4. For RTR & GTC prereleases, you choose a guild. You will then get a guild prerelease pack – a box w/ 5 RTR packs & 1 guild booster.

5. Return to Ravnica will have 2 planeswalkers, one of which is Jace. Gatecrash will also have 2 planeswalkers, one of which is Gideon.

6. RTR & GTC will each have 5 guild leaders, two-color mythic rare legendary creatures.

7. Azorius: Isperia, sphinx Rakdos: Rakdos, demon Selesnya: Trostani, dryad triumvirate Izzet: Niv-Mizzet, dragon Golgari: Jarad, elf zombie.
