The following domain options are available to a cleric, in addition to those offered in the Player’s Handbook: Forge and Grave.
The Grave Domain was confirmed on Friday (13 Oct 17) and is already in the OP.
This does show that Cleric will not get a third additional subclass in XGE (unless they edited it to not show a hitherto unconfirmed subclass), helping with conjecture of what else will be in the book beyond what is already confirmed.
Everything was already leaked by BadEye by mistake. It's all up on Reddit if you want to see, I don't want to post it here.
Really hope that the leak isn't true. There is a ton of reprints, sorcerer got none of their elemental archetypes, no tranquility monk. But we got rules for TYING KNOTS.

There were always going to be four reprinted classes (although people assumed Undying Warlock and Arcana domain would be in, not Sun Soul and Mastermind). It's worth considering that "Tying Knots" may be metaphorical and not related specifically to tying knots.

Mastermind? Not Swashbuckler? I suppose that makes sense with the Inquisitive being compared to the Mastermind. I wonder if they're planning to do a pseudo-pirate setting book.

Mastermind and Swashbuckler are both in. There are two new Rogue subclasses and two reprints.

At this point I kind of hope there is an actual page or two dedicated to ROLL TO TIE A WINSOR.
But out of curiosity, why reprint 4 classes that have already been Printed in SCAG? Sun Soul is great if you want to get DBZ fans into DnD, but the Tranquility monk was so overwhelmingly unique it saddens me that it won't see the light of day "officially". Go around hugging orcs into submission.

Tranquility might have tested low, or been considered too similar to the Paladin's Oath of Redemption? There isn't any class-by-class reasoning for what new or reprinted classes are included - just a nebulous suggestion that it's all based on playtest feedback.
The "official" reason for the reprints is to allow for options that aren't tied to the Forgotten Realms specifically. This only makes Sun Soul more confusing, since it's tied to the Sun Soul monastery in FR. The more straightforward reason is to allow characters to be Adventurer's League legal based on the PHB+1 rule (e.g., someone can use the PHB and Xanathar's to create a Hexblade/Storm Sorcerer multiclass for AL). This is part of why people are upset at the Undying Warlock getting the shaft, as they're a mechanically weak subclass already and now have no way of getting the new invocations in AL (to the degree this matters to different people).

No. No PHB 2.

To make AL slightly less painful.

That seems like a weird justification. I guess it makes some sense, but:
A) I wonder just what the percentage of books sold are to people who play AL (I only have anecdata, but my personal anecdata is 0 out of 12 gamers play AL ;) ), and
B) Simply stating "SCAG counts as part of Xanathar's for the Core + 1" like they did with the Tortle Package fixes that problem without re-using page space. Heck, just have "Subclasses This, That, and TheOther count as part of Xanathar's for the Core + 1" if they only want specific subclasses to count. This has the exact same effect on AL with only a single sentence.
So, reprinting them for AL sake makes a little bit of sense if you squint, but thinking more about it, it actually winds up not making any sense at all to me.
There is also another factor which gives a reason to reprint sub-classes in Xanathar's. Not all the community (especially players) has bought SCAG. This is a way to get all the new subclasses in a book only, instead of two. It gives flexibility to the customers.
Yeah wizards already said they would never do that again because it confused too many people new to the game into thinking the first phb was out of date and not needed.

Hey guys. Just wanted to say that this thread is one of the most amazing in the forum. It had a huge influence on me pre-ordering Xanathar's Guide. Just wanted to give a shout out and credit where is was due. Thanks to you all.

I'm glad that I created this thread and thankful for everyone who's pointed out things to which I was ignorant and/or added his or her insights to the discussion.
I am still super curious about what Racial Feats made it and how they may have gotten edited. I just started playing AL with my wife and specifically limited myself to stuff from the PHB so I won't have to rebuild when XGE comes out.

So 10 more subclasses for videos, assuming they're doing videos on reprints, right? Maybe they already have done videos on some of the reprints, I don't always remember which are reprints without checking.
