I've had someone approach me with a pair of cards. While I didn't get much in the way of photographic evidence, the details all look good. I'm going to put some notes on each in brackets. I took a closer look at Putrefy (it would be near these) and I think it actually say 93.

I recall there being a post spoiling some names belonging to already known pieces of art on April 1st (probably already removed), and these were among them. Perhaps they were real after all? (Can't say I blame anyone for disbelieving anything posted on that day though)

I'm very excited by the Progenitor Mimic if it is true. I play Clone anyway in my Prime Speaker Bant, it wins Angel of Serenity wars and dominates with Thragtusk. I really wanted to play Cackling Counterpart, but the 1UU is too difficult. 4UG is much better.

Please let these be real. They look like so much fun.
I'm a little confused about Progenitor Mimic, though. Does it read like:
"~ Enters the battlefield as a copy of any creature on the battlefield. When ~ enters the battlefield put a token onto the battlefield that's a copy of a non-token creature"?
Wizards print good rares, players complain about cash grab. They print underwhelming rares, players complain that the cards suck. They spoil the best cards first, players complain about the insane prices of preorders. They spoil the meh cards first, players complain that this is the worst set ever.
So. I think I understand now.
As far as these forums are concerned, WotC can never do anything good because:
Card that is new and probably good = "pushed"
Card that is new and probably bad = "EDH/casual fodder"
Card that is a reprint = "lazy"
Card that is a better version of an older card = "power creep"
Card that is a weaker version of an older card = "worthless"
Please let these be real. They look like so much fun.
I'm a little confused about Progenitor Mimic, though. Does it read like:
"~ Enters the battlefield as a copy of any creature on the battlefield. When ~ enters the battlefield put a token onto the battlefield that's a copy of a non-token creature"?
If so, doesn't that seem a liiiittle ridiculous?
Yeah that seems kind of nutty and would definitely be a Mythic. A very good, mythic that will basically make two Angel of Serenity for 6 mana kind of ridiculous, and will for sure be a 5 of in any deck that runs u/g. I can see some janky growing ranks deck too with this and Cackling counterpart.

I've asked for clarification, so when I hear back, I'll let you know.
My guess would be that it's:
"You may have Progenitor Mimic enter the battlefield as a copy of any creature on the battlefield.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if Progenitor Mimic isn't a token, put two tokens that are copies of it onto the battlefield."
Again, that'd be my guess to what they meant.
So the new Mana Drain doesn't add the mana to your mana pool during your next main phase? Seems awkward.
Not sure. It's described as a UUGG mana drain. I don't know if it's mana drain's text exactly, or if it's "add it this turn" or what. I should have asked for clarification on that, but the mimic was occupying my mind at the time.

I think it's more like Clone with an intervining if clause "You may have this enter the battlefield as a copy of a creature...in addition it gains "When this enters the battlefield, if it is not a token, put a token onto the battlefield thats a copy of this". I think your Version could create infinite creatures.
Yeah, I'm not great at wording cards. I was just trying to understand if it clones a creature itself AND makes a token clone, basically giving you two clones for one cost. It seems pretty crazy if so.

Seems a safe bet, given the name and the art.
The question is how many, and when?
One per upkeep? Two upon EtB?
Either way, I wish I could already preorder them,
before they're up in the stratosphere...
I've wanted a card like this for a while-
I'm glad they're finally (hopefully) making it!
In retrospect, Mana Drain seems more than :simic:,
but I'll happily take either!

So, the clone can not only deal with another legendary creature but leave you with a second copy of it to use and abuse as you see fit? Sounds fun.
However, someone said Mana Drain so I haven't thought about much else since then...

In my dream, the world had suffered a terrible disaster. A black haze shut out the sun, and the darkness was alive with the moans and screams of wounded people. Suddenly, a small light glowed. A candle flickered into life, symbol of hope for millions. A single tiny candle, shining in the ugly dark. I laughed and blew it out.
Many thanks to HotP Studios. Special thanks to DNC for this great sig.
If my dream card is real, it probably makes a token on upkeep.
If it makes one or more tokens EtB, it's an infinite combo with Fiend Hunter,
and probably other cards (but not Restoration Angel because of the "non-angel" clause).
EDIT: nvm, that doesn't work quite how I first thought.

UUGG Mana Drain is probably a tad expensive if it gives colorless mana.
It probably wouldn't be playable if it cost more then 4 (event then it might not be that far fetched) but it really occupies a sweet spot at this mana cost.
It is very hard to imagine that Bant Control decks won't want four of this if it is confirmed. I mean, even with Cavern of Souls around, you can still "counter" Thragtusk and have 5 extra mana on your next turn to use for Sphinx's Revelation or cast multiple Tragtusk (you would have mana for at least 2 at this point) followed by a Restoration Angel on the same turn.
Things get even uglier when you counter Sphinx's Revelation with it. Good luck winning a control mirror after that...

The Clone seems really similar to the Cipher Clone spell, albeit much better. Still, interesting for a block to have two 6 CMC "get more than one Clone" effects.

I think you're right on Putrefy being 93. Too hard to be 100% certain at present, though.

The mimic seems cool too, depending on the wording.
A Mythic, I would guess?
As described, it sounds like a Biovisionary enabler.

Doubtful. Split cards have the naming convention ____ and ____ or ____//____ and are normally punny. Neither of these match the naming schemes.

Depending on how it turns out, I could be really annoyed that this isn't the Simic Champ.
If it's what I've always wanted (Clone+Followed Footsteps),
I'll be VERY annoyed I can't use it as a General.
