Flash Hulk in a draft format? Does this mean we'll get Disciple of the Vault and Ornithopter as well? That would be living the dream.
Also yay Port and Bridge, the cards I don't have playsets of.
Nice, I need to get more Bridges. Port reprint at rare is VERY good news for the legacy crowd.

Also Flash. It's nice of WotC to reprint banned and restricted cards; makes a lot of sense - you print cool cards, but don't need to ban them immediately. Why not to introduce a new set "Banned to be Restricted"? :/

If you're still finding a way to complain, you'll never be happy.

The Port reprint makes me wonder if we get a Wasteland reprint as well. That would fantastic for D&T.
Deleting the RL is a forever debate, and be sure that even if some people will by happy about it, many others will legitimately complain about the money they will loose. There were a dedicated thread about it, some time ago.

I'm quite satisfied with the reprints of Masters 25 so far. Bloodmoon with the edition watermark is neat. But, the art of recruiter is... meh
I wonder what's the dividing line on flavor text for these cards.
On one hand we get the original sparse minimalism that is 3 & 4 word text boxes for Armageddon and Counterspell and Blood Moon, but them something iconic like Lightning Bolt gets filled to the brim with text. That text was amazing for the M10 printing as a nod to Lightning Bolt returning to standard after years and years of Shock, but now it's the default flavor text, which muddies it's significance. This will be the first printing of Brainstorm without flavor text, so I don't see why Lightning Bolt got the core set treatment.
Again...
Moving on though, on top of all the value, this set is looking really fun to draft; there's no forced Kamigawa dragon cycle, or forced cycles of anything, really. If you count Brainstorm as the spiritual inheritor to the blue Boon, then they could reprint Healing Salve. I would be okay with that. But everything seems purposeful and justified to draft and that has me uncharacteristically excited.
Enemy filter lands were spoiled (Cascade Bluffs etc.) which is really nice to see. Did they intentionally make Iconic suck ass so this set would seem so great?
