Gonti, Lord of Luxury2BB
Legendary Creature - Aetherborn Rogue (R)
Deathtouch
When Gonti, Lord of Luxury enters the battlefield, look at the top four cards of target opponnent's library, exile one of them face down, then put the rest on the bottom of that library in a random order. For as long as that card remains exiled, you may look at it, you may cast it, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any type to cast it.
2/3
Hmmm, some kind of Esper commander deck with lots of flickering?
Skysovereign is awesome, a bit of a flying Inferno Titan feel with an upkeep cost.
EDIT: And Depala! A boros general not simply saying "Go hit stuff", finally.

Vehicules are basically equipments with different ups and down. Both require a guy, but vehicules stay more independent. If you kill the vehicule, it doesn't kill its crew.
Destroying an artifact doesn't destroy the creature holding it either.
Ah, sigh. As soon as I re-read my post, I knew someone would reply like this. See, when you read something doesn't make immediate sense, you have two choices: assume the poster is an idiot and write a reply, or assume the poster actually wrote something sensible and seek the alternative interpretation that would make sense. Here's the alt interpretation:
To kill a good vehicule with creature removal (i.e. the most plentiful, regularly played type), you need to wait for the vehicule to be animated. That doesn't kill the crew. If you kill the crew, the vehicule can be animated by another crew. For a good equipment, if you hold creature removal, you always target the wearer, not the equipment.
As for the new black lord of luxury, that is quite good since it doesn't need to stay alive to be able to cast the card. Flicker effects would re-trigger. With death-touch, it's an almost certain 2-for-1.
interesting dwarf flavor, although I say these are reminiscent of Gnomes, although dwarves with airships makes me think of Final Fantasy 4, the airship just needs a drill on it.

In all fairness your alternative interpretation is extremely convoluted.
They referred to Gonti as He more than a couple times after that though...
Also, was that an Artifact Sliver in Padeem's art just now....
True, but people refer to cards as their (as in the player's) gender all the time when it's ambiguous. Like Atarka, Dromoka, etc. For the record I don't think Ashiok is aetherborn since they are constructs without souls, but I could be wrong!
And referencing Kaya, so she WAS done just to have a black female walker?
Presumably, she was created because the story called for someone to assassinate Brago. She's black because... why not? Planeswalkers, thanks to their ability to teleport between worlds, rarely have a narrative requirement for any particular ethnicity. Why not use that freedom to represent players?
Pilots! Dwarves! Dwarves piloting Vehicles! This is awesome.
Skysovereign actually looks really, really good. The fact that you're almost guaranteed a trade at minimum is a great start, you can animate it with all sorts of 3 mana and 4 mana creatures played before it, and hitting planeswalkers is a huge bonus....this looks like a borderline playable for modern, I'd be bold enough to put it right around the power level of Keranos, Batterskull, Thragtusk etc.

Serious answer I once recieved to this question: How can there be black people in (FICTIONAL WORLD) when there isn't an Africa in (FICTIONAL WORLD)?

Aside from the fact that they actually DID have an Africa (Jamuraa), that's a question only someone completely lacking in imagination would ask.

They didn't say that at all, just that they knew she existed and it was hard to not talk about her to those asking for more diversity.
DFCs are a special case just for the Innistrad blocks (and Origins featured a set of 5 as Planeswalkers, but that's different).
Vehicles are just another subtype of artifact, they won't be treated special.

They planning to start using DFCs more often because of how popular and useful they are.

Between the Kaladesh panel and the WoW:Legion launch, I thought nothing could bring this week down. I was wrong.
If your Dwarf art could go onto a Human card without anyone noticing, you've got a problem with your dwarf execution.

Choose one of these judge of creation:
Make Strionic Resonator shine!
You can not grasp the true form of Ashiok's attack!
