I am both happy and sad with these news. Happy to get the remaining ravnica leaders in miniatures, but sad that this probably means they will never make it into the prepainted line.

The sculpts look very good!

This should really be moved to a different thread.
This is pretty specifically for prepainted.

Some really weird creatures here, some cool ones too. As I know next to nothing about MtG I'll leave someone else to fill in the lore here.

Dwarf Fighter and Cleric (apart from the Mr T-like golden bling, looks normal enough to be in Faerun. Maybe a cleric of Abbathor, heh)

...there are some characters and stuff there for magic settings we haven't had officially revealed there... I expect the dwarf, elf, god, wolf, and snake are from the upcoming world Kaldheim (it's a norse themed set)
They do look cool though

These look pretty cool. Might get some of them for use with D&D. Jace is sort of already available prepainted though, in the Arena of the Planeswalkers base game, and he's probably the best of the prepainted minis in that set. (Even though the minis there really aren't the best quality.)

Going through all of the wave 14 minis across the various lines, I think I might actually get the Elves and the Dwarves, assuming they scale well with normal D&D minis, and depending on what the 2nd mini in the pack looks like too.

Strangely, Magic twitter/reddit/rumour sites haven't noticed these yet, despite them spoiling information about an upcoming set!

Wow! Did not expect spoilers for the upcoming MtG set to come from an unpainted miniatures line. I thought you might have been mistaken on calling these MtG until I saw the recognizable planeswalkers. That’s pretty cool.

They're releasing a Norse-themed MTG set? OH NO, MY WALLET.

Other than these minis, we saw a very small sneak peak of Kaldheim 11 years ago on the Planeschase plan card "Skybreen"

Same.

The wolf with braids is a little odd, but not if you think of it in respect to such a creature with human-like intelligence. Think Fenris-Wolf, or the closest iteration in 3e, the epic Brachyurus, a large wolf-like canid with genius-level intelligence.

Some of the sculpts come off a bit oddly (the berserker just looks wrong to me; I think it’s the helmet), but could work well for some of the petitioners on outer planes like Ysgard.

So this is a viking-like setting? Interesting. Anyway, so far nothing that really interests me. Maybe the snake and the wolf if they are available as painted minis someday would make good animals for Asgard (the D&D plane/layer).

IVC2 listed the minis too, here are the missing pics of the Human Berserker, Elf Cleric (more like Wizard) and Dwarf Fighter (well, more like Barbarian).

Some of these (NPC types for sure) could totally work in D&D and even stand out as something we have not seen yet when it comes from multi-culture and weapons.

Sweet!!!

The little rune plaques on the elf cleric are pretty cool. The odd fleshy scarification around his forehead is odd, though... The dwarf and human mini's look great. Will probably pick some of these up when they release.

So found these online, New Deepcut minis based on the Magic the Gathering plane of Kaldhelm, It seems this plane has a Hevily based Nordic theme with Dwarves, Valkiries , Giant Wolves and more... Im sure we will get a book next year as well as a pre-painted set.
