I don't think there is one yet, at least not one posted recently. If there is, feel free to correct me.

Yay, it appear they found a away to do horror eldrazi not scifi eldrazi, inistrad may just keep its flavour
June 20, 2016 6:07 p.m.
That horror kinda looked like Phyrexian Obliterator but that doesn't seem to fit flavor wise?

Humans (Sigarda's groups), Werewolves (Arlin), Vampires (Olivia Voldaren) fight Emrakul's brood, while the Gatewatch show up to take down Emrakul, only to be bested, Liliana comes in all powerful with the chain veil, Sorin and Nahiri fight it out, (No real need for Nahiri, Sorin, Ugin trapping Eldrazi now) Nahiri sees the error of her ways, Emrakul is banished, Lilly has to take some time to try and kill off some more demons (since a bunch were released from the Helvault) to control the veil and the "Raven Man", which is coincidentally perfect, because she has to stay on Innistrad to do that, while Sorin looks for a new fail safe for Innistrad. The Nephilm sea thing has something to do with Stitcher Geralf and Lilly channeling some power to her (all the zombies working around that area)
Kinda sounds like the last two sets, just different creature types. :-|

Glittering Wish-style card for Eldrazi?
Coax from the Blind Eternities
2U
Sorcery- Rare
You may choose an Eldrazi card you own from outside the game or in exile, reveal that card, and put it into your hand.
U-Tron tech maybe?
June 20, 2016 6:53 p.m.
Yeah, they are not going to kill off their #1 package face guy. Jace is the new Urza. Dude of the Gatewatch, Guildpact of Ravnica and stuff.Stuff is going to happen and he'll perhaps die at the end of that stuff, but that's like in 10 years or so.
June 20, 2016 6:55 p.m.
For all you naysayers! ITS EMRAKUL! Still hardly believe it myself but I think its awesome! Although... Nahiri does need to die now. :L
What I'd really like to see would be a Kalia, the Vast but . . . Eldrazi Demon Angel Legendary Creature. With some other tweaks so you aren't spamming Eldrazi God's on turn 3 or 4.

Eldrazi Wish is weird i don't like the fact that it doesn't exile itself after use.
June 20, 2016 7:13 p.m.
Here's the image.
Also, Emrakul doesn't die to sorcery speed removal unless your opponent topdecks it. After all, you will use it to kill all of their creatures and suicide the rest in combat. Emrakul isn't redundant, but it and Ulamog basically do the same. I just prefer Emrakul.
I'm talking about standard, BTW.
June 20, 2016 7:16 p.m.
Wow, this sucks. Image for the first time on the thread.
June 20, 2016 7:19 p.m.
I'm more excited (and hoping) for some decent zombies! Been trying a mono black deck with relentless dead since innistrad released, and it's extremely underwhelming! Maybe eldritch moon will finally help give my deck some better synergies and cool zombie recursion strategies!

We've gone full Lovecraft. I love it. This is amazing. If the flavour alone holds up, I'll love this set, seeing as I'm a big H.P Lovecraft fan.
June 20, 2016 7:29 p.m.
Everyone's turned into a Lovecraft cultists. I love craftily Lovecraftian fiction.
June 20, 2016 7:33 p.m.
What about that new eldrazi tutor spell?
I mean, it could be kinda broken if a someone running Nahiri's Homemade Spaghetti sideboarded 2 Emmy as well as having a few mainboarded.
Other than that IDK if that tutor will have an effective use.
The new Emrakul is a bit more balanced than the previous one was.
June 20, 2016 7:54 p.m.
I don't think that Ulrich is terrible, but he's an awful Werewolf general in EDH. He does nothing to support the tribe other than being a big Werewolf himself. Huge letdown in that regard.
In Standard, he may be a good option in a midrange strategy. Being able to pump a Tireless Tracker and then kill something on the flip side isn't too shabby. We'll have to see, I guess.
June 20, 2016 7:58 p.m.
Soo... would Emrakul's powers be able to manipulate and control spirits? Out of SOI we've seen corrupted werewolves, vampires, humans, and zombies, but I haven't seen anything unusual for spirits. With humans, Lilly's zombies, and Olivia's vampires and I'm presuming Arlin and the werewolves may tag along as well, we practically have all the original Innistrad creature types going up against Emrakul, except spirits. Are they going to play a minor third party that just causes annoyance for either side or will there be some force we don't know about that will unite them in the coalition against the edrazi titan?
June 20, 2016 8:09 p.m.
Any idea if Coax from the Blind Eternities is going to do anything interesting with Inverter of Truth?
June 20, 2016 8:11 p.m.
So... Ulrich's templating ... "Whenever this creature..." (instead of naming itself)
Is this the new templating, or hint at fake?
(Very good fake if it is... image does not appear to be taken from anywhere online)
June 20, 2016 8:13 p.m. Edited.
Also, just realized new Emmy plus Animar, Soul of Elements + Cloudstone Curio = one of the most Johnnyish commander wincons...
June 20, 2016 8:13 p.m.
Rayenous I believe it's that way so that the backside of the card can trigger that ability when it transforms into the frontside. If it said "Whenever Ulrich of the Krallenhorde enters the battlefield or transforms into Ulrich of the Krallehorde," it wouldn't work. Because it says this creature, it doesn't matter what the current name of the creature is.
At least I think that's how it works lol
June 20, 2016 8:28 p.m.
I think the Eldrazi Tutor could be cool in blue tron with All Is Dust, Ulamog Ceaseless, and maybe Emrakul (Old). What do you guys think?
June 20, 2016 8:52 p.m.
JDMCRIB - The name of the second side is directly mentioned. Thus it would trigger either way.
If this is real, this is the only creature with an ETB which does not refer to itself by name.
June 20, 2016 9:12 p.m.
GoldGhost012 says... #31
Huntmaster of the Fells Flip has the same templating.
It was spoiled by the official WotC Twitter, so... it's real.

