I think it is very safe to assume that all four face cards are avatars, since all four of them logically should have eminence as their new keyword.
Avatar:
1) the descendant of a deity to the earth in an incarnate form or some manifest shape.
2) an embodiment or personification, as of a principle attitude or view of life.
You could be right. Have you some references about Avatar mtg definition? Take a look to Avatar creature here, in a big majority of cases they have an ethereal component in images, excluded some old images and strange beasts.
About Eminence, you pair this ability and Avatar really strong. But also a "Guildmaster" can have Eminence ability.
If they are all Avatars I trust in Shapeshifter theory.
You are right about Knigths. Please read Knigth instead Warrior. It's my fault I thought about Knights and wrote Warriors.
About other consideration I prefer the Shapeshifter theory but this second theory could be a valid alternative. And satisfy my aversion to consider Edgar and NamelessOne Avatars. If you take a look to Ur-Dragon and Arhobo they look a bit ethereal and mythic. Edgar and NamelessOne are not etheral seems more part of reality.
Night has bring me some ideas and reinforce my ideas about Shapeshifter theory adding a piece to the puzzle. She must have the role of near the Edgar role in Vampire deck. This for a symmetry can be observe in four new commander: Ur-Dragon and Edgar are known in mtg storyline. Arhabo and NamelessOne are unknown. Ur-Dragon and Arhabo could be assigned to a similar role. Also Edgar and NamelessOne could have a similar role of representation of Vampire and Shapeshifter. She always can be Lavaz in a past role, before abandon white to become Dimir Guildmaster (in my idea deck is BUW). Shapeshifter theory seems have a kind of solidity.
Thinking about I've a new idea. We all take for granted Edgar is a Vampire tribal deck but, as I say before, is not simple for me to imagine it as an Avatar. What about a Warrior tribal deck? With a vampire subtheme? Using symmetry whe could have two Avatar (one known and one not) and two Guildmaster (warrior and rogue for example). Whe don't know if Edgar and NamelessOne are Avatar. They could have Guildmaster, or something on, as second type (like Avatar for Ur-Dragon and Arhabo). In Edgar storyline there's no reference to Warrior class, he was an Alchemist. But the Armor his servants help him to wear is a Warrior Armor as anyone can see. This is an alternative theory not expected and with some holes. But I like it.
Shapeshifter is one of my hopes after Angels downfall. Can really be a valid option for the men in circle, they are really similar.
Taking a look to Lavaz here i've found:
Quote from Lavaz on Gamepedia »
Lazav continues to use most of Szadek's methods, giving both their own agents and mercenaries (one of whom is Krenko[1]) as little information as is required to further their goals.
Details about them are unknown, including Lazav's real gender. They claim that they take orders from some greater power.
Words "agents" and "gender" really tickle my fantasies. Men in circle have hoods like Lavaz, they can be Agents of Lavaz. The light on her face can be represent the revelation of another form of Lavaz or about the real form of Lavaz. She can be Lavaz or a kin, really near. Also the high difficult to guess the race can partially confirm the Shapeshifter option.
Changing my bid. Bid on Shapeshifter
Seems a valid option and I can appreciate it.
Other three tribes are racial tribes. It's possible but not granted that fourth tribe is not a racial tribe but a "work" tribe. In last period Wizards be careful with types of creature. I'm not truly persuaded that the fourth tribe is a "guild" (Clerics, Wizards, Rogues, ...) but it's possible.
Analyzing the image we can see a cohort of men around a woman. It's possible she isn't an Avatar, personally I don't see Edgar Markov as an Avatar, but she is the very important for other people. She had a light armor with mantle and without hood. Men have some protections and hood. There's a light from the ceiling enlighten her face. Mens can be part of a ritual but can also only bow themself to their leader.
Whole image is a set of conflicting signals. Wizzy have some great people working aroud marketing because this last image is causing a lot of pages of writings in whole world until last tribe will be revealed.
If the last tribe is a "guild" my vote go for Rogue, cause the first impression.
If the last tribe is a racial tribe like others I don't vote Humans, but I've no alternatives ideas
Taking a look to the image posted, the woman with circle of man behind, we can surely see an UB colored card. The light coming from up, seems from an hole in the ceiling, enlighten face of the woman seems add W to the color of the deck. Also considering purple in box they seems confirm a BUW deck.
I don't know if there's an english version but translation fom italian sounds near "Hope is the last to die".
Misleading Artwork? Non complete artwork? The light in the artwork can be an ascention?
I'm going to hope in Angels as long as it possibile
I really love new Dragon Deck and I'm really impressed by Ramos and by The Ur-Dragon. I want to play big penta-dragons as soon as possible.
Also I would really love to see an Angel 5C deck. Also with an Eminence tribal ability, for example when an angel attack get +1/+1 or something similar.
Yes, seems a good place where equip this "Flail of Ages". And it's another good target also useful to protect other equipments from direct removal. Considering my actual Dakkon version has about 10-12 minions, I decided to keep Conqueror's Flail in deck for a while
Hi Cryogen, had you test, or planning to test, Conqueror's Flail??
Seems can be a good card in Dakkon, i don't play frequently as one year ago, but i'm going to test
Nothing special.
The spell goes to the graveyard, which is typically replaced with going to the Command Zone for a commander, and the mana is added to your mana pool as normal.
How much? General cost increase on any cast from the Commander Zone, with plasm capture or mana drain we can add only regualar cmc i'm right?
Thanks, David.

Anyone known what happen when a General is countered using one of these spells?
Thanks again, David.
