DemonDragonJ on MtG Reprint Wish List

5 days ago

Magic: the Gathering has thousands, or even tens of thousands, of cards, some of which have been reprinted more often then have others (i.e., some have been reprinted numerous times, while others have never been reprinted), so I would like to make a list of any and all cards that users here would like to see reprinted, in any set and at any time. Obviously, we cannot mention any cards that are on the reserved list, but any other cards are eligible to be mentioned here.

First, I shall mention Book of Rass, Claws of Gix, Martyr's Cause, and Righteous Aura, since none of those cards have ever been reprinted, or at least they have not been reprinted, recently, so I very much would like to see them reprinted in the new border style and with new artwork, and they are also excellent cards for teaching newer players that life and permanents can be used as resources, as well.

Next, it would be great if Anointed Procession could be reprinted, especially considering that WotC has reprinted both Doubling Season and Parallel Lives, recently, meaning that the two green enchantments are much less expensive than is the white one.

I also find it to be very surprising that Oloro, Ageless Ascetic has never been reprinted, outside of a judge promo, which I do not consider to be a proper reprint, given that he is a very popular general in EDH.

Absorb was reprinted, in the most recent visit to Ravnica, but it is still a rare, which I feel is definitely not the rarity that it should have, now; it most certainly should be only an uncommon, and I also would like to see Undermine reprinted as an uncommon, as well.

The filter lands (i.e., Cascade Bluffs, Twilight Mire, and so forth) have been reprinted in numerous Commander sets, but either with the original artwork and flavor text from Shadowmoor and Eventide or with artwork and flavor text in Universes Beyond sets, and they have never been reprinted in a standard set, so I would like to see them reprinted in a standard set, so that they shall have new artwork and flavor text.

Ancient Spider has never been reprinted, so I feel that it definitely deserves to be; with Thunder Spirit being on the reserved list (which it most certainly should not be, in my mind), I believe that WotC should reprint Sky Spirit more frequently, as it is such a useful creature, and, similarly, Tempest Drake has never been reprinted, so it definitely should be. Also, Dragonlair Spider is not terribly expensive, currently but I feel that it deserves a reprint, to keep it affordable.

The utility lands from both Ravnica (i.e., Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion) and Innistrad (i..e, Kessig Wolf Run) are an interesting case, since some of those cards have been reprinted more often than have the others, so I would like to see all of them reprinted, to keep them easily available.

The original ten guildmages (from the first Ravnica block) were reprinted in Ravnica Remastered, so I would like to see the ten guildmages from the Return to Ravnica block (i.e., Vizkopa Guildmage, Zameck Guildmage, and so forth) reprinted, as well.

Coalition VictoryGC was reprinted as a timeshifted card, but I would like to see it reprinted in the new frame style, and, Cromat has never been reprinted, either, so it would be nice to see that card in the new frame style, as well.

Given how frequently WotC has reprinted Command Tower, Reliquary Tower, Thespian's Stage, and Exotic Orchard, I really wish that they would reprint Homeward Path and Reflecting Pool more frequently, as well.

Grixis Charm is the only charm from its cycle that has not yet been reprinted, so I would like to see it reprinted, and, similarly, Dromar, the Banisher and Numot, the Devastator are also the only cards in their cycles that have never been reprinted, either, so I definitely would like to see them be reprinted, at some point, as well.

Given that WotC recently reprinted Mikokoro, Center of the Sea twice, it would be nice to see them reprint Miren, the Moaning Well; I understand that High Market is generally superior to the well, but it still would be nice to have the well reprinted, anyway.

Intervention Pact is the only card from its cycle that was not reprinted in Time Spiral remastered, so I definitely would like to see it reprinted, at some point.

The ten lieges were reprinted in the second Double Masters set, but Deathbringer Liege was the only one that had new artwork, so I would like to see all ten reprinted, with new artwork, at some point, and I also would like to see the ten demigods (i.e., Divinity of Pride, Deus of Calamity, and so forth), as well as the ten auras that are associated with them (i.e., Scourge of the Nobilis, Clout of the Dominus, and so forth) reprinted, as well.

I believe that I have mentioned a fairly significant number of cards that I would like to see reprinted, so I shall now open this conversation to other users, here; what are some cards that you very much would like to see be reprinted?

DemonDragonJ on Commander Masters Previews and Speculation

Fungal Shambler and Dromar, the Banisher have never been reprinted, so they definitely deserve to be reprinted in this set.

The Immortal Sun is an all-around awesome card, but it has been printed only once, so I very much would like to see it reprinted, in this set, as well.

I think my most unusual commander is Dromar, the Banisher in Color Shift. Less unusual as a commander, but more unusual as a deck, is my Xantcha, Sleeper Agent {B}{R} pure friendliness group hug, Everyone gets to party! Everyone's invited!.