OmegaAura113 says... #32
I feel like Gisa is going to be aiding Emrakul and be a tentacle-like ghoul caller (based on how she helped Nahiri), meanwhile Geralf will actually be a good-ish guy (still grafting zombies, but this time to kill Emmy's spawn). That leaves Ludevic, which I also hope is a good guy with Geralf and FINALLY gets a card based on how the lore is going (plus we also need to see what happened with Sigarda, the Geist of Saint Traft and Thalia - they're presumed uncorrupted and on the good side as well; the latter two are owed new cards anyway).
June 20, 2016 9:34 p.m.
Liliana Vess being the one to Kill Emrakul is pretty great. she is nearly as powerful as a pre-mending planeswalker so out of all of the current 'Walkers, she has the best chance. And she has the chain veil.
June 20, 2016 9:47 p.m.
Punderstorm says... #34
Well there's 2 disappointing mythic right off the bat. I honestly don't intend to buy any of this set. Maybe a couple singles but I don't want to actively support Wizards by cracking packs and getting boxes. Making Emrakul appear so soon is the worst thing they could have done. If this block had come out in a couple years it would have been great, but they completely ruined it by putting it right after BFZ block.

Raptor199X says... #35
Anyone else feel like we'll be getting Eldrazi-Angel types, along with Eldrazi-humans, Eldrazi-werewolves etc. Or maybe a card that's like "give target creature X +1/+1 counters. It's an eldrazi along with its other types"
June 20, 2016 9:52 p.m.
Hi_diddly_ho_neighbor says... #36
Ha that blue spell...suck it Stasis Snare and the like!
June 20, 2016 10 p.m.
I think Wizards will not oversaturate the set with Eldrazi by replacing the "eldrazi" cards with the horror archetype.
June 20, 2016 10:11 p.m.
Anyone else think Hal and Alena getting a card together is a possibility? Seeing as they were in 2 story articles, and on the flavor text of at least one card in SOI, it seems to point in that direction.
June 20, 2016 10:21 p.m. Edited.
Is the Legend Werewolf comfirmed? The text is kind of wierd. (I believe it shouldn't be "whenever this", instead it should be "whenever name of card")
June 20, 2016 10:55 p.m.
Gidgetimer says... #41
Huntmaster of the Fells Flip, Ravager of the Fells Flip, Werewolf Ransacker Flip are all templated "this creature" and they are the only ones with transforms abilities.
June 20, 2016 11:03 p.m.
Gidgetimer says... #42
Sloanan that interaction does not work how you want it to. All of the "next turn" triggers will refer to the same turn and you will end up just giving them lots of extra turns.
June 20, 2016 11:07 p.m.
You know a legendary creature card is bad if people are questioning if it's real or not XD
June 20, 2016 11:17 p.m.
@Phaetion:
I'd certaily love that, hopefully it happens!
Not sure what to think of the new Emrakul yet, first impression is a bit underwhelming, leaves new Ulamog still the most powerful of the bunch which is ironic considering how he seemed to be the simplest of the lot (in lore that is).
That werewolf seems poor, I'd be pretty dissappointed if I was a werewolf-aficionado waiting for a tribal commander.
Not very happy with Bruna and Gisela's fate, I was hoping at least Bruna would somehow come out ok and snap out of it with a new card to boot. Hopefully their card will at least be worth it.
June 21, 2016 12:22 a.m.
Never really been a fan of Eldrazi, but at least they had a great lore reason to bring them to Innistrad.
On a more related note, any speculation on Spirits?
June 21, 2016 1:24 a.m.
Does anyone know if Emrakul would have any control over spirits or if spirit creatures would have any reason to take sides?
(I don't think you can mutate a spirit...)
June 21, 2016 2:17 a.m.
One month of thread... I wonder how long it will become...
June 21, 2016 3:23 a.m.
Flavor is excellent. The card is good. But yet many are dissapointed. I quite like it.
June 21, 2016 3:46 a.m.
Where are the next spoilers? Wizards beeing sadisic faggs again.

I wouldn't read too much into that. If you look at the trailer again; far left you'll see Jace in the same predicament. I don't expect all 4 Planeswalkers to get killed; they'll probably get severely messed up, and it will be Lili and Taymao to save them.
