Big news from Digga on the forums . .This art appears on the pre-release / launch party poster with Rampaging Baloths. Unfortunately, we have only partial text on the one card.
The safe / unobscured card we already know from a previous post . . .
Rampaging Baloths, 4
Creature - Beast, Mythic Rare
Trample
Landfall - Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, you may put a 4/4 green Beast creature token (onto the battlefield)
6/6
And the new card . . .
EDIT : This post was updated only 15 minutes with full card information - the following was speculation previously posted (so disregard eh.)
We can deliberate some assumptions for Valakut :
* Valakut is not a common. As it is safe to assume that Valakut is the Release / Launch promo card, it will be either a rare or a mythic rare.
* We may also assume the following card text given the partial wording . . . "Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle enters the battlefield tapped."
* There is a conditional line starting with "W", and we think it safe to say that the word here is 'When'.
* The 'When' is not likely to be associated with a 'kicker' cost as this would be another line above the conditional.
* T: Add R (or RR?) to your mana pool. Valakut obviously produces red mana '' given the standard mountain card frame.
Some Valakut Speculation . . .
'When Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle enters the battlefield, acrifice it unless you return a land you control to its owner's hand.'
'When Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle enters the battlefield, you may search your library for a Plains card and put it onto the battlefield tapped. If you do, shuffle your library.'
'When Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle becomes tapped, it deals 1 damage to target creature or opponent'.

Yikes! I want both!! A land that can act as a pinger for free? Nice!
I'm already salivating over the Baloth, especially since green makes it easy to get lands into play. Scapeshift + Rampaging Baloths = "teh nutz".
I agree. I want both of them! Blarg! I don't suppose we know which is going to be given out where yet, do we? It seems likely lately the Mythic was always the pre-release card, but will that hold true here, too?
HOW COULD IT BE CONFIRMED thats a made card..you can see the corner of the baloth card in the cards picture... god you people are redic... i mean i hope its right but that pic does not confirm it
