If they kill Jace, he will probably come back as an even more annoying Zombie Jace (or eldrazi Jace?)

If he comes back, would we have to call him Jazus?

Can't do that before he has 12 disciples aka Gatewatch members.

Ob god, this would end up like all the Twlight, iZombie and other I-love-an-Undead Teenager Movies. As if Jace isn't enough Robert Pattinson already...

I think it's a safe bet Zen fetches will be reprinted in a Standard legal set rather than MMA EMA Commander etc. The latter sets have no problem selling themselves and Wizards wouldn't waste the fetches on them. Putting the fetches in a Standard legal set guarantees pack sales.

When? Who knows... Kaladesh is possible, though unlikely considering it appears to be an artifact-themed block. Although it would be cool for standard players to continue fetching the BFZ duals for another year.

Just to revisit this in respect to some new information, Zendikar (Onslaught, obviously) are confirmed to not be in Kaladesh (surprising literally no one) due to the collectors number of Inventor's Fair.

I still feel like Amonkhet is pretty much a lock to not have fetches. I feel like for the purposes of Standard, the block after that probably still won't either (I don't think they want fetches back just yet). This means late 2018 is most probably the soonest we'd see Zendikar fetches, but I could easily see even fall back to 2019. Recall that the 4 year gap between Zendikar and Khans saw the birth and rise of Modern. No such sea-change on the horizon now to push it a printing sooner than they plan.

I want to play Modern but I can't afford this $30 piece of jank please reprint.

[Dice_Box]

Play Bant Eldrazi. It is the most nuts pile of shit you will ever pick up.

errrrr. wtf? Is this expensive because it gives a turn 1 lantern lock or something? Must be lantern control right?

Nope, Delirium enabler/Delve fuel mostly driven by the rise in popularity of Death's Shadow Aggro or Suicide Zoo. Oh and the fact that Coldsnap sold/was opened like hot garbage.

I have a foil copy of one of those lying somewhere in a box. Too lazy to go dig it up. I will regret my laziness after a reprint.

I tried it and it just feels like the most midrangey deck ever.

Not that it isn't good, but man, it's just soooo mid-range.

Anybody else thinking that with the advent of the Masterpieces that Wotc will discontinue the FTV series? Seems like that product has run it's course, and it steps on the toes of quality reprints they could be doing as masterpieces, shifting the focus of a premium foil product to something they can roll into regular sets. Essentially there is a real and valuable and exclusive FTV every set now.

Hope so. Only existed to milk revenue from people who wanted teh shinies. If the shinies are a regular feature of the game it saves everyone time.

English Nether Void, the Abyss, Library of Alexandria etc have almost doubled their value in two years. Should one buy them now or forget the whole thing..? In two years they will be almost impossible to get if this continues.

Nether Void and The Abyss are fringe-playable at best, outside of Old School. Are you planning to play Vintage, that you would need a Library?

If you plan to play Vintage and Old School, yes, buy now. If you aren't, no, don't bother I'd say.

Who cares about English when you can have Italian for cheaper?

Anyone with any pride.

No, it's mostly Suicide Zoo. There also seem to be a few Junk decks running a couple of copies, I guess because LSV did in the World Championship.
