I'll hold my horses for the moment, this is probably going to be like Modern masters and co.
Super hig prices for some great cards and lots of crap. Also, seeing force and wasteland as first pics reminded me about From the vault 20. And that ended so well.
Sadly, as always, I'm willing to give them the benefit of doubt, hoping in a balanced product.
From the Wizards Play Network Eternal Masters page, the guaranteed supply for stores is as follows:Quote:

Note that this is less than Modern Masters 2015, which had 2-3 cases, 5-6 cases, and 9-12 cases for the respective levels.

So I guess somewhat smaller than MM15, but probably bigger than the first MM, I think? MM15 can still be bought, but that probably has more to do with the crap EV than the print run.
Also worth noting is this quote from the wpn page: "It's designed to offer an extraordinary draft experience, plus enhance your players' Vintage, Legacy, and Modern decks."
OH GOD YES UGH! I didn`t even think of that, but yeah, me too a thousand times over. If asked to guess before seeing the card, I`d go 80% on fucking Jace. Instead we get this beautiful, badass neutral-flavoured art. Well done for once.Quote:

It`s a load of bullshit. Link here. Someone asked if it was a "if" or "when" whether theree would be a new constructed format (ever), and he replied "when". So at some point in the history of Magic: the Gathering, a new constructed format will appear. That is all that has ever been confirmed.Quote:

Just rumors, for nowQuote:

Agreed. I have a Word document at work and Word document at home of just neato quotes that I come across. Wasteland managed to make it onto both somehow.Quote:

UB-Storm agreed
UR-Counter burn I don't think flip cards get printed here it's possible that goblin guide and monastery swift spear eidolon chain lightning and some other aggressive red blue cards make a deck here.
UG-Shardless WB-Death and taxes/Dead guy ale thalia and mother of runes inquisition etc.
WR-Humans fits with death and taxes but with a agro spin thalia and mother of runes fit here as well
BR-Goblins
BG-Elves - Deathrite shaman, nettle sentinel imperious perfect (I know it's not played but it's powerful in limited) maybe some green tutor effects
RG- Stompy this is where the dumb rares no one wants to open outside of an event will be. Simian spirit guide as ramp and a bunch of dumb big things no one really wants. There might be a naya zoo element with nacatl and the like.
Printing merfolk and goblins gives two decks that can use an aether vial which could fit the bill as a modern card available in the set. I could also see berserk getting a reprint here it could fit into the stompy deck
Has anyone considered them printing a strictly better dual land? Like what if it were a Tri land that tapped for colorless and the other two colors (like a wasted volcanic island <>,U,R) but was still fetchable.
Basically, as someone who offloaded their collection in 2011 and kept the decks they had, I don't even really care what's in this set, even the duds I'd be happy to add to a collection.
If anything, this saves a lot of time for someone like me who needed Vintage/Legacy staples on-hand.
This is going to increase the player bases of both formats by, like, a lot. Especially if this becomes a biennial set. Glad Wizards is going to make a shit ton of money off of Vintage and Legacy, as far as I can tell, this is the first product specifically designed with those two formats in mind. If it's a success (which it obviously is going to be), I think people will definitely be hounding them even more than they are now about the RL...
Edit:
Fake list. Never mind.
This. I think large interest in these formats expressed through WOTC making money off of them are the most likely routes to the eventual removal of the reserved list.Quote:

Am I an idiot? I don't see any there here at all except for 'good cards I hope get reprinted'.Quote:

I do not consider the list fake just for the assumption that the RL will or will not be maintained.Quote:
