Like with Worldwake, the Game Day page seems to have been ninja-updated with the RoE information, including promo information.
All participants receive a Staggershock promo card (while supplies last). The top 8 players each receive an exclusive Deathless Angel full-art promo card. The cards are awarded to the Top 8 players even if the tournament cuts only to the top 4. Two Deathless Angel promo cards will also be awarded as door prizes at each location.
I wonder if Deathless Angel will have an alternate art picture... and if she'd still be bloated.
Heheh, if she's slender in the alternate art, comparing the two arts side-by-side would be kind of like seeing Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson in their glory days versus their "bigger" years.
Awesome!
Any clue what staggershock does?
1r: 2 damage to target creature or player, Rebound
maybe?
Wow, that sounds exactly what it could be. Except at that level it sounds like a common to me, and wouldn't it suck to get a common just for participating in a tourney?:-/

Now that I think about it, even as an uncommon, that'd be too powerful.
more likely that it'll be 2r for the above text,
Or something bad like
R: 1 damage to target creature or player, Rebound.
I'm hoping for the 2R and the above text. (Compare to char)

The Zendikar Game Day participation was Nissa's Chosen with alternate art, so not exactly unheard of.
Worldwake was Hada Freeblade with expanded art only, so either are possible.
RR: Destroy target artifact or Enhantment. Rebound.
Red is bad at enchantment removal, so not so much. Rebound on that type of effect really doesn't strike me as being very effective or logical. And the cost is a bit low. 1RR seems more likely. And at instant speed? 2RR.

For R we have Bolt, for RR we have Searing Blaze, for RRR we have Flame Javelin, and for 2R we have Char. Seeing as these spells should be less expensive than their "all at once" counterparts (Monstrous Growth and Prey's Vengeance), it's more likely to be 1R for 2 damage and Rebound as opposed to your weaker version.

1R for 2 damage and rebound is not too powerful. It's two shocks over two turns, which is right at the curve. Your 1R version would be way too weak. Unless your opponent is playing elves there is very little reason to deal one damage twice over two turns. Your 2R version is overcosted.
Recent discussions here and elsewhere have made it clear that there seems to be a group of players who consider blue and control synonymous, as if they somehow started playing a game with four identical and "bad" colors that do nothing interesting because they just "turn men sideways" and then true, glorious blue, the only thinking person's color.

If it delas 2 damage it will be like that:
Staggershock 2R
Staggershock deals 2 damage on target creature or player. Rebound
I think 1Ris compledtely reasonably costed for 2 damage (4 over two turns). with lightning bolt reprinted and burst lightning, it's clear the class of burn has gone beyond incinerate and shock.

So that explains why the art on Deathless angel looks so bad, they've got a special promo version.

It does not, but the art on Deathless Angel that we've seen is not designed for the full-art card. Therefore they're going to have different art, which just like Emrakul, the good art is on the promo, the bad art is on the card everyone else gets.

Well shock was a common so shock over two turns is completely reasonable for a single red at uncommon. Especially looking at it next to the black one. They would be about even.
Black= +4 +0 and double deathtouch
Red= 4 damage 2 at instant and 2 during next upkeep.
Look at the black spell with rebound. 1 black for +2 and deathtouch. Twice. It is probably just what it sounds like
R instant. Deals 2 damage to target creature or player. Rebound
and as a promo it sounds good
enough to be rare. Why would they give uncommons and commons as promos. Who would bother. I wouldn't.
game day participation ones are common/uncommon, and so are FNM ones.
also, that'd be absolutely nuts. it's like rift bolt++, and would either constantly be a two for one or turn red into 8bolt.dec. I'm not saying it's impossible, but just that it'd definately be a rare given how above the curve that is.
Take your monoblack deck, then set aside 14 swamps. Add 4 Creeping Tar Pits, 4 Darkslick Shores, 4 Drowned Catacombs, and 2 Jwar isle Refuge and add 4 Jace, the Mindsculptors. Your monoblack deck is instantly better. Better yet, drop those refuges, throw in some islands and some mana leaks, and lo and behold, you're now playing a real deck. Congratulations. Welcome to the world of competitive M:TG.
Hopefully Staggershock itself deals damage to creatures or players because that in itself is an amazing storm count addition

Staggershock 1R
Instant
~ Deals 2 damage to target creature, that creature deals no combat damage this turn. (Or can't block, that seems more red)
I approve of this design
This would be awesome.

It's usually uncommon/common... Hada Freeblade and Nissa's Chosen. I also remember way back it was Urza's Factory and Imperious Perfect.
Black= +4 +0 and double deathtouch
Red= 4 damage 2 at instant and 2 during next upkeep.
