Hideous End1BB
Instant
Destroy target nonblack creature. That creature’s controller loses 2 life.
Artist: Zoltan Boros & Gabor Szikszai
Whiplash Trap3UU
Instant — Trap
If an opponent had 2 or more creatures enter the battlefield under his or her control this turn, you may pay U rather than Whiplash Trap’s casting cost.
Return two target creatures to their owner's hand.
Artist: Zoltan Boros & Gabor Szikszai
New type - Trap. This must indicate an alternate casting cost.
So - Kicker is back! The Kor return! Hideous End is an awesome removal spell! Whiplash Trap seems fantastic in limited. Discuss!
Whiplash Trap3UU
Instant — Trap
If an opponent had 2 or more creatures enter the battlefield under his or her control this turn, you may pay {U} rather than Whiplash Trap’s casting cost.
Return two target creatures from play to owner’s hand.
Battlefield? I suspect it's just a mistype, not a fake, but it's worth noting. Also, could you put some indication that these are all common on the cards themselves?
I wonder if Kicker was the first blank in the "___ without ___" quote from Maro. I doubt it.
I suspect Beast Hunt is terrible, but it hints STRONGLY at Delve.
Gotta love the text on the cleric ,"When~ enters the battlefield, if it was kicked..." lol put kicker on a goblin with that text with a goblin type ability and it will be my favorite card for life(besides rumbling slum)

Have we really gotten confirmed cards this early...or is it...
A Trap?
Nope, but GenCon is when all companies do some spoiling/previewing for major fall releases, though MTG has never really had any major reveals outside of art (and card names in RAV's case). These four are the preview cards included in PCH, so it's pretty understandable that we'd see them at GenCon. Nice to see Kicker and Trap, both are evokitive!
Now I want to know what the rares are in the PCH set to see if I want to buy them!
Kor Sanctifiers2W

Kicker W

2/3
Artist: Dan Scott
Just because it says "if it was kicked" does not mean that will be the text on the card. He might have just been furiously copying down the information on the cards, to try to get all the information down quickly.
Anyway, I'm exited for Kicker to come back, and, if used correctly, Trap might turn out cool.
I can see a burn spell now
~ 3RR
Instant - Trap
If you dealt 5 or more damage to your opponent this turn, ~ costs R instead.
Deal 4 damage to target creature or player.

QFT LOL-- I'm not into the whole "Magic's turning into YGO" thing just because of the Mythic rarity or a couple cards, but this is definitely YGO. If these are real, it's kind of sad actually.
EDIT:
Hey, if they make Vintage a more relevant format, we can play decks with mostly 1-0fs. Nice!
I can confirm that Kor Sanctifiers is in the Planechase Strike Force deck, while Beast Hunt is in the Planechase Elemental Thunder deck. And they are both commons.
I can't wait to see how many times Admiral Akbar is quoted at the pre-release. It will be awesome!
ARGH so mad for not thinking that! However the actually card itself is not to bad its a potential fog for a turn or at least a *** saver type.

While interesting, I have to admit that if these are the Planechase preview cards, I'm not overwhelmed.
I wasn't expecting said preview cards to be chase mythics or anything, but while intriguing, they aren't overly attention grabbing.
Perhaps that was intentional in order to avoid having Planechase snagged up too quickly by people lusting for playsets like they contained Honour of the Pure or something? Enough to whet our appetites, but not enough to harm the availability of what is a casual/multiplayer 'set'.

Remeber when they used to give us commons as preview cards, to give us an example of what's to come? It was usually our first real glimpse into what the set's mechanics were about. Consider this the same thing. Besides, PCH is only 3 weeks away... a little too early to be giving us rares, no matter how bad they might be.
