RIX store championships will be held between 4/2-8/4, so we're at least two weeks away. We'll get to know the promo soon enough as the kits start arriving at participating stores
I praised how WOTC handled the leak after reading Blake's post. This time around, I can't say the same. This pendulum of saying they'll kick off Dominaria today and letting us wait and get excited, just to find out the plans have changed AGAIN is just ridiculous. I'm not a fan of this system at all. Bad move.
If legendary permanents do end up receiving a special frame, it most likely to start with a new Standard-legal sets rather than a Master set (Dominaria). The upcoming Duel Deck is the very last one so previewing the special frame in it would be a suitable outlet.
Chalice as a mythic feels like a slap in the face. In MM13 it was fine as a rare (Mirrodin was pre-mythic era) but these days it must get upgraded. Not cool.
Using Beleren font for Dominaria's set logo seems very lazy. Where is the unique design? This font have been taking over as the logo for 99% of the supplemental sets (Commander, Explorers of Ixalan, FTV, Master sets and even MTG Origins) and seems like all upcoming products will use it as well (looking at the upcoming products section on the mothership and given they're not just placeholders, which I believe they are not). It is a great font, but in a game where art and visuals play very big roles, this seems like a step back and not forward.

WOTC has heard and listened. FNM promos are going back to being real cards from Standard legal sets. The shift back starts with Dominaria. Go Opt FNM promo!
On topic - this layout is weird.

looks like Karn, the Preacher. Very robotic. I'm not sure what to make of it
