Tic12 on Turn 5 - Darth Vadrik strikes back

Next mayor update: I cut the complete Extra-Turn-section, cause these cards doesn't perform the way i was hoping. So, i replaced it with some little helpers and 2 more lands, cause 33 Lands were way too less.

Out: Alrund's Epiphany, Beacon of Tomorrows, Capture of Jingzhou, Part the Waterveil, Temporal Mastery, Walk the Aeons

In: Island, Mountain, Vandalblast, Expressive Iteration, Seize the Spoils, Swiftfoot Boots

I'm okay with the Universes Beyond cards, mostly because I usually know way more about M:tG than whatever franchise they're pulling in. To me, it's just another plane with a different tone or technology level.

The biggest sticking point for me right now is the Doctor Who Planechase planes. Most of them are okay, but a couple of them are set on actual, non-fictional places on Earth, the worst offender right now being Prime Minister's Cabinet Room. I know early sets like Portal Three Kingdoms and Arabian Nights have historical references, but those are heavily adjusted by folklore and the passage of time. Maybe it's just my cultural shortsightedness, but Capture of Jingzhou feels about as real-world Earth-y as Fiery Cannonade or Sizzling Soloist. Putting a card, even one specifically for a variant format, at 10 Downing Street is just a little too specific for me.

I've been wanting more planes that aren't direct copies of Earth cultures for a long time now. They're my favorite type of plane. Now, we're getting cards on contemporary Earth itself. This annoys me, both aesthetically and philosophically. (If we get a Wizards of the Coast HQ plane, I'll be happy.)

Welp, Capture of Jingzhou got knocked down from the throne of "most expensive non-reserved good card", letting Mana Crypt ascend to its rightful place

Of my pet cards, Cover of Darkness hasn't even been on The List! At least Training Grounds got an unexpected Standard-legal reprint.

No Dockside since Double Masters

Honestly, it's hard to get excited about spoilers when the set is so cost prohibitive. It doesn't matter how great the reprints are when the cost of the sealed product is so high that I doubt it will matter. Some cards will drop in price due to extreme scarcity driving it's value (i.e. Capture of Jingzhou), but I highly doubt any of the reprints of cards that actually see play will experience significant drops in price.

Sorry to be a grouch, but this set could've been a great way to drive down the cost of the most popular format of the game. I really hate to say this, but I hope this set flops hard. When LGS's in your area are only buying a small amount of product, or avoiding the product all together due to price, you know WotC messed up.

Thank goodness for the Hewlitt-Packard Secret Layer line of cards...

Quickspell Awesome news! I couldn't wait and bought a Judge Foil version of Capture of Jingzhou previously! LOL

This is a pretty good reference (I was surprised that among good reprintable cards, Capture of Jingzhou was the most expensive.)

Some neat cards that have seen little to no reprints for a long while:

• Teferi's Veil is good anti-wrath protection for combat decks
• Cover of Darkness is outdated, but gives cheap tribal evasion
• Mycosynth Golem, Training Grounds

I expect the various Sliver legends to make a reaprearance. Also, Mana Crypt could stand to be a less of a luxury.

Hey Cloudius, they are finally reprinting Capture of Jingzhou in the Commander Masters Set in August this year. It‘s coming in normal and foil edge.

Wow this deck has some unexpected horsepower. What do you think of Emiel the Blessed? It makes infinite colorless with Workhorse.

Riding the Dilu Horse could be another thematic way to present lethal with Jegantha.
