I love how the flavor of the set mechanics are being hinted at before the spoiling of actual mechanics.

Felt more like an ad than an article.
Although, a pretty good ad.

I hope the card with that guy with the eyepatch fits well in my pirate deck =) Also, the art about destroying the church and "Statues of the beloved archangel are found toppled, not by the random attacks of rampaging werewolves, but by despondent humans." is a lot like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iconoclasm which is pretty fitting for the setting. Awesome flavor all around, here's hoping for as little lamers like Balefire Dragon  as possible.

Now that I re-read it, it seems that "His identity is secret now, but we will learn what role he has to play in the fate of Innistrad very soon." means "Up to now, nobody in Innistrad knows about him or what he has to do with anything", not "The audience doesn't know this planeswalker will be in Dark Ascension."

they'll pull a marvelous land of oz and reveal that sorin is actualy avacyn who had been transformed into a man by an evil power (griselbrand?), and once that evil power is defeated (by liliana?) the spell will wear off and sorin will become avacyn again.

Pretty sure we have our art for Faithless Looting in the seventh image down (Gabor Szikszai).

I for one think that a Black/White Sorin would be absolutely amazing... maybe Solar flare might work so i can stop kidding myself as an Aggro player and play some type of control

"Where do you turn when the horrors of your waking life surpass your worst nightmares? How do you pray when you're not sure the angels have even been listening? What do you do when the last sanctuary is breached, the last holy symbol loses its shine, and the last candle flickers out?" I grab my Phoenixes and Snapcasters, load up on burn and counters, and BEAT THE FLARG out of the Zombie Werewolves!

Did anyone else get really excited by the references to the unearth-like mechanic that MaRo implied was in this set?
"Now even the bonds of death no longer hold. Apparently slain werewolves have begun to stagger back to their feet, their hunger only renewed by their seeming destruction. Geists return after being exorcised by the clerics' most powerful banishment spells. Vampires laugh off stakes and fire, rising in spite of every trick and country secret known to kill them."
There's no way that Kev Walker zombie doesn't have this mechanic.
