The 2013 Grand Prix schedule is out, including tons of Limited and Team Limited events. Next year's first Grand Prix promo is an alternate-art Primeval Titan, which will be given out through GP Houston:
GP's with more than 1200 attendees will be awarding Pro Tour invites and airfare to the top 8.
Those who Top 8 a PTQ will get a Gatecrash playmat featuring Aurelia and Gideon:
PTQ winners will also get a bonus of 1000 Planeswalker Points, thus giving them a 2-round bye at each GP that season.
There have also been various changes made to the World Magic Cup that are detailed in the article.
On another note, the Magic Players Championship will be renamed the World Championship, and its champion will be the World Champion (obviously). It'll be held at the same time as the World Magic Cup...which might lead to some confusion, but maybe not.
new players as they show up maybe twice with some budget deck they've spent the week designing and testing only to be beaten into oblivion by expensive decks they cannot hope to obtain and I think this is a tragedy.
Do note people... this is only the first half of the year. The article states that like this year, there will be a different promo 2nd half of the year.

Yeah, that IS really strange there isn't an expansion/star symbol of some kind. Plus, there isn't a watermark on the rules text. Strange... a new precedent perhaps?? Regardless, pretty awesome promo. edit: can anyone see the collector number?
It sees play in Legacy valakut, but I haven't seen it anywhere else or in modern. It's illegal everywhere else.
Some R/G Valakut decks run it in Modern, but it's not really used anywhere else. Anyway, I'm happy to have a Legacy GP just two hours from where I live. A GP in Atlantic City isn't too shabby either, that's not too far either.

I like that new Prime Time artwork, but will not be able to attend any of the first half of the GPs. I'm looking forward to what promo I'll get when I hit up Las Vegas and Oakland tourneys.
I guess we'll have to houserule prime time to be legal in my friends mayael EDH after all. Pretty stoked about this promo, going to have to get the full titan promo cycle for my cube.

not sure about oakland, but Vegas is the first GP after the promo change from prime time to something else
Not a huge fan of the art. A little too Borborygmos for my taste. Plus...I just don't like that he's green. Idk, doesn't do it for me. I'll stick with normal Prime Time for the cube.
I wish my 4/4s with haste and first strike that acted as Goblin Warchiefs were better and didn't die to instants and overshadowed all other 4 drops in the format. And that they had evasion too, and some way to dodge wrath effects.

Nothing. That's how they like it. Cards you buy should have an expiration date, and cards they give you should have no real playable value.
Frost Titan maybe?

Ah, good catch. That's probably it.
I asked Helene Bergeot on Twitter and it's actually intentional.
