I think it's time to hop off the hype train and start to be realistic. Odds are this is going to be nowhere as groundbreaking/game-changing/life-affirming as MaRo thinks it's going to be. Better to prepare now and avoid disappointment later. It's the same attitude I'm taking towards the power level of Khans block.
We already effectively have confirmation that Khans power level will be lower than any of the recent sets. On the other hand, MaRo seems to be continually stating that he's not overhyping it, and that it's really that big of a deal. We'll see tomorrow if he really has any idea what he's talking about.

Source? We've seen a very small handful of cards, unless there's something I'm missing or forgetting this is essentially baseless speculation.

Because a couple of Duel Deck cards, which are purposefully made to be the weaker cards so as not to ruin the hype of seeing the cool cards) is complete indication than Khans is Magic's suicide set. Honestly, unless you have a place where it's obvious we have weaker cards coming to us, saying Speed vs Cunning is the top of the power level for KTK is just trolling. Heroes vs Monsters didn't define what cards would be top tier, nor did Izzet vs Golgari (which had the two weakest guilds of RTR being featured on purpose, might I add).
They changed the update time to 11 EST about two weeks after the site change in an effort to make it more friendly to international visitors.
Nice, so about an hour until we find out
No. We find out on Monday. That's tomorrow. Monday at 11 EST. That's in about 13 hours.
You're forgetting to say the AM part is the problem. I know this is correct military term wise but most people when hearing 11 will remember 11 PM from how long WotC did it like that.

It's 11 AM not PM
There's also the previously stated fact that 11 PM tonight is not Monday, but yes, it was my fault for failing to be specific enough.
I'm actually hoping this isn't Khans related. Considering we are getting KTK spoilers in about a week, I'd rather have some different big MTG related news.
Can I just take this time to reiterate the popular sentiment that I HATE the new website. the layout makes no sense, the timing of spoilers is super lame now. waiting at night with people for spoilers as a past time is just gone. used to be a blast
and the ******* thing works awful on mobile. WTF wtf wtf

Wha...? This has nothing to do with Duel Decks. It has everything to do with Sam Stoddard's article from a little over a week back that said that creature removal options will be fewer and farther between so that they can lower the power level of creatures so that they won't have to design a creature with a great ETB effect or with Hexproof just to make it playable. This means creatures are less powerful on the whole, and that games will be slower. He also basically says that reprinting Thoughtseize was a mistake and it was too powerful for Standard.
