Starting to doubt the reality of all of the eldrazi, since that would make 6 colorless mythics already.
I mentioned this in a Mythic prediction in the main MM2 thread a long time ago, but I wouldn't be shocked if Ulamog is left out thanks to the FTV printing. Also, I've seen it mentioned in speculation that it makes sense storyline/flavor wise for him to be reprinted in the next block.
Doesn't daybreak coronet being so high in the number crunch lend some credibility back to the Eldrazi being mythics
Probably... but either way the white rares/mythics before the coronet should be moved to new locations to reflect that confirmed number. (right now elesh norn, iona, etc are clearly too early)

I would suspect strongly that if we see any of the old eldrazi come back it will be with new cards. I highly doubt they would come back to do eldrazi again and settle for reprints of the big mythics instead of spinning up some new flavor and story. If we were to have ever gotten reprints of eldrazi in a standard release set I would have assumed it would be a core set but with those going out now I think its unlikely we will really see reprints of any of the main eldrazi legends in standard releases moving forward.
I could see them bringing back some of the lesser cards as reprints but when it comes to big mythic legends it just doesn't strike me that you would see a second printing of one of them without a flavor and or story modification to their cards.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
If Emrakul is #3, the only potential cards that could be #1 and #2 are All is Dust and Eldrazi Conscription
You are also forgetting Artisan of Kozilek
Yup, I missed that somehow.
Ghostfire is also a maybe, but I feel like that would end up in red due to its mana cost.
Ghostfire doesn't fit into the Name and Number Crunch since Emrakul is 3 and Karn is 4.
I honestly think we will see Artisan and Eldrazi Conscription just because 5 colorless (non-artifact) mythics seems like a lot. I would like to see All is Dust and Eldrazi Conscription at 1 and 2 though, so I will keep hoping until they reveal them.

This is my thoughts as well. Though until Artisan of Kozilek is confirmed I don't know which way they'll go. There is obviously a strong Tron theme going, which supports All is Dust in a sense, but with Daybreak Coronet in now, they'll need to put a few more cards in for an "Enchantment matters" theme. So 2 bomby Rares and some support commons/uncommons. I say I'm waiting until Artisan is confirmed or not as it has complete control over the other 2.

Agreed. Since the Emrakul, the Aeons Torn announcement, and later, the Karn Liberated announcement, I didn't see Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre being included here because of the FtV printing whilst assuming Kozilek, Butcher of Truth would be later spoiled (now confirmed). Considering we now have Emrakul, Karn, Kozilek, and Mox Opal filling mythic rare slots and possibly All is Dust (only one of three alphabetical possibilities before Emrakul) and/or Eye of Ugin (maybe being downgraded to rare?) on the horizon, I see Ulamog being left out -- complete cycles needn't happen in this product (both the commands & the pacts weren't complete in MM1). I believe all three Eldrazi titans will get new card iterations in BFZ.
Furthermore, I believe we can change Tezzeret the Seeker TO Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas based on a multitude of reasons:
1) Confirmed on the Mothership today, were MM2015 participation avatar awards for Dark Confidant (in MM2015) and Tezzeret, AoB.
2) Precedence reason 1: Last MM saw two Shards block PW, would we really get a third Shards PW in this product (so soon)?!
3) Precedence reason 2: With two Shards block PW last MM release, I believe we will see two Scars PW this time (Karn already in).
4) Tezzeret, AoB also would fill the U/B dual-coloured card as Sarkhan Vol filled the R/G dual-colour slot in the previously MM release.
Yes, I do realise that reasons 2-4 are more speculative in nature, where as reason 1 is an inference.

I understand the speculation behind it and it can easily fit in the Metalcraft/Affinity decks, but Tezzeret the Seeker also fits in the same decks too. I'll change it when a little more information is known.
Ensnaring Bridge has come up a few times. Really? Outside of two fringe decks, it doesn't really see play. Also it's been forever since a reprint, and it seems sort of against Wizards' current creature-first philosophy. Don't get me wrong. I just got four of them. Love the card. But I'd be really surprised if they reprinted it. And happy.
