Eternal masters roughly one month away, where's the hype (and further spoilers)?
-
Are these sets any fun to draft, btw? I've never done one-
-
At my local shop, I was told not to expect drafts and packs might go as high as $20 each. He wouldn't even let me preorder yet. Said it might be around $300 a booster box if he decides to do so
-
I like how Shops are ripping off MSRP without knowing whether the total value of the set is over MSRP or not.
-
For fellow dredge players on MODO, unmask and serenity are two unnecessarily expensive cards that I would love to see reprinted
-
There has got to be a way to preorder this online somewhere... help me.

Imperial Seal tops my "I kknow we won't get it but I can dream" list.
Demonic Tutor seems like such an obvious reprint that I doubt we'll see any other black tutors. Either that, or we'll see the whole Mirage cycle. None of the playable tutors from Mirage have had a pack foil reprint.
Imperial Seal seems like the sort of thing they'll hold back for a holiday judge mailing or something, like Mana Drain in 2015, or Force of Will in 2014.
-
@p3temangus I'd add Cabal Therapy and Undiscovered Paradise to that.
-
@Topical_Island At least here in Europe the Magiccardmarket site has a lot of preorders on offer: https://www.magiccardmarket.eu/Products/Booster+Boxes/Eternal+Masters+Booster+Box

My guesses for Mythic Slots (assuming 2 mythics per color):
Red: Imperial Recruiter, Goblin Welder
Green: Natural Order, Berserk
Blue: Force of Will, Jace TMS, or Mana Drain
Black: Imperial Seal, Grim Tutor, or Vampiric Tutor
White: Academy Rector, Land Tax, or.....I have no frigging Clue.
Artifacts: Mana Crypt, Sensei's Diving Top
Gold: Dack Fayden, and not sure
Land: Rishadin Port, Ancient Tomb, Glimmervoid, or Dark Depths, or KarakasI believe that Hymn to Tourach and Lotus Petal will be RARES. Sylvan Library, Swords to Plowshares, Demonic Tutor, Sol Ring, Balance, Mind Twist, Ball Lightning, Maze of Ith, Ernham Djinn, Serendib Efreet, Lightning Bolt, Dark Ritual, Chrome Mox, Tinker, Mind over Matter, Oath of Druids, Recycle, Aluren, Regrowth, Gush, Daze, Chain Lightning, Misdirection, Gifts Ungiven, all the Wishes, Griselbrand, Emrakul, Tarmogoyf, Dark Confidant, Liliana of the Veil (possible mythic), Wrath of God, Damnation, Phyrexian Arena, Gitaxin Probe, Elvish Spirit Guide, Simian Spirit Guide, Goblin Charblecher, Armageddon/Ravages of War (possible Mythics), Supreme Verdict, Nevynarryl's Disk, Survival of the Fittest, Food Chains, Howling Mine, Black Vise/TheRack, Icy Manipulator, Juggernaut, Triskelion, Kuldotha Forgemaster, Grim Monolith, Time Warp, Time Spiral, High Tide, Reset, and the Elder Dragon Legends (they gotta have some shit rares), will fill most of the rare/uncommon slots. This is ofc just my opinion, and a sprinkle and dash of my hopes. I already preordered a case (4 boxes) at a lil over $1,000. I believe the EVA is gonna be through the roof, and that I will be happy with the purchase. If not, at least I will have some of the cards I been trying to get for years since I quit and sold my collection in 2003.

@Serracollector you are going tl be sadly mistaken by that decision given the set had to be draftsble which the list of cards you named wouldnt have that synergy.

I would agree. That's a ton of name rares too. I think maybe half those cards will see print.....over the next three Masters sets. They only need 10-20 flagship cards to sell the packs, and half those will be mythic.
-
I'd say a good rule of thumb is any card on in the MODO cube with alternate art and not on the reserve list.
I'm excited for a lot of the commons/uncommons as well. Oubliette, Tron Lands, Spirit Guides, Daze they should all be included in the set.
I am hopefully for a lot of reprints on Judge Promos: Sneak Attack, Show and Tell, Rishadan Port, Karakas. Ravages of War, Imperial Recruiter, but I'm not sure how likely it will be. I think they have to use this oppertunity to reprint Imperial Recruiter and it would be a huge mistake not to. If that card was more available, Legacy would be a different animal.
I'm also holding out hope that Imperial Seal gets reprinted. But I'm not convinced Wizards will do the right thing. In all honesty, they might find a way to totally blow this set and then have to do Eternal Master 2018 or something.
Also, Tarmogoyf will likely be in this set.
-
Goblin Welder would never be a mythic, it just got reprinted in Commander as a rare. It doesn't even need a reprint.
Berserk could be a rare and even an uncommon. It's not good enough to be a mythic.
I'd love to see imperial seal, but I have a feeling Wizards is going to give us Vampiric Tutor instead.
Dack Fayden will not be repritned this quickly. Maybe Jace will, but I honeslty think he will be in the follow up Etermal Masters set 2-4 years later.
The following cards are on the reserve list:
Academy Rector
Survival of the Fittest
Grim MonolithAnd these guys are right. It's going to be a lot more like Modern Masters where there will be a few signature cards, some good commons/uncommons, and the rest garbage to make it a draft set.
-
Like I said it's also with a bit of hope. Berserk is a very key card in Legacy infect and I just can't think of another green card outside of Natural Order that's mythic worthy. They could cheese and make Sylvan Library a mythic I guess.
-
What does everyone think about re-printing the Zendikar Fetches? $80-$90+ on Scalding Tarn and friends (to me) is an unnecessarily prohibitive cost of entry to the eternal formats. Even in Legacy, you need to shell out $750-$1000 on Dual lands AND THEN another $400-500 on the correct fetches? Totally not needed.
-
The just reprinted Khans Fetches, they printed Expeditions in the last set. They have never pritned Fetch lands in a masters edition. All signs point to No.
Wizards knows they can print money but putting them in a core set. I think they will just do that again, maybe in 2017.
-
I think it's cool that some of the old cards might see reprints (berserk, force, karakas, drain, etc), but will that really help the supply side? Won't these mythics still pull $60-100 even in a reprint state? Great for excitement, but I don't think it will do much to ease prices. At least the mythics slot in a low distribution set.
Heck, some of the mythics might be worth more than the originals!
Very exciting set to talk about though. I'm jazzed!
-
I wonder if Liliana will see a reprinting in this set. It's not really vintage, but legacy
-
VMA was designed as a draft format and so were both Modern Masters sets.
-
I doubt it. She was a promo last year. I think they will reprint her in the next Modern Masters, in 2017.
