The fourth Meet the Betrayers photo-like pic turned out to be Kentaro, the shambling pile of trees is Kodama of the Center Tree, and the long-discussed art of O-Kagachi truly belongs to Final Judgment.
And Tora is (surprisingly) a tiger...
Personally, I like the shoals, genjus, the new pics for "quash" cycle, and except Overblaze (I do not like Spencer much) almost all the remaining cards.
Three Tragedies reminds me of Mutilate .
Ishi-Ishi, Lover of goats...no comment:grin2:

As usual, the John Avon cards (God's Eye, Stream of Consciousness) look awesome. My favorite art has to be Floodbringer and Ishi-Ishi.
I didn't like the art of the two snake legends though, they look like drag queens to me. What's with the red and purple hair?
Walker of Secret Ways! Pretty Pretty Pretty Ninja Girl. Mmmmmmm. Ninja Girls. Ink-eyes is right up there too. Darn female ninjas! Distracting you with their pretty, pretty face and sexily curved bodies!

A part of me really likes Yukora the Prisoner. He's got a really cool villain feel to him, like Johan did. It's been a while since we've been able to see such stuff. As for Kentaro, the Smiling Cat.....Artistically the card is wonderfully done. In my opinion, it looks ass ugly. I don't think it fits well in the set. Overall, I think the art is very well done. Toils of Night and Day really is sweet, especially in foil. Let's see, I have to say that I'm very excited that a one Douglas Shuler has made a triumphant return to Magic. Now if only Anson Maddocks and NeNe Thomas would come back...........

The picture is not "wrong". In Rumor Mill, there is a link to a webpage about shuriken-do, explaining, that the "throwing star" association with the word "shuriken" is quite deformed by the popular movies. The page explains that shuriken are generally throwing blades, mostly looking as the ones depicted at the card. Only a small percentage of them are star-looking blades. However, the stars have been widely popularized, and therefore many people are crying : WTF? We expected a throwing star and these bad WotC artists fed us with some meh-looking blades. I have also thought that shuriken is only a star,but I have been convinced by the sheer facts I could read, that I am mistaken.
The pic is very nice, though.

My fave artwork. I really like Ninja of the Deep Hours and Walker of the Secret Ways. Ishi Ishi is also very cool, in a funny kind of way. I also like Horobi's Whisper very much. Floodbringer I'm also very fond of.
So what do you think about them?

Well, mister, I am not experienced in this area, therefore I cannot argue with you.
