Okay, so it isn't Black Knight. My bad. But it is an amazing piece that feels as B as black can be. I keep thinking of how happy black got in Lorwyn/Shadowmoor* and how glowy-sulphury-green-purle black has been in Alara. This art is sooty, lifeless, and cold. It's nice.

I like the skeletons. although they look way too tough to be Drudge Skeletons. I hate the art for the hydra though, it looks too much like Godsire, the background is not good and it looks more like a bunch of tangled up wurm heads because I cannot see the body. I like the Greek style hydras much better.

a small sentence for you to read while you ignore my post.
The Humans Being Chased By The Hydra Look Like They Belong To A Certain Block Set. The hydra art though, ick! The artist could have at least placed the hydra and humans in anything but a blue screen couldn't he?
I like the skeletons. although they look way too tough to be Drudge Skeletons.
They do look a bit too badass to be a 1/1 regenerator, but that may have more to do with Darken's style than anything. All of his stuff looks really tough.
The Hydra is blind. (I can't visibly see any eyes on its heads)
May be they're a whole bunch of snakes? A lot of the hydra art normally has the body visible in addition to the head, the exception is Apocalypse Hydra and Progenitus, but that's in order to show them being totally MASSIVE (It seems that scale wise the other hydras are smaller)
Maybe the Hydra is Sea Monster. That would at least explain the blue BG.
I can only assume that the second artwork is a new card. I can't think of any Skeleton/Knight card that would be reprinted that matches the art that would require such fantastic artwork.
The Hydra art looks painfully stupid to me, but the skeletons are freaking awesome :D. They definitely do seem too bad ass just to be Drudgies, but I suppose they could be, and I would be ok with that.

Yeah the mouth on Godsire does look like the mouth on the Hydra. I hope this is a new Hydra and not a reprint of Rock Hydra, because Rock would deserve a better picture than this. The skeletons are either the return of the Drudge or a new improved version.
Jace on the other hand gives you card advantage for no life cost. On the contrary, Jace can actually take some damage for you. I'd think that makes him better than Arena.
First art looks like it could be Dermot Power or (more probably) Jim Murray. Second one already known to be Daarken. Looks like Balduvian Dead, but is probably some kind of zombie warrior 2/2

The second art has been confrimed to be Drudge Skeletons by the artist.
The second one, maybe hypnotic specter?

2. Black Knight? Probably not, but beautiful. Probably Drudge Skeletons.

First art is great, too.

Can't be, the black knight art was already revealed.
GWU
Black Knight has already been spoiled with a picture by Wizards and its not this.
I dont really care what that black card is, but holy hell, it is awesome. I hope its good so I wont feel bad running it, heh.
I dont care for the background on the hydra art, bright blue with no hint as to where it is? Seems out of place.

The skeletons look very good IMO from their art.

May be the second art is a skeleton token maker?

But, since theres no Gold in M10, I'm stumped....
I agree. the first thing i thought when I saw the card was "Ach! Hans, Run!"
Agreed... that hydra art is AWFUL... the other art is++ though
Yes i am the same guy who trades/sells on MOTL AND Wizards of the Coast and i trade on POJO.
Looks THAT awesome. But nah, probably some crap common.
