Looks like we are getting a really short spoiler season this time: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/a ... 2020-03-26

April 2 – Ikoria Debut, trailer launch, (7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET/2 p.m. UTC) and the start of previews
April 10 – Last day of previews
April 16 – Ikoria released on Magic: The Gathering Arena and Magic Online
April 17 – Prerelease/release in Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong
May 15 – Prerelease/release in North America, Europe, Latin America, and Australia/New Zealand

9 days of spoilers (shortest I believe for a normal set) means we can expect this forum to be busy starting April 2. Am a little surprised nothing has leaked out, yet.

Nothing remotely legit, anyways

This is good now we can actually do Ikoria pre-release the normal way

Anyway hard to believe they can do 300+ cards in 1 week but on the other hand since everyone is stuck at home they have more time to do it

I'm assuming it will go like this:
Most of the notable cards are in the rare and mythic slots, spoiling 1-2 mythics and 5-6 rares a day will do the trick (add a bunch of uncommons).
In the main set there will probably be 15 mythics and around 53 rares.

The commander decks will probably be fully spoiled in a single go, instead of trickle spoiled a few cards at a time.

The last day we will have the big dump of draft chaff (like usual).

On the stream yesterday they said Commander Spoilers would be Friday-Monday (yes weekend spoilers).

That's... more than a whole deck per day
.... wow

Damn, I thought NZ would be grouped with Asia. Maybe I could fly to HK and prerelease twice...

Funny thing I should mention

The April 17th prerelease

Funny enough that's where the kaijus always end up being in nearly every film

There's gonna be a massive amount of spoilers in a short time.

I haven't really done any prereleases online before but I guess I'll have to

Preview Schedule has been released:
https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/a ... 2020-03-31

Pretty much half the set will be previewed from Friday to Sunday, wow! I don't think we've ever had such a massive preview of cards in an expansion set in such a short time.

IIRC they said that the weekend is labeled as Commander Weekend and the main previews will be the C20 decklists

My guess is April 2 we will get the mechanics article, 1-2 walkers, 2-3 more mythics with the mechanics, 5-10 rares, and several commons and uncommons.

That and whatever the box toppers are

Given the rapid rate at which these spoilers will occur and the short spoiler period, do you think a Name and Number Crunch is worth it for Ikoria?

Ok today ismpreview season day who's ready to see giant monsters

Hoping against hope that Ikoria will actually feature angels...

If it is not too much of a hassle, it is a nice thing to have.
Even if it is just updated at the end of the day and not in "real time".

I can work on that
