i just clicked the link to the site again & i imediately saw the Story section with some text & big Picture of a werewolf in a front angle covered in blue light. Probably from the nightsky. But after a few seconds, the site changed back. what was that ?
Yeah, it looks like a section that's supposed to show up when the countdown hits zero. Nothing really interesting there though. There's a caption that reads:
INNISTRAD STORY
Madness descends. Mysteries await. The story of Innistrad begins today!
And then there's a button/link "Start reading" which leads to a page with "access denied" when clicked on. There are also two background images, the first one's visible, and the second one's kinda hidden in code. Attaching them both for those curious.
It would actually be decent of them to just spoil the whole set. It would stink for people who write articles about individual cards, but most of those articles are people trying to make their lackluster spoiled card sound cool anyway. If they give us the whole set in a dump, it would allow for more brewing time and at least for me personally, I really only care about the official magic lore articles. Spoiling them all at once doesn't cause any issues with story articles. You can easily still write articles about the story after the card is spoiled. So dump the set please. That said, I doubt that is what they are going to do. But I would be happy if they did.

RIP Batman guy. I hope somebody picks up the slack now that you are gone. Sick children need their Batman.
They do talk a lot about trying new things, and though spoilers help a lot of websites increase traffic, I could see them trying to get ahead of spoilers in this way once, just to try it. If so, it's possible, but unlikely, that they spoil most of the set so some cards can still premiere on other sites. This may also help to track some spoilers.

It would be unprecedented and very different from the usual preview season, especially with the recent bottled brain previewed.
It might be a correct answer to leaks though.
My bet is that it is just the video trailer +1 spoiled card , maybe Jace for hype.[/quote
It would be different but actually a good thing. Most of the last dump of 100 or so cards are limited fodder. So the articles written can actually talk about the set. They can also use the articles written to highlight the cards they want.
One of the big problems with keywording milling is that there's three versions of it: mill an opponent, mill yourself, and mill any player. Each usage of the concept is carefully balanced - so it doesn't really save a lot of space since they can only really replace one of the three with a single keyword. If there was a way to add targeting restrictions to keywords, then maybe, but that just wouldn't work in the rules right now.
They can just keyword opponent mill and call it unravel. There are many flavors of creatures that kill other creatures using poison in combat too but that didn't prevent Wizards from key wording deathtouch (does anyone here still remember Cockatrice?
Those are functionally different effects, as opposed to milling yourself vs an opponent, two identical effects with different targets. It would be like keywording burn damage as "burn" and then having cards like:
Lava SpikeR
Instant
Burn 3
Lava Spike can only target players.
However, a solution to that would be keywording it as self-milling and then making cards that say things like "Target opponent mills 7."
Nice jesting posts but she isnt some no name non-legendary. She is a werewolf, double-faced, and a planeswalker. All the things very passionately LOUD people want.

I think this is the change hinted around the time the small debacle over the OGW leaks: They said that they realised that people believed the spoiler season started from the moment the very first card was officially revealed instead of the time when the official spoiler weeks started. So we have our official spoilers weeks in two weeks, but now that apparently there are some cards in the wild, they will be officially "leaking" some cards here and the in the meantime.
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.
Most likely it will be a preview of some cards that have the returning keywords or new keywords for the expansion
considering the "unravel the madness" quote I think it's a preview to officially confirm the return of madness (hopefully not Fiery Temper)
