Rise of the Eldrazi Spoilers: Sarkhan Vol

Looks like the Rise of the Eldrazi spoiler season is official. In the last week, we have seen a flurry of Magic related product featuring artwork from the next set. One piece in particular really excites me. Let's take a look at what was found this morning!
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Rise of the Eldrazi Sarkhan Vol
 
 
... Does that man look familiar? He should. As the web comics confirmed, looks like Sarkhan Vol is definitely on Zendikar and as much a planeswalker than ever. I'm still unsure of what his colors are, though. It appears he could be a black planeswalker. Last we heard, he was in kahoots with Nicol Bolas. Here's some food for thought: Speculation has it that Rise of the Eldrazi may consist of one half colorless and the other half hybrid (Though I'm not sold on this idea yet), perhaps that would put Sarkhan in a Red/Black or Red/Blue hybrid? I'm basing this purely on artwork alone - He doesn't have his normal Red/Green, dragon hunting look to him. Let's here your speculation, people!

Rise of the Eldrazi Spoiler: Kozilek, Butcher of Truth

We have an exciting ROE spoiler for you today! Looks like Wizard's decided to flat-out spoil possibly the biggest of the big in the upcoming set: Rise of the Eldrazi. Hold on to your Harrows, kids, Heeeere's Kozilek, Butcher of Truth!
 
Kozilek, Butcher of Truth
 
Boom. 12/12 body, you draw an undeniable four cards even if he gets countered. Get rid of four permanents the defending player controls. Shroud doesn't mean anything to him (If you have tried playing WU since ZEN, Gatekeeper of Malakir a huge pain due to the "Sacrifices" word). The design is interesting about this guy. He essentially slithers past everything except for Path to Exile.
 
 
I'll be interested to see how often this guy (and the rest of the eldrazi, for that matter) are going to be hard-cast. To date, we have ramp tools, Eye of Ugin, Polymorph and Summoning Trap. Based on what we know as of March first, These guys will likely go into some sort of green build. Black and White are almost out of the question, since there is no chance for graveyard recursion with this bad boy.
 
I also appreciate the card border and it's opacity. It's almost a full-art card. Very fun. Makes the eldrazi look larger than most other critters, for sure. This card confirms to me that this will (thankfully) not be a colorless block. Unless every card past #6's name is past K. :-)

Phyrexia vs. The Coalition Spoiler 2: Facebook Previews

A couple more cards from the new Duel Decks series, courtesy of WOTC's Facebook crew! Living Dead is to be assumed that it is in the Phyrexia deck, and Armadillo Cloak, obviously in the Coalition deck. I personally can't wait to get my hands on the new Armadillo Cloak. It's going to look sexy in my Uril EDH deck!

Rise of the Eldrazi Spoiler: Booster Box Description

Looks like we have another little flavor-snippet of information that has been taken off of the Rise of the Eldrazi Booster Box, let's read:
 
In their quest to uncover ancient treasures, Planeswalkers have awakened the Eldrazi - parasite titans of the aether, imprisoned on Zendikar for thousands of years. Seemingly unstoppable, these world eaters threaten all of the Multiverse and their very presence has changed everything you know about Zendikar. To survive, you'll have to be at the very top of your game. Rise of the Eldrazi is set 3 of of 3 in the Zendikar Block
.
I'll give my quick little disection of the blurb and then let you fill me in (mind you, this is coming from what I know flavor-wise based on cards. I have read the online comics but I have not read the novels). Notice, that Planeswalkers awakened, as in plural. From what I know, Nissa and Sorin both realise Eldrazi to be problems, so I doubt they would awake them to begin with. That leaves Jace and Chandra as far as known planeswalkers. Sarkhan is also known to be around Zendikar with Chandra, sort of.
 
 
What am I getting at? I had speculation before Worldwake came out, that if there was one planeswalker in Worldwake, that a fifth planeswalker would be in the ROE set. I believe that it'll be Sarkhan. Colors? Not really sure. His characteristics have shown us red or black so far, but we already have a very intense red walker from Zendikar as well as a black walker. So I'm not really sure what to think. Any of you have good theories? I'd love to hear them!
