The pre-releases are normally held two weekends before the release date (nine days, in other words).

Bleh. I'm patiently awaiting more spoiler info, but there's less than one month before the pre-release, and we have less than a dozen cards.

That's okay, I've decided that the less I know the more exciting it is!
BTW, I've been to every pre-release since Exodus, wha-hooey!

Devastating Dreams
RR
Sorcery
As an additional cost to play Devastating Dreams, discard X cards at random from your hand.
Devastating Dreams deals X damage to each creature and player. Each player sacrifices X lands.
Ichorid
Black, cost unknown
Creature--Unknown
3/1
Haste
At the end of any turn, sacrifice Ichorid.
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may remove a black creature card in your graveyard other than Ichorid from the game. If you do, return Ichorid to play.
Also, this card is said to be an enchantment, but due to the name and similar structure to Devastating Dreams, I believe that it could be an instant. Casting cost is probably WW, and the discard is probably random.
Vengeful Dreams

As an additional cost to play Vengeful Dreams, discard X cards from your hand.
Remove X target attacking creatures from the game.
There is also a structure for a new cycle of enchantments, one for each color.

Tainted Field, Tainted Wood, Tainted Isle, and Tainted Peak are the names of the extra lands, for W, G, U, and R in that order.
Faceless Butcher, Plagiarize, Fiery Temper, Radiate, Cabal Coffers, Chainer Dementia Master, Basking Rootwalla, Laquatus' Champion, Major Teroh, and Sengir Vampire are all confirmed by InQuest, though the Sengir is an indirect reference.

Gurzigost

Also, Olle Rade's new card is mentioned. "It'll be in Judgment. If it was a black card, we'd have put it in Torment, but it's green." --Charlie Rose.
