No, the PW guide it specifies that there are two PWs that are native and thats Ajani and Tezzeret. Also the main intent of the thread was fulfilled so......yeah..........
WRONG! the 2 that are native are ajani and sarkhan vol.
The Fiends and Behemoths page on the Shards of Alara minisite seems to say that it is an uncontrollable creature from Esper, which explains how it could come from Esper without being an artifact creature.
However, it has the unearth mechanic which is supposed to be a Grixis mechanic. Furthermore, the word Kederekt is in its name, which is also in the name of Kederekt Creeper, which is clearly a Grixis card.
Was this card created to show a link between the two worlds? or was it simply a mistake made when the card was matched to a concepted creature?

A: From Doug Beyer, Magic Creative Team:
Leviathans lurk in the seas of both Esper and Grixis. Kederekt is a necropolis in Grixis that stands—or rather, slowly sinks, its undead-afflicted manor houses tilting at odd angles in the silt—next to a vast, greasy sea. And unearth is a Grixis mechanic. So Kederekt Leviathan is definitely a Grixis creature, a terror of the deep sometimes summoned and even animated by the mad necromancers of the plane. But there are also leviathans slithering through the seas of Esper, their broad plates of ship's-hull-like armor envied by etherium-hungry Esperites. There's no Esper leviathan card in the set, however, so that page of the minisite illustrates leviathans with a picture of a Grixis creature. The shards are completely separate; it's not intended to represent a link between the worlds.
