I'm looking forward to imprinting Counterspell on Isochron Scepter in limited and salting my opponent out of the game.

Sinkhole has been a little underexplored in the DRS era. Obviously it fights with Hymn to Tourach, and Hymn is much less expensive (and a slightly better topdeck). But if this printing reduces its price appreciably (which is not guaranteed) it's the kind of card more people may take fliers on in their BUG decks.

Man, not that it matters, but Mesa Enchantress looked so much nicer with the color-shifted boarder. I wish they'd do that again...

Re: Confirmed: Eternal Masters - June 10, 2016
Hrmmm, so Port got the shaft unless it's at rare. 14/15 mythics have been revealed but white is still missing their 2nd mythic, so it has to be white.

Karakas likely counts as the 2nd white mythic, just like Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth counted as a black rare in m15.
I suspect the remaining mythic is colorless. Jitte or Port are both still possibilities there, or I can see port at rare honestly.

With Wasteland at Rare I can see Port at Rare.

I think this is a lot bigger than people imagine. There's a lot of cards that surge past the $10, and even $20, benchmark simply because of casual. The foils in this set are going to be the real money cards. Especially the ones with new art.

Wow, never knew this. Thanks for sharing this information! Guess we can keep our fingers crossed for port.

For the draft environment only, I'd think at this point Abrupt Decay will either be included or a glaring omission.

Same! I'd all but given up on Port, but it seems mad not to print it for the sake of online. I reckon Port is the last Mythic now.

For sure, Abrupt Decay is exactly the type of card that should be included in a set like this. It's not overpowered because it's not guaranteed to kill most of your opponents best threats like it is in legacy/modern and being uncountable in limited is rarely necessary.
Also, good catch alphastryk!

Re: Confirmed: Eternal Masters - June 10, 2016
Enchantress seems like an odd pick for mythic. I would have expected Berserk.
Also, is Wizards sending spoilers to AV Club? Lol.

Re: Confirmed: Eternal Masters - June 10, 2016
Set looks pretty solid, but man all these rarity changes are messing with my head. Yeah, yeah, I know it's "because limited", but it's still weird. Wildfire Emissary is back with the original RKF art though, which warms my heart in a way few things ever could.

Wildfire Emissary was such an awesome card. I used to run him in a UR CounterBurn deck, I still run UR Delver today because I used to love that archetype. They need Flame Tongue Kavu now and hopefully NOT Shard Phoenix because that would suck to open him as a rare.

Re: Confirmed: Eternal Masters - June 10, 2016
Ancestral Mask is possibly my favorite card ever, seeing that reprinted has made me finally say "best reprint set ever".
This set should be great for Legacy. I sure hope they printed like MM2 and not MM1.

Re: Confirmed: Eternal Masters - June 10, 2016
This set looks pretty sweet and is hitting all kinds of nostalgia points for me. It's really too bad it'll be such an expensive and limited run that it will be difficult to get much sealed play in, it looks fun.

Re: Confirmed: Eternal Masters - June 10, 2016
Hard to mess with Tedin's original, but damn the new art on Winter Orb is nice

(edit: oh, because it's Brian Snoddy, of course it's awesome then)
