Highly unlikely I know, but could pic 4 be a reprint of Mine Bearer ?

there's a chance. just by the artwork alone on this card reminds me of reckless brute , the picture and the flavor text as well

Surprised I'm the first one to point out... that one with a few humans and a giant that everybody's calling "Boros" at?

Has the Boros ever used that symbol emblazoned somewhere on every single figure there? The star-like symbol on the giant's shoulders, his wrecking ball, his armor, the troops' armor... etc... No sign of a single "Fist" icon that has always been the Boros symbol.

The prevalence of the markings suggest some importance, so might I hazard a Wild Guess and its an example of the so-called "Gateless", anti-guild rebels?

In addition, Picture number 12 with the woman over the dead/dying man looked more Orzhov to me due to the colorings and lack of Dimir-like malformations or discolorations or shadows or longer robes. Besides, plenty of jewelry, thus again leading me to think Orzhov. In flavor it could be claiming the soul of a dead person, or consuming it for longevity.

Finally, Picture 4 with the Boros and grenades.... well... again, there's no Boros symbology per se, save the flame markings on the wrist....but yeah, I'd pin her on Boros. It doesn't seem nearly as out-of-place for the guild as a giant with a wrecking ball around kinda awkward soldiers all of them sharing some symbol I don't recall on their armor, weapons and even tattooed.

The Boros symbol is on her helmet.

Did not see any posting about this yet, so I thought I would create it. Today's Magic Arcana revealed several art pieces stating that they were card arts from gatecrash. musing with pics in spoilers bubbles 

Picture 1. Appears to be a Dimir agent slipping by or stealing something from an Orzhov guard. Maybe art for an Dimir unblockable spell?
 Spoiler: Show

Picture 2,  A smoking pair of boots, while two humans look on with surprise. Appears to be a burn spell directed at a creature and is an instant due to the look of surprise on the two humans.
 Spoiler: Show

Picture 3. Art for Viashino Shanktail . Link to ICD
Spoiler: Show

Picture 4. A Boros human running screaming with a grenades in his hands(grenades because there are two more of the same items on a bandoleer). Could be a creature with Battalion, maybe haste.    
Spoiler: Show

Picture 5. Art for Clan Defiance Link to ICD
Spoiler: Show

Picture 6. Two merfolk, I think this is incorect, but looks like they are in a forest.  Want to say Simic creature card.
Spoiler: Show

Picture 7.  Focus is a statue of an angel with a spear in a chared courtyard. Bones and ash are all around her, while three robed figures look on. Could be an enchantment, burn spell, or artifact.
Spoiler: Show

Picture 8. Focus is the little guy from Doorkeeper out for a walk, looking worried about being stepped upon. U maybe U/B card, could be creature or spell.
Spoiler: Show

Picture 9. Image is of a Azorius or Orzhov human fighting a Rakdos demon. Probably a spell since one of these guilds are not in set.
Spoiler: Show

Picture 10. Ral Zerek in foreground with right hand appearing to release lighting on to three locations in the background. I believe its a burn spell with up to three targets.
Spoiler: Show

Picture 11.  Several Boros human soldiers with an ogre with a LARGE ball on a chain behind them, mood seems to be the moment before a charge. Think this is a creature card.    
Spoiler: Show

Picture 12. Focus is a Dimir human female *Ahem* atop of a human male with three spikes in his forehead. Sadly he does NOT seem enjoy this position, as some sort of energy is moving from the spikes to the female's mouth. Positive this is a discard card, would enjoy this being a creature though.
Spoiler: Show

Picture 13. Simic scientist taking notes about a humanoid inside of a incubator. Unsure about this one.
Spoiler: Show

Picture 14. This is the full art for the gameday background. focus is a black sphere eclipsing the sun, with black/red conduits touching and burning/dissolving humans who are running away. maybe a exile or burn spell or enchantment. 
Spoiler: Show

Picture 15. image is an Orzhov knight on a horse, yeah, you know that one. Surely a creature card  
Spoiler: Show

1. unblockable creature, steal spell? UB
2. Burn, destroy, instant. RR
4. not a creature, because the focus is more on the action than on the person itself, so I'm guessing maybe it's a sorcery or an enchant target cretaure thing. WR
5. oh hi clan defiance
6. the speed and the elusiveness of this picture makes me feel like this is an "target creature becomes unblockable until end of turn" card U/UG
7. Artifact "Spear of the Fallen Angel", give first strike/double strike and or intimidate (I mean it IS a flaming spear) colourless
8. d'awwwwwwwww. could be a 1 drop evasive creature that can't block U
9. looks like someone recruited a gruul into the army. Best case scenerio 5/3 for 3R; worst case scenerio, terrus wurm .
10. Dimir or Orzhov? Looks very like Teysa, but there is water symbolism and she looks like she's sucking his memories out of his head, also she's attacking her colleague,; an incubus maybe. Creature: lifelink, evasion, vampire Spell: lifesteal, destruction, milling. probably an Orzhov whose a Dimir agent, B
11. Simic's Ludevic's test subject ? 
12. Why is it that some people are burning and some aren't? Selective board wipe, probably. Also Orzhov symbolism. WB
13. Orzhov, Creature. I bet he has Horsemanship. (trololo)
