Didn't see these deck lists anywhere else. So I did some mining after I saw this. "Bringing Legacy to the Masses
The Magic Online Deck Series will be released on November 8 at 9:00 AM PST (17:00 UTC). Designed for Legacy format games, the new "Boltslinger" and "Exiler" decks are fast enough to give any deck a run for its money. Each deck comes with a ready-to-play 60-card deck, a 15-card sideboard, and 2 Event Tickets."

Prices for both decks are going to be $29.99
Was posted on the main magic online forums a little bit ago. Figured you all would want to know.

Magic Online Deck Series Available Wednesday!
After a slight delay, the Magic Online Deck Series will be available on November 11 after our scheduled downtime is complete. Check out the product page (which should be available very soon) for more details.
So Burn and Death and Taxes as pre-cons online? Wish they would do paper pre-cons half as good.
Also if they want to "bring Legacy to the masses" Wizards needs to nut up and reprint Force of Will in both paper and online versions. A cute meta deck (D&T) and a tier 3 deck that folds to tons of common sideboard hate aren't doing much but growing a Legacy underclass.
Price point? If this is any indication of what the Standard prebuilts are going to look like, we're in for a treat! I like the D&T one... Being a casual MTGO player, it might be enough to get me to actually play "real" events.
Holy crap, that burn deck is only 7-8 cards different from mine IRL...
Any word on how much these will cost?? I imagine it being $30+ due to the plethora of $5+ cards in there.
EDIT: After making a quick excel sheet, neglecting lands, The burn deck would cost $69.48 if bought from MTGO Traders, and D&T would cost $65.34. They must be putting these at ~1/2 price or better to even get a chance of people to buy them

Even if WoTC decided to ignore the reprint policy, I would imagine that paper equivalents of these two would be quite expensive (Chain Lightning, Karakas, Jitte, Vial, etc.)

Sadly I didn't see the price in the data I discovered . To the best of my knowledge WOTC hasn't released a price yet, but it could be out there on the internet in some obscure post.
These are fantastic! I really hope people support these and products like them in the future, they are great value products and get more people playing more varied formats. Of course, I can see the red one outselling the white one 10-1, but still

Forever known, whenever said, ancient rhyme, forgotten dead.
It would be really nice to see similar products in the physical realm also. I know they are somewhat hamstrung by the reprint policy (no duals...) but several decks that are actually competative could be made absent duals.
I'm thinking something like Zoo, Merfolk, Goblins, maybe Stax (I don't know how much of stax is rare or on the reserve list.)
Heck, if WotC can get some of the power uncommons out there and more readily accessible I'd be stoked.
Edit: I just noticed that the White one has 18 rares in it, and the Red one has 4 rares in it. I wonder if they will have the same price point?
The white one has 25 rares in it (at least using online rarities).
I'd expect to see these between $25 and $35, as any more than that and your out-pricing your target audience. Most likely they will both be the same price though.
Though there are very popular cards in there, I find both of these decks very boring! No creativity, no thematic elements, no originality! I also hate that Jitte is in there. That card is so stupid.
Really interesting concept, I hope this is something they explore more. It's also interesting this is hitting MTGO first. It'd make sense if that's the route they're going for product testing- release online first, and then in paper if it sells well. I don't play on MTGO, but this is still a pleasant surprise.
And a little off topic, but wow- are those MTGO screenshots? I'm surprised at how awkward the cards look. Maybe I'm too used to MWS with card scans.

Looking at those two lists briefly I don't see anything on the reserved list.
