I like that dragon, pretty sweet in my Zirilan of the Claw EDH deck. Of course noone is surprised the red mythic is an obligatory dragon.
Golgari Charm seems pretty good, kills x/1's, or regenerates your field in response to a board wipe, or destroys an enchantment. Pretty good flexibility, I like it.
Wizards print good rares, players complain about cash grab. They print underwhelming rares, players complain that the cards suck. They spoil the best cards first, players complain about the insane prices of preorders. They spoil the meh cards first, players complain that this is the worst set ever.
So. I think I understand now.
As far as these forums are concerned, WotC can never do anything good because:
Card that is new and probably good = "pushed"
Card that is new and probably bad = "EDH/casual fodder"
Card that is a reprint = "lazy"
Card that is a better version of an older card = "power creep"
Card that is a weaker version of an older card = "worthless"
Loooove that dragon! Darn, it's going to be a pain to get in foil for my collection.
Golgari Charm isn't what I hoped for, though. I wanted something I could play in BG Zombies, but that kind of kills my Gravecrawlers. I needed enchantment hate which this has, but it's a rather boring charm.
To the people calling foul, get over yourselves. If WotC was bothered enough by this to need to contact me, it wouldn't be hard. Not exactly hiding over here, anonymity doesn't serve those who've done no wrong.
I didn't go forcing this on every single M:tG player in existence, if a person wants to know what's in the set a short time before it releases, now they can. If they don't, whoah hey logic alert but they can just avoid this.
I haven't taken any thunder from WotC's official spoilers, there are still unknown cards for them to knock your socks off with. Now that there are only so few left, how much MORE excited are you to know what they are than before? I know I can't wait to see them officially spoiled.
I'm a 15-year Magic vet and although I have most of the set in duplicate already, I'm still going to attend my local RtR pre-release event, I'm still going to buy a couple of booster boxes, fat packs, event decks, and so on.
Good points all. No one here can even try to play off that they "accidentally" followed a link and were ambushed by rampant card images. Radkos miscreants did not jump off the screen and hold anyone's eyes open while threatening to remove said lids if they didn't read. The mods here strongly enforce the rules about spoilers and such being kept only in approved forums so that no one gets spoiled unless they choose to do so.
Some folks just need to pontificate to feel all fuzzy and special about themselves, or to overcome weird Freudian guilt complexes over peeking at things they shouldn't (probably walked in on their moms in the shower as a child or somesuch).
Many thanks to you for taking the time and making the substantial efforts you did to share on such a grand scale. For those of us who are still young to the game, having a little time to think through how cards can fit together best makes PR events much more enjoyable and much less frustrating.

Completely agree with photodyer. If you don't want to watch it refrain from clicking the

button.
PS I just hope you got it legally otherwise you could actually be in trouble.
PPS Note that I am not acusing you of getting the cards ilegally I'm just saying I have no idea how you got the cards.
The missing hybrid card is known. It was Azor's Elocutors.
Card's we're still missing:
* Golgari Charm
* A red-black multicolor card which name begins with "Rakdos" (Uncommon)
* Artifact 1 (Rare)
* Artifact 2 (Uncommon)
* A blue card (rare, I believe)
* A red card (mythic rare, I think)
* One Multicolor card (Probably a Selesnya Mythic Rare)
* Effect of the Azorius Keyrune.
I saw the Selesnya Mythic today. It's called Armada Wurm - 2GGWW, 5/5 trample. When it ETB put a 5/5 Wurm with trample on the battlefield.

Props to the thread starter for the early spoils
Neat. Any word on the remaining five then? 2 artifacts, Azorius Keyrune, Rakdos Uncommon, blue Rare. Kind of odd that 3 out of 5 of the last unspoiled cards are uncommons.
Also "Broodmate Wurm" seems inherently playable. 6 mana for 10 trampling power? Yowza. Kind of curious why they didn't just make it "Put a 5/5 wurm with trample into play, proliferate" though.

I like the charm in b/g zombies, removal, enchant hate, and regen all in one card..yes please. Might be more of a sideboard card vs. maindeck but I guess that depends on the metagame. The ability to get rid of Rest in Peace seems worth it enough for me.

Some cards have to enable strong proliferate targets.

Azorius key rune just gives a 2/2 blue and white artifact flier.
Don't get excited about the remaining artifact. Its full of pointless coin flipping

Ok, here we go.

Volatile Rig - 4

Volatile Rig attacks each turn if able
Whenever Volatile Rig is dealt damage, flip a coin. if you lose the flip, sac Volatile Rig.
When Volatile Rig dies, flip a coin. If you lose the flip, it deals 4 damage to each creature and player
4/4
so basically on turn 5 you swing for 6 with rakdos and then proceed to cast the "populate dragon" for RR....

I see they are keeping up the trend of a new juggernaut variant each 1st set of a block. Darksteel Juggernaut, Galvanic Juggernaut, now this thing. Interesting take on the idea though. The fact that it might randomly blow up the board if your opponent decides to block it is interesting.
Here it is:
Now thats one cool dragon and dragon token. Not good, nut cook never the less.
Not sure about the Charm. It's removal and combat trick in one package..

And Golgari aggro will be so strong with golgari charm n rootborn defense, virtually invincible
Golgari Charm isn't what I hoped for, though. I wanted something I could play in BG Zombies, but that kind of kills my Gravecrawlers. I needed enchantment hate which this has, but it's a rather boring charm.

Pointless coin flipping is the best kind of coin flipping.
What about the last blue rare? Any info on that?
