I believe that one of these is new art, we already had seen one of them. But both of these will be available from distributors based on store box purchases.
Everyone seems to be really impressed by the new Angel art, but in all honestly it's just so bland to me. It's cool and I guess it has the FF feeling to it, but I'm just not liking it too much. Iona, Shield of Emeria's art is far better.
Hmm, that second mat is very odd... particularly the magma pillars stretching horizontally.... for no particular reason i think it might be some equipment tutor... however, i love the angel one!

Look in the Angel's art, at the stained glass window in the top left. It's the full art version of Emeria Angel! Exactly the same pose and staff, everything. Awesome Easter egg?

why would they make a WWK playmat from a ZEN card that doesn't look like any of the angels in ZEN? it's more likely that Admonition Angel from WWK that we heard about in the tidbits thread from the french poster (sure that thread did get locked, but his info is proving true so far). either way, i love the angel art, looks like it could be done by Michael Komarck (my favorite artist) do we have an artist credit for these?
edit: ohhh, nvm, i see what goodking was talking about. the window is emeria angel, i thought you were talking about the angel itself... yeah, reading is not my strong point today.
the other one looks like (maybe?) a kor in some sort of ritual. maybe an equipment tutor, since the glowing pars of those things above her are shaped like swords.
total casual player, I love being able to swing in with a Stonehewer Giant equipped with a Sword of Vengeance, Sword of Light/Shadow, Lightning Greaves, and Argentum Armor. That's not gonna happen anywhere but casual play.

This angel has come up many many times so far in ultrapro spoilers so i'm assuming she is the 6/6 angel that olbivion rings on landfall *or so the speculation says she is that*

it's the ring around the head, clearly. might be a variation, but the head piece, the dress/wings, and the halo around the eyes are pretty similar if nothing else.
hopefully that second one does something for the Kor.
Another Kor lord, hopefully! Some unconditional pumping and cheap equipment tutoring would be nice. Like this:
Shaman of the Forge - Kor Shaman - 1WW
Other Kor creatures you control get +0/+2. WW: Search your library for an Equipment card and put it on the battlefield. Shuffle your library.
0/3
It has nice art though. Same for the angel, but the whole "Zendikar-angel's-halo-over-eyes" bit is annoying. I know they are differentiating between angels on other planes, but it looks stupid.

Seems like it could do justice for Kors.
I agree about the art, they are gorgeous. However, I think the halo over the eyes thing is neat! Luminarch Ascension is so beautiful because of it lol.
Something about that angel really puts me off. From the first time I saw it, there's been something weird about it. It might just be the hair coupled with the ridiculously large wings and flowing clothes. Still though....it's....just...odd. Not ugly...but...odd. The other piece of art is equally as strange. It'll probably look better in a square frame with some of the unnecessary bits cropped, but still. Hm. Beautiful art, anyways.

Amazing art on both.

Prediction:
Sacrafice an equipment: _____ deals x damage to target creature or player, where x is equal to that equipment's converted mana cost.
That seems rather underwhelming though

Great art all around too.

I agree with this totally, tis why I don't have a playmat, but that angel's art is so nice if I can get a playmat I will.
