Eldritch Moon Spoilers should start July 4th, two Mondays before the prerelease. Small sets get just one week of previews, right? If not, then June 27th.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
If I had to guess. I'm going to assume that all Tamiyo and Jace's pleading to Sorin not to kill Avacyn for the sake of the plane was because of her very status as protector. With Avacyn gone the Eldritch Moon, or Emrakul, is finally ready to descend upon the plane. All this being in accordance to Nahiri's vendetta. Liliana's tie in could have something to do with the veil. It's mentioned in the story where she visits Jace that it's a vessel for the resurrection of a long dead race. Just my thoughts.
Spoilers actually end two weeks before release (one week before pre release weekend) and are spread over two weeks. Spoilers should start 27 June, four weeks from tomorrow.
Please, please, please give me one more good, red, low mana cost, +1/+1 counter-gaining on player damage, RED, vampire. Maybe someone from the Stromkirk line? If it can't be 3 mana or under, maybe Runo Stromkirk himself? Yes I did get that additional one-mana red vamp that I was waiting for, two actually; Insolent Neonate and Falkenrath Gorger, but neither one gains counters. I even picked the Neonate over the rare Gorger for my Red Vamp Deck because its ability (Menace) is of use to me, whereas Madness is not.
Maybe it's too much to hope for to expect basically another Stromkirk Noble with a new name and a little variation (maybe not being able to be blocked by a race other than human like Elves or something else that has been prevalent of late), but it would really help me out; me being the only person in the world who is trying to run Red Vampires as his main Modern Deck. Certainly the thousands and thousands of dollars in production costs would be worth it.
That and Runo Stromkirk, who costs 2R, and is a 4/4, and has haste, and can turn himself into mist form (can activate shroud), and gives all vamps including himself two +1/+1 counters on damaging players (or on attack if you feel he is still too weak for the 2R). Or just make him 1R. And Shroud ("Some Stromkirk elders have achieved the ability to transform themselves into mist.")

Have you read what you've wrote? A 4/4 haste for 2R that can have shroud is umbalanced! And I'm not even considering the +1/+1 counters. It would warp standard into red aggro again, please don't do this.

Emrakul's madness has expanted beyond Innistrad and has started affecting the real world O.O
I was being sarcastic. Obviously he would be insanely overpowered. I should have added Indestructible and a few other things to make it a little more obvious. But I am very serious about wanting a new variation of Stromkirk Noble. I'll post my Red Vamps in the budget modern forum sometime soon. Nothing in it is worth more than a couple bucks but out of everything I've ever made it's my favorite. Innistrad is my favorite block and setting from MTG, which is fitting because Ravenloft was my favorite realm in AD&D. Can't wait for all the Lovecraftian goodness that is no doubt about to emerge from the depths in Eldritch Moon.
If someone asks again when spoiler season starts please either link them to the original post in this thread or the the pinned thread instead of answering the question, that way they will know where to look next time.
We also don't necessarily expect you to read every post in a thread, but if you have a question please check the original post and the last 2 pages of a thread to see if your question has been asked and answered.
The reason we're not seeing the +1/+1 counter theme as much is because the vampires are mostly creatures that are benefitting from cheap madness costs, and tacking on the Innistrad +1/+1 counters would be a bit too much for a cheap, aggro/madness theme. Bloodmad Vampire still hearkens to it, but it's the only one in the set. We might see another variant in Eldritch Moon, but their focus is on cheaper, faster rather than growing.
I have neither the skill to correctly and accurately analyze this set in the context of current and future formats after 12 hours of exposure, nor the hubris to delude myself into believing that I do.
Everyone should learn from this

Because that's the last chapter of shadows over innistrad (the picture on that chapter is one little part of anguished unmaking.)
So marit lage or emrakul or whatever will be revealed soon.
Someone didn't read the story. Or look at the card Anguished Unmaking.
flavor text, the end of it... end her forever... yeah
She is dead, yes, but she was not beheaded, was my point.
So how much longer till eldritch moon spoilers start
Aka when we find out if emrakul is the culpret or not.

Reach out and torch someone . . .
Final nail in the coffin (I think it's a no brainer now.)
And June 20th is when it starts

June 27th. Standard expansions always start two weeks before pre-release.
I have added the spoiler start date to the original post. We also have a Pinned thread at the very top of the rumour mill forum http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/magic-fundamentals/the-rumor-mill/673776-when-will-we-get-spoilers-for-set-schedule-of it has the tentative spoiler start dates for every upcoming set, (minus FTV Lore) all the way to Aether Revolt.

Kidding, of course.

BANNED just kidding
