Is anyone cabale of taking the booster box and zooming in on the packs which are slanted? I think they are different than those we have booster shots of.
edit: If there's one pack art for each color, then the middle one in that fan is either black or red, and it looks like an undead guy on a throne(Lord of the Undead?), so it's probably black.
that's not what happened at all. kamahl stabbed phage, akroma, and some old lady and they became korona. then korona got stabbed by her "prophets" and kamahl got drunk with a mutant centaur
The dragon on the box art is being ridden by something / somebody. That seems quite uncharacteristic of our Shivan buddy. I don't think it's him.
The left booster art is Rathi Dragon (Tempest art), the right booster is the new Mahomati Djinn art. I can't make out either of the ones in the middle (both in the box and in the three prominently displayed below it.)
Well, of the three booster packs, the one with the full picture(left) is rathi dragon, it is the same pic from the voting. Then the one on the very right is the new mahamotti djinn. Finally the booster in the middle is some kind of skeleton like figure sitting in what appears to be a very old throne. Personally it reminds me of diabolic tutor, but i cannot be sure.
I also agre that the middle booster pack in the booster box is the art from the 6thh edition elvish champion, and the picture on the back of the display seems to me like it is Abyssal Specter, and if not its definitely a specter of some sort. Most pictures with dragon like creatures and a dark figure riding them turn out to be specters, so that is my bet here.
Hopefully i will have a swelling of pride sometime soon..........

the pack pictures are definitely rathi dragon with original picture, ? and mahamoti djinn with the new picture. the box art is interesting, it looks more like art for a black card than a red card, and the dragon/drake/thing has a rider on its back which suggests that its not a dragon(dragons don't have riders on them). Personally i agree with the idea that its a specter, and since its the box art its most likely a rare specter(wizards usually use rare pics for pack and box art) which rules out abyssal specter which has always been uncommon, its not likely to be hypnotic specter since thats probably too powerful and the random discard is out of flavor at the moment, it can't be silent specter since it has morph, it won't be blazing or doomsday specter since gold cards are too complex for base sets. that leaves hollow or entropic specter as the 2 most likely cards and either of them would be fine by me.
I think that the pics of Mahamoti Djinn and Rathi Dragon are clear. I bet on Abyssal Specter for the boosterbox picture, the middle booster in the box is probably invasion art for Elvish Champion, as somebody have already said. I cannot decipher the central pic in the booster fan, though

I'm thinking the middle pack could be Throne of Bone? But I can't conceive the possibility of that card getting it's face ona booster....
I hope not. I thought they were going to replace those cards with the Mirrodin block ones (Angel's Feather, etc.).

Forgive me father, I did an original sin, I poked a badger with a spoon.
Yes, I like my coffee, hot and strong... Like I like my women: Hot and strong, with a spoon in them.
If they were gonna print legends it surley wouldnt be phage.. I simply cannot see a "loose the game" trigger in a basic set.. All the new players would be like: OMG OMG MEGA BROKEN UBER STUPID GAME!!!

I can't think of a reason they would put an Uncommon like Abyssal Specter on the box. It is certainly a creature though....I think.

This is just a guess but looking at the picture of the box the far right pack almost looks like new artwork for Uktabi Orangutans. The color looks about right and that shape looks somewhat like a single Orangutan facing forward.

I know they said they won't print gold cards in core sets, but my guess for the box creature is Bladewing the Risen. That would be awesome if they reprinted it.

They won't put either gold cards or legends in there, so it's not Bladewing. I was thinking Abyssay Specter too, but they seem to put a lot more emphasis on the dragon than on its rider, so I'm not too sure about that, either. The packaging looks pretty darn cool, though, regardless of what the heck the things are.

"...because without beer, things do not seem to go as well."
Wizards posted it on MTG.COM
as for the one on the box, it looks a little too deadish if u know what i mean to be shivan dragon, but who knows...
The one on the right (both in the box and in the fanned packs) looks to be Mahamoti Djinn (new art).
I wonder what the middle card in the fanned packs is, though.
-Goblinboy
But what specter is cool enough to make it onto the box, that they'd reprint?...
Specters they could do, in theory under current core set guidelines: Hollow Specter, Hypnotic Specter, Abyssal Specter, Entropic Specter(never knew about Entropic before right now, cool card...they do do */*s in core set by the way; Maro).
edit: If there's one pack art for each color, then the middle one in that fan is either black or red, and it looks like an undead guy on a throne(Lord of the Undead?), so it's probably black.
The left booster art is Rathi Dragon (Tempest art), the right booster is the new Mahomati Djinn art. I can't make out either of the ones in the middle (both in the box and in the three prominently displayed below it.)
I really can't guess what that box art is for.
EDIT: Well, what everybody else just said.
I also agre that the middle booster pack in the booster box is the art from the 6thh edition elvish champion, and the picture on the back of the display seems to me like it is Abyssal Specter, and if not its definitely a specter of some sort.

And the fact that it's being ridden is another turnoff from being a Dragon. Perhaps Abyssal Specter?

Could they be printing legends in the core set with core story legends making an appearence?
Dunno, but well, yep

Looks black. No, it's not throne of bone for at least 3 reasons I can think of. Diabolic Tutor is one guess. Reminds me of a zombie lord, though.
