The scan can be seen, abeit small, on page two of this thread, in Cyan's post, it's an official page/foldout rundown of the mechanics in Saviors, and it features a Pic of Soramaro (The dude on the front of the 'Soratami's wisdom' preconstructed deck box!) along with the card text, #, etc.
The scan is too small to pick up anything else at the moment, hopefully we'll have a much clearer, and bigger version popping up here or on MTGnews soon.
And... Hopefully the source will reveal even more info for us, just to wet the mouths of us rumor hungry folk
It is indeed small. Still it is good. The art we have but it is interesting regardless. Can photoshop sharpen that? Also is it just me or is it an ad for FNM?
Im no expert, but these seem very real. The orb results, the picture (even though its tiny), aparent mechanic feasibility, and that it isnt a first poster posting this leads me to----real.
Someone else just emailed me a much larger version of the scan..but it's too big to attach, of course. I'll set up one of those sites to host it and edit this message with the correct URL when I'm done. The bigger scan explains everything very clearly, and clears things up nicely.
Edit: Credit for providing Verbal and myself should go to someone whom wants to be called 'The Ghost'. He says that isn't his SN here or on news, but, 'it should work'..so..thanks to The Ghost for the first really relevant Saviors information we've gotten
If you get scans that're really large and need a quick way to resize them, [url=http://www.irfanview.com]IrfanView is what I use as a really cheap, small, free program that's good for doing that sort of thing. Just thought I'd suggest it with all the picture resizing and stuff going on. Also, .jpg (not .jpeg) would make a much smaller file size. The larger a picture is when you save it as gif, the larger the file size is than other picture formats.
sounds believable.
sweep - 4, not a cycle...eh? that's a little oddity. which color would lack the ability of sweep? blue because patron of the soratami, or green becoz azusa?
well, if the black one is "return a swamp and your opponent discard a card", i hope....
BLUE: Return an island - Draw a card.
GREEN: Return a forest - Put a 2/2 bear into play or creatures get +1/+1 ueot.
RED: Return a mountain - Deals...well, 2 sounds too many to hammer a player and 1 just too little, except it's a spell cost 1~2cc for the final blow or combined with a decent amount of dmg w/o sweep.
WHITE: Return a plains - Tap a creature?........way too powerful
EDIT:
Oops, now scans available!
Great job, cyan & verbal!
Heh, it is definetely NOT 'return an Island, draw a card'...that would be obscenely powerful, especially with that Patron around..of course, they could just make the spell cost a fortune so that you can't make it actually decent. It miiiight be a bounce spell, which could possibly be decent and interesting. It'll probably be a really bad counterspell instead
sweep seems like an interesting ability.. the black one alone seems pretty powerful, the other colors if they are equally as powerful i bet they will get a lot of play..
channel seems like a reprint of cycling, nothing wrong with that imho..
wisdom is interesting.. depending on how powerful the creatures get, etc..
epic is another story.. any card that doesnt let me play any more spells this game better be a pretty darn powerful card, thats for sure.. it will be interesting to see what these spells actually do..
Epic is hard to belive. But indeed, that scan is proof right before my eyes. I surmise they will be expensive and/or sorceries. If they are instants, then you can play one, respond to it with another one (provided you have enough mana... not probably likely) and get two free Epics each turn! Sweep is kinda silly, but it does tie into hand size matters. And, Channel? I've seen it made a couple times in the Card / Set Creation forums.
Channel seems awesome. One card can be a creautre or a spell. Pretty sweet.

Epic spells better be damned good for me to not play anymore spells that games, such as I gain 10 life a turn, or a 1 casting cost Wrath, or something of that nature.
I collect: Vedalken Heretic, Lorescale Coatl, Reaper King, Worldslayer, Woodwraith Corrupter, Lorthos, the Tidemaker. Soon to collect Conquering Manticore.
I demanded a Manticore, and Wizards delivered. I now demand a Chimaera. The REAL one, not, Chimeric items. I also demand a new Gorgon. And more Manticores please.

Actually, a 1cc Wrath as an Epic spell would suck...considering it doesn't mateter how much mana you spend, if you're not going to play anymore spells ever...

It'll be interesting to see how they manage to work those Epic things. They can't simply be Instant/Sorcery, how would they possibly word it?
I don't really like the Channel that much so far. It seems like it'd be good in Limited, turning little guys that would be useless into at least a temporary boon, but, more than anything, it seems like a bad Cycling variant.
Epic really isn't all that cool or useful. I must admit, free spells every upkeep is awesome, but at that cost, they should really end games. I'd think we'll see 4 flying 2/2s for 6 as an epic spell, or similar power. Something that guarantees a game win, or nobody is going to ever want to play it.

I have no extendo-sig. Sorry, I'm just not vain enough to think someone will click on it.
There are always ways around 'playing' spells though, the Channel mechanic alone has some synergy with Epic spells, as they're not 'played' per~se. Abilities like, Lifespinner, Myojin of life's web etc will interact nicely with Epic Spells/abilities.
a 1 cc wrath would be god with a honden of infinite rage out. or a artifact that could deal damage, basically, the epic spells all matter what you have out on the field when you play them. anyone else notice that you can still play the channel cards when youve played an epic spell. since its an ability. you still draw cards after the epic spell but you can only play lands. i can sense an epic/ channel deck coming if the epic and channel cards are good enough for it.

So far I have no problems what-so-ever with them. We had speculated about the Crescent Moon So I figure this is real. Also there is our other refernce to Soramaro. I guess it just takes someone esle to get the ball rolling
Edit: Added mana symbols
Edit 2: Added Pictures, they seem real but the Cresent Moon looks strange

It miiiight be a bounce spell, which could possibly be decent and interesting. It'll probably be a really bad counterspell instead
say,
Bane of the counter - 1U

Counter target spell unless its controller pays 1 plus the number of islands u returned to ur hand.

Seriously, it probably won't be a counterspell, Oppressive Will is already really close to that in function.
very nice azerbaijan, thank u and thank your source.. now to the cards:
kami of the crescent moon - blue howling mine.. very nice.
descendant of kiyomaro - interesting card, filler mostly, but playable
soramaro - mentioned before, a very nice card.
moonbow illusionist - filler, interesting with landwalk abilities obviously, other then that not much...
presence of the wise - nice card.. looks like it pays to have cards in your hand in this set
descendant of soramaro - very nice card.. again looks like having cards in your hand is good
