[M14] Game Day will take place between August 10–11, 2013.
It appears that there is an extended art Hive Stirrings for everyone that participates, and the players that make it to Top 8 will receive an extended art of Goblin Diplomats. I have searched the forum and partial spoilers thread, and as of this posting, Goblin Diplomats has not been mentioned. Here are the stats:
1R
Creature - Goblin t: Each creature attacks this turn if possible.
2/1
Artist: Jesper Ejsing
The first place winner receives a nice looking playmat featuring Chandra. Please see the URL above for an image.
Why couldn't they do lands aswell though. I really like the fnm of evolving wilds and savage lands. It'd be cool if the did fnm's for either the shocklands or the guildgates.
They won't do shocklands, since FNM promos are nowadays only commons and at best uncommons. Rares (especially chase rares) are printed as Judge-promos.
And picking one of the 10 gates seems pretty meh idea for a promo. Either all or none.

Also modgaming Bur setups is kind of treading down a dark path

... yeah. Shocklands, no way in Hades. FNM promos are always cards printed as either commons or uncommons. Shocklands would make good Judge promos, or would have about a year ago. Now they're plentiful again. Maybe in a few years demand will rise once people arne't still opening them.
There's always a possibility that they could pick a guildgate for one of the guilds (and the fact that they're hitting all ten guilds is only speculation on my part). However, there are a lot of cards that are simply "cooler" than guildgates. WOTC likes FNM cards to be exciting and nifty. Something that you're guaranteed to get in every DGM pack doesn't really qualify.
If I may ask, why do you really like the land FNM promos? They're not substantially different from the regular pack foils.

There has not yet been any confirmation.
There is already a judge promo Vindicate, so that might be a promo for something else.
Thanks to Rivenor for the awesome sig!

At a guess, because it was no longer "special" with the PDS: Graveborn version out there.
I was searching for Game Day information, and noticed that Wizards has updated their page for the [M14]. The URL is at the following:

Good one, Scopi!

I write flavor articles for RoxieCards.
I play and judge at Giga Bites Cafein Marietta, Georgia.

We probably could have figured on this one: Sliver Token for M14 League Play.
Prerelease foil for M14 is Megantic Sliver.

We've had Sliver tokens before, as Player Reward tokens.
We'd seen these before in prize packs, but it's great to have the official confirmation.
To the best of my knowledge we now know all 2013 Judge Rewards but the promo with collector's number 5/8 - any one have info on that?
There is a set of Planeswalker promos being released solely at SDCC (that's San Diego ComicCon, for those of you unfamiliar). They have an alternate color template, in that they're mostly "black on black". Check the article here:
http://geek-news.mtv.com/2013/06/24/magic-the-gathering-planeswalkers-san-diego-comic-con/
Also, the Mothership released the list of M14 promos, which gives us Colossal Whale as the Release Day promo: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/1262
All others were known already, thanks in part to viewers like you.
http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/1265 (Thanks Spidey for updating the first post already)
Which gives us
Azorius (Judge's Familiar)
Boros (???)
Dimir (Dimir Charm)
Golgari (???)
Gruul (???)
Izzet (Izzet Charm)
Orzhov (???)
Rakdos (Rakdos Cackler)
Selesnya (Call of the Conclave)
Simic (Experiment One)
Are we allowed to speculate here? My guess for Gruul would be Zhur-Taa Druid. Just makes sense form past promos, they like mana dorks as promos.
I figure at least one more charm, maybe two more sorceries, and then a promo special uncommon land?
I would've been happy with ten charms.
Boros is probably Warleader's Helix.
Golgari is probably Putrefy.
Orzhov - not sure
The Druid is probably right, but the special uncommon lands were the first Ravnica block, and they seem to be sticking with T2 stuff.
They won't do shocklands, since FNM promos are nowadays only commons and at best uncommons. Rares (especially chase rares) are printed as Judge-promos.
And picking one of the 10 gates seems pretty meh idea for a promo. Either all or none.
My guess for Orzhov is probably Cartel Aristocrat?
