of an artifact on the plane that will help her in some way... Not like that's ever backfired on her before...

Or Jace offers to help her out with her next demon/the chain veil or something like that. Honesty thats why I except her to join the gatewatch.
We jus have to wait and see how the story plays out it.

I think Jenrik here on the forums might be very happy about a couple of his favorite characters appearing as cards in this set...
If something is going on with the moon, whether it's Nahiri or Emrakul somehow sealed within it(unlikely but still), and that anomaly is causing the madness on Innistrad, guess which two U researchers are on the plane and have all but dedicated their lives to studying the plane's moon? The obsessive lunar reaercher, Jenrik and everyone's favorite moonfolk, Tamiyo. I'd think that they would be the first ones to notice anything going wrong with the moon and the first ones trying to correct it.

Joining the Gatewatch is counter to her personality though, sure, she'll probably work with them if their goals coincide or overlap in some way. But ultimately Lily only cares for Lily.

To all the people saying this looks too "Twilight-y", Maro credits Twilight as one of the things that let him convince The Powers that Be to let him do the original Innistrad. Which was the best set ever. So I wouldn't be too worried about Twilight's influence. Especially when there 100 clues pointing to this being very, very Lovecraftian.
Well based on the known SOI cards having no Eldrazi seen or depicted in them, as well as the key art they used for this new set showing Liliana doing what she does, I have high hopes there will be no Eldrazi. There seems to be two potential threats already with Nahiri scorned and Liliana on the plane, as well as the possibility that something has happened to the angels. Adding the Eldrazi in the cards and those storylines would be a mess. There is no good quality to having tentacle baloths seemingly eat(or whatever Emrakuls spawn does) Innistrad only to have them stopped with a few bumps in the road by recently overpowered planeswalkers (IE Gideon's hieromancy holding back Ulamog 1-on-1)
Innistrad is less likely to be destroyed than what Zendikar was based on popularity, and with Zendikar they failed to make use of the magical seeds given to Nissa to regrow New Zendikar on a new plane to show that the stakes are high when facing the Eldrazi.

Well... At least half of Zendikar is now a barren waste, and it would have ended up worse if the Eldrazi weren't stopped, so there is that. Zendikar will recover, but it is going to take longer than it did for Dominaria.

I'm glad none of you are in Design or R&D, your ideas are so stale and superficial mosquitos are spawning on them.
On the other hand WotC has been show to be just that stale and superficial lately.
How mad will you be when Lilly and Jace beat Emracool with the power of love while the uncool, non-origins 5 old**** walkers look in awe?
Yup and from the info we have right now, Lilliana feels shoehorned in.Outlook for storytelling still not looking good if they keep pulling these things.She has no reason to be there,I'm interested in her story but,she's after her two remaining demons and they are not on innistrad.This just reeks of for forcing her into a set to get her an oath and because she's an origin five member.Meanwhile Tamiyo and tibalt are still said to be on innistrad,will they get cards? Hopefully,but highly unlikely that both will.

Thats why I said if they agree to help her out. She helps them a some matter and she then has four other walkers who own her a favor, after which she will drop them like a bag of rocks. Plus if the chain veil starts to get world destroy-ery again the gatewatch might help out willingly.

Really? Page 4 and no-one's made a Sisters of Mercy reference?! What on earth is the world coming to? Ohhhhh... Liliana, Sister of Mercy. *That* would make my year.
There'd better be a legendary Lucretia too. And I want cards called Floodland, Dominion and Black Planet

Yup, none too happy about Liliana either. Wonder how what excuse for forcing her into the set are they coming up with. Regarding possible PWs, I doubt we'll see Tamiyo, since Jace is the face of SoI. Tibalt is more likely, with explosive devil tokens and whatnot.

What's going on with that set's font and color?!
Looks like Wizards wants some more little girls playing their card game. Also fits with their Twilight theme.
That or scare away insecure males which this game has way too many of.
One thing I am fairly certain of.. New Tibalt is NOT gonna suck. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see a 'very pushed' Tibalt this time around, just to spite everyone.
That and this flavor feels like 100% lock to show up somewhere: "They laughed at me.. THE FOOLS." --Tibalt..
Believe it or not, they were trying to do something really cool by making a 2-mana PW, not inadvertently create a stupid Magic meme. I bet they push back with Tibalt, and pretty hard. We could also see some really-pushed Madness cards (or enablers) that make his original version suddenly playable. Heis still just two mana.

Are people really mad that Liliana will appear? I guess people have different priorities, because I couldn't give a flying freezer about the lore, I'm just happy we'll see a new Liliana PW card.
I'd also want to say that I'd be surprised if Tamiyo didn't make an appearance in the block, but can they go two whole sets without printing a new Jace these days? Eh not too sure about that.

Specifically, they're eldritch nazis.

I always figured the Amphin were the MTG Deep Ones. I don't know for certain, but I think being from a Core Set makes them for Shandalar...Too bad.
I still remember- shortly after Tibalt was revealed,
*several* posters here commented on wanting a BR version that plays well with Madness.
Looks like occasionally, WotC does pay attention.

My bet would be it's just a mistake. My recollection is that in the past when they've left out the expansion symbol it's generally been a mistake.

Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
