Portal Three Kingdoms

Greetings. A quick question about two Portal cards. Current Oracle
texts (Gatherer export):

Champion's Victory
U
Sorcery
Play Champion's Victory only during the declare attackers step and only
if you are the defending player.
Return target attacking creature to its owner's hand.

Heavy Fog
1G
Sorcery
Play Heavy Fog only during the declare attackers step and only if you
are the defending player.
Prevent all damage that would be dealt to you by attacking creatures
this turn.

Will these cards be changed into instants? Or are they considered too
powerful that way?

I'm hoping someone will give the Portal and Starter cards a thorough
going-over in Oracle _before_ they actually all become tournament-legal soon...

Both of these may end up as Instants, or may stay Sorceries-that-tell-you-to-
play-them-at-odd-time, I don't know.

If they were changed into instants they'd still have the when-you-can-play-
them restriction, so I don't think the power level is in question...
