    Doing pre-releases back in the day was so fun. It was always interesting to learn new cards for the first time right as you opened the packs, it provided such an enjoyable experience and really put people's minds to work. I remember as a 13-year old doing the Urza's Destiny prerelease and opening Masticore, reading it twice, then realizing this card was "good" before anyone else in the room and crushing them with surprise. You don't get that anymore when everyone has equal information before the set is released.

    It would be fantastic if they do major set releases in this fashion too, but in this day it's just unlikely to happen.

    Great! New computer-generated art for cards that looked best when they were originally printed.

    They do need to have some serious value bombs in it if they're confident enough to "spoil" the set 1.5 months in advance, at a MSRP of 9.99$.

    Serra Angels and Shivan Dragons aren't going to move shit.

    Moxen and duals would, though.

    Things like Necropotence, Arabian Nights Mountain, and some of the more obscure Legends cards might.

    Still holding out hope for "Reserved Masters," a set with all the Black Lotuses, Timetwisters, Rysorian Badgers, Lady Calerias, and Bone Dancers we can handle.

    Sorry, I'm confused. How do they reprint Arabian Nights Mountain?

    Obviously with a new frame, set symbol and art!

    Ahhh! In that case they should charge $14.99 a pack.

    I don't like it. Another masters set in the same year? Also, still product flooding.
    And weren't there very good reasons why we have internet spoilers for very long time now?
    Also, it's kind of stupid that a few days ago WotC claimed they wanted to wait till June to reveal what's coming in fall and now they revealed it nonetheless.

    just don't look at the spoilers and you'll get the same experience.

    That might be a reaction to the fuck-up they committed yesterday.

    For the love of all that is holy, please just bring back the original frame. Even if it's only for one set.

    It's not always that easy. I was talking to a judge Wednesday night about the new set and he mentioned trying to be surprised during new set sealed events, but everyone always wants to get his opinion on new cards. So despite not seeking out a single card from the new set, he was aware of all the planeswalkers in it.

    Oh, good gods. Old-frame SFM or Jace. Old-frame modified Terminus. Old-frame Counterbalance. Old-frame Top.

    The direction they should have taken for masterpieces. Instead we got borderless, textless (alphbetized-hieroglyphs ain't text), colorless Invocations

    Without a reserved list removal, i don't get how they could set the price to 10$ per booster.
    Angel and dragons? not for me :(
    I want playable cards.
