Note: This list is heavily subject to change, as so few cards being spoiled means that most of the "Out" guesses are currently tracking as correct.

Green Sun's Zenith being spoiled put Zephyr Scarlet over the top, and with better tiebreakers than pmemmer, that puts Zephyr into the current first place! Natural Order also gives us another 9-pointer in th3shinigami!
Our two 10-pointers:
#1 Zephyr Scarlet

So, now that Brainstorm has been spoiled, this leaderboard will completely be warped and I’m kicked out of the competition, so I can start to speculate: who is gonna win this competition? I assume that at least someone will get 10 cards out of 10: Zephyr’s guessing is pretty solid and there are so many people, at least someone will get everything right. But I believe that someone who is currently at 8 cards guessed will take over everyone else: I kept studying the people over me in the board and currently there are no people who guessed 9 card and can beat Zephyr. Talking about who was at 8 guessed and was over me, only Festivus and kyurealm can go up to 10 right guessed cards. About everyone else, guessing brainstorm right can’t help you beating the others because it is values -1630 points, it would be really hard to win starting from so low.
Good luck everyone! I hope that kyurealm will win, I really like his choices, pretty risky but really smart (he also got right the Argothian enchantress a few moments ago).

"Masters of the arcane savor a delicious irony.
Their study of deep and complex arcana leads to such a simple end:
the ability to say merely yes or no."
We now have three separate 10-point entries. Zephyr and Pmemmer, the same as before, as well as a newcomer, The_Tolerable_Cylon, boosted from 7 to 10 by the spoiling of Brainstorm, Swords to Plowshares and Mother of Runes. We also have a whopping 21 9-point entries. I'm not going to list them all at this time, but I'll try to post up all of the 9-pointers without any missed entries tomorrow AM before the final spoilers go up.
The_Tolerable_Cylon's List:
IN: Brainstorm, Mother of Runes, Daze, Sensei's Divining Top, Swords to Plowshares
OUT: Liliana of the Veil, Snapcaster Mage, Abrupt Decay, Chalice of the Void, Elspeth, Knight-Errant

I wouldn't worry about Ponder, but Port on the other hand... it also happens to be on my reprint list. Then again, perhaps they would've revealed such a high profile card already.
I worry a bit since Brainstorm is already out, but I need it spoiled to kill those sky high tiebreakers.
Alright, here's the penultimate Leaderboard, the last one before the final reveal. Though last night didn't bring many new cards, we did correct a couple of spelling errors, which brings us to FOUR entries with ten points currently, along with 21 entries with 9!
Leaderboard as of 5/27 8am EDT (86 cards revealed)
#1 Zephyr Scarlet
IN: Counterspell, Chain Lightning, Shardless Agent, Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Green Sun's Zenith

I didn't expect it since I had such mediocre tiebreaker and regretted the list as soon as the contest was closed but it seems like it paid off. Thanks everyone, and especially the mod team for taking the effort to put this together

Your tiebreakers overall were pretty solid - you're the only person who made 10 points with positive tiebreakers. With Tarn on the OUT list and no Brainstorm on the IN list, you were in a pretty good position.
Looking at the tiebreaker points, your OUT list had three of the top five cards that didn't end up being reprinted - Gitaxian Probe, Scalding Tarn, and Abrupt Decay. The only card worth more points than these was Ponder.

Yeah, looking it that way you're probably right. Maybe I just freaked out at those 2000-3000 tiebreakers, perhaps because they included Ponder and Vintage only cards. Again, thanks everyone
As you can see, the value is really lackluster, with two of the cheapest mythics (no one over 10€ here in Europe), two uncommons bumped to rare (Mom and Scepter) and almost all of the crap 3CCC Stronghold Champion cycle, with only Toxic Deluge, Gamble, Green Sun's Zenith, Maelstrom Wanderer and Maze of Ith worth more than 2€, which are around 30 € here, plus some value uncommons like Swords, Chain Lightning, Cabal Therapy and Daze here & there which amount to 20€ and that's being generous, totalling 50€ value. I pulled no significant foils other than Karakas (no Daze, Hymn to Tourach, Chain Lightning, Cabal Therapy, Brainstorm, Elemental Blasts, Swords to Plowshares, Nimble Mongoose and etc) which is around 110 € here, which prompts the value of the box up to 160€. Boxes being sold at 210-220€ and at 190€ at preorder, it fails to even out by a fair margin even accounting the Karakas, and only the foil Karakas carried almost 3/4 of the value here. Had I pulled some other crappy common instead and the box not been free, I would have been left with what would be a laughable 50€ value, which shows how much of a gamble this "premium" product is.
Thankfully the box was free, and I pulled 160 € from it on top of a lot of Pauper staples, so it was a win-win for me.

I'll post some stats on this later so we can break down what went right and wrong.
In the meantime, Zephyr, expect a PM asking for your mailing address. The box will be sent out to you as soon as I receive it.

I didn't expect it since I had such mediocre tiebreaker and regretted the list as soon as the contest was closed but it seems like it paid off. Thanks everyone, and especially the mod team for taking the effort to put this together

Feel free to tell me yours!
Your tiebreakers overall were pretty solid - you're the only person who made 10 points with positive tiebreakers. With Tarn on the OUT list and no Brainstorm on the IN list, you were in a pretty good position.
Looking at the tiebreaker points, your OUT list had three of the top five cards that didn't end up being reprinted - Gitaxian Probe, Scalding Tarn, and Abrupt Decay. The only card worth more points than these was Ponder.

Yeah, looking it that way you're probably right. Maybe I just freaked out at those 2000-3000 tiebreakers, perhaps because they included Ponder and Vintage only cards. Again, thanks everyone

and a foil Karakas.
As you can see, the value is really lackluster, with two of the cheapest mythics (no one over 10€ here in Europe), two uncommons bumped to rare (Mom and Scepter) and almost all of the crap 3CCC Stronghold Champion cycle, with only Toxic Deluge, Gamble, Green Sun's Zenith, Maelstrom Wanderer and Maze of Ith worth more than 2€, which are around 30 € here, plus some value uncommons like Swords, Chain Lightning, Cabal Therapy and Daze here & there which amount to 20€ and that's being generous, totalling 50€ value. I pulled no significant foils other than Karakas (no Daze, Hymn to Tourach, Chain Lightning, Cabal Therapy, Brainstorm, Elemental Blasts, Swords to Plowshares, Nimble Mongoose and etc) which is around 110 € here, which prompts the value of the box up to 160€. Boxes being sold at 210-220€ and at 190€ at preorder, it fails to even out by a fair margin even accounting the Karakas, and only the foil Karakas carried almost 3/4 of the value here. Had I pulled some other crappy common instead and the box not been free, I would have been left with what would be a laughable 50€ value, which shows how much of a gamble this "premium" product is.
Thankfully the box was free, and I pulled 160 € from it on top of a lot of Pauper staples, so it was a win-win for me.
Thanks everyone!
