    M2011

    So, I just heard (yeah, I'm slow on news) that M2011 will be released this summer. Are they now printing core sets annually?

    Do you think this is a good chance to see some much needed Legacy reprints, such as Tarmogoyf?

    What cards do you hope they will realistically reprint, keeping in mind this will be Standard legal?

    Clicky

    Another part of our plan to keep the core set relevant is that it will be refreshed every year, not every other year. Doing a core set every year will preclude us from doing other fourth sets, like Eventide, Coldsnap, and Unhinged and will give us a much more structured and predictable release schedule of three expert-level expansions and one core set each year.
    If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably delicious.

    Anyway, so, got anything you'd like to see reprinted?

    I'm sure Path to Exile will probably be reprinted to keep cash flow in.

    That or I can dream, a 3rd Swords effect would be great

    Can't say I would mind seeing goyf reprinted. Type 2 with goyf was pretty silly, but not nearly as bad as it is today or in the time of faeries or affinity. I still think 4 sets a year is just stupid, but WotC has 1 interest and that is to make as much money as possible. That is why the game is being marketed to yugioh players.

    See, what they should do is print Tarmogoyf and Bane$layer as the set's premiere mythics, thereby insuring themselves millions of dollars in revenue as people the world over desperately struggle to open the cards they need four of to compete in Standard, but just can't find.

    Baneslayer will be reprinted, that's for sure

    Re: M2011

    I really couldn't care less about reprints as they have no effect on Legacy, other than the rise and fall of prices, but who cares, right?

    But I'm all for some new flavorful cards. Djinn of Wishes was awesome, I hope they print more of these kinds of things, and odds are they will :)

    I think Tarmogoyf would be a pretty safe reprint at this point, especially since it would only be legal for a little over a year. Something needs to be done at any rate, or both Extended and Legacy will implode on themselves.

    I really want to see that signature again with the "39-land-and-4-goyf.dec, Goyfstill," and all those decks. Pretty hilarious, but so true at this point.

    I'm hoping they reprint Wildfire, or at least Tectonic Break or Thoughts of Ruin. I like blowing shit up.

    They could also reprint the Dreams from Torment, which would make many aspects of playing control more interesting in Standard. I know the core sets are supposed to be for beginners, but I feel like the last couple have been (with a couple exceptions) painfully simplistic. I'd like to see a couple cards in there that people have to consider before/while using.

    Re: M2011

    You can pretty much count on the set having enough expensive cards (read: Walletslayer Angel) to make it frustratingly difficult to play some standard once in a while, but not have any legacy cards that make it worth drafting/buying.

    Re: M2011

    Baneslayer + Goyf would make for a great set... (not)

    I could definitely see Path (or Swords, for that matter) get reprinted, and can hope for Mana Leak...

    I'd like to see Brainstorm reprinted, just for the new frame in Chinese (Coldsnap precons were not printed in Chinese).

    Can someone explain to my simple mind why cards like Counterspell and Brainstorm were somehow safe for MM era Standard, but are now somehow deemed too good to reprint?

    Noobs don't like getting their spells countered, so now the standard for a hard counter is three mana.

    Seriously.

    Also, Wizards doesn't like giving blue good instant-speed card draw because then it makes blue strong and lots of players bitch about it. Well, blue was the best color in Standard for years, so...

    Re: M2011

    Obviously there is going to be some new broken stuff, such as a new Baneslayer or Tarmogoyf, or heck reprinting the allied fetches.

    They merely took out brainstorm and counterspell temporarily so that there was an excuse for them to make even more rediculous blue power cards as replacements. I'm just waiting for the next level of powercreep from M2011.

    I can only dream. But if Ponder is the heir of Brainstorm, we could hardly call that power creep. Maybe they could reprint Force of Will. It isn't on the reserve list. If they did, I'd love it if they kept it an UC.

    Counterspell was always too good. Mana Leak and Remand are realistically as good a 2 mana counter as you'll be likely to see in the future. Where as ancient staples impact like Lightning Bolt can be lessened (Having creatures too big earlier on the mana curve so Bolt can't be used to easily as removal, have better life-gain cards, etc.) there's really no way to lessen the impact of Counterspell itself.

    Brainstorm was a pretty fair card until Fetchlands get involved. Considering they just reprinted Fetches, good luck ever seeing Brainstorm for the next couple of years.

    As far as LD goes, I agree they go too far in raping it each and every year. However I can see where they come from in terms of frustration. The last LD deck that was any good was Cascade LD involving Fulminator Mage and Rain of Tears. Thanks to Cascade they always had the LD spell. It was less than fun when half the format couldn't interact with the deck in any relevant way.

    Re: M2011

    Considering the new block is based around land, I doubt there will be any good mass land destruction. I remember way, way back in the day playing a B/G/R LD deck with Sinkhole, Ice Storm, and Stone Rain. Good times. Still have those Sinkholes and Ice Storms too. :D

    I'm curious if reprinting BSA really will drive her price down that much. Yeah, there is more product, but the whole "mythic rare" thing still keeps the quantity low.
