So looks like we're getting Battle the Horde for the next game day. I'm guessing the deck will be similar like the Hydra deck but instead we fight against minotaurs this time. Thoughts
ModEdit: I've commandeered this post to put all 15 images together (in 3 spoilers) plus the rest of the info and rules. -TK
Info!
First, 15 Different cards (you'll know a 1/4th of the deck by the time you finish this post!)
Artifacts included for the 1st time (see below!)
Theros' Hero cards can be used along with the BNG ones (the limit for 3 Hero cards remains)
The Horde has no life. Instead, for each 1 damage you put one card from the Horde's deck into the graveyard.
You win when the Horde has no cards left in the deck + it has no creatures on the battlefield
Sounds good to me. Also hoping this means we will see more minotaurs in the set in general. Really want to do a Standard tribal deck and Theros has some nice stuff to start with.

awesome.
Will it have its custom system like the hydra deck? I can imagine the horde deck just being a bunch of normal minotaurs and some buff and kill spells.
HOLY CRAP YES
I LOVE YOU, OP.
I LOVED THAT HYDRA DECK AND THIS WILL BE AWESOME.
THANK YOU OP FOR TELLING US THIS.

Immediately after the draft, you may notice how freakin' screwed you are, as someone just used Lore Seeker to get a pack of Zendikar with a power nine inside.

There are important differences to note for Battle the Horde. This deck is a single-player challenge. The rules for Battle the Horde deck are different than for Face the Hydra, and are not convertible to a multiplayer experience. Fortunately, in battling the minotaur horde, players can use up to three Hero Cards from any of the five earlier Quests. Defeating the Horde means they've earned another Hero Card, which they can use against the Journey into Nyx Game Day Challenge Deck.

Single Player only challenge huh? I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays out. I hope it still has a "variable difficulty" like the Hydra did, even if its meant for one player.
COME MY FELLOW ORCS! LETS DESTROY ALL HUMANS!
FOR THE HOR-
oops... wrong game...
Anyways, looking forward to this. More Minotaurs more problems (which is a good thing). Although I didn't particularly like the Hydra event. Hopefully this will be better.
So what's up with WOTC spamming these new types of decks for Theros? Have they done minigame type stuff like this before or did they hire someone with great new ideas?
They want to increase pre-release/release/game day gimmicks and this one way to do it. You will most likely see something else in the next block and we had guild boxes in the last block as the gimmick.

Officially, doubt it.

I guess it depends on if the backs are the same or not... red deck box isn't make me think so either. I'll probably do it any way though.

Something of the sort has been hinted at in flavor text. Fellhide minotaur
These will have the same msrp as the promotional posters. Ie, they aren't intended for individual sale.
Actually the decks are for sale. Each store was able to order 6 to 12 extra Hydra decks. The MSRP was $11.99, I believe.
Some additional details from: http://www.wizards.com/WPN/News/Article.aspx?x=2013_11_25_BNGintro

Well wizards dont treat prereleases like "real sealed" so they can do what they like.
They want to increase pre-release/release/game day gimmicks and this one way to do it. You will most likely see something else in the next block and we had guild boxes in the last block as the gimmick.
We had the Maze run on DGM too.
"Death to all who oppose the Horde!!!"
Couldn't help myself...
Anyway, this is interesting, I was expecting another monster challenge deck, not a minotaur horde thing. Waiting for details...
