A real let down though come on show one Walker Face Card. Unless they are saving something for the end.
This artwork was the only one that captured my interest. Out of the themes, BANT-chantress sounds amazing. I've always wanted a good Esper commander as well, but this whole top of library nonsense sounds awkward.
Well, no Kamigawa stuff, but I already know which deck I'll be getting. Bant Enchantress has been on my personal wishlist for a long time. Maybe I'll also get the Esper one...
The Theros and Seb McKinnom arts were my favourites.
Yeah I am glad they are finally doing BANT Enchantress to go with ESPER enchantress and I guess NAYA Enchantress. Still need to do Abzan Enchantress.
I like the Creepy girl and the Theros one.
Still top of your library seems really bad or hilariously broken kinda remind of Miracle Cards so I guess I am interested not so much for EDH but for Legacy and Modern if something gets reprinted elsewhere.

Wasn't there a monk with some wolf spirit heads? Or is that eh Tarkir.
So the creep girl and the mask woman? are new walkers right?

WUB Top Deck Card Matters: No idea who this is quite frankly.
If it's an existing character, 99% sure it's Vronos. Vronos is a Cathar in service of Avacyn (thus topdeck matters, because Avacyn = Miracles) that Planeswalked into Esper and learned the secrets of Etherium (thus WUB).
Of course, it's still very likely that it's a new character as well.

My Abzan enchantress deck is still waiting for a commander.

Still convinced the guy on Beseech the Queen is wearing a Mitra-type hat. Wake up sheeple!
So the creep girl and the mask woman? are new walkers right?
Where was it said those were the actual walkers? And why those two over any other. I seriously doubt the creepy girl is a walker mostly because no way WOTC is writing a story where some little girl gets beat up by a Villain or Heroes. Unless that is a flash back to when she was a little girl purely for the card and they are doing flip walkers or something.

I love BANT-chantress so I am all in. And Theros themed? Stand aside.
The issue I have with the decks is adhering to a mechanical theme, which limits which Legends we can get more often than not. I'd rather they just be limited by the Commander's color identity and not have so much to do with mechanics or a goal. People mix and match these decks all the time, and it's really only color that restricts them. A loose mechanical identity is fine, but I think they're too rigid about it.
I still feel Serra should be Mono-White. Perhaps she won't be the face card after all? Or perhaps I was wrong and they'll, regrettably, make her Bant? Which is a joke, because Nahiri is in no way more white than Serra. Hell, she's Boros now.

But yeah i don't like themes like Top of the Deck that is super limited. Grenzo I guess was interesting but it just super limited compared to the rest. I don't mind Lands, Artifacts, Enchantments matter those are more broad. Honestly, this should have been ARTIFACTS, ENCHANTMENTS, LANDS and GRAVEYARDS matter not top of the deck only. I really want a commander to unite the Zombies of Amonkhet and those of Innistrad. Toss in Spirits as well.
So Windgrace is likely the Jund walker, that mask lady is perhaps a new Esper walker (first of its kind). Serra could still be a Bant walker but as Ritokure pointed out that Vronos is a high possibility. Not sure who's going to be the UR walker for artifact, because I assume they'd use someone new for commander product, but we did see a new Saheeli picture in art book...
One thing for sure is Urza, at least not in his prime, will be in this set. His artificer self could still be in it.

No, just going by how they have portrait art instead of landscape.

"You can tell how dumb someone is by how they use Mary Sue"
Fair Enough, 5colors stand by my point but that is a good observation. She certainly looks like she is ESPER or at least BW or UB.
Yeah,
ESPER: Is wide open best slot for a new character if you ask me.
IZZET: I am going with Saheeli thanks to the poster. We are not going back to Kaladesh anytime soon and the background for the poster is Kaladesh not Ravnica. I seriously doubt its Urza.
BANT: Could be Serra or Tamiyo. Serra might work if they have 2 walkers per deck they could toss in a Mono White one. But I cannot see Bant before White for her. Problem for Tamiyo is her background was Ravnica which is weird if she is Commander with that background.
JUND: Lord Windgrace is basically a lock. I cannot think of another reason to commission new art for him. He is pretty dead.

I'm quite confident none of these arts are for planeswalkers - probably not even legendaries. Maybe the Nyxian Karametra-like enchantress, but could as well be just an enchatment creature that draws you cards for playing enchantments...
Really, no illustration that seems to be some known character is disappointing - but then again I wouldn't have recognized Feldon by art alone myself.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.
[thread=239793][Game] Level Up - Creature[/thread]
This announcement got me very, very worried. No monowhite deck and no five-color one likely mean no Urza or Serra. Or worse: a two- or tricolor Urza and a Bant-colored Serra. I surely hope that won't happen. Very disappointing overall, at least for me.
I feel you. When I saw the zombie, gladiator lady and spider artworks I rolled my eyes. Esper top of deck matters? I cringed. And the thought of a Bant Serra nauseates me.
But most of all, I really hope they're not looking to pass off that blue mask lady as a Kamigawa card.
Could also be each deck gets a new walker or two who aren't the face card (but maybe can be commanders and/or have parter/parter with).

I think they should have at least showed the Lord Windgrace Walker Card wasn't even from a leak since its from the Art Book.
They did this way better the first time they did Walker Commanders, Teferi being revealed early built hype. I suppose it help he went on to be a powerhouse in cEDH.
And yeah I stand by the focus for ESPER should have been Graveyards and Reanimation. All the Zombies are in this color and a whole lot of spirits plus such a theme fits way better with Lands, Enchantments and Artifacts...Top Card of Library Matters doesn't fit at all compared to that.
Zombies and graveyard themes have become pretty boring by know. Top of library sounds interesting. I'm thinking of tutors and Sensei's Divining Top-like stuff here.
Does anyone else find it weird that three of the four decks are about card types, and the last is about a game zone? Why was the fourth deck "top of library" and not "creatures" or "instants/sorceries"? It feels... off.

Why humans become the dominating species of our planet over all the other races? Idk maybe because it happened RD must have come with this theme and really liked it.
