Friends of mine at the LGS already had Theros spoiled for them! They said its awesome, so I can answer any question you have about it.
What exactly are the pack dimensions? Will there be gates? Are the foils easier to get? How long is a game with theros cards in play? Do you like it better than dragons maze?

A) Same. Or different
B) It's complicated.
C) it appears so.
D) it's complicated.
E) some like it, some hate it, some just think it's alright.
Please explain more about question D)
What specifically makes it more complicated?

Well the games are both shorter and longer, and sometimes they're the exact same length.

It consists of many interconnecting parts and elements.

Is there a hydra? I heard hydras are why games become complicated
Fishsticks strikes again..
Pretty sure he hasn't struck anything.
is this an april fool's thing?
April fools has lost its lasting touch

its a roman/Greek themed looking block. I would think hydras would be a given
I feel as though there would also be more soldiers and avatars
Needs more foolings of the month of April.
What are the pack colors?
And also who is the planeswalker??

There will be two. One's a Minotaur! A lot of legendary creatures as well. My cousin has seen the cards, though finals of most of the cards have yet to be set in stone.
Is there possibly a place where we can see these cards

it seems to be a greko-roman block. Obviously the ledgendaries are based off of greko-roman gods. I saw a picture of a card that looked vaugley like Zeus, because it was wielding a celestial looking spear that looked lightning-y at the tip
Edit: I link where I saw it tomorrow. Can't do it today because of piotr's prank
I'm excited for this, I love Greek and Roman Cultures, I wonder what Planeswalkers are going to come out.
MarRo said innistrad and theros had the smoothest play run he has ever been in
MaRo said that the Theros block will end with Jace and Chandra getting married, and Nicol Bolas stealing the baby.
And the baby is turned into Tom Martell's ugly scarf through Nicol's evil draconian magic.
