Good to see that my listings were quite accurate, I only missed Angel's Mercy! (damn use and misuse of alphabetical orderings of apostophe'd words)
Let's see now what we have/lost:
White - 1 common and 1 rare left
#4: Interesting to see this wasn't Angelic Wall. So far, the only Wall in M12 is in Red! Curioser and curioser. #11,12,13: So Demystify has to be #13 and DoJ is #12 and Celestial Purge is #11. That means no Captain of the Watch and no Condemn (or similar *cough*StP*cough* since all uncommons are accounted for.) #25 Only possibilities left are Mesa Enchantress, Lightwielder Paladin, Lone Missionary, or Master Healer. However, since we are still missing a white "lord" which will be most likely the last white rare, if that lord is not in this slot, it will have to be Lone Missionary (or a new common.) #32: No Safe Passage! Sane players will be spared the unsufferability of TurboFog for the time being. Also, so much for hoping for Ranger of Eos. #37, 38 or 39 only choices left are Steadfast Guard, Stonehewer Giant, Stormfront Pegasus, Story Circle, Suntail Hawk, and Three Dreams. However, once again, the last rare is most likely going to be a new white lord, so if that's not in this slot, probably Suntail Hawk will see a reprint.
Artifact - 1 ? left #201: Altar of Dementia, Amulet of Vigor, Angelheart Vial (in Wizard's gatherer, it appears before Angel's Feather. I also like the speculation on Nicol Bolas, and hope is a new version.
I'm calling it right now- worst rare in the set. Even good limited players will find better bombs at common and uncommon no sweat. Worst. Episode. Ever.
I really do predict this to be our worst rare in set award winner. I'd be happier opening a jar of eyeballs, so I think anything worse is highly unlikely. This card wont just have zero constructed potential, but not be significantly better than a mass of ghouls in a draft.
I think we can count out mesa enchantress; the last rare almost has to be a lord. Marshall something something perhaps or soldier something something. I think in absence of squadron hawk Suntail is very likely.
The lack of a 1 w instant removal is not overly meaningful unless there is also not one in Inn.

Saki, Tsumo After Kon needed to be banned sadly. But I wish we could have kept Saki Miyanaga past the rotation.
It's entirely possible that white simply isn't getting a lord in M12. I find Mesa Enchantress to be the most likely candidate since there's a clear Enchantment emphasis in M12 (I mean, come on, Demystify and Auramancer in a core set). Also, my little birds tell me that Innistrad is going to be very Enchantment heavy and as such Mesa Enchantress would be an absolutely perfect fit.
Why not? Just now I can imagine of waves of players trying to do unfair chains of consecutive turns; high demand will cause a rise in her price, or not?
Nothing that will actually last.
It would only 'justify' the current 30 dollar price tag, if anything.

So, did WotC just decide that white sucks? I have no idea why they would so blatantly make white the only color without a lord. As a white player myself, I'm kind of angered.
(I suppose white gets the gorgeous art of Angelic Destiny...)

Cycles can be broken. Assumptions are dangerous.
However, I won't deny that is is in fact wishful thinking on my part.

But seriously, how likely is Time Warp? I would like to know whether it'll be worth it to preorder my Chandras...

I take your word on it
Too true. But if Time Warp does end up getting the slot, then she's going to go even higher...
GWB Junk Stax Ghave BWG
Perhaps.
