On the Phyrexian minisite, around the border of phyrexian and mirran Mountains, we have here a wallpaper showing an image of what is allegedly Urabrask, the Hidden, or the red Praetor.
I figure this is pertinent information so I am putting it up.

There is more stuff and I will input that info in a sec.
EDIT: Elesh Norn is female, as evidenced by mention from the minisite. By the plains, close to the border between Mirran and Phyrexian (on the phyrexian side of the grass), we have Chancellor of the Annex.
The three new arts. Chancellor is ☺☺☺☺ing creepy and looks incomplete. They really love you at Wizards don't they Smokestack. These are only the iPhone wallpapers as the other ones are too big to attach.
Urabrask, the Hidden Wallpaper? I thought that Phyrexians were trying for imposing names. Maybe it sounds more intimating in the native Phyrexian language.
She does look really creepy, and I like the Red Myr thing, it's face looks has simplar design elements to the Bringers. Does the persence of both Mirran and Phyrexian images confirm that Action will have both factions regardless of whoever wins, or do we have other confirmation for or against that?
Man, I hope not. That would be amazingly disappointing.
Depends on the numbers involved, the actual colors, the CMC, and instant\sorcery status. It could be extremely good in certain formats if they make just the right kind of mistake.
They won't. But they might. Someday.

Besides the Wallpapers the text is interesting. Looks like the Phyrexians will fight each other.
"Elesh Norn's church is a mockery of all faiths. She is like a child who has watched her elders from the other room at an important meeting. She sees the ritual but knows not the intent. And like a child, she scrambles to her room and replicates what she saw with her toys, pretending to be like an elder in a meeting, though she's only going through the motions.
"Her pretext of faith as justification for her actions is a flimsy delusion continued only by her misunderstanding of life and Phyrexia's true purpose. Take a look at her angels, vicious and effective soldiers I shall admit, but unnecessary in form and function.
"The angel was a messenger to the heavens, bestowing grace and mercy to believers. Even in the depths I know this. In Elesh's fantasy to be a true church she must also have angels, even if they no longer bestow grace and mercy. They have the shape of the messenger, though they have nothing to say. Her fractured religion serves only as demoralizing propaganda to willingly covert a few and expends precious resources modifying the forms of her minions to fit her religious theme.
"My concern is not anything to take with heavy hearts, brother, for we both know when the resistance falls under my shadow and your flames, her precious dream of being a beautiful goddess will shatter like her porcelain skin." – Sheoldred, to Urabrask
Oh my! That is a great piece of background! I already LOVE the Praetors!

The Father of Machines will free these creatures from the shackles of their imperfect flesh. All glory to Phyrexia!
Do you think the Praetor's will be allied depending on their part in the colour pie?
For an example, Sheoldred (black Praetor) being allied with the red and the blue one, while oppossing the white and the green Praetors?
It's an interesting twist.
They won't be strictly allied per say, as they all will be competing for top spot. But they will form alliances of convenience and they will be with their allied colors as they will share some aims. I think the best way to think of them woul be like the Forsaken from the Wheel of Time series. Everyone is in it for themselves and will back stab each other at the first opportunity unless they are being tightly controlled by a higher power at the time. Any real co-operation will be forced out of them by the Father of the Machines.
I apologize for the length (I tend to need to follow my train of thought to the end before proceeding to the next, resulting in overly long posts, papers, and monologues in conversations) and for the copious amount of parentheses.
ohoho these are pretty sweet hope they go on cool cards or products.

The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.
I invision a future where one is not mighty when he can silence a crowd with brutality,
but when he leaves them speechless with wisdom.

Red Myrs are pretty cool, but we're too close up to see what's going on.
Red Seething Song-type spell is pretty awesome as well.
Akuma will wreck you.
The Mothership reveals the name as 'Geosurge'
Chancellor of the Annex looks like a fallen angel to me
And what Annex is this?
The presence of Urabrask seems to confirm that the five praetors each will have a legendary card in the set
This would be AWESOME with Koth if true!
New Phyrexia is going to be sweet, huh?

That's no myr, that's
a space stationUrabrask, the Hidden.Even though Phyrexia wins, they will still integrate/utilize "Mirrodin Pure" somehow for the surviving Mirrans.
Oh my! That is a great piece of background! I already LOVE the Praetors!

@PrinceTristan Maybe, there is something in the blurb for the chancellor thing that seems to show an allliance between the two...
My guess is that in the end, while there will be a few mirran cards, the praetors will turn on each other...
