I found this on the mothership, and I was intrigued to the point that I'd like to share with all of you and gather your thoughts. I understand that there isn't too much substantial in it, but supposing its any indication of the actual Duels of the Planeswalkers, I'm thrilled to see two things: sealed play and a new character (planeswalker? Legends?) named Ramaz.
Certainly interesting information if true. It also seems to imply (Delver and Angry Mob being mentioned in titles) that we might see some flip cards. It seems they don't mind DOTP tying in to non-standard sets. I am surprised to see Sealed being an option. I hope it is though... I need to get better at crafting sealed decks.
Should this be moved to the regular rumor mill? This seems more substantials than just speculation.
It looks like sealed will be the variant this year. That should be fun (although I was hoping for Commander, letting you use card from previous year's editions).
Slivers are fun. I'm assuming it will be another 5 color deck. I figure Slivers will be in an expansion the next time we see them, but they certainly would be a bit of nostalgia for M14. D13 was very tied to M13, so we can speculate away.
A digital MTG game is perfect for DFCs, so glad to see it looks like we are going to get to play with them.
By this time last year I think we already had DotP2013 info, so I'm guesing PAX will give us more details.
One last thing are any of the images "new" I've not been a magic player for long but most look recent, however the "Super Sleuth" art (and the sliver ones) I've never seen so could this ["Super Sleuth" art] be a glimpses of a future card?
Well that's my guesses so happy thinking
Super Sleuth is Brilliant Ultimatum, the slivers one is Hivestone. Looks like it might have some interesting decks this time around, based on the achievements alone.
It makes sense for the game to implement some sort of Sealed deck play. DoTP is the gateway for new players to enter the game. The tournaments that WoTC want new players to attend are Pre-releases. I can see it being quite daunting for a new player who has only played DoTP to show up to an event and be like "the game isn't telling me what cards I can have in my deck, I don't know what I'm doing!!!!!" and having a bad experience. At least having some experience in opening a sealed pool and building a deck takes a lot of that "omgwtf" feeling away, because you'll have done it before.
As someone who judges more pre-releases than plays in them, it makes my life a little easier too. Having to explain how sealed works at every single pre-release gets a little boring for the people who know what they're doing.
Which could suggest Sarkhan Vol in M14? However 2 red walkers is very unlikely.
we had Chandra and Nicol Bolas in M13, so if they repeat the pattern of one gold PW it could be possible

It could be, but Nicol Bolas is one of the main villains/antagonists in the Magic multiverse, unlike Sarkhan Vol. The only reason they printed Nicol Bolas is because he's such a big character in the stories.
That, and you know what they say. If Wizards started shipping $100 bills in boosters tomorrow, people would scream and cry and whine that they were folded the wrong way.
I think that we found out about Talrand in the same way last year. Ramaz will be almost surely a walker or a legend in M14.
But what about Kiora Atuna and Ral Zarek? Those 2 were characters in Duels of the Planeswalkers and we're only now seeing some form of Ral Zarek 2 years later...

Just as a disclaimer: we've already established in the past that NOTHING in DoTP indicates anything for the paper game. They have included new border and art for various cards, like the Medallion cycle, Moxes and other cool stuff we have to see come to paper.
Except when it's actual new cards. I remember Rhox Faithmender being spoiled this way in a DotP 2013 demo.

This is not true. The challengers in DotP2013 were made to show up in M13 as legends. Also we got our first look at new exalted guys, which spoiled the returning mechanic.

Innistrad spoilers say Hi.
Though yes, you are correct in the spirit of what you've said, just because it's in DotP doesn't mean it's in M14.
Having new art is a pretty good indication though, unless the card is way too good to reprint into standard.
If memory serves, Quicksilver Amulet was teased this way.
"Chant of Mul Daya"=Nissa Revane? Is Nissa going to replace Garruk in M14.
On the Sarkhan Vol thing, we got new art for him at PTGTC. Since Chandra is in M14, I would have to guess that Sarkhan Vol is either going to just be an opponent, or he will be one of the planeswalkers in "Friends" block.

What do you think?
Not that I doubt you about where you found it, but I do have doubts. Where exactly did you find this on the mothership?
Well, after all this talk about cards being in DotP not meaning anything for future sets, it looks like we got our first M14 spoiler!
The game will apparently be playable at PAX East and it was through DotP 2013's demo that we got a bunch of M13 spoilers, so who knows! It still feels a bit early to get M14 spoilers, though.
Ramaz being a potential enemy of Chandra has no bearing on his redness.
Jace and Tezzeret hate each other, and they're both centered in blue.
I personally think it would be interested if he(?) was red-based as to highlight the differences between two characters in the same color.
What do you think?

Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)

EDIT: The last one is Bone Saw

Sarkhan? Niv-Mizzet? Ral?

The Dracomancer means only and exactly Sarkhan. He'll be an opponent in the game, maybe, but that doesn't mean he's getting a card in M14.
