The mono-White Event deck has an image of the uncommon Fiend Hunter.
Possible humans and spirits to fill out the rest of this pre-constructed deck.
Unable to identify the image on the Blue / Black / Green deck but think it safe to assume that given Fiend Hunter on the one side and given the colours, one could expect to see Vampires, Werewolves and Zombies in this deck.
UPDATED - thanks to Darksinger for the mad-typing . . .
A three-color event deck? Color me interested. Especially since the only tribe that fits in those colors is Zombies, and it seems to be much more than just a Zombie deck.
Though the fact that they've ignored Werewolves again is getting fishy. Surely there must be a reason for that other than the abundance of double-sided cards in such deck?
A Pod intro deck would be absolutely rad. Even if the deck is more generally based around Morbid and/or stocking the graveyard with resources (kind of like the Devour for Power commander deck) it would be more interesting than the typical aggro build.

Yeah that is kind of what every event deck has been so far
Mirrodin Besieged had a UB control/poison event deck.
There are good reasons for why most of them are aggro. They're easier to pilot for someone not used to the competitive game, for one, and they're a simple and effective way to showcase a theme easily and powerfully. Starting to get into the competitive scene with a control deck is a much more daunting task, and putting together an event deck to do that job is no picnic either.
These decks are aimed to be FNM viable.
With Zendikar rotating the only multicolor lands are the M10 Rare Lands their Innistrad enemycolor-variants and the SoM-Duals. All rare lands and these Event Decks hardly contain enough rares to enable a 2-color base without non-rare lands.
We don't even have Terramorphic expanse. So we either have 2-color uncommon lands or 3-color uncommon lands. But a FNM-viable three color manabase is hardly possible with just 2 rare lands + a bunch of 2-color duals.
So I really bet: 3-color wedge lands! Would be the greatest thing beside the fair power level of Innistrad.
Cheers!
If it really is a deck with Birthing Pod as a main focus, mana fixing becomes much less of an issue, since your key card is technically colorless and can fetch creatures of any color. It won't be perfect, but it would go a ways towards helping the deck be FNM-ready.
Of course, if it is a pod deck, you can probably bet that there will only be two actual pods in the deck. Even if this isn't the case, that would mean there will only be three other rares. It's definitely going to need further investment to actually approach playability.
Please, mill me. Mill my important cards. Mill my lands. Mill it all. Because I will still deal 20 damage before you can mill 45 cards most every time.
which one will be 30 dollars and which one will be 15? Guess we have to play the waiting game.
Its probably Pod and the monowhite...is probably monowhite control. I mean O-ring and that new white faceless butcher are in standard. Though who knows we could get 4X Honor the pure and a bunch of white weenies as I think wizards would be prone to do.
@armogohma - Not really... Pod decks use many Uncommons and Commons like Acidic Slime as well... it's not a total rarefest and until pod jumped, it was quite easy to make a cheap Pod deck.
Here I was wondering what people meant by Pod keeping its price down then I saw it's jumped to be a $7-10 card. YIKES!
Ouch. That's quite crazy. They were 1.75 not too long ago. Lame... wish I didn't miss that train! Glad I got my playset though through trading. But BUG...? I wonder if we will get some lands that can pay 3 colors. A wedge deck is kinda hard to play without fetchlands. As of now a lot of mana fixing will be gone. I'm hoping for some useful mana dork or land or this event deck could very well be clogged with rare lands and less than stellar non-lands.

To the people that say that a card needs to be a higher rarity because of Limited... I hate you guys so much. I present to you with this.
We've had rare duals in event decks before. Not full playsets, but a couple of the enemy-duals can go a ways in helping make that deck work, whatever it ends up doing.
Birthing Pod for the BUG one would be good as would Solemn Simulacrum (or how about both?) The mono-White one I'm not too sure about. I can't see what worthwhile rares would go into it (Sun Titan?).
Of course, if it is a pod deck, you can probably bet that there will only be two actual pods in the deck. Even if this isn't the case, that would mean there will only be three other rares. It's definitely going to need further investment to actually approach playability.
I'd guess only 2 Pod, as all the previous Event Decks have had no more than 2 of any rare. I'd also guess a 1x Misty Rainforest and a 1 of Solemn Simulacrum regardless if it's Pod or not for mana fixin'. These will have 7 rares each, so there room for many....many good Pod targets......

a non standard card in a deck intended for standard? good luck with that misty rainforest.
...we know that there is a GUB event deck. There is an image of it in the OP. That isn't a matter of speculation. Whether it's a Pod deck or not, that's speculation. But the colors of the deck aren't in question.

I would assume they might have the BG and UG lands (even if 1x of each)
It will have cards in those colors but not necessarily cards with multiple colors. Just like the UB MBS event deck.
this would be a very nice way to keep Pod's price down. I'll probably buy one if it does include them.

I'd bet on 2 Pod and 1 each of the land fixers (Woodland Cemetary and Hinterland Harbor). Maybe 2 Birds and a couple bad rares.
