Caranthir, does the original source give any clues about the names in their URL's? That gave us interesting info before, about former sets.
Unfortunately not, Hunter bro. The files I found had just generic names like "imageup1" etc.
I like them. I am probably going for the lower album, with Oona & co.
What is strange: All previous sets had two types of deckboxes - horizontal and vertical one (like the planeswalker one) E.g. for LOR, it was vertical Imperious Perfect and horizontal Ashling. Now, there are only two horizontal ones.
But again, there was always one album with a single picture, and other with an art collage. Now, they are both collage - type. Seems that this is yet another Shadowmoor change.

Something I find rather strange, is that we know like all the arts already. In the Arts from Shadowmoor topic, there were about 80/301 arts. Chances are that we should have known about 30% of the arts in this list. Yet we know all of them already..
Where's all the other arts? Why aren't they used in merchandise? And why does the user who created the topic post exactly those cards? Questions.. Questions..
It's probably because of the source of images. Maybe they're all used in promotional stuff like card sleeves... And some bonus ones - maybe they weren't used, but could be?
And there were 37 arts, which is slightly more than 1/10th of the set.

Well, IIRC, there are 35 arts from the founder of the Arts thread, one from Beyer's article (the flaming horses), the "Demigod of Justice" art from the flier, and 10 new arts from the booster (Ballynock Cohort, Demigod of Revenge, Beseech the Queen, Wanderbrine Rootcutters and Lurebound Scarecrow images were among the leaked arts). Even if you count the arts from the booster, that totals 47, not 80.
Why we have just the "merchandise" arts? That's easy...the 35 arts probably leaked from somebody connected to some site that was given them as an advertising material - therefore their usage in merchandise, as seen on these products is fully reasonable.

Those Oona sleeves are some of the nicest I've seen in a while. Usually I question some of the choices they use... but these are VERY nice. Also, the planeswalker stuff is gorgeous. I guess I'm a little suprised they hadn't done that earlier.

This is normal. Every set we get a dump of high-resolution illustrations intended for promotion of the set, and the specific illustrations we get are those which have been selected by the Brand team to be used to promote the set. You'll notice that all the art on the boosters and other Shadowmoor packaging also come from the art we have, for the same reason.
That also confirms that the picture of alternate-Wort is in fact Wort, and tells us that the picture of the "zombie" in front of the moon is actually the banshee.
They should've included Demigod of Justice in the sleeve production line, though. Those would have been amazing, am I right? Especially on a black background. /daydream

I don't think we've seen the figure draped and blindfolded in white. That one is new IMO...
Enjoy the images, I hope that some cards are coming soon :)...

Yeh, saw them. Totally kickass, if you ask me. I hope that I'll be able to get them here in Czech Republic.
