I have to preorder my color today and don't want to choose the crap color that only has a chance at bulk rares. Are the planes walkers a possible pull in the seeded pack? Which color could Garruk be found in? Is there a list of possible rares in each seeded pack?
I would imagine they are any non-mythic in that color. If they walkers are available, which I doubt but we did get gods, I would think the mono walkers for their colors and no garruk in any of them. This is all speculation though.

I actually think the Souls are more likely than the Planeswalkers. They seem like logical Mythics to have in the seeded packs.
Here is a vidoe of someone unpacking one of the prerelease packs: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10154297170330307.
If you stop it at the time he layed out his seeded booster you can see that he got the Soul of zendikar, so mythics are possible. As far as I understand every card has a good chance to be in your choosen color in that one seeded booster, but nothing is guaranteed.
Reasoning: In previous years, there's been eight different packs, each with a different rare, one of which contains a mythic. Also, they haven't ever done a seeded pack that doubles up on the promo rare, so that leaves each color with seven possible choices for rare, and two for mythic. That covers all the regular rares, except Black, who I'm supposing will get Urborg as a rare slot, being that it's basically a black card (which is probably also the reason black got 7 rares rather than the eight of the other colors). Of the two for mythic, it could either be the Soul cycle, or the mono-colored Planeswalkers. Since they haven't done the Planeswalkers in the seeded packs before, I'm guessing it'll be the Soul cycle. That doesn't mean they couldn't start something new this time, of course.
Edit: With the info that there's a Soul in the seeded pack, I'm almost certain the Planeswalkers won't be in any seeded packs. So the list I put up above should be completely correct.
For each color are 8 posible seeded packs.
there is some cycles between the rares:
each color apears to have 1 of the leendary cycle
1 of each soul
at least 1 card with design credits
1 of each promo ( non promo)
They haven't had the promo as a possible "regular" rare in any of the RTR block or Theros block pre-releases.
So I would find it very odd for them to change it now, but then I don't work for WotC.
I would agree with wallycaine's list above as being what you could possibly open.
You and a great many other people. It'd be nice to go back to "here's 6 packs. Make your decks." Instead, we have to fight for colors we think won't suck, and get a wasted pack when everything else pushes you to another color. I'm kind of happy our store is doing random instead of choice. It always makes it so the last day is just red and blue.

I don't understand the hate against the prerelease packs. The seeded packs aren't as "heavy" as they were during Ravnica block, and you can still essentially build whatever you like if you have the cards to support it. The only real difference is the playable promo of the color of your choice, and I honestly think that's a good thing, as it gives you a powerful bomb regardless of what you pull, and also makes it easier for new players at Prereleases.
I miss the days of not having to worry about seeded packs...
You don't have to worry about them, seriously.
Build the best deck and open the best cards for it from your 5 boosters, who cares what color you pick.
Seriously, I chose white twice during the JOU prerelease, and I went BG the first time and GU the second (splashing for W). The color of your prerelease pack doesn't limit your deck building options all that much.

EDH is a CASUAL format. Get with the program, or GTFO.
Saw from where?
