HoD is closer than you think! Jeez it's June already. JUNE! And with our July PR around the corner and spoilers to start flowing soon enough, let us play the guessing game that is HoD Invocations! Whoever has the most points when the full reveal happens wins..... forum cred.

The current set can only be drafted in leagues. I agree that this sucks. I stopped drafting for a few months when this change happened. I believe that the previous set can be drafted in a Swiss league (6-2-2-2).
The advantage to the current format is in speed. You can draft and knock out your 3 games in a lot less time. This is particularly popular to those who Twitch or create draft videos. There was a lot written about this when the change first happened, including WotC posts covering their rational.
New leagues are different from the old leagues. There's no such thing as tie breakers. You play at your own pace, there's no such thing as matches per week. You can read more about leagues here and here.
Have they completely done away with 8 man draft pods? I only see it available for AAK, New Player or Internal (why even post Internal WotC events). Haven't logged in in forever. Who's the orbital launch facility tech who thought making Drafts league only was a good idea? It works for sealed, not draft. Why the hell would I want to get thrown into a bucket consisting of 50+ pods. I assume that's how this works seeing as how I can find little to no decent information on the process. What I Have found seems vague and poorly written or perhaps I'm just missing something and my synapses are failing to fire. How does it work compared to old Leagues. In which you crack product, play 5 point matches per week then wins afterward go towards TBs.
Possibly, depending on the speed of the format. Cumber Stone and Dampening Pulse were playable, and incredibly taxing on your opponent in multiples. This costs 1 more and that is the lynch pin. The fact that it prevents damage from non-creature sources seems mostly irrelevant.
Seeing just the title made me thought that the number of Gatewatch members will be reduced...
I had a similar feeling. Perhaps not killed off, but corrupted at the very least. Gideon maybe, although the Amon preview video shows his shield activating when Hazoret tries to pierce his heart. Could see Lili getting her comecomeuppance as well.
Doesn't seem right a Desert world where Green is getting the power houses. Maybe to compesate for the lack of Invocations
I've posted previously, we are looking at a reverse Torment/Judgement block. WG is going to be be nuts in Amon, and Grixis will swoop in and lay the smackdown in HoD.
He came to Theros, but his place of birth is still a matter of speculation according to multiple sources. As far as Amonkhet spec, there is an image circulating that shows Ashiok and a Amonkheti minotaur wearing identical spaulders. Plus his friggin head is practically tiny, less curved Bolas horns. Or perhaps more akin to the Talon Gates themselves.
Bolas, Ramaz, Ashiok. The HoD 3. That would be savage.
This guy for starters works for the current story.
We saw Vraska on the Atlazan packaging and Ashiok is speculated to be Amonkheti. Many more PWs mentioned in passing and new ones to meet.
I for one am in favor of this policy shift.
Glow Eyes = Good Aligned
No Mask = In league with Bolas
No Glow = In league with Bolas
This isn't very hard to deduce. He is the middleman for Liliana's pact and is essentially gifting her a plane of undead to control. (unconfirmed)
If the GW doesn't get completely wrecked this set I'm going to be very disappointed.
So it's white at the very least.

Hazoret's Favor
This.
Tee hee.
Tip of the iceberg.
edit: bah, sac clauses. Whatever, abuse inc.
