Come to think about it, is Sol Ring coming back again? It has been around so much to the point I think they don't even want to mention it if it does come back.
Command Tower, on the other hand, better be coming back, there's no such thing as enough Command Towers when I see people owning over a dozen multicolored EDH decks.
With so many unimpressive new cards, I'm really hoping the Boros deck packs some desirable reprints. Austere Command has been needing a reprint for *years* now.
If they pass over it again, I won't be surprised, but I will be annoyed. Final Judgment and Hallowed Burial are also fairly in need of a reprint. Gamble would be great, as would Sneak Attack or Oblivion Stone,
but I think they would have shown those as previews if they were
Austere Command was reprinted in a commander product already, so I'd prefer not to see it in another one so soon.
"So soon"?
That was several years ago, and it's almost $10

I think we get the full decklists spoiled today, so that's exciting! I'm really hoping for the Beacon Cycle to be reprinted, along with some other much needed reprints. Here's to hoping the decks are sweet!

RIP Batman guy. I hope somebody picks up the slack now that you are gone. Sick children need their Batman.

"Several"? I mean I guess - its only been 5. There's about 1750 new Magic Cards printed every year. You want every relevant card to be printed every 5 years or sooner? And its only $7. Reprint it in something else if it has to be reprinted (Duel Deck, or MM or something). There's only been 5 Commander releases (counting this year's), rare cards don't need to show up in multiple runs of the same product over such a short time period. I'd be happy for Hallowed Burial (7 years old) or Final Judgement (10 years old), just not Austere Command (even though the other 2 are about half the price).

I would argue Prime Speaker Zegana was a decent choice,
but the other choices were rather poor.
These are apparently aimed at people who didn't play three years ago
Don't get me wrong. I love Zegana. She lead one of my decks until I added black to it but she still holds a place in it. But still, if they wanted a +1/+1 counter commander they could have gone with Kraj.
I will admit though. I got a chuckle out of Teysa with all the people wanting her older version.

Yeah The decks look fun, but WAAAAY too many cards that have been printed recently
Actually I really like the reprint choices, especially Dragon Mage and more Lightning Greaves. The deck lists do look like a lot of fun and make sense, except for reprints like Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts. Still not sure though if I'm going to pick up anything other than Plunder the Graves.

There are certainly plenty of decent reprints, but not many great reprints, the only one I can think of that would be "great" is Phyrexian Arena. Lot's of $3-$4 reprints, but not many that were above $5 or close to $10.
I would say minimal. Infect is not a particularly favored mechanic in EDH as it subverts the commander damage idea.
As far as reprints go, I am going to lock in my guesses before previews start:
RW: Brion Stoutarm. Obvious giant synergy is obvious.
GB: Savra, Queen of the Golgari. Though Skullbriar is a close second
WB: Vish Kal,Blood Arbiter. Hard to find, powerful to build around.
UR: Nin, The Pain Artist. Similar to Vish, is a lot of fun but being from the original EDH makes it hard to get
UG: Experiment Kraj. Probably the hardest to pick, Momir is my next best guess, with Edric excluded only because of his relatively recent printing in conspiracy.
Not. Even. One.
I really dont understand how my list didn't hit even close to one of the correct reprints. These would have been so much better than the RTR dudes.

RIP Batman guy. I hope somebody picks up the slack now that you are gone. Sick children need their Batman.
It did come on Friday a week before release last year, though.
That would be the ultimate troll move for Wizards to do that.
