Here's what I got in my box for my work this coming weekend. I put them in numerical order and left a spot where I didn't have the card, so the number crunchers can go to town.

Invincible Hymn is no longer broken. Hooray!

Spell Snip is not a joke?

Holy crap, they made BEARS? WTH?

This is an awesome tool to get a jump on the pre-release this weekend, Thanks!

There's a one-drop with Exalted!

Man, I was hoping I could draft that archetype but I needed the 1/1 for one. Hadn't heard about him yet.

EDIT: Excommunicate is planeshifted Time Ebb? I had it on this block's OTHER Pacifism variant to complement O-Ring. Cool.
EDIT: So Glaze Fiend is Vermiculos meets Nim Shrieker? Might be an archetype THERE too. I mean, obviously, shard themes, but we're talking full-blown archetype here.
EDIT: Oh look, they obsoleted Grizzly Bears with an Elf Scout. Also, I don't like the look of red at ALL. Look at its bodies at common, and how many have one toughness!
EDIT: Sigil Blessing looks interesting. Nice pump spell. That is gonna blow SO many people out.

White Time Ebb? Yeah, I was also highly interested in 'Excommunicate' when I saw the name, Seeker after Chaos. I thought, though, that it would be very special, too special for a pacifism variant, since 'excommunicate' is such a cool and white-evocative word.

Also, loving the joke on Bant Battlemage.

Why the heck can't Invincible Hymn just say "Your life total becomes (equal to) the number of cards in your library"? I mean obviously you have to count it.

ooh, cool plot info on Knight of the Skyward Eye. Also, better than spoiled.

Gustrider Exuberant is good.

Ok, after seeing these scans (awesome work, parkmania), I'm convinced that Shards is the worst set since Champions.

Seriously. They made freaking bears. It could even have a meaningless keyword, like trample or vigilance, but noo, they made an identical copy to Grizzly Bears.
