Discounting Oblivion Stone's recent spike (4 years after it was printed in Heavenly Inferno), the most expensive reprint we've ever gotten out of a boxed product is Demonic Edict.
Don't even expect reprints over $10 to happen in a Commander product. The best we can hope for are new legacy staples like Flusterstorm, Toxic Deluge or True-Name Nemesis.
Baleful Strix was over $10 (around $20 if I'm correct) when it showed up again in Commander 2013. Most Recently Wurmcoil Engine was over that $10 point as well.
Also I know im beating a dead horse here but chances of fetches?

SonofaBith - Wizards was so excited about making the packaging for Modern Masters 2 recyclable, they decided to make most of the rares and all but 1 of the UC's recycle-bin ready too. Convenient!
Maybe we will get hybrid commanders, they are usually easier to play and have great flavor. We just had a lot of gold Legends lately so it would be a nice change.

I like that idea a lot. For the most part the Fate legendaries were pretty on point (except for the white one... OOOF that one blew chunks!] and I would like to see that. It gives you the option to run dual color instead of tri.

To the people that say that a card needs to be a higher rarity because of Limited... I hate you guys so much. I present to you with this.

Daughatar was a fair card.
The real problem with him is Ghave is busted.

Oath of the Gatewatch; the set that caused the competitive community to freak out over Basic Lands.
- I'd like to see Sensei's Diving Top, but I had read somewhere that it increases the duration of mtg games by like 20% or something, and I think wizards is trying to avoid anything that's just basically slowing down the game without doing anything beneficial towards the game (I guess looking at the top card. However, if they don't reprint it, I would like them to make a card similar to it that just Scry's 1.
- The Signets
- Volrath's Stronghold (Needs a serious reprint and I can't imagine where else would be a better fit)

Well with enemy color hybrid have narrower design space since all the abilities has to be possible in both color pie and we just had legendaries with hybrid abilities in fate. I think they would like to do something different so C15 doesn't look like old khans in 2 colors.

Sorry to say, but Volrath's Stronghold is on the Reserved List. So no reprints for that card.
Enemy Borderposts (because Talismans will be too strong). That's all I care about. Hell, I'd be ECSTATIC if they gave us these.
I'd also love to see enemy-colored versions of the Flood Plain cycle,
but I doubt we'll be seeing such things here-
I'd be really surprised if they printed any new two-color mana cycles at all,
rather than just something like Command Tower/Opal Palace/Commander's Sphere.

I can't believe that card is still only $20...
Pretty much every Reserved List card played in EDH has shot up,
but not Volrath's Stronghold (and it sees no shortage of play, either).

While I doubt they'd want to use five whole new card slots just for lands, an enemy cycle of Storage lands would be nice.
Reprints of the enemy Filterlands would also be nice, though some of them reach ridiculous prices. Twilight Mire goes for $37.50 on StarCity right now, while Rugged Prairie goes for just $13.15. The rest are $20-30.
I think we can definitely count on some Signet reprints, along with perhaps Keyrunes and Cluestones. Bouncelands, Gates, and KTK Refuges are also likely shoe-ins. Can't forget utility lands either, though those tend to be a little more lopsided when it comes to commander value.
Orzhova, the Church of Deals might be slightly useful in a lifegain deck, but is the second worst. Nivix, Aerie of the Firemind is easily the worst of the bunch, and yet is more likely to find a place in Commander than anywhere else thanks to the higher average mana curve. Svogthos, the Restless Tomb works great in a deck that wants a fat graveyard like one Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord would want to lead. Probably the second best overall. Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion can be really good in tandem with a hard-hitting commander and is probably the best of the five RAV enemy utilands. Novijen, Heart of Progress works with a +1/+1 counter theme which the GU deck is highly likely to have. Probably the middle of the bunch.
There's also the Innistrad utilands to consider:
Vault of the Archangel can be very swingy with lifegain and deathtouch on all your creatures. Problem is, they don't yet have a WB legend who easily supports the army this card wants. Desolate Lighthouse is brilliantly simple with its repeat looting effect, which enables Flashback and Miracle strategies really well in tandem with Scrying. And the card draw means this land works in almost any UR deck. Grim Backwoods is a great way to fill your graveyard while also refilling your hand, and gets extra value out of tokens. Slayers' Stronghold is probably the least impressive utiland out of its cycle, but at least its effect is cheap. Alchemist's Refuge providing flash for any noncreature spell makes it good in any GU deck.
The Innistrad utilands are more even in quality overall, though in contrast to the RAV cycle the INN cycle's RW land is probably the worst part.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Also keep in mind that new cards going in a single deck will be Rares, in 2 or more decks are Uncommons, and in all decks are Commons.
It would be a waste of rares just for a cycle of actual uncommon lands (edit: or common artifacts). Such cards would work better in actual sets.
Not that I wouldn't want those, just that its unlikely they'll show up here

I think we will see something like this even they want to do three color decks.

We haven't seen them to mythic rare hybrid, thier might be a little more wiggle room. Example a W/B (or even B/R) hybrid creature with double strike.

I doubt it, only because the Red deck from last year was artifact themed. Maybe it will have a sub-artifact theme.
Maybe not a theme, but I don't think a UR is completely out of the picture. Commander 2013 had Sydri, Galvanic Genius, then Commander 2014 had Daretti, Scrap Savant. So I don't think a artifact commander is out of the picture for this release. Unless Chandra's homeplane set is around the corner, then they might hold off on a UR artifact commander.

What color could he be U, UB the theme this year is enemy color and I don't think they will but non commander legendary like they did in 2011.
Still Bruenna from Mirrodin got a card...
Agreed. Most new players will just think they are new Commanders anyway.

Dunno; You'd see a ton of singles on the market so people would be able to grab the cards they wanted anyway.
