That showing up Chandra not being very red like is kinda weird to me. Chandra is always associated with fire in every one of her cards. Could we see a softer side of Chandra in her art? Would they change her card?
He might be too complicated, but we also have to keep in mind that the card they put at the end of the trailer could have just been a placeholder card with the M12 symbol 'shopped in. He might have a new card, he might not. I personally don't think he represents White well enough on his current card to warrant that being his M12 version.
I do agree with the part about Gideon not really representing the color White. Gideon's abilities are more Black or even Red based then White with the whole -2 assasinate ability or the +2 Frenzy type ability.

I think this forum would be strictly better if people would stop trying to force the word strictly into discussions.
You should have used gatherer pictures since the coloration would have been more accurate. Printed cards differ in coloration a ton.
I really doubt all 5 of them will be reprints, making Jace and Chandra new cards would work well since they had a duel deck, whereas the other guys haven't. And it'll keep the set semi-fresh on the planeswalker part. Perhaps they'll explain it with a "we will reprint a walker only X number of times before a new version is mandatory."

Yeah, I just did this image to get a little closer look. You can see the coloration difference from the magiccards.info Gideon to theirs. But you guys be the judge:
The voice work in this comericial is amazing! It really makes Gideon seem like a neat character.

I can't find the thread now, (might be that Imma lazy...) but wasn't there a new art of Chandra released? Has anyone checked to see if the sides of that image match up with this "new" Chandra card? But yeah, Garruk and Jace also look newish. Unfortunately, Sorin seems pretty similar, and we can be almost 100% sure Gideon isn't getting a revamp...
does anyone else wish wizards would use new art/video to make their features? instead of warping gideon's chest to make it look like he's breathing
same here, Wizard does that all the time with their promo videos. I thought that's really silly. It's not like they are amatuers who are just trying to do mocking videos for youtube. It's their product and they just move the arm of a still picture Chandra?

Gideon is such a badass. Add that to his actual card, which I absolutely love, and he's my favorite bradywalker by a fair margin.
The video was way better than I expected. They did a great job with the animation, even if actually producing new images (rather than pseudo-animating existing ones) would have been ideal.
I am 99% Sure there will be new walkers in m12, They Sell Packs! Chandra, Jace, Garruk and Sorin have all had major plot happenings since ROE. Gideon however was from that very set that quickly stopped being drafted when m11 hit, so he isn't the easiest card to get. So glad I cashed mine in at the height of value. His abilities are fine for limited as he does not have some ridiculous game winning ultimate like Chandra. Gideon is a wonderful flagship for White. Whats funny in the video is he is saying Bolas cant change his enemies to allies... but that's exactly what Nicol does... and why cant he just cast celestial Purge to Exile that old Dragon fart?
Did anybody else notice the PW cards at the end of the trailer. Look like all reprints except for Jace. Call me crazy, but the left of the border doesn't look like the image of Beleren OR Mindsculptor. New Jace?

i don't know if anyone noticed but they showed the original Gideon art at the end with the m12 core set symbol so am pretty sure its gonna be reprints.

you say that as if M11 didn't come out after ROE..
Uh so are you saying there should have been new ones in M11? There was massive speculation that there wold be, but they had the Titans. This time around the time is very ripe for them to do this. No one will buy the set if its Lorwyn+Zen walkers and titans AGAIN.
This. They're not going to be printing new versions of the planeswalkers in the coreset, they're just giving the remaining 3 of the original 5 new artwork. They have used the same artwork for the Lorwyn 5, since Lorwyn, that's quite a while ago. It's like how they change the art of Might of Oaks, Giant Growth, Counterspell, Brainstorm, basic lands, etc.

no, i'm saying the entire "the PWs have changed during ROE" argument is ridiculous notion because we've already seen WotC reprint the walkers as they are post-ROE
and no there wasn't massive speculation, i was around this time last year, and sure some people might have speculated it was possible, but it obv didn't happen and there was never strong evidence to the contrary.
edit: and with the first guy i quoted i now see that he says "since" ROE not during (like i first thought) to which i ask, how has Garruk, Jace, and Chandra changed in Scars block, considering they aren't in it..

I think we can never expect new PWs in coresets, they will always be reprints from expansions.

Chandra is also supposed to get a new art in M12.
