I am excited at this bringing new people in to Legacy. I am bummed that the reserved list is going to ramp up interest in the format, and then make it actually more difficult to get into most decks. I hope at least this set might have reprints to allow new folks into the format with at least a few decks, though likely mostly the mono colored ones.

Ah, okay. I thought you were arguing about the SPIRIT OF THE RESERVE LIST again. The definition of "card type, subtypes, abilities, mana cost, power, and toughness" is clear and unambiguous. Thanks!Quote:

AWW Yea, I'm bringing back Blouses!Quote:

We'll probably see many Modern banned cards reprinted like Dark Depths.
Wizards School from the homelands land cycle also fits in there....Quote:

6. Mana Crypt
7. Rishadan Port
8. Show and Tell
9. Flusterstorm
10. Grove of the Burnwillows
Besides the rares, I'm hoping they reprint some Uncommons that are expensive. Speaking of it, I could make a Top 10 list for that as well:
1. Aether Vial
2. Gemstone Mine
3. Cabal Therapy
4. Heritage Druid
5. Enlightened Tutor
6. Counterbalance
7. Goblin Lackey
8. Cursecatcher
9. Cabal Coffers
10. Sensei's Divining Top
And for good measure, the Commons:
1. Chain Lightning
2. Serum Visions
3. Gitaxian Probe
4. Relic of Progenitus
5. Lotus Petal
6. Daze
7. Nettle Sentinel
8. Simian Spirit Guide
9. Lava Spike
10. Terminate
This news has probably jump started my sell out. :(
Anyone else notice this release is the same date as GP Columbus?

After Judge FoW and Mana Drain they are going to print FoW as Mythic? Please don't collect foil counters. Don't be like me :D
Seeing Adam Prosak on the list makes me curious how many combo cards will be in this EMA. What is also interesting is how many cards will have their first appearance in foil version.
They don't intend to make any EMA GP's.Quote:

* Swords to Plowshares
* enemy fetches (Scalding Tarn, etc.)
Good stuff. Hopefully this will attract new people to invest in Legacy :)
Also i'm so fucking glad they didn't shoehorned jace into the FoW art.
Also I agree about the P3K probably seeing some reprint. Regarding printing some cards like lotus petal as common, how would it affect Pauper?
Just Noticed that Wizards will release EM on June 10th; that's the date of Legacy GP in Columbus, Ohio and Prague.
:cool:
Let me guess what people would be doing during that weekend.
I'm planning on GP Columbus even if the hosting company has had crap reviews in the past. Normally I'd spend 100% of my time doing legacy and not think twice about limited side events...but this seems like it could be a lot of fun.Quote:

I really, really hope they reprint dark ritual with the judge promo art. That and imperial recruiter would make my day. While I'm speculating, glimpse of nature would be cool too.
Judge dark rit for reference:

Mana Drain, Tarmogoyf, Mishra's Factory, Sensei's Divining Top, Karakas
I'm quite happy, that they decided to keep the original quote on wasteland.
I always found that to be one of the best picked lines on any card, alongside the classic "Greatness, at any cost" on Bob.
