Spoiler season is at full force, with the next Standard expansion Tarkir: Dragonstorm and Tarkir: Dragonstorm Commander revealed for the first time at MagicCon: Chicago. The packaging of all five Commander decks, one from each of the three-color clans, were shown.
Please note that leaks are unofficial, unconfirmed images from a third party source. We advise you view at your own risk, until they are spoiled officially.
Betor, Ancestor's Voice
Among all the reveals, it appears that an unknown source has leaked an image of the Abzan Spirit Dragon card "Betor, Ancestor's Voice" for the Abzan Commander Deck, which fits the theme quite nicely:
- Let Your Shield Be Your Sword
- Ally with the Abzan clan to play defenders and turn toughness into power with this White-Black-Green Commander deck.
- Command your army with Abzan’s Mythic Spirit Dragon, Betor, or Felothar, khan of the Abzan clan; every deck includes 2 Traditional Foil Legendary Creature cards featuring gorgeous Borderless art.
- The Abzan are stalwart warriors with strong familial bonds who summon their ancestors’ spirits; they preserve the history and lineage of their clan through impenetrable defenses and sacred ancestral Kin-Trees.
Betor, Ancestor's Voice 2WBG
Legendary Creature - Spirit Dragon
Flying, Lifelink
At the beginning of your end step, put a number of +1/+1 counters on up to one other target creature you control equal to the amount of life you gained this turn. Return up to one target creature card with mana value less than or equal to the amount of life you list this turn from your graveyard to the battlefield.

Analysis
Although the Abzan Commander deck features Defenders and caring about Toughness, the card has all the qualities of an Abzan Commander: +1/+1 counters, reanimation, and caring about life lost.
It is likely to be the alternate Commander in the deck, with Felothar being the "Defender Matters" Commander.
With this leak, if the past is any indication, we could see a flurry of more pictures coming from the same source (apparently it comes from "Discord") - as usual, mystery surrounds whoever finds these products to open way ahead of its scheduled time.
