I don't think it confirms that Bolas will be in M13, but it's pretty convincing. Although they've never done multicolor in core sets before, I could see them putting in just 1 for a big, splashy, flavorful card like this.

Oh god with bolas already. I used to love him. Now I'm tired of him.
However, it would be cool if the M13 set had new reincarnations of the surviving Elder Dragons just as a nod to EDH, and to give us some more awesome dragon generals.
Because conservative bias is a far, far worse thing. Liberal bias doesn't, statistically speaking, make people stupid. Conservative bias (or at least Fox's version of it) does.

I always thought it would be awesome if Sarkhan turned out to be one of the other original five elder dragons reincarnated or something along those lines

Weirdness.
Could be for DotP- that game needs actual Planeswalkers *so* badly...
If he *is* in the core set, I kind of hope it's a new version.
I already have both of the old arts, and I'd love something new.
And as someone else mentioned, new versions of Arcades Sabboth and company would be cool.
Right?! Instead of Titans we get new versions of elder dragons. I realize it's a pipe dream, but one can hope.
The other interesting thing in the one promo shot of the bolas card with the others behind him, is that the others all appear to be mono-color. /sad face.
If the core set has multiple multicolor cards that leads me to believe two things: uncommon/common land/manarock cycle, and standard is headed for a multicolor plane this fall. I don't even need to say the name, but I will: ravnica?

I always thought that if they brought back Bolas, they would just reprint him. I think it's pretty hard to outdo the Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker.
Whether you like it or not, he's an important enough character that he needs to be kept around. Just like the Lorwyn Five, as a reprint or new version, it makes sense.
I'm going on record right now and stating that before the end of 2012 we will see foil dual lands in booster packs (The real, Alpha dual lands). You can quote me on that.
Yay! I doubt they'd use card shots for a card product unless it was in there, so good job to whomever found this.
I was counting and it looks like there are six card edges. Does this mean we're still getting 1 Planeswalker for each color, just with Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker maybe taking up a former Titan slot?

It's kinda too soon to be overjoyed about the whole "multicolour cards in core sets" thing because no one guaranteed that it's not a new version of Bolas, this time monocolour and logically replacing Sorin. Honestly, while I would love do see multicolour in core sets, I don't really want to see old Bolas himself - he's great in the casual gaming, sure, but he's a bit too much of "odd 1 of" in constructed decks for my taste (not to mention that without heavy multicolour environment it's pretty hard to fit him anywhere - 3c cards in core sets could hint at heavy multicolour environment in the following block, though, seeing as M13 should support its theme somehow).

The art from the picture on the first of the thread is the same art of Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker from Conflux. I'm 101% that they wouldn't use the same art for a new card.
Interesting to note that there are distinctly 5 cards shown behind it. So this would be in addition to the usual cycle of 5 planeswalkers, not replacing one.

I agree. It looks like they want to reprint a multicolored planeswalker along with the other mono colored ones. Fine by me!

I would speculate these are [mythic] slots. The 6th being bolas is very interesting. There's always room for adding new mythic cards, but I am with your line of thought that it's probably tians/PW'ers.
Also, bolas as the lone multi-color card would be weird. Could we get other goodies reprinted? Assuming this situation is legit, I'm tossing my hat out for Vindicate reprint -- as it's straightforward AND one of bolas's abilities.

I mean, hell, we're all on a forum for something that most people would describe as a "children's card game"...do what makes you happy. You are never too old to enjoy yourself.
Awesome! Though, I had kinda hoped for new PWs. This would imply that they're all reprints.
Doesn't imply that at all. M12 had a new Garruk, new Jace, new Chandra and a reprinted Sorin Markov and Gideon Jura. They've already shown a willingness to mix and match.
Interesting to note that there are distinctly 5 cards shown behind it. So this would be in addition to the usual cycle of 5 planeswalkers, not replacing one.
I don't see what this is referring to. Which pic is it that shows the cards? I'm looking on a mobile device, so maybe I just missed it.

the linked picture in the OP says "magic 2013" and "2013 core set", nothing about dotp. sounds like paper to me.
