So looking at past announcements for FTV sets they've announced the theme by 2/18. The last one later than this date was realms which was announced on 2/29 (last leap year we had oddly enough.) Has anyone heard anything about FTV for 2016?

^^ This would not surprise me at all. Eternal Masters & Modern Masters made them WAY more money than dinky individual 15-card sets. Just think of the difference in scale, not to mention the atrocious packaging cost associated with that product compared to simple foil booster packs.
I don't know why they'd ever bother with anything else ever again, honestly. If they ever really figure things out, they'll start including ultra-mythic/expedition/lottery pack stuff in those products as well.

Not to mention FTV's have always been known to be THE product that almost never gets sold at MSRP. It doesn't surprise me if they only go with a "booster only" style of selling stuff and only leave the on DD per block to help sell it.

Last I checked it was never the purpose to have those sold at MSRP. Wizards themselves described it as a gift to the shops for working with them throughout the year.

Because no shops charge more than MSRP for other products.
I would not be surprised if they got rid of this line of products, but I am doubtful they did. They are probably waiting a more appropriate time to release info.

This is why I hate FTV, "it's a thank you to the shops, so stop complaining about the absolute daylight robbery prices they charge XD". Where's the playerbase's thanks for supporting the game and buying their products? Oh right never mind they scrapped player rewards years ago and keep getting rid of things like PW duel decks ect.
Well, as much as it pains me for them to get rid player rewards, I would argue they AT LEAST had a better/logical excuse for its removal.(That being said, they could/should have replaced it with something else...)
I hate the bloated packaging, and I`d rather play with damaged condition white bordered cards with ***** drawings than those gaudy-ass plastic looking ultra foils, but I still hope that they don`t discontinue the FTV sets unless they establish a similar reprint channel. It`s basically the one place in their entire product line where they can reprint pretty much anything they want without concern that it will ruin a limited environment, break Standard or cause Commander/Duel Decks sets to get hoarded.

Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
Is there a rule that new art from FTV series can't be reprinted? I really hope the Venser, Gilded Lotus, and Mox Diamond arts can appear on reprints somewhere else. I can't stand foils at all (especially FTV foils) and hope these cards are reprinted with their FTV art elsewhere.
From the Vault was quietly murdered by Eternal Masters and Expeditions. Why sell 15 needed reprints in a single box when you can stuff them randomly in $9.99 booster packs or put one in every 112 packs of the current Standard set.

This.
If they discontinue these, I don't know where I could ever hope to reasonably expect a Modern Frame Stasis reprint
(and continue to be disappointed by the absence of said reprint).

Aaand with Conspiracy 2 announced for August, I guess we can safely asume that FTV will be replaced by anual Something Masters sets. Something I like by the way, as I nevef bought a FTV but was always a fan of the casual sets, and I was sad because they seemed to be replaced by this Masters sets.

Mox Diamond is reserved, so that one can't happen.

Hey all... I'm retired, not dead. Check out what I'm doing these days (and beg me to come back if you want):

swords to plowshares was reprinted in conspiracy with the new art by T.Nielsen from FTV 20, so it is reasaonable to expect the new art to appear in new printings of those cards.
That art originated in Elspeth v. Tezzeret though, not FTV: 20.

The set is definitely done. They need a lot of lead time before a release.

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