From our blog section and Nise Tsaruta Mentor, who has contributed similarly in the past, His attempt at a translation:

Aven Mimic
Creature - Bird Wizard (R)
Flying
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a Wing counter on target creature [who may need to satify other conditions].| Each creature with a wing counter on it is 3/1 and has flying.
3/1
2/145

Notes: One needs to know if there is a line break on this card (where I have put a bar, '|'). The mechanical possibilities are basically whether this turns off if the Wizard leaves play.

Translator request: What is the subject of the last sentence of this card? What are any of the Determiners/articles (words like 'the', 'this', and 'a') used in this sentence?

Thought Bleeding (Exsanguination)
sorcery (R)
Choose target player. Name a nonland card. That player reveals his or her hand. ~this~ deals 3 damage for each card [with that name] in that player's hand to that player. Remove cards with that name from that player's graveyard, hand and library, then shuffle the library.
47?/145

Sage of the Anima
Creature - Elf Wizard (R)
If you would draw a card, reveal the top three cards of your library instead. Put all creature cards revealed this way into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library [in any order].
3/4
103/145

Ether-caste Knight
Artifact Creature - Human Knight (C)
Exalted
1/3
3/145

Tar Shards
Instant (U)
'Double Cast'
~this~ deals 4 damage to target creature.
When you play this spell, reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a nonland card with lesser converted mana cost than this spell. You may play that card without paying its mana cost. Then put all revealed cards still in your library on the bottom of your library at random order.
34/145

Keyword: 続唱 / 'Double Cast'

"[When you play this], Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a nonland card with lesser converted mana cost than this spell. You may play that card without paying its mana cost. Then put all revealed cards still in your library on the bottom of your library [at random / in any order / --].Notes: This could trigger on playing the spell, or it could be a keyword action you simply enact like scry.

Translator request: Confirming whether this is a triggered ability seems most relevant. Is there a trigger term here? A 'when'?
Also, "at random"??? I think this was just a misidentification of the phrase "any order" to be one for taking any order without care, but who knows.

Pale Priest-Spider
Creature - Spider (C)
Reach
Forestcycling
Plainscycling
4/5
74/145

Twinclaw of Marisi
Creature - Cat warrior (U)
Double strike

As always, stay on-topic. If you don't have something worthwhile to contribute, it'd be best not to post. The RM mods aren't being as lenient this season and I'm chipping in as well. So minimize the spam, y'all.

Accurate stabs at translations here would be welcome, as would be cleaner wording or any sort of clarification you may be able to provide.

Original text spoilered, translation attempts replaced with the most detailed summaries (thanks Horseshoe_Hermit and stormcloud17 for the texts and names)

Golden Hybrids! Wow!
Looks like the creature does different things based on what colors were spent to play it.

The Pro-Blue knight confuses me. Why would they have protection from their common ally?

[overkill222]

Golden hybrids, wow that's a huge reveal. No one really expected with seriousness the return of this just 3 sets later.

Makes the most sense, however, as this is where you'd do gold hybrid-- an all gold set.

[djosh]

Whats with the fake thing at the top, does that mean these are fake?? The way it says it it sounds like it, but if they aren't (which I'm not saying they are, the fake thing is just throwing me off) these are pretty awesome. Gold hybrid the way they are doing it makes it interesting at least.

[gilrad]

Holy crap, that Alara Reborn guy (wubrg hybrid) is NUTS! I think he's a bigger deal than Progenitus. If there is ever a guy to run, I think it would be him!

[missingno]

No hybrids, please. I wish this isn't real—I'm getting sick of hybrid.

[Jedcaj]

Nevermind. The translation at the top is better.

Nise has added cards from Japanese mags to his blog for the past several sets now (as far back as Lorwyn). Usually included is some random, obtuse reference to fakes that never makes sense. I've always attributed it to his lack of good English skills. The cards he has posted in the past have always been real.

[Quazifuji]

The main problem with the 5-color hybrid guy is that it's pretty confusing to tell what you can actually pay to play him. I'm hoping there's a lot more stuff like the guy than just different combinations of hybrid, not because it's not cool, but just because it's confusing.

Doublecast does sound cool. Here's a shot at a formal wording:

Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a nonland card with converted mana cost less than (or equal to?) this card's converted mana cost. You may play that card without paying its mana cost.

Seems a bit wordy, might have shorter reminder text, but it's a fun concept. Sounds fairly limited in design space, though, I'd only expect it to be on a cycle or two.

[djosh]

Ok then, these seem pretty amazing then. A card that has 2 different basic land cyclers. Double cast seems kinda awesome also, I wonder if you can play a creature off of that if thats what it does exactly. Everything looks interesting, can't wait to get a full translation.

[Erik26]

I hope it's fake. We had enough hybrid in the Shadowmoor block. The "Double Cast" thing looks like a strange ability as well.

[gcmy]

That mythic avatar is crazy if its real ! I would love running it in my 5cc deck. Its basically, UWGRB for a 10/10, shroud, first strike, trample, lifelink, fear creature. A bit too unbelievable seeing that getting that 5 mana is so easy. If any deck just runs spot removal with no mass removal or counterspells..I think its win for sure..Swing, you lose 10, I gain 10 and you need a 20/20 power and toughness worth of blockers to kill it!

[onlainari]

The hybrid gold cat warrior is pretty clever.

For all the fake cards I've seen and the early spoiled cards that people called fake, that were not fake, I believe these don't look to be fake.

[Solmancer]

I never really liked the idea of "gold hybrid", mostly because it makes me brain automatically try to come up with every possible combination of mana and only THEN decide if I'm able to pay for one of them. The WUBRG hybrid avatar is my main point. Think of trying to play that in Limited, it's going to take a bit of time just to decide if you CAN on a given turn or not.

[djosh]

Actually you only need an 10/11 black or artifact creature. Cause there are so many of those in standard lol.
