Griselbrand! Dormi Rade? STOIC ANGEL?!?
wtf
I want to subscribe to this thread so I'll just say that I'm hoping for Mishra's Bauble, Voice of Resurgence, Horizon Canopy, and fetches. No one has mentioned fetches, but that sounds possible since they weren't in bfz

yeah those would be some really great cards to be reprinted, Mishra's Bauble is insane at $20, and i think this will be a good opportunity to finally get those damn fetch reprints
February 25, 2017 12:21 p.m.
I will be very displeased if ZEN fetches are not reprinted. Damnation too.
February 25, 2017 12:26 p.m.
Moonbar you'll be disappointed. There's a very low probability (I think) that we see ZEN fetches here.
February 25, 2017 1:49 p.m.
I'm hoping fetches are not part of this set. I would much rather see them in a standard-legal set where it will actually influence the value of the fetch lands in a major way. $30-70 per card just for mana fixing is ridiculous. As an added bonus, it would help balance (lol) frontier. If they're reprinted in modern masters, that's a sign that we're not going to see them reprinted in another set for a long while. I'd say it's more likely that we're going to see buddy lands or shock lands.

Moonbar Wizards have said they are reprinting ZEN fectches in an upcoming STD set. I'm hoping for Damnation as well!
February 25, 2017 4:10 p.m.
AtomicEmpire they said that? Interesting, do you have a source for that? :)

LOL I've just heard people at my LGS who are very knowledgeable say that. No guarantees!

my guess is that the ZEN fetches could be in Amonkhet, because I think the new Gods will be 3 coloured and each will have one of the shard combinations. Wizards printed the fetches in Khans to be good mana fixers for that environment, and the same could happen in Amonkhet.
February 26, 2017 1:15 p.m.
dottydog6111 also, Amonkhet has full art lands. Previously only seen alongside fetches on Zendikar (un-sets excluded). Could Amonkhet also be a Lands Matter set? Why else would they include full art lands? If it is, then Zen fetches is not that far fetched ;).

That's true smackjack. Also good for me cuz I need Scalding Tarn!

LOL. They're the only thing missing for my competitive Jeskai deck.

I'm hopeful, and really stoked about Amonkhet. Not because of Bolas, but because I just love desert themes. An Egyptian style theme should be a lot of fun. Bolas is just an added bonus. Come one and show me some modern Hazezon Tamar!
Back to the subject though, I'd like to see some dredge creatures like bloodghast and vengevine reprinted as rares in the set.
February 26, 2017 1:27 p.m.
I dont think there is a mechanics-based reason for full-arts in this set.
Imo, full lands are in the newest set purely to make wotc $$$. Not a bad thing at all since they are a business,making money is their reason to exist.
February 26, 2017 3:40 p.m.
griz024 On a question why not every set has full art lands MaRo said that full art lands are only for Zendikar because Zendikar is a Lands Matter set. Now full art lands are back. I guess that means Amonkhet is a Lands Matter set.. Or Wizards gave in and they are printing full arts in EVERY set. I doubt the latter tho, since full art lands is a selling point for their product.

I doubt that the full art lands will be tied to any mechanics in the set. Wizards have said that the full art basics will only appear in 1 out of every 4 packs. They may pertain to something in the story since each one appears to be closer to the horns than the last, but I feel their availability is too infrequent for this to be a true "lands matters" set. Besides, BFZ-OGW is still relatively fresh. It would be too soon for another landfall set.
February 26, 2017 5:46 p.m.
Hi_diddly_ho_neighbor Amonkhet has full arts only in 1/4 packs? You have a source on that?
February 26, 2017 6:32 p.m.
tlhunter07 says... #20
Yes he does it's on TheManaSource YouTube I think... Either that or MTGHQ.
February 26, 2017 6:48 p.m.
Diddy ho is correct. I remember hearing that on manasource and/or mtggoldfish podcast.
Should have mentioned that in my argument.
Considering the 1 in 4 nature of these lands it is clearly a money making inclusion. Honestly, i hope they continue this method of making full art basics, but not the theme. Every set has several lands i wish were full art. So id be very happy if every set has fullart versions of the normal basics

Can we keep to the topic of Modern Masters 2017? There's an Amonkhet thread on here that you can discuss about the lands.
February 26, 2017 9:01 p.m.
Hi_diddly_ho_neighbor says... #24
My bad Canadion, smackjack here is my source. Look at the "Amonkhet basic land section"...I swear that is the last post relating to Amonkhet from me on this thread!

I wake up, i see this
I'm thinking "sweet, spoilers started".
I come here and nothing happend. Dissapoint. :(
February 27, 2017 4:17 a.m.
I believe they begin on Friday, heard everything will be spoiled at once.
February 27, 2017 4:31 a.m.
Pretty sure I read on their website that they were starting them today. Wizards is on the west coast, right? Usually means we don't get them on the east coast until lunchtime.
February 27, 2017 7:44 a.m.
Sloanan,
Yeah, 9:00am Pacific time is the 'traditional' start of all spoilers.
February 27, 2017 9:43 a.m.

Curse you timezones! My busy morning turned out not to be. I could use some spoilers to occupy my mind!

Well, they did the impossible.
Domination is reprinted. At rare.
Halle-F*CKING-lujah

Damnation reprint. Freak out time! :)
February 27, 2017 10:49 a.m.
Zen fetches and damnation. If they print nothing else in this set, it is already worth it!
February 27, 2017 10:58 a.m.
Hi_diddly_ho_neighbor says... #38
I guess I should just make my next paycheck out to WotC
February 27, 2017 11 a.m.
Marsh Flats, Arid Mesa and Verdant Catacombs spoiled. No Scalding Tarn or Misty Rainforest yet. How fun it would be if they decide to reprint only the non-blue fetches XD
February 27, 2017 11:05 a.m.
Yesss! I really hope this helps drive down the prices of damnation and the fetches
February 27, 2017 11:18 a.m.
holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit
checks calendar to see if today isn't April 1st
No, really. At this point, I don't care if the rest of the set is two hundred different prints of Shadowborn Apostle with "a set can have any number of cards name Shadowbord Apostle" as rules text. This set is already better than MM1 and MM2 combined. I mean, FETCHLANDS. FETCHLANDS. AND DAMNATION.
But mostly, FETCHLANDS
February 27, 2017 11:19 a.m.
Today's spoils...
They started with arguably as big of a bang as Eternal Masters. Yikes.

I just heard a rumor that this MM set will not be a limited print run. Has anyone else heard that or am I imagining things?
February 27, 2017 11:20 a.m.
tlhunter07 says... #46
OMG FETCHES OMG YES YES YES YES
Edit: Also Damnation is nice.
February 27, 2017 11:32 a.m. Edited.
If they print much more value, I expect price gouging, like mm1. I would rather the fetches got a standard set to really increase supply.
February 27, 2017 11:35 a.m.
LittleBlueHero says... #48
I love me some Stoic Angel but I am still confused by it inclusion... was the price going up or something?
February 27, 2017 11:35 a.m.
Lgs owners have mentioned their distributers are letting them order as many boxes as they want. That could indicate a larger print run. As far as i know no one has confirmed so rumor for now
DemonDragonJ says... #1
I would like to see a reprint of Lord of Extinction, because I would like to have a copy of it for an EDH deck that I am building, and I do not wish to pay $15 or more for it.
