The cyclops looks like it could be either the guild leader or a member of the Gruul Clan, and the dragon with flaming wings could go in the BR guild. The "horned forest creature" doesn't seem like it could fit in any new guilds coming up. It would have to be G.... and it doesn't fit with GR or UG, so I would have to attribute that to coldsnap..... is that Jaguar on the tree an image from another card or is that new. If it is new then I would have to say that would be coldsnap too, since it doesn't fit in the guilds. However, just because a card doesn't fit in a guild, doesn't mean it wont get printed. I guess it would depend on the storyline of Ice Age, in which i am unfamiliar. If there is a forest, and thus, animals in the forest like a jaguar or a unicornish creature.... then it would be coldsnap... but all in all of course, these are just assumptions so I could be wrong..... more then liekly am.... hehe
If we could bring those dates up a little clearer on the dragon it may help-
The Okapi/deer thing was painted in 2002- so probably comissioned before RAV block or csnap: Based on the fact that the Kitsune was painted in 2003.
Wish I could clean up the date on the dragon. Although to me it looks more like it was meant for Kami and Wizards opted for another art piece. (Don't get me wrong i'd love to see that thing on a card)
Interesting the date area is blank ( just 3 straight lines and 2 dots) on the Jaguar

this isn't one of them, this is bologna. Four day old, warm, low-grade bologna. The kind with little bits of animal bones and teeth in it. -Pure R_E brilliance
No way that dragon looks so Rakdos...but we don't have any info to support dragons in the Rakdos clan...in fact they are more likely to be in the Izzet.
Bleh I'm going to go with the flow and call it for coldsnap.

I don't know how that dragon couldn't be Rakdos, it looks incredibly evil and incredibly fiery. Black/Red. The gazelle looks kinda odd. It's definitely green. But, I don't know how you could think that is green/blue or green/red. Unless our theory was correct that dissension will include a card from each guild, in which case, this could be white. Who knows that could just be a green beast. But the forest looks so un-Ravnica that I'd say that's for another set.
that is one very sweet sweet sweet! looking dragon...If it is an MTG card, I hope I get a foily version :-D makes you wonder what it will bring to the MTG world if it does become/is an MTG card...
I agree with those who say that the deer is unused Onslaught block art (for some random beast), and the dragon is unused Kamigawa block art, possibly for Kokusho.
I think they'd both be perfect for Coldsnap. Thinking further, there's probably a lot of unused art that WotC can unload for Coldsnap.
Secondly, prehaps the dragon is actually Izzet's 'Niv-Dizzet' guild leader. I know it looks too dark, but think about Majhomi Djinn (that name is wrong, I don't know the real name).
Nonsense. First of all, the pictures are missing the buildings. Second - Niv-Mizzet is a dragon WIZARD, not some savage goat-eating fire-spitting flying lizard like this. He will look civilised a bit - at least like a Dragon Mage .

I agree with the thought that the black dragon is probably unused kokusho art. notice the setting sun or "evening star" in the background. that and he's a big evil black dragon. fits perfectly.
Me neither. It's just not a Japanese-style dragon and it doesn't have any 'kami objects', so I think we can rule it out as something from Kamigawa.

or maybe that's why it became a reject piece that didn't get used? after all, we are speculating that it was commisioned for kokusho and rejected.
and about kami objects, i can't see any of them in the actual art of kokusho anyway.
Daren Bader recently overhauled his website, and it has a few peices of never before seen art.

There is a horned forest creature that makes me think of an Okapi, and a black Dragon or Drake with flaming wings.
Theres no buildings, so what do you think? Snap-Crackle-Pop? Coldsnap?
Thanks to Craven at Epic Graphics!
deer thing: NOT THIS BLOCK
dragon: radkos
EDIT: the deer thing is not from this block, see the forest background
they're in his magic section...
The Okapi/deer thing was painted in 2002- so probably comissioned before RAV block or csnap: Based on the fact that the Kitsune was painted in 2003.

So very nice art non the less.
If you use Frank Karsten`s Online Tech to see how popular a specific deck is, I just made it twice as efficient. You`re welcome.
