I find it amazing that they still haven't figured out a way to reprint a Thunder Spirit that is functionally different based on +1/+1 or -1/-1 counters. E.g.:
Not-Thunder Spirit
Creature - Other creature type than Spirit
Not-Thunder Spirit enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it.
Flying, first strike
0/0
I'm pretty sure that if they really wanted to "solve" that problem, it could be done.
Instead it's a nice, honest piece of nonsense to make MaRo look like a "good guy" in the Reserve List debate.
Unfortunately it's a completely bullshit stance and makes zero logical sense, outside of Marketing and PR double-speak.

... but the packaging explicitly says, "not for resale"! who would break such a good faith gesture from WOTC by selling this product on the open market?
But actually, if the card is contained in a sealed box why does it need to be wrapped? Unless the intent is to have the cards sold after the box is opened?
I smell shenanigans afoot.

Phyrexian Altar
spoiled this morning, all at rare.
Fecundity at uncommon.
other notables reprinted:
Back to Basics
Phyrexian Tower
Runed Halo
All at rare.
The new Phyrexian Tower art is pretty solid, for whatever that's worth.
I'm looking forward to nabbing a set of Devils and 2-3 BtB's, maybe some Bitterblossoms. Reprints are alright with me. Containment Priest was a really nice reprint.
Notably absent (so far) is Force of Will. Anybody think it might still show up?

I really hope it does, but it's been printed at mythic (right?) in the last few prints so unless they are holding back, I am not going to hold my breath for it. I have no idea if they have spoiled all the mythics or not. That being said, it hasn't been crunched out number wise yet (rarity aside):

I don't think this set will have ANY new cards, only reprints.
Spirit of the Labynth is as close to a Magus of the Chains as I would expect in the foreseeable future.
Which is a shame because I would have LOVED some new Eldrazi and a decent green creature discard outlet. Neither Loleth Troll nor a Wild Mongrel with reach are playable these days thanks to power creep. The new wild mongrel should have atleast been a 3/3.
After seeing all the rarity downshifts, I bought a couple of boxes on Amazon today at $270 each. Even if the price of the included cards falls to half of its current value I'll still turn a profit selling the singles. This set appears to be heavily loaded.

Me too, but 4!
Unfortunately, without a downshift I don't think we will see it. There are 19 mythics spoiled already, and none in white. I'd be thrilled to see it at rare, but im guessing they won't do that. Previous Master's sets were at 15 mythics, and we are at 19 right now (with 5 extra cards per set, I don't see this having more than 5 additional mythics). Fingers crossed regardless!
