Someone on a Chinese forum claimed he've opened a fat pack.
He got:
Ral Zarek
Godless Shrine
Azorius champion
Boros champion
Possibility Storm Skylasher 2cmc (Rare) Green Spider 2/2 Flash, can't be countered, reach, protection from blue Renegade Krasis 3cmc (Rare) Green Beast Mutant 3/2 Evolve, Whenever ~ evolves, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control with +1/+1 counters on it Scion of Vitu-Ghazi (Rare) 5cmc 4/4 White elemental When ~ enters the battlefield, if you cast ~ from your hand, put a 1/1 white Bird token with flying onto the battlefield, then populate. Reap Intellect (Mythic) Sorcery X2UB Target opponent reveals hand, you choose X non-land cards from among them. Search that player's library, hand and graveyard for cards with the same name of those cards and exile them. Then that player shuffles library.
Edit: I've tried to get some more information since the screenshot looks like a famous otaku forum in China (saraba1st). When I visited the site, it says it's closed under maintenance.
Renegade Krasis was already known. If that's the last mythic ... it's pretty bad. Slaughter Games seems strictly better. Skylasher, though, will see lots of play. Too bad there aren't a lot of blue creatures that see play.
Yeah someone spoiled the last Dimir mythic earlier but the cost was wrong. Glad that it's actually better than originally spoiled. It was XXBU, X2BU is a little better.
Really like the Scion! Getting a pair of them for my Séance deck! Also very good with the */* token as it gives you three creatures.
The Skylasher is an odd one, but hey, more control hosing! Would have been amazing if Delver was still a thing, but he is in older formats, so who knows?
The mythic is... Too similar to Slaughter Games...
Wow that skylasher has a lot of abilities on it with a lot hate on blue. The Dimir Mythic seems ok maybe constructed playable as you can remove multiple possible threats but if they haven't drawn those threats yet it's pretty underwhelming in my opinion. How did he/she even have access to a fat pack this early?
Scion will see play just like Blade Splicer saw play ... it's a way to get a lot of bodies out for relatively cheap (though not as cheap as Splicer). Even better if you have a Beast Token or Wurm Token (or Voice of Resurgence elemental) on the battlefield. Too bad it's not blinkable at all.
The big difference being that with slaughter Games, unless you Gitaxian Probe them, you're guessing... Here, they reveal their hand, then you choose.
This is of course strong against a lot of blue stuff (kill counterspells, Snapcasters, etc.) but exactly those decks will have strong countermeasures. If this had the uncounterable clause like Slaughter Games, it would be quite ridiculous.
I guess the Dimir fans will continue complaining...
The complaining will continue until the cards improve.

Far and Away their field during their end step, bouncing a Thrag or something else impressive, saccing another of their creatures. During your turn drop a land, tap six so x=2 for Reap. You will, for sure, hit their Thrag. Plus you get to Lobotomize something else.
Slaughter Games you know their deck and might hit a card out of hand, here you're Duressing them and then insulting them on top of it. Which is better varies by circumstances.

Yeah, I guess you are right.
Still, the card is as good as your opponent's hand. I guess less decks will be wrecked by this than by Slaughter Games, but it is much more maindeckable, so who knows?
In the same way you can tell someone is from the XVIII century because he is arroused by ankles, you can tell someone is from USA because he feels nipples disturbing.
So if these are real, should I preorder a playset of Reap Intellect for my Esper Control, or should I wait a week after release where hopefully the price plummets?
It just seems like an insane control card against midrange, control, and combo decks......That is, if it is real.

I count nine cards.

Pretty sure it does, it wouldn't make much sense otherwise.

Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)
