Rob Heinsoo on the Giants of Legend poster

From Rob Heinsoo on the Wizards boards:

I believe the posters are going to go out right around the time the set releases.

That way we get to tease you with promo articles that actually show things you haven't seen.

And you get to hunt down weird leaks we didn't expect that let you learn about minis we hadn't planned on revealing. Ahem.

We want to show off a lot of the set, to let people know the stuff that is coming. But we also prefer to keep some of the set secret, so that even die-hard information hunters such as yourselves get to be surprised when you open a box and find something you had no idea was in the set.

Yeah, we do realize that many people would like to see everything right away, but we prefer the fun of revealing about half the set and making half of the set a surprise.

Given some of the stuff that is not yet revealed, GoL is an interesting test of our ability to keep a secret.
