The art on most of those is amazing IMO. Those lotus petals are beautiful.
There better be a Winter Orb masterpiece with polar bears on it in Aether Revolt.
MAJOR fail going with the FtV foiling. Literally all of my interest in them is gone.

It's not FTV foiling:

I thought I read that it would be the same as or similar to the Expeditions, but I can't find that comment now. If it is the same, does anyone know how well those have held up over time?
I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel

Incompetence
People hate the FTV foiling process since forever. Failing to address this in a timely manner is a typical Wizards move.
IIRC, Aaron Forsythe recently asked on Twitter which foiling process people do prefer.
Edit:
Could very well be damage control. What does "similiar" mean if one can't really tell the difference?
I guess we can now play 8 "Aether Vials"? #NameFail

Don't worry, they'll just replace boosters in the prize payouts with more Itchy and Scratchy money.
Side note: These are legal if you pull one in Limited, so I'm hoping somebody at the Pro Tour cracks a Mana Crypt or Sol Ring and whomps on their draft pod. Just for the lulz.

All these reprints really piss me off. Its not that cards reprinted typically decline in value. Its that cards like Lotus petal now come in like 3-4 different borders and it becomes difficult to recognize the card. At some point wizards just has to allow any kind of altars as long as there is a name on the card.

why cards are so expensive...hoarders
Wat
Look, these cards themselves will be expensive. See: Expeditions. However, they are increasing the supply of some hard-to-get older cards, and that cannot help but add a suppressive force to the card prices. There's no universe where supply and demand operate where printing more of a card (even in limited quantities) doesn't help prices somewhat.
