Drops will contain between three and seven predetermined cards and tokens in a customized collector box, costing either $29.99 or $39.99 depending on the drop – some of which will use premium foil cards as well. A bundle will also be available for $199.99 that guarantees you all seven drops.
Additionally, ordering a drop will get you codes for digital goodies in MTG Arena and Magic Online. You’ll get the cards themselves in Magic Online, but Heggen explained that since most of the cards in this series don’t exist in Arena, you’ll instead get sleeves as “expressions of the drop’s theme.”
As for what the other drops in that list will include, Wizards of the Coast said it will be showing off more them today on its official Twitter account, so you can keep your eyes peeled there for further reveals.

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
I'd like to know what's in these before committing to the $200 purchase of all 7.
Seems like an ok middle ground of things like FTV/masterpieces/mythic sets. Kind of a bummer they're only available for 24hrs each.
They are having social media people preview each one today every hour then we will get an article with the full listing by the end of the day.

Only available for 24 hours!?
How much dumber can they get?
Just make it limited print run like master sets
The upside to this change is that it's printed to demand within that 24hr period. If you can place your order, you will get your product (unlike the Mythic sets).
The downside is if you can't make the date or just forget, tough luck and get it from a reseller. A slightly longer period would be most appreciated (48hrs? A week?).
Also, I don't think I read anywhere that they'll be limiting how many a customer can purchase.

The different decks all have different types of art that aren't traditionally thought of as magic art. The cat one have the cute internet meme art but not all the card will. For the eldraine one for example I'm guessing more showcase type fairy tale book art.

This. WotC saw how bad they screwed up with those kinds of products that sold out within minutes and massive sudden loads of traffic that broke the store, and now they are experimenting with new ways to screw up. In theory, it's a good idea - instead of one single, massive bursts of people rushing to the store, now it'll be more evenly distributed throught the 24 hour period.
With that said, I do agree 24 hours seems like a pretty limited timespan, especially when we're talking about WotC. I mean, it's not like WotC has a good history of handling IT infrastructure problems.
That said, these themes seem... fine, but not exciting. Cute cats is a clever theme but nothing I'd drop 40 bucks into. Bitterblossom Dreams could have a lot of potential, maybe a full set of arts reminiscent of Lorwyn's style, maybe with Rebecca herself coming back to do some art? Eldraine Wonderland seems fine but sounds like more of the same. Seeing Visions and Kaleidoscope Dreams are vague enough that they could go either way, but neither sound very promising, and everything else just sounds bad.
EDIT: Derp, just saw the Bitterblossom one. That's super boring, but still, I guess that's one way of making reprints of overpriced cards without upsetting the secondary market?
Or I could go buy a nearly indistinguisable Bitterblossom proxy online for a few bucks, sleeve it up and 99% of players would never know.
Hard pass.

Seeing Visions makes me think of Serum Visions, Ponder, Preordain, etc. Kaleidoscope Dreams seems multicolor (5 color?) and I hope it has appropriately trippy or cool art.
I think, based on just seeing the cats and Bitterblossom, this can be a step in the right direction even if some of these sets flop. They can really do any number of themes to fit any demand, and people can buy to fit their personal demand (someone may have several decks that need a Bitterblossom(s))

Well my brother might like the cat one for his equipment/cat tribal deck
Well 40$ for each one and there’s 7 so that’s 280$ of value so you save about 80$ if you buy the secret lair bundle

Well, a NM bitterblosson non foil is close to $44 and the secret lair is $29
It could be one of the $39.99 packs. I hope not, but it could be
Nummot says that the bitterblossom One is $29,99 on his unboxing video
Oh perfect. I didn't have the sound on because I'm at work haha
