Saw on gatheringmagic.com a user posted this and it's interesting how the circled parts on the new art matches the old card.. will we see a new Phyrexian Hulk , but this time with infect?!?

This may be some sort of mind control card, any guesses for the name? Maybe Phyrexian Conscription?

i really dont think they will bring back artifact lands just because they have an easter egg of them on the basic lands

They will never bring back artifact lands. They would be crazy in extended (with the Alara block having Master Transmuter )

And they know how awesome bringing back both Artifact lands + Tezzeret the Seeker would be in standard so they won't do it. 2 lands per turn! If they did that I would be very very happy.

And that's HARDLY the craziest use of arty lands. Those things aren't ever coming back. I was actually mildly surprised to even find them in the Planechase decks. =p
RE Post #4 - the "Phyrexian Conscription" idea - that looks more like a voluntary fealty. The Vulshok is kneeling or squatting, and not being held down by anything as the weird faceless dude (that reminds me of Eldrazi, actually - I know they're not coming back in this set but the art style is similar) draws that symbol.

I reckon you can see a Phyrexian Ghoul in the first illustration.

@jessetaverne I was referring to Tezzeret's second ability in conjunction with his first, Tezzeret the Seeker can give you a second land per turn with his second ability and then untap 2 lands that you have used on the next turn. It is much better than Garruk Wildspeaker

I can't wait for the new Tezzeret to be released!

If that is true, expect to see Phyrexian Colossus with infect too
