mmm GB. and that dragon/leviathan thing looks awesome. I agree though, it does look like the shards packaging could this mean a multicolored set? on second glance it looks kind of like GUB. maybe it means new shards that have two enemy colors instead of two ally colors like the ones from the alara block?
Looks like the decks are:
Mono White
Blue/Red
Black/Blue
Green/Black
Red/?
The art doesn't look particularly artifact-y to me, but that wurm kind of looks like it is popping out of a morph shell. Looking forward to seeing higher res pictures. Thanks, for the pics!
EDIT: Now that I look again, I think those are people in the foreground actually.
If we could ONLY glance the front of the booster packs, i'm sure we'd see Karn, Elspeth, Tezzeret, or a yet to be revealed Planeswalker (perhaps newly revamped Garruk or Lilliana this block as well?).
God the angles blow, nice looking packaging though.

I guess artifacts have a less role in this than Mirrordin? Shame. I would love more artifacts for my deck

Looks about right to me.
The big guy on the top of the package looks like a hellion or Wurm to me.

Looks pretty cool, a little too Alara-esque for me, but I can always ignore that.
Hellion/Wurm thing looks pretty cool, I wonder what card that will be on?
So there's B/G, U/R, B/U, R/? and W guessing that the other pre-con will be R/G, just a guess since that will have each color (other than white, which is mono) show up twice in the decks.
If there are colored artifacts in Scars, I'll be a sad panda, being a mostly colorless set made Mirrodin pretty unique, not to completely hate on the idea, but that was Esper's shtick. Granted there can always be some flavorful explanation, but it would still probably be pretty lame.
EDIT: Just realized one pre-con is mono-W.

I haven't changed by signature since Mirrodin Besieged spoilers started!
Remember the storyline is probably Phyrexia invaded with Mirrodin or something to that affect, and that wurm thing actually reminds me of the old Horrors, which I'd love to see.
Cant be a reprint of course (reserved list says hello), but otherwise, I agree.
Did anyone notice the color of the cards at the front of the intros? Their frames don't look like normal colored cards, more like colored artifacts or multicolor.
(or purple :p)
Sure it can:

When Phyrexian Dreadnought enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you sacrifice any number of creatures with total power 12 or greater.
I'm mostly kidding, but Forkish leaves me to think that nothing is truly off limits.
Usually when I see pictures for a new set I am excited, but this one does nothing for me. Same old same old. I am sure once it all starts to come to light I will be excited, but ~this~ is meh.

No. Just no. Wizards said that after their mistake of introducing a Multicolored set (as in Alara) too soon after the last one (Ravnica, coupled along with Shadowmoor) that they weren't going to be doing any multicolored sets for a while. I highly highly highly doubt that Wizards would replace their multicolor set mistake with another. I would speculate that the next multicolored set is probably around the Block after the Block after the SoM Block as in: Multi Block --- Block --- SoM Block --- Zen Block --- Alara Block.
Anyways, this looks... well I never really care for product shots unless it's an actual card. So this is not very interesting for me :/
if you look closely at the booster display box, the people in front of the wurm are what look like a human male with his arm raised (thinking of the Vulshoks from Mirrodin 1.0) and then to the left of him is what looks like a female leonin.
Also a bad idea is to roast people for their opinion of the appropriateness of the post in question when your entire defense is based on your opinion of the appropriateness of the post.

I guessing the Phyrexian thing. I hope we get the phyrexian invasion right off the bat! I miss my Phyrexian friends!

Wow, nice catch. Possible to be a reprint?

Highly unlikely, IMO.
Mouth is a mouth is a mouth.
It is a wurm of some sort, but thats all we know.
And if it was the wurm, why would it be on boxarts? Meh.

Not since they reprinted Duskdale Wurm in M11, which is strictly better.
What? I don't see where you are getting this thought.

The foil card in front is tough to photograph without some color distortion, so I assume that's all that's going on there. No purple cards.
