B/W Tokens is my best guess. There are some money rares to get the product selling (Marsh Flats, thoughtseize, Auriok Champion, Elspeth) and enough solid cards for people to buy the deck and actually play it (IoK, path, honor, windbrisk heights).
Maybe Brimaz will even make an appearance.
I am working on building a B/W Tokens deck so this would be awesome.
Also, any idea when the deck list will be revealed?

Ya i mean BW tokens. Why do people think that is what the deck will be? Just because it has a few tokens? If anything having only 5 tokens included is a reason to think its certainly NOT BW tokens.
^ Because B/W Tokens It is fairly cheap yet competitive. It is a fair deck that can be built without many of its most expensive cards and still be strong. Also it is not a super complicated deck to play, but not linear
You make a very good point though... (it makes me sad, because I think you're right)

I doubt they will make a Twin deck.. if its geared towards new players/players without a good group of modern legal cards I see more of a grind/value deck that allows you to mess up a couple times but still be very forgiving (Junk, GBx, Tokens, Val-U-Pod)
Yeah, but if you factor in the fact that Canopy was a fairly recent spike and the massive $75 price tag it seems realistic to contain something similar in price. Bear in mind also that Modern Masters, for WotC, was a $168 product that contained a almighty ton of high value cards in it and you have to expect to see some serious value in an event deck that costs well over a third of the price. As WotC don't use secondary market prices, I doubt very much that WotC are looking at secondary market prices for this product. Rather, I hope that they make an amazing deck that gets players enjoying Modern.
If they were making MM2, I would agree. Is there one pre-constructed deck that was competitive in its said format? From the Legacy ones on MTGO, to the Standard ones, to the EDH ones. Yeah they know how to throw a group of interesting cards into a pile to make people buy them for the most part, but it rarely if ever is because of their playablity.
I am expecting a bunch of $3-$10 cards thrown together adding up to roughly $100. Of course there will be that one deck that is about $125 that everyone is fighting to get because of a single card or two.

Isn't one of the legacy precons basically Death N Taxes? That's still a tier 1 deck in legacy. That's a pretty poor example.
I don't think anyone expects it to be super competitive out of the box, but if its just a few cards away from being competitive, its still a win.

If you couldn't tell I hate greedy blue decks.

I contend the decks wont be playable, even with a few cards added. They will be T2 or worse decks with a pile of money cards in them. Look at the EDH decks, look at the majority of decks they have made.

I contend that they ban something in it eventually and we are forced into an awkward scenario like we were with stoneforge mystic.
You are probably right. It mostly depends on who they have designing the deck and how much effort is put into it.
Edit: Also EDH is kinda eh, because its a casual format. It's not really fair to use that as an example. Plus I think the standard ones are often fine, the meta just moves too quickly for them to keep up.

Is this just one deck, or a set of several event decks?
Supposedly the current formula is one event deck per whatever arbitrary time period they use for these things.
So... yeah.
It'd be funny if they unban Bitterblossom and Event Deck Fae is a thing. All the money rares would be singletons, but it'd take actual effort to jank up the collection.
I mean, even a Hero's Downfall or Wydwen in the mixture would be far from the end of the world, or so I feel.
I'm guessing soul sisters, infect or cheap affinity due to the $75 tag, fetches and PWs would seriously raise the rrp to like $150 if people are saying tron or zoo or whatever

I know there won't be anything super ridiculous in this, but I am really hoping for fetches or a Lilly reprint. I would be thrilled with either.
