There's also this page that shows us all the Legendary characters, with a brief blurb on their backstory.
Notable info? We have a UR Legendary Sphinx, a member of the obzedat, ghost council, and a new legendary Angel.

Ezuriii noooooo!!!
I guess return to return to Mirrodin will not be that much Mirrodin in fact.....
I hope the WR angel is more fascinating commander than Kalemne.
It will be Mirrodin... Perfected.

(U/B) is :symbu: or :symub: and the same is true for the other 9 hybrid symbols with their two colors in for the last 2 leters of the code. ((2/B) and co are :sym2b:)
Alternatively {UB} or {2B} in [mana] tags are (U/B) or (2/B) T is :symtap: and T will give T in [mana] tags
Another WR legendary angel...so now I HAVE TO buy the rw deck, great. Hopefully is good.

Look at our brand-new "dies to Pyroclasm" commanders: can't you hear a "doubt so" whisper in your head? Relax, ignore the box, then just buy that angel from SSG for $0.45
So apparently the oldest and most powerful member of the Obzedat (judging by him being the one back and center), is also Teysa's ancestor.
That's cool, but where the WB cuties at? Teysa can't be the only WB legend you can stand looking at for more than a minute.
Ezuri's art is way too Blizzard-inspired. The original New Phyrexians like Elesh Norn were so much more elegantly designed.

These days, some wizards are finding they have a little too much deck left at the end of their $$$.

I hope it dies to pyroclasm, makes it more likely to be 3 cmc or cheaper.
Almost missed that point about living weapon. You know what that means to me?

So, UG has Ezuri. Phyrexian Ezuri. That picture is EPIC. Do you think that "Swell the host" as the Commander package is named, will be some control/theft or unblockable mechanics for experience counters?
Because, "Call the Spirits" for Daxos (he generates them), "Wade into Battle" for Kalemne, "Seize Control" for Mizzix (cheaper spells aren't control as I take it)... So we have Ezuri with "Swell the host" for UG and then "Plunder the Graves" for Meren. Because Mazirek is sac and +1/+1 type general, I hope Meren will be reanimator, based on that motto. So that leaves us with Ezuri as infect general? Taking into account that phyrexia art..

With the description it seems more like some gains/ETB trigger because the decription says: "As more creatures join his mighty host, he infuses them with ever-greater power."
Ezuri with a level up overrun perhaps? Gains experience for casting creatures power 2 or less. Seems like it'd be a fun way to support tribal. Just letting the creative juices flow here.

That Description of Ezuri more than anything makes me think Mormir Vig, Simic Visionary will be reprinted in the deck, as he's the only other UG legendary creature that cares about the creatures you cast. The question is how is Ezuri going to use experience counters? I will be disappointed if it is just for pumping, as that is too close to the RW deck's face card to really differentiate the two.
I can only assume that all decks will have a Sol Ring in them.
And probably not the original Sol Ring art yet again.
WotC doesn't own that art (nor do they own any pre-Mirage art.) They'd have to pay the artist royalties for every copy printed. We're never seeing that art again.
Well it has already been reused once in the form of a Judge promo, and they've done it for other cards before. Many of the Timeshifted cards like Tormod's Crypt, Darkness, Eron the Relentless, Serrated Arrows and Nicol Bolas have reused art from pre-Mirage sets, as well as other cards like FNM Force Spike and the already mentioned Judge Sol Ring. Has their policy changed in the past few years or something? It's a shame, I'd love to have a modern frame black border original art Sol Ring that doesn't cost a few hundred dollars.
Based on the description, Meren is totally "get an experience counter when your guys die" and "reanimate a guy with cost equal to or less than experience counters every turn".
Meren of Clan Nel Toth
Meren seeks vengeance on her clan—and all of the Jund shard of Alara—by animating the corpses of the mighty dragons that rule her home shard in order to claim it as her own. She draws power from death itself, so the sooner her minions fall, the faster they rise again to fight her battles.
I'm not. Ezuri was a useless ass in-story, and the Phyrexians are neat villains. Maybe now he'll actually accomplish something beyond being needlessly confrontational, and an inconsequential obstacle to the protagonists' forward progress.
Notable info? We have a UR Legendary Sphinx, a member of the obzedat, ghost council, and a new legendary Angel.
Also, the BG Shaman that many were mistaking for Savra is a Shaman of Jund,
and it sounds like she will have some sort of reanimation ability.

Funny, I always called Ezuri "Elrond" because he totally looks like Hugo Weaving in LotR.

Yes. Shockingly, there is such a thing as female goblins.
That was really just the white-aligned Phyrexians. Ezuri's new design is perfectly in-line with the look of the green-aligned Phyrexians.
Look at Tel-Jilad Fallen and tell me Ezuri's off-model.
I'm not. Ezuri was a useless ass in-story, and the Phyrexians are neat villains. Maybe now he'll actually accomplish something beyond being needlessly confrontational, and an inconsequential obstacle to the protagonists' forward progress.
And here was me thinking they reproduced asexually via Goblin Warrens.
All this time, and I wasn't paying attention to Goblin Mum in the Warrens art.
