Sneaky Homonculus reprint/variant?

Wizards ate my account that needed no sig, so I guess I need one now.

That's not a bad guess. He certainly looks like a Sneaky Homunculus .

The boot one could be a Disintegrate variant.

Clever deduction Watson! Maybe you can explain why Supergirl is trying to kill me.

Here goes me and my black-white, black-blue and black-red bias:

1: Spoiler: Show
That is an Orzhov Basilika Guard. 
Dimir infiltrator. Perhaps monoblue, run of the mill "1/2 draw on combat damage" with unblockable and possibly even hexproof.
Seing that he carries an Orzhov document -- it may mill one, draw one.
Manacost 2UU or 4U. 
Alternatively, it is a sorcery "3U: Target creature becomes unblockable this turn. Whenever that creature deals combat damage to a player this turn, draw a card."
or even:
"2UU: Draw a card. Cipher"


2: Spoiler: Show
Does not look red at all. At least not like a red spell. Does not look black and white. Does not look green nor blue. Red and white it is. That creature is definitely exiled from taking damage. It's not a large creature, and it's definitely instant or out of combat. Sooo: Run of the mill "red and white damage exiles target creature that dealt damage". It looks like they are heading AWAY from a battle that has occured, an hour ago, so it may be a revenge spell. Or even revenge enchantment, possibly a countdown enchantment that is triggered at the end of turn or at the start of an upkeep. "Spontaneous combustion".


4: Boros 2/2, Batallion: 2 damage to target creature.
Alternatively, "Target creature gains +4/+0 and trample. Sacrifice that creature at end of combat."

6: Simic with swampwalk. But could be swamp and forestwalk combined -- or even swamp, forest and islandwalk.

7: Extort artifact angel with deathtouch and defender?
Extort artifact that makes opponents lose life whenever a creature dies?
Here's to hoping it's a rare Orzhov enchantment in white and black that causes the target to become pacifistic, unable to activate abilites AND drains it's controller for life with extort.
2WB: Enchanted creature can't attack or block, and it's activated abilities cannot be activated. Extort.
4: Artifact -- Extort, 2WB: ~Cardname becomes a 2/4 angel with deathtouch, defender and lifelink until end of turn.

8: Awww... Poor thing! Cry
I can't even imagine who would do such a thing or why it's out there...
Disarm?... I just can't think of anything but wanting to give that little guy his spear back and putting him on top of a doorway.

9: An unfair fight in red? Possibly one fight each of your end of turns.

10: I'm bored now, and this looks very strange.
It does not appear to target any creatures or lands directly.

11: Boros 4/4 defender giant with first strike??

12: Very peculiar art. Both "creatures" are "human"-ish.
The woman is sitting NEXT to a person, extracting something from his mind.
A discard 1 Cipher sorcery for 3UB??
 
13: Search your library for a creature with evolve??

14: Orzhov wrath: XWB: Destroy each creature with toughness equal to or less than X.

15: Orzhov Zombie Legend that makes extort explode.

12 looks vaguely like the Syncopate spellcaster, no?

EDIT: I mean, look at those shoulder pads? It's like an Azorius powersuit a la '90s.
Limited Guidelines:

5.0: I will take this card no matter what: Pack Rat
4.5: Bomb and/or splashable creature or removal: Aetherling
4.0: Excellent first pick first pack, will sway me into same colors: Advent of the Wurm
3.5: Excellent first pack pick two, will confirm colors or possibly sway into second color. Gaze of Granite
3.0: Good in-color addition, or splashable removal/creature: Ascended Lawmage
2.5: Solid pick in-color: Bronzebeak Moa
2.0: Creatures 10-16; removal 6-7. Haazda Snare Squad
1.5: My 23rd or 22nd card, depending on removal. Wake the Reflections )
1.0: 23rd card if I don't maindeck an additional land: Murmuring Phantasm
0.5: This card will sometimes be sideboarded in: Uncovered Clues
0.0: I will shred this card for counters: Possibility Storm

What is that Knight riding in the last picture? If its a horse it is one of the ugliest horses I have ever seen. It looks bloated, its head is HUGE, and its ears are just wrong. It's kind of funny because its dressed up so nice, but the animal itself looks ridiculous.

I disagree.  I'm not a painter or a drawer, so I don't know what the exact term is, but for lack of a better one, the "proportions" are off.  His fingers are pointing straight down and the lightning is shooting straight down (you can see the middle bolt pass over his palm).  Now I can get behind the concept of him torching buildings from afar, but the lightning should angle towards them, shouldn't it?  That's like the old Kids In the Hall sketch with the weird guy pretending to squish peoples' heads from across the room or street with his thumb and index finger.  Is there something I don't get about art?  Or dimensions?

I the fact that the perspective is off makes it one of the more interesting pieces of art here.

Hoping either 2 or 10 are Shock or some 1CMC instant burn spell. Other than that, good art. 
Standard Pauper!
