I think wizards is sending a clear message by making this mythic land the prerelease promo after brifely taking a stance not to have mythics as prerelease promos that they don't care what rarity the prerelease promo is as long as its not remotely playable in constructed competetive formats.
They just tweeted the set names of the next block. Looks like that Greek mythos theme was spot on. Hello Minauaurs

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
Are they going to actually spoil cards other than some big, dumb Gruul card? I appreciate that they announced the Fall block and the art for the 10 Guild Champions, but this is a pretty lame panel compared to others I've seen. :\
Apparently, WOTC says that if stores preordered MM are okay, so if anyone didn't you're gonna have trouble. Also, they're aiming for Modern to be their big thing now instead of legacy. Oops.
In the same way you can tell someone is from the XVIII century because he is arroused by ankles, you can tell someone is from USA because he feels nipples disturbing.
Here's to hoping the guild champions aren't all fat clunky commander cards.
The one spoiled is actually really good. Put him in a midrange deck with Domri Rade, and the best that the opponent can hope for is to sweep him and take 6. Seems fine to me.

To be fair the past three panels have all been large set reveals.
Their twitter is saying that now that the creation of planeswalkers has changed how R&D looks at legendary creatures - now their primary consideration for legendary creatures is EDH.

I could see that. Still, hoping it's a merfolk as they got very little love in Gatecrash.
I'm also really happy Lavinia is the Azorious champ. She's the one I was hoping for from the flavor texts.
As for Theros... I am so excited! Maybe we'll finally get more Harpies.

Not like he couldn't have been both??? Wizards could have done it. But it would have strained the way they created the champions or planeswalkers.
He's talking about now, after they took the 'no mythics as prerelease promos' during Innistrad block.

Or did they already say we can't use it?
Is there another source?
EDIT: oh yeah, terrible land.
We can't use this promo, since they already stated that.

It's the mythic land that's been spoiled for a while.

..... pfftt... this is useless.
Nice arts for the guild champions tho, and Emmara too.
The definition of entitlement.
Well, Ruric Thar isn't, so that's a good sign!
also I hope for some cool gorgons and harpies, but what color would harpies be?
They've already stated that you won't be able to use it in your sealed pool at prerelease events like you could with RTR and GTC.
Wouldn't make a lot of sense anyhow, since you're unlikely to have 10 gates in your sealed pool.

You can find me on MTGO. My username is gereffi.
Because we were told we aren't allowed to after the last 2, wizards stated it clearly in the prerelease information below

I'd have to guess black, or green, or red, or some mixture of those colors. Possibly blue, but I'd doubt it.
