With the new update on Magic Online, there are a couple of new arts that I haven't seen before, and can't identify with any particular card. I figure that I'll share with you, and maybe we can figure them out together.
Well we can rule out either one of these being in Mirrodin.
The catperson one looks like it takes place in Naya. Please note the stonework with vines on it along with the tropical type leafs behind him, both of which are consistant with the art associated with the Cloud Kingdom of Naya. If I had to guess, that one is probally an unused art from the Alara block.
The soldier is abit harder to place. I don't remember snow in Bant, but I could be misremembering. Just looking at that art reminds me of some of the art from Ice Age/Alliances but I doubt that art is that old. If I had to guess, perhaps an Coldsnap unused art.
Theres a few others that came with this update that I don't recognize. The first two look old and I can't figure out what they are. The third I believe is the full art specter for game day.
The soldier I have absolutely no idea. Its file number placed it right next to War Priest of Thune. Then again, the art files are predominantly random, so read into that what you will.
The cat art was directly after the FNM promo arts for Krosan Grip and Anathamancer, so to say that this could be FNM Qasali Pridemage, wouldn't be unreasonable.
Also, there are the full arts for Game Day promos, I should attach them.

the second one reminds me of Elvish Guidance but i don't know why there would be a second art for that
that last one definitely could be the full art promo for Liliana's Specter
The soldier is definitely Elite Vanguard and that's definitely Lilliana's Spectre which makes me think they're all M10 cards. So I would say that's Ajani's Pridemate but I would be pretty happy if it was a Qasali Pridemage FNM card. Also I think the elf might be Sylvan Ranger if these are all M10 cards. I'm not sure about the last one possibly Berserkers of Blood Ridge.
I've PMed Niabock to try to determine what those arts are, as I haven't seen them, and since finding them in a file of over 10000 arts is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack, I want the actual file names.
As far as the others I've posted, there's no dispute what they are. They're the Mitotic Slime and Liliana's Spectre promos for game day. They're full art, which means there's nothing else they can be.
I guess I'm just assuming they are the old specter and slime, maybe unreleased promo art? If they are the new ones I'm wondering why they would even be on MTGO already ... ?

No, they name token art (as well as planeswalker and avatar art) different in the mtgo pics folder.
All you have to do is sort the folder by date modified and you can easily see what they update after each downtime. They don't usually update art unless it is going to be used soon, so its strange to get promo art for cards we don't even have in paper yet.
If we don't have the full art for Voidslime yet, that's it. And I'm thinking Liliana's Specter, too. I thought we had already seen the art for it? But I can't find it.
The slime art has already been spoiled as the full art for Mitotic Slime for top 8ers on gameday. The Specter art is likely Liliana's Specter as that is the participation card.
I hate to sound like a douche when I say this, but most of the art here isnt quite up to snuff. Recent Magic art has been very good, even the arts that people dont like. The soldier, elf, and even the nacatl arent very good. The nacatl I could believe as alt art, but the soldier and elf are really bad, even for that.
Again, I might be way off base, but those two arts just dont seem good enough.

He doesn't look so wild to me. Probably Ajani's Pridemate.

man, it's a good card, but i wish they would have put it out a few months ago :/

I'm not sure which camp I'm in...I think the latter.
Several of those arts seem very..unpolished or something, to me. The only ones I really like are the Lion guy & the Specter. And those are rather meh.

Cool find though..

Has any old sets been released on Magic Online recently? New token art is commisioned for sets that don't have token cards for them.
It could also be Vanguard art.
Highly unlikely as nacatl is female and the artwork in question is clearly a male.
