MTG origins pre-release tournements
Limited forum

I am new to magic and am confused by the wording of the upcoming MTG Origins pre-release tournament.
They ask you to choose a planeswalker. Is this because your sealed deckbuilding pack will contain that planeswalker (which seems awesome) or is it because the planeswalker just represent the colour of cards they will give you in your pack.
The promo will be one of several different cards but it will be in the colour you chose.
You will get 5 or 6 random boosters and 1 single booster that will contain only cards in the colour you chose.

Apparently it's the 6 boosters, and then the 1 7 card seeded booster. I'm a fan of this

You get 6 regular Origins packs and 1 7 card seeded booster containing one of seven foil date stamped rares from the color you chose, or a foil date stamped flip walker from the color you chose. There are also 6 other cards in the seeded that help you build a deck in the color you chose. Build a 40-card deck, and use it to play, your cards not in your deck are your sideboard.

I'm so happy that they changed back to six packs PLUS a promo card. 7 rares is always better than the 6 we were getting during Khans block.

Does anybody know what the contents of the seeded pack will be yet?

1 of 7 rares or the flipwalker of the chosen color is the date-stamped foil, that's it though.
July 7, 2015 12:09 p.m.
So we don't know what any of the 7 chosen rares are yet?

Okay so there is a possibility of getting a planeswalker but I should regard it as unlikely.
July 7, 2015 1:22 p.m.
It's as likely as opening a Mythic in any other pack... 1 in 8.
Only with these seeded packs it's 1 in 8 for the expected PW, rather than 1 in 8 for a random Mythic... So your chances of getting one of these specific flip-walkers is much greater with these seeded packs than it is in a regular booster.

It's just the represent the color. You'll choose whatever color you deem the best to build on, then go from there.
I think the promos are going to follow the same format as DTK did, where the promo is just one of several different cards.
