I'm not sure where to post this, so I settled on the rumor form since this is where I've seen strange card distribution of packs discussed before.
I usually get a booster box of a new set and noticed something strange when counting up what I opened for SOI.
I had opened 41 double faced cards that weren't foil out of the 36 booster packs. I then realized that was also the same total of non-foil rare/mythic rare cards I opened. The similarity between the numbers makes me think that the 5 double-faced rares I pulled almost certainly came in a pack with another non-rare double-faced card (as well as a normal rare). I thought non-foil double-faced cards only were ever supposed to be one per pack, was I mistaken? Or did I stumble onto a packing error?
It's an instant speed 5/5 trampler for 4. Wtf do you people want seriously? It has applications in populate/ above the curve beats decks, or in Bant control/ flash. I seriously think anyone mad at this card for any reason other than losing an attacker to instant speed wurm, should go home and make their own awesome card game and leave the rest of us alone.
Common/Uncommon DFCs appear in a dedicated DFC slot, Rares/Mythics appear in place of a common. Any pack with a rare/mythic DFC will then have 2 DFCs in it, and the rate is about 1/8 packs. MaRo outlined this on the first day of previews.

This is known. Every pack has a Common or Uncommon DFC in it. 1 in 8 packs on average has an additional DFC that's a Rare or Mythic.
