I can't tell if Sorin smote Avacyn or if she's following him.

Looks like he put her in her place

Crispy wing leads me to think either he is rebuking her post rampage or she transformed right next to him and that's why they are both smokey...
She kinda looks like  {Dragonlord Ojutai} a bit...

Definitely looks like a smiting, another thing I just noticed, look at her legs, it kinda looks like there's stone binding her to the ground

They're hands either holding her down or pulling her down if you look closely

Sigarda!!!!

She is in the story!!
Sigarda, bane of mono-colored EDH?

Nah, that's Iona ;)
My bad. Sigarda, bane of Rise-Era Eldrazi. I'm beginning to suspect another MaRo half-truth. Emmy is not ON Inistrad, but is affecting it.

You people...

I would much rather it be Marit Lage

I am in the group that thinks  {Nahiri, the Lithomancer} is pulling some stonework .poo. on the moon. I mean she crafted hedrons ugin used to bind the eldrazi. If she made somethinf that powerful she could maybe do something to the moon. Besides if it was really emmy up there, where did the real moon go?

But what reason would she have to do that? I mean is she so pissed at Sorin that she decides to mess with the entire plane?

Well, he didn't show up to save her plane, so now she destroys his?
Childish, but not unheard of.

Here is my view on how things are gonna go down. The shadow over innistrad (SOI) is avacyn, but not just her but what her fall means to sorin. In the art posted earlier it looks like sorin taking care of her with jace and taymo watching. Avacyn's corruption is horrible, not just what she starts to do but what it means. The creatures that she had held at bay will be coming back, and getting another protector will be a "temporary" measure until the new one falls unless sorin finds some way to prevent it.

Then there is this new clue mechanic introduced. I think sorin won't know why avacyn turned bad, but i think Jace is gonna go poking around and learn that something is not quite right.

This leads to eldrich moon. Its to early to really say for sure what will happen. Its safe to assume nahiri is there and I think she is the one causing whatever it is that happens. Now while i hope she is just doing some stonework magic on it as i wrote this I noticed something.

A few of the cards spoiled so far have had wierd tentacles. We got the colorless land (with what looks like nahiri) and there is an white creature card with investigate that has the person looking at tentacles-like stuff on a wall. Also the magnifing glass card seems to me like in there is a tiny eye in the wound under the lens. Now while i hope it is not true i think that emmy is here/might be coming. I did hear that SOI started develop while the 3 block design was still in effect, so maybe nahiri is trying to lure the last eldrazi titian to innistrad so sorin will have to help fight them. And orginally in the third set of this block was meant to have emmy in it. In other words, one titan per set.

Kaylesh

The one Titan per set idea was used in development for BFZ-block. By that time it was thought to be a three block, I understood from an interview with the lead developer.

Nahiri does know how to lure the Titans, so it would be plausible. Whether it is to punish Sorin for not showing up, or forcing him to fight, or maybe both.
