For the sealed deck format, we will play Rise of the Eldrazi and summon some astral monstrosities to annihilate each other with, though we will incorporate a slight twist and preview our new sealed format.

preview our new sealed format.
Anyone? Seems to me it's a rumor until they tell us something more.

Tarmogoyf has no evasion, yet it sees tonnes of play. What makes this any different?
New sealed format? It could be some kind of official cube or the type of draft where every card from a set is draftable (what's the name of that again?) Anyway, new formats are always fun. Whatever it is, it will surely be interesting.
Community Cup is a Magic Online yearly thing. The "new format" is (likely) merely a gimmick for the players in that tournament, much like what happened in the old Invitational events. In fact, the Community Cup is pretty much the online version of the Invitational.

It might be mini-master; I can't see it being pack wars. I don't think it would be open 2 packs, draft 2 packs because that'd end up being more like draft than not.
Since it's described as a "Sealed" format instead of a "Limited" format, it probably just involves opening some number of packs. Since there's already 6-pack sealed, I'd assume that this is either: a) Sealed with more or fewer packs, or b) 6-pack Sealed with variant deckbuilding/gameplay rules.

Those aren't sealed - those are draft. Both are "Limited" formats, but they're distinct. There's already a draft in the Community Cup.
It's minimaster. Previewed at PAX.
2-pack sealed, start at 30 life, 1 game per match, $10 MSRP.
This is not a sanctioned or supported format, it's something TJ Collectables does independent of WotC. (I've judged for them so I know the employees pretty well, and this is coming from them) It is a really fun format though and would be cool if it caught on.
I love the half draft-half sealed idea. I think 2 packs Sealed and 2 packs Draft would be a nice balance.
"Side effects may include: dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, water retention, painful rectal itch, hallucination, dementia, psychosis, coma, death, and halitosis. Magic is not for everyone. Consult your doctor before use."
I'm personally hoping it's CYOS.
The limiting factor is going to be the V3 client; since all the CCC events are going to take place from within the client, WOtC will have to be able to program whatever the new format is.
Archenemy isn't sealed. It's a precon with 20 scheme cards...it's basically the raid kits from the WoW card game. Also, Minimasters, for those confused, is better known as Kamikaze.

you open six boosters, choose one of them, and pass the other 5.
OR
semi draft/sealed.
you open 3 booster, then draft 1 or 2 (not sure about that one)

That would be so awesome.
You have a base going into the draft. It sounds excellent.
How you should approach every game of Magic.

Agreed. This would actually be pretty awesome.
You get 2 packs and have to make a deck out of just the 2 packs? That doesn't sound right. How big would those decks be?

Unlikely - that would be expensive to support and just doesn't make sense.

Don't they already support 2HG and Emperor sealed? I'd love to see those more frequently, but neither is 'new'.
Fyi, Rochester drafts can still be had at your LGS. Wizards just doesn't run them any more because of time constraints.
A new format sounds awesome. Draft can be very difficult for newer players and sealed is often too luck based. I hope this will solve that.

But yeah, I'm interested on the details of this format.
LOL
This is probably my favorite idea so far.
Also, Minimaster sounds terrible.
