Damn good question. It's a week and a day until midnight release. Signups are almost full for all 4 prereleases at my LGS and I would've preferred knowing if Orzhov is going to do anything fun or just have a chase mythic.
Favorite set: Arabian Nights Favorite planeswalker: Taysir, the One Made of Five Favorite book cycle: Ice Age Favorite creature type(s): Elephant (W), Minotaur (R), Shade (B), Spider (G), Cephalid (U) Myr (Artifact) Standard: Gruul Control Modern: American Human Tempo; Zombie Tribal EDH: Aboshan, Cephalid EmperorCube: The Moons of Mirrodin

at best that will be around 40 cards per day. at best. more likely there will be a 100 cards in one splurge.
can't see why wizards "in their infinite wisdom" reckon this is the best way to spoil a set, particularly when we have to choose a guild for the prerelease.

because they don't want you choosing the "best" guild, they want you choosing the one you like.
I would have killed, literally ended someones life, to NOT have Arrogant Bloodlord  riding a giant ant... Good times: Spoiler:

but where DID the other fork come from?

Lord_Zed:
I was at my friends house when this happened. He's married and his wife was an excellent baker. She had baked a homemade apple pie the night before.
I was hungry, and my friend convinced me to try those low carb monster drinks. Before this day, I had never triend energy drinks before.
Boy was I in for a treat.
When I tried that first monster, I really enjoyed the flavor, but the taste that it left in my mouth wasn't so good. What was my solution? Drink another!
before I could finish drinking that 2nd monster, I felt it already kicking in(these drinks were not very far apart, we're talking minutes here) my friend decided that it was a good idea to whip out that fresh pie his wife made the night before. I didn't know what to do, since I felt incredibly invigorated, and at the same time, freaked out by the rush I was feeling, but I was also hungry, and my friend have me an entire plate with a fork and said "help yourself." He extended his saucer to me, and I cut him a piece of the pie and handed it to him, then I looked at the pie, noticed that the pie was in an aluminum holder, and dumped the entire pie onto my plate and started eating it with 2 forks. I don't know where I found that other fork, it probably came from my friend. Anyhow, his wife wasn't happy, and I was already in magical christmas land. 2 days later, I was in my friends bed and I slept for 14 hours.
His wife outlawed my from having any of her baked goods for a while(which sucked because I could just show up at there house, steal some sweets, and leave) and said I couldn't have any energy drinks at her house, unless under close watch.
My friend, on the other hand, had to take me out to a steak dinner, because apparently I won a bet where I climbed a tree and didn't die.
The great land debate:

Zendikar had fetchlands, and Worldwake had manlands. What are the new Scars duals called?
Explosive Peanut Lightning lands. Well, that's just what I call them.
i'm just trying to figure out what the point of saying this is. it's just really random.
And so the pot met the kettle.

I didn't see that being a problem with RTR. And people will still try to change their guild when the cards are spoiled on Monday. Its just that some people, by dint of where they will attend, won't be able to.
In any event, my complaint is mainly that this is a crappy way to spoil cards. today we got 2 cards. Tomorrow and monday we are likely to get over 50 in one hit. WTF? I fail to understand how this is a good thing for anyone.

This. Especially since the majorit of cards are uncommons/rares. Don't get me wrong, those are the cards that get people excited, but they aren't the cards that make up the meat of limited... I'd rather they spoiled a rare/mythic everyday, but fleshed that out with commons at the same time rather than getting a overflow at the end.

I get the idea that having them spoil multiple cards at a time might be possibly more to write about.
However, I still think they should have an accelerrating spoiling roll, where at the very least the last week before the full-spoiler should spoil 2-3 cards at a time per writer. To ease the problem for the columnists to possibly need to write more, probably have them be similar cards of those that have obvious synergies, so they cover more cards quicker rather than the dump-truck of limited chaff at the end.
Hell, they could probably make it interesting, like the spoiling an entire verticle common-uncommon-rare cycle at a time, or make something like a "limited round-up" where 3-6 commons are spoiled in one column, and the thing they share is possibly a color or mechanic.

I like ChaoticVision's idea of multiple spoils per writer, especially a vertical group.

Yeah, I remember the forums being flooded with leaked cards during RTR spoiler season. Looks like they managed to keep things on the DL this time.