Basically, I usually mess with the table rather than try for a win.

DemonDragonJ on Double Masters 2022 Predictions and …

4 years ago

Double Masters 2022 will not be released for several months, yet, but I am so excited about it that I wish to begin speculating about it, now. The first Double Masters set was wonderful and contained many great cards, so I have high expectations for the second set, as well, and I am certain that WotC realizes that the players are highly anticipating this set, as well.

Another reprint of Doubling Season would certainly be nice, as that is such an awesome card that it will always be expensive unless it is reprinted frequently, but I know that WotC is not likely to reprint it again, so soon after reprinting it in the first Double Masters set, so reprints of both Anointed Procession and Parallel Lives would also be greatly appreciated.

Rhystic Study, Smothering Tithe, Dockside Extortionist, Edgar Markov, Exquisite Blood, Reflecting Pool, and Vedalken Orrery are all very expensive, so definitely need to be reprinted, in my mind.

Ancient Spider, Book of Rass, Dromar, the Banisher, Fungal Shambler, and Mystic Remora are not especially expensive, but have never been reprinted in the modern card frame, so it would be nice to see them reprinted with it. Similarly, Oloro, Ageless Ascetic and Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis were originally printed in the modern frame, but not the Magic 2015 version of that frame, so I would like to see them reprinted with it.

Chromatic Lantern and Privileged Position are not too expensive, but definitely still should be reprinted, to keep them available and affordable.

I definitely would like to see Absorb, Recoil, and Undermine reprinted, preferably downgraded to uncommons, since I do not feel that they should be rares by today’s standards, and further reprints of Mind Stone, Thought Vessel, Thran Dynamo, and Gilded Lotus would also be nice, as well. Arcane Signet and Commander's Sphere are not expensive, but they are difficult to obtain in foil, so reprints in this set would help with that, but that is not likely to happen, since this is not a Commander set.

What does everyone else say about this? What are your hopes and prediction for Modern Masters 2022?

DemonDragonJ on Mind Over Matter

I have replaced Dromar, the Banisher _ with Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign , because, as much as I wish to have all ten primordial dragons in my decks, Dromar is highly situational, because he hurts his controller three-fifths of the time.

I have replaced Mindleech Mass with Blizzard Specter , mainly because the specter has a lower mana cost than does the mass.

I have replaced Szadek, Lord of Secrets with Nemesis of Reason , because, while it is great that Szadek grows more powerful with each attack, milling my opponents' cards is not a central strategy of this deck, so I cannot afford to pay Szadek's high mana cost.

These three changes together reduced this deck's average converted mana cost from 4.24 to 4.13, which is very nice.

Peoyogon as of right now I'd really like to make a Dromar, the Banisher color manipulation deck...but that's very ambitious. If it proves too difficult I'll probably go with Hanna, Ship's Navigator. Right now I have a decklist of applicable cards on Archidekt here hopefully I find the time to put into it soon.

I absolutely love your deck because it just brings back this mono-colored nostalgic feeling. I used to love Fallen Angel and the fact that it could be replaced by a million and one modern cards but still makes it into your deck is glorious. I'm really hoping to be able to capture that feeling with mine.

I definitely like that new incarnation of Baron Sengir, and the completion of the "bond land" cycle is also very nice; those lands are far too situational for me to ever use them, but I know that many players have been desiring such lands. Hopefully, Zendikar Rising shall complete the cycle of "battle lands."

Keeper of the Accord is very nice, and I definitely shall put a copy of it in ever EDH that I build in the future that contains white, presuming that it shall not be too expensive.

As for reprints, I still am hoping for reprints of Akroma's Memorial, Vedalken Orrery, Dromar, the Banisher, Chromatic Lantern, Arcane Signet, Meteor Crater, Reflecting Pool, and many more, which I shall mention as I remember them. WotC has promised that they would reprint the fetchlands this year, so I imagine that this product shall be the product that contains them, since they are unlikely to ever again reprint them in a standard-legal set.

Given that spoilers for Zendikar Rising start next week, I imagine that there shall not be any more spoilers for this set until after the spoilers for that set are finished, but I am pleased with what has been revealed, this far.

TriusMalarky, most of the cards that I am mentioning are very expensive (such as Akroma's Memorial or Vedalken Orrery), have never been printed in the modern card frame (such as Dromar, the Banisher, Book of Rass or Overabundance), or both (such as Rhystic Study) so I feel that there is nothing wrong with desiring reprints of them; perhaps, if I mention them sufficiently, an employee at WotC may see my posts and realize that there is a desire for those cards to be reprinted.
