That's Anthem of the Rakdos to the right, but all of the other artwork is unknown to me. Any guesses on what cards it will be? And the art in the middle with the eye popping out is gruesomely awesome. 8)

Well, that's all of the good stuff. Arcana is telling about the new edition of Magic Arcana and Jay continues on the building of Gruul Wilding.

Edit: Didn't realize that they hadn't posted Tuesday's pictures also. Well, here is the pic from Anthony Alongi's article, "A Journal For the Birds." This card is supposedly going to be a very good Blue Control card. The artwork seems to be that of either Nottsuo or Justin Norman. But we'll see...

It is a split, but remember it can be one we haven't heard of yet. To me, it looks like Hit/Run.

The last picture looks like a white/blue bounce spell. Maybe something like:

Superbounce :1mana::w::u:
Instant

-Return target creature to its owners' hand. You gain life equal to its toughness.

Oooo there's a sliver on that banner, next to the rakdos lookin guy on the right O.o

I think that control card is mono-blue though :/ not sure. Maybe it's a reprint of Counterspell :lol:
