Vindication for the Mexican sources...here is Robe of Mirrors.
The art in tenth overall is great, but holy ****, Robe of Mirrors is genius! I love how they're not afraid to re-work the entire flavor for the sake of better artwork. It's incredibly impressive.

Robe of Mirrors is awesomely conceptualized. Reminds me of the DnD spell mirror image--which is apt. Wonderful.
While Serra's Embrace gets a boo for being too literal, it still does convey the feel of the card, as the mechanics tend to imply a card that's more violent in nature, while this new art jives with the card flavor-wise, saying 'gentle strength' rather than 'RAWR I GOT PUMPED!'
Back at the bar, when you thought we were getting all palsy-walsy, I was actually flipping through that sorry mind you call an organizer looking for dirt! You know what we call THAT? MIND-TAKING, BABY! ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES!
I thought we saw the 7th ed version of Shivan Dragon on some packaging. Of course, we also saw Southern Paladin on a starter box in the same packaging, so all bets are off.
My (educated) guesses:
1) Spawning Pool
2) Reya (known)
3) Rampant Growth (due for some new art too)
4) Soulblast (see the faces and figures in the flames)
5) Rootwater Matriarch (could be commando, but doesn't look aggresive enough)
6) Serra's Embrace (nothing else to go on)
7) Smash (Would be better than battered armour from Rav and Tahngarth tearing it up in Apoc)
8) Squee (known)
9) ??? (Starlight Invoker's a good guess Bitsy, but I'm clueless)
10) Sean Connery twenty years ago (also known as Steadfast Guard)
11) Sea Monster (Also needs new art)
12) Robe of Mirrors (known from Mexican scan)
13) Shock (again, needs new art... they have a lot of Rath cycle art to replace here)
14) Skyshroud Ranger (known from Mexicans? can't remember if they scanned it in)
15) Rod of Ruin (seen it somewhere too)
16) Quirion Dryad (known)
17) Regeneration (seen in a scan somewhere too)
18) Shivan Hellkite (though the art we saw did have Shivan Dragon as tooltip text... could be either, but the Hellkite could use some new artwork)
@seds: I don't think they'll change the guard's creature type from Rebel, seeing as a change like that removes some functionality from the card (being able to be tutored with other Rebels, course being weak enough I doubt you'd go looking for that over some other two drop )... they could ADD soldier, but I highly doubt they'd remove Rebel (since they didn't with Ballista Squad, also a Rebel from Masques

Although it somewhat resembles the Exodus art, it looks like the land is growing and isn't "assaulting" anything. Also, the art looks very green, and not red at all.

But they did add to the type and with them bringing back rebals how many cards were just rebals? very well could end up Human Rebel or Human Rebel soldier
3. Wall of Fire 4. Vampire Bats
5. Stronghold Discipline 6. Wild Griffin
7. Suntail Hawk 8. Wall of Wood
9. Sudden Impact 10. Wall of Swords
11. Time Stretch 12. Sunken Hope
13. Upwelling 14. Story Circle
15. Uncontrollable Anger 16. Treetop Village
17. Terror
We knew most of these, but Sunken Home was certainly one we did not guess.

they both look odd...

that's the page. I had to dig for it
1 Spawning Pool not much room for arguing...
2 Reya - CONFIRMED
3 Rampant Growth
4 Soulblast look at the 'fire'
5 Rootwater Matriarch
6 Extremely literal - Serra's Embrace
7 Shatterstorm?
8 Squee CONFIRMED
9 Righteousness?
10 Steadfast Guard I think it is obvious that card needed new art. (As it will likely be a soldier now to boot)
11 Sea Monster
12 Robe of Mirrors CONFIRMED
13 Shock CONFIRMED
14 Skyshroud Ranger CONFIRMED
15 Rod of Ruin CONFIRMED
16 Quirion Dryad CONFIRMED
17 Regeneration CONFIRMED
18 Shivan Dragon CONFIRMED
Seems solid to me.

It would appear to be Rampant Growth.
I think this is Steadfast Guard.

Players to avoid while playing on Magic Workstation due to blatant retardation:

5 looks like a perfect fit for rootwater diver, but its not on the spoiler. I'd say rootwater commando then.
Edit — Matriarch not commando..

6 is Serra's Embrace.
9 is Starlight Invoker.
10 is Royal Assassin?? or maybe Steadfast Guard??
11 is Sea Monster.
I'm out of ideas.
EDIT: Guess I was wrong, though I still think it looks more like smash.

That said, it rather needs a race-type (human?)
If so I'm quite happy with it
But they did add to the type and with them bringing back rebals how many cards were just rebals? very well could end up Human Rebel or Human Rebel soldier
9. Righteousness
10. Royal Assassin (think Steadfast Guard would have been in last weeks pics with the other St... cards)
Agreed, look more like Assassin, that Guard...
1 Spawning Pool - clear
2 Reya Dawnbringer - known
3 Rampant Growth - it reminds me much from the well-known Japanese tsunami-over-Mt.Fuji engraving :o:o:o:o
4 Soulblast - faces in the fire - the sacrificed creatures. Match.
5 Rootwater Matriarch
6 Serra's Embrace - yeah, literal.
7 Smash?
8 Squee, Goblin Nabob
9 Righteousness? Starlight Invoker?
10 Royal Assassin. The card has a badass feel, and daggers are not quite typical for guards, as opposed to assassins.
11 Sea Monster
12 Robe of Mirrors
13 Shock
14 Skyshroud Ranger
15 Rod of Ruin [
16 Quirion Dryad
17 Regeneration
18 Shivan Dragon
Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)
