Thanks, number 6 and so should complete our playset+EDH+Cube versions of children. (Plus the minivan will be full.)
I just collect one of each FTV (except 20, I got 4 of those), all I am missing was Dragons (because I wasn't really paying attention when it came out).

These are sold in MTGO right? Isn't Unmask really expensive on there and this could help out?
I'm not saying I'm super wowed by this, but in paper this does seem nifty enough for EDH players and Marit Lage token is nice as well.
Phyrexian Processor ties in nominally to Xantcha, Urza's Phyrexian companion during the events of Saga and some of Legacy. They were used to grow newts, uncompleated Phyrexians, and later to grow sleeper agents for the purpose of infiltrating and corrupting worlds with useful resources.
Cabal Ritual I suspect is just there as a nod to the Cabal, one of the main story line drivers of the Odyssey and Onslaught blocks. Braids is banned in Commander and not particularly playable elsewhere, Cabal Patriarch doesn't even rustle the jimmies of EDH players, and Chainer, Dementia Summoner is an okay-ish EDH card. Most other Cabal-y cards are forgettable or have been reprinted. Ritual at least is exciting to Legacy and Vintage Storm players.
I'm kind of puzzled by Beseech the Queen too. Oona was the antagonist in both Lorwyn and Shadowmoor, and the causative agent for the Great Aurora going off during that time (also, coincidentally, when Nissa was on the plane during her initial planeswalk). Oona herself was reprinted in FTV: Legends, and there aren't tons of direct references to her that don't show something else, so I guess it was this or just skip over LRW/SHM.
Wasn't Ashling the primary character from Lorwyn/ Shadowmoor?
Was Gaddock Teeg not really involved? Or Nath, or Colfenor?
Maybe they fixed the foiling process. Did FTV: Angels have the warping issue?
Just 1-2 weeks ago, Aaaron Forsythe asked on Twitter about how we've been liking the current FTV foiling process. The responses have been overwhelmingly negative. He then asked why exactly why didn't like it and the answers were divided between curling and "looking cheap".

The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
1. Discuss the unbanning ofLand TaxEarthcraft.
2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
4. Stifle Standstill.
5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).
A decade of FtV sets later, they ASK for feedback? Wasn't years of negative Feedback in Social medias enough for them to realize there is something wrong? Do they even care?
And the last question being the most important one: Is that ther usual reaction speed to complaints? Maybe they ask for Reserved List Feedback in 5 years then

You wanna talk about looking like Ass? That Cabal Ritual art is ass. I mean, it's a fine piece of art, but it doesn't even hold a candle to THIS:
The contrast, the thickness and depth of the exaggerated whirlwind coming out of the cup, creamy like soft-serve ice cream. Soft-serve Darkness?
Is there some particular reason why they use a different foiling process for FTV sets? I mean, the regular set foils work fine. The FTV cards appear to have a polymer layer or something on top that makes them smoother and shiner and, obviously, reacts differently to changes in temperature and/or moisture and/or pressure than the back of the card -- hence the curling.
I can't speak for Commander, but I agree in general. FtV are sets to reprint old, obscure cards in foil like Smokestack. Printing Beseech the Queen, Glissa or Mormir instead of stuff like Imperial Seal, Loyal Retainers, Grim Tutor or whatever old cards with a certain demand are around, is beyond me
