Found these while trolling the web of all things. I don't know if they have been spoiled or spotted by anyone else but enjoy!

OO, kithkin riding pigs.

Anyone else think that oe picture is a possible Oona sighting?

Ace · 02-07-2008, 05:02 PM

Groovy. The kithkin picture reinforces the idea of the Mistmeadow Skulk.

kman1474 · 02-07-2008, 05:08 PM

nice find. i noticed the eyes on the kithkin also. it does look like mistmeadow skulk was from shadowmoor.

Burning_Lotus · 02-07-2008, 05:08 PM

Looks good, I really like the dark theme alot. Gonna be some really awesome art come outa this set I'd say.

Asuryan · 02-07-2008, 05:09 PM

The third box down, with what looks like a flower-avatar, is presumably Oona.

Also, one of the boosters shows what appears to be a flame-kin.

Certainly lends weight to the dark-Lorwyn theories.

i thought oona's a fairy not an avatar or elemental. i first thougth it was some weird elemental. it looks like the flamekin and the kithkin and boggarts and elves will all be back in this set.

warning novel spoiler.

Thanks for the pictures, qfx!

What we have, overall: a dark, dreary setting; scrub grass, twisted trees, etc. Pretty much as the name implies!

What we have, specifically:

What's clearly a kithkin riding a springjack (it's not a pig, guys, look again) -- his eyes are yellow, basically confirming that Mistmeadow Skulk is a Shadowmoor setting card.
Some sort of plant-monster-swamp-thingy. I'm pegging this as an elemental at first glance.
A humanoid, blue being, surrounded by flowers. This is definitely faerie-related in some way... the possibility that it's Oona has to be high on the list, definitely.
Our previously known image of the elf being attacked by the merfolk.
Those pack images are hard to make out. One looks like a purplish creature with a beak -- not sure what this could be. One is a bluish humanoid with a shape and color that suggest "merfolk" to me. One is a green and black thing I can't parse at all. And one is unambiguously a head shot of a Lorwyn-style flamekin.

There also seems to be a warped version of the Thoughtweft Trio/Sextet depicted in the illustration just behind the basic lands.

Uriel Coleridge · 02-07-2008, 05:18 PM

I thought fat packs carried only six boosters??? Why is this one carrying 8?

Also, I'm loving the feel of this block. The art on what could be Oona is just wicked cool (though a little too blue-sy for my taste). I hope we get some images of what the faeries will look like sometime soon.

Zaph · 02-07-2008, 05:19 PM

So awesome. I really can't wait any longer

Funny that there's no black precon visible. I guess the fourth one is

or

. Or there's no black precon at all and the fourth one is

About the boosters(from left to right):

#1: Purplish humanoid (merfolk)
#2: Brown thing
#3: Flame-Kin
#4: Known image "Darkness falls on MTG"
#5: Bird-headed creature (elemental?)
#6: = #1
#7: = #4
#8: = #3

sentimentGX4 · 02-07-2008, 05:19 PM

These boxes are right... it is the 15th anniversary of MTG! I can also see there'll be something that gives 8 boosters. I wonder what it is? I like the new thinner theme deck packaging too. Wait, theme deck packaging was always minimal. That just means the decks are getting larger packaging! Blah. Unless that's not a theme deck. This new packaging is confusing me. I hope amongst one of these new products is a fatpack without the novel.

urzassedatives · 02-07-2008, 05:21 PM

Impressive find!
I love the color palate for this set, the dreary green is just great.

R/G, W/G, W/U Theme Decks so far.

Shadowmoor rumor season is a go!
My avatar has been updated accordingly, but eh.

Lord Cecil · 02-07-2008, 05:23 PM

Nice find. I have to say, I am really impressed by the artwork. I have a good feeling about this set.

Mr. President · 02-07-2008, 05:24 PM

It looks like The Dark all over again.

I like it.

EDIT: If the whining on that other thread in this forum and every thread on the various pro forums, ranging from TCGPlayer.com to the Players Union, is correct and Magic is imminently dying, it looks like it'll be going out on a high.
