There are bound to be tons of questions for this set and well here's a helpful thing to help with those questions, some of them may be on the new double faced cards, some on the new morbid ability, some even on cards that get +1/+1 counters when damage is dealt, all of em are pretty much answered at this following link.
Innistrad Basics and Frequently Asked Questions ---> Innistrad FAQ
"But vergil, what if i control a morbid card like Festerhide Boar and it entered the battlefield this turn" You might ask well it's simple, morbid will check to see whether a creature has died this turn, if a creature died before you played Festerhide Boar then yes it will enter the battlefield with a +2/+2 boost and become a 5/5 instead of it's usual 3/3 status with trample.
"How come Flashback is only at instant and sorcery speed?" Well it's due to the fact flashback is a spell mechanic and it was featured back in Odyssey and Time Spiral block a long time ago, the flashback cost only comes into play when the spell is in your graveyard, but it also follows the typical timing restrictions of Sorceries and Instants, as long as the flashback card you wanna play is a Instant speed spell then it can be played at any such time during your opponent's turn.
"What does it mean when i play a curse?" A curse works like any other enchantment aura, but it targets players instead of creatures, then applies the spell restriction to the player until either A) The player is defeated or B) The curse is destroyed via a enchantment removal spell like Naturalize but in all cases curses work like any other spell, but it's the first time in recent memory a spell can target a player and stay attached to said player.
"What's with the fight mechanic and how does it work?" "Fight" as it is referred to is a special outside of combat ability it fights with another creature and the creature that is fighting fights with it, dealing damage equal to their power simultaneously to each other for example if a spell like Prey Upon has a creature you control such as a Abattoir Ghoul and forces you to fight a Bloodline Keeper first strike damage would not apply in this case, instead the ghoul deals 3 damage to the keeper and 2 damage is dealt via the keeper to the ghoul killing both of them, outside of combat, combat abilites such as First Strike and Double Strike do not apply to this new term and aren't used during that particular term, at least that's how i understand it from the oracle update to the rules in regards to fight.
For the remainder of the rules and oracle text, i suggest you follow that link i placed above the questions some people may end up asking, now onto the intro packs of the set which are quite a few
