The art of the original Spellskite is so iconic and recognizable that I thought I'd for sure dislike any new art, but that one is actually really neat. They made it similar. It looks like a Spellskite. It's good.
Pendelhaven is a weird choice. There is already a new frame foil promo, and you can't out-pimp foil Time Spiral or out-class Legends anyway, so who is this for?

When I hit my 3000 post mark, I'm gone for good.
Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
That Spellskite looks so much like Memnarch that it's completely distracting.
Yup, a Phyrexian Memnite is a good enough redirector.
Wouldn't every Memnite be Phyrexian? I have always considered that watermark to be a "mistake" from a flavor standpoint (cards were marked by mechanics, not flavor. They did break from that a bit later in the block).
Loving the flavour text on that spellskite! Hope we get a revisit into new phyrexia and a civil war breaks out!
That's the same flavor text it's always had..
Weird choices here. Second promo for Haven is meh, and while I enjoy the art for Skite, it doesn't feel like the impactful card they usually go for with these.
But just to nitpcik, Pendelhaven needs to look more green, and I like the old elegant looking Spellskite before.
But anyway I'll eventually try to get that Spellskite; it porbably looks good in foil
Svetlin Velinov's Spellskite illustration on Artstation. When he posted that it was the first time in a long time where I saw a card's art and said "I have to have that!" I'll pay a premium to pick up one of these, a set if it's not ridiculously crazy

Would love to see that in 25th masters but ain't happening.

It probably actually IS Memnarch art they didnt use or some weird stuff.
Looks kinda strange.

Some "sad" choices for judge promos, wanted a flashy Deaths Shadow or even Urza Lands in a sweet new artwork (given we return to Dominaria).
But i am hard to satisfy, probably ...

The Spellskite art is pretty perfect though.

Oh believe me we will get that revisit someday
The phyrexians are the most popular villains in mtg history
And plus so many fans of mtg have Ben asking for months/years for a new phyrexia revist.
We won dominaria we can do the same for new phyrexia.
But just to nitpcik, Pendelhaven needs to look more green, and I like the old elegant looking Spellskite before.

We've seen Phyrexians on Mirrodin for their last two appearances. I'd like to see them pop up somewhere else.
