The first post is incredibly outdated... I want to estimate the ammount of remaining unspoiled rares by color but the computed names don't even match the add up breakdown in each color...
Didn't a non-mod used to run this thread? I think that might be more effective if we're not going to get timely updates. The first post is no longer remotely accurate. I understand they have busy jobs, just think they ought to hand off duties to a volunteer who is willing to keep it current.

I don't think that that is very likely, that would unbalance the multicolor section, unless he doesn't have Red or Black, which would be odd for an Innistradi Vampire. All four pairs with both red and black have been revealed. He may still make the cut, as a mono-color rare or mythic, but at this point I think we can say he won't be a multi-colored.
Also, the Stromkirk line isn't really featured this time around, mainly focusing on the Voldaren line of vampires, making Runo getting a card less likely than normal.

While I agree that the Stromkirk line is less featured than the Voldaren, Im still holding out hope considering the presence of his lineage in both sets (Stromkirk MentorStromkirk Condemned) in addition to snippets of flavor text (Awoken HorrorSanguinary Mage) suggesting he would be among the eldrazi worshippers. Plus, Kalitas got a card despite having no story coverage in BFZ-Oath. I would actually prefer he be mono black, but considering his lineage is both black and red I find it more likely for him to be in both colors. The name would fit in the number crunch (as it stands) but as you said, it wouldnt fit color balance.
A standard small set is now 184 cards (Oath had two extra Wastes). The balance of Eldritch Moon is DFCs (205 - 184 = 21). I'm guessing they are printed on a 3x7 sheet. Ulrich is the only normal transform card, meaning there will be 20 cards that turn into Eldrazi. We've seen 17 DFCs so far, so expect 4 more.

that's a good guess.
Too bad we still go more eldrazis than BFZ had.
Well, technically speaking, we won't. BfZ had 50 Eldrazi creatures, and OGW had 40. This set should have about 32 cards that actually bear the type Eldrazi. This however, is not counting all the Horror cards like Stromkirk Occultist and Emrakul's Evangel that aren't actually Eldrazi, but might as well be, with their Emrakuled art. I'll make a list of every card that depicts an Eldrazified creature and post it here, once we have the whole set. Then we can see how well Wizards managed to make a set that's "not about Eldrazi."
Edit: I just realized Stormkirk was misspelled Stromkirk. lol.

True
Atleast it's still less eldrazi creature types.
I know whatever that werewolf one was on the trailer is going to be one

I'd bet 2 of them will be rare werewolves at red and green. Dark Ascension had a cycle of a common, uncommon and rare werewolves in red and green with hunter master R/G at mythic, which Eldritch Moon seems to be mimicking.

Campaign of Vengeance finishes the enemy color gold uncommons (along with Lashweed Lurker for Simic). And Spell Queller means there's an allied mythic or rare for each tribe except humans. There's at least one more gold card unspoiled whose name is between Gr- and Me-. I'm hoping-- and willing to bet-- it's Hal and Alena! =D
Well, count 17/21 flip cards and 7/12 colorless cards. Would mean 9 more Eldrazi. I would expect one more green flip card, which is probably not a dragon because green. So 8 more possibilities for an Eldrazi Dragon.

So what you're saying is there is a chance for Eldrazi Elemental?
Thanks, i was getting worried.
Still sad we are not getting mythic awesome like Malignus...
After I did look into it a bit more... I would say the chances are much better for an Elemental then a Dragon.
We have 12 Elementals before EMN on Innistrad in all rarities and primarily in the colors green and red. In contrast only 3 red dragons which are either mystic or rare.
In addition we also got a red dragon in EMN spoiled on mystic. So I think, it will be unlikely to see another flip card with a dragon on the front... But perhaps a red Emerge card in the 5 colorless slots on rare.
The only thing I am not sure about is, if Emrakul can corrupt Elementals.
