The names of a few of the flip cards on the checklist strongly hints at some of them not being creatures. Specifically "Neglected Heirloom", "Autumnal Gloom" and "Skin Invasion", though those last two might just be strange elemental creatures.
Well, the Heirloom sounds like an artifact, which is nothing we've never seen before with Elbrus from the original Innistrad. I feel like the other two may be enchantments, however, which is interesting.
There was also the Chalice that was an artifact along with the blue flyer that turned into a mind control when it did damage.
I find it scary that people actually support leaks and think of Wizards as someone who needs to grow a pair.
Why? WotC blasted the fans for the leaks last time, this is just their just desserts. We like leak season. A lot more than we do navigating their terribly designed website for a breadcrumb of spoilers.

They "blasted" the fans last time because people need to understand that leaks are a bad thing which is my point.
I like to make short-films for instance and having a person leak it would be horrible for me. Sure it may just be a stupid movie but it´s something I and others have put a lot of effort into. Having someone leaking stuff must be so frustrating for Wizards as they put time and engery into their work.
Take last time for instance. Instead of different articles going up on their website showing awesome cards they had to change it to show some crappy token cards. That must have been really fun
Seriously. I think I'm going to love SoI but Jace is going to become even more valuble. They really, really need to reprint him. Luckily a Jace deck is not completely dominating standard like CawBlade(and no, Rally is not dominant but merely a very good deck taking advantage of a slower meta) but I do eventually want to play a Jeskai, Esper or even Izzet deck with Jace in it but I'm not going to mortgage my house to do it in Standard.
One thing that some are overlooking however. With all this discard stuff and graveyard being so big...might it be time for a Rest in Peace(or slightly weaker) reprint? You have to know a graveyard set is bound to have graveyard hate or discard hate like "when a player discards a card, that player must pay 2cmc" or something. Khans had Anafenza, OotG has Kalitas...it's time for an enchantment that smack Jace in the face for his looting ways.

Wizards does need to grow a pair. Even if they spoiled the entire set, it wouldn't harm them to much of a noticeable degree, other than just to rustle some jimmies.
I think leaks of this size are fine. Nothing that major sure, it does soil a few mechanics and some very vague lore tidbits, but it isn't basically all of the mythics like last time. I think anything like that is certainly directly harmful to hype building for spoiler season.

If they designed a set with fun cards we'll like it and be hyped for it even if it's spoiled months in advance. If however the set is bland and boring....we'll still play it but sales might be a hair lower.
After a 'bad' set release I get bored and do other things. If there's one or two cards I want from the set I'll wait until well after the release to pick them up.
If a spoiled set has tons of awesome stuff I want pretty bad I get SUPER HYPED until release and then I hit the prerelease.
So if they designed a good set they have nothing to worry about, if anything I'd argue that the spoilers help.

I enjoy spoilers, but I can't help but feel that in principle we really should support honesty in this community. I just read of a guy who bought the leaked booster cards for 20 Euros and I feel like 20 euros -or any price really- is a cheap cost for one's integrity.
But I suppose I'm what would be considered an old-fashioned man....

Wizards. listen. The Vorthos community will await the consequences of the Eldrazi Titans' deaths/sealing. We will keep the watch.

Delirium is also pretty cool, kinda reminds me of threshold. Could see it being pretty big in modern if there are good cards with it given how easy it is to get 4 types in the graveyard.
I like the 1 mana counter though from what I can think right now apart from wrecking scapeshift it doesn't seem great in modern.
Fingers crossed flashback also comes back. Even though it's been seen several times before it's one of my favourites.

And if it would be financially damaging to you if it leaked, you would take some measures to protect it rather than taking it out on your viewers, no?
It is WotC's responsibility to handle this stuff in an appropriate and pr friendly manner, which they have failed miserably as of late.
They could very easily print a new goyf as a 1G, 0/1 creature that gets +4/+4 when Delirium is active. It would be just as strong as the average goyf, require the same amount of cards in the graveyard to be a 4/5 as goyf, has a lower overall power level due to capping out at 4/5. Would it be a strong two drop? Absolutely. Would they be apprehensive to print it for fear of being tarmo 5-8 in modern? Probably. But for standard it would be fine. We already have a 1G vigilance 4/5 goyf sized fellow in standard. So a worse goyf could theoretically be printed here.
Goyf is only good because it sees both graveyards. Delerium version would be terrible outside of standard.

So if the Origins was 000 why not do that for SOI or why not CHK I think the addition of a number means there is a second checklist card.

It would seem like that, though the Black could've purely come from Nicol Bolas' influence.
Jace, Vryn's Prodigy was already unhealthy for Standard and now it'll will get even worse unless they ban him.

Reality is only what man allows it to be. Few shape it so that many may accept it.

I play Standard, EDH, and a very tiny bit of Modern.
