There's something I don't understand in this link.
They say that the prerelease pack of BOG will contain 1 seeded booster and 5 BOG boosters.
But isn't a small expansion (165 cards) supposed to be constructed with the big one ?
I'm not sure if they changed it because I didn't read it that carefully before but it now says:
The Prerelease Pack contains a Spindown Life Counter, one of five Hero Cards, one of five activity cards, three Theros Boosters, two Born of the God boosters, and a seeded booster featuring cards appropriate for that player's chosen path—including one of the five Prerelease promo cards.

"A card is considered functionally identical to another card if it has the same card type, subtypes, abilities, mana cost, power, and toughness." - Wizards of the Coast Official Reprint Policy
So what's up with WOTC spamming these new types of decks for Theros? Have they done minigame type stuff like this before or did they hire someone with great new ideas?
great new game ideas: world of warcraft already has a bunch of raid decks (like hydra deck).
For one, the Horde format described in that article works wonderfully with multiplayer, and in fact is best played with multiple players. They described this format as being simply incompatible with multiples.
I've been tuning my face the hydra deck in preparation for the next challenge deck. I play a mostly blue deck, with a red splash for spell-heart chimera and steam augury. Do you think people would get upset from seeing cards like spell blast out of my deck (the face the hydra cards have a cmc of 0, so it's counter target spell for 1 blue mana)? Will spell blast still work like that?

"If fetch lands are reprinted I really believe they will be in allied colors (aka Onslaught fetches). If the fetch lands are reprinted you better believe that we'll all be fetching up basics. This would lead me to believe that the set after THS may have a reprint as the temples can't be fetched but it's pure speculation." - posted 03/22/2014 proved correct during Khans spoiler season.
"The set releases for fall 2015 (Blood, Sweat and Tears) and fall 2016 (Lock, Stock and Barrel). One or both of those 2 blocks (I'm betting) are going to contain either Fetch reprints or (more likely) Filter reprints. Filter lands still need a reprint. They are getting pretty high up there and it's been longer than ZEN so it makes a little more sense that Filter lands would see print earlier that fetches." - posted 03/22/2014 proved incorrect about filters coming earlier than fetches, still pending on filters in Origins block.

This year, "summer casual" was replaced by Modern Masters while Commander 2013 replaced Premium Deck Series.. These challenge decks are supposed to appeal to the same crowd that likes Planechase/Archenemy.

So the long tradition of Minotaur beating in MTG continues.
I love the concept of these mini-game decks, even though the Hydra deck wasn't fun as I hoped.
You can do so much of customization/house rules to create local casual formats with these.
Such a terribly quiet thread! Let's inject some vigor! I've got some info and images of the horde deck that shall get us all salivating.
First, 15 Different cards (you'll know a 1/4th of the deck by the time you finish this post!)
Artifacts included for the 1st time (see below!)
Theros' Hero cards can be used along with the BNG ones (the limit for 3 Hero cards remains)
The Horde has no life. Instead, for each 1 damage you put one card from the Horde's deck into the graveyard.
You win when the Horde has no cards left in the deck + it has no creatures on the battlefield
Momir Vig, Simic Visionary
Melek, Izzet Paragon
Oona, Queen of the Fae
Bruna, Light of Alabaster
Gisela, Blade of Goldnight

when you said 15 different cards, I think 11 are missing.
I think you missed the part where TK said he was only going to spoil 1/4 today gcsmith.
So here's the deal, I'm working on getting images of the other 11. But my access today will be... limited.
Also!
If you look at today's birthdays (at the bottom of the main forum page), you'll see that today's my birthday! Which means hopefully I'm not completely side-tracked by my family and I have them and get them up before a whole day goes by. But I do ask for a little bit of patience in this instance just in case!

Horde Magic has been a casual thing forever; they've even talked about it on DailyMTG before.

This is my Trade Binder I check it and update it everyday
This is almost certainly different than that.

They are. My friends and I use them in casual all the time. Tis a lot of fun to play the Heros vs Monsters DD with 2 each.
BEEEES!

The original WoWTCG raid deck, Onyxia's Lair was released in 2006.....
5 years before that article. Horde Magic is a fairly new concept.

but in all seriousness....
Rageblood Shaman and Kragma Warcaller just got a bit happier.
Also the flavor of Borderland Minotaur also suggests that this is Elspeth's second trial.

It looks like the horde will play much closer to Horde magic than the hydra did, with the attacking each turn and damage=mill
Oh, bloody hell!
