They aren't going to put strictly colorfixing lands at mythic, ever. If they do it's a sad day for magic indeed as I shudder what would have happened if polluted delta had been a mythic rare in KTK.
This neither confirms nor denies it. It's hard to get a picture that crappy.
One of the reasons for bumping Tarmogoyf to Mythic was to "preserve the value" of older versions. With that rationale, I could absolutely see them bumping the Zen fetches to Mythics in a $10-per-pack premium product. Which shows how much I trust Wizards to do right by the people who want Magic cards so that they can play games with them.
If that were the rationale then Eternal Masters will be the first set to only have rares and mythics. Otherwise, why bother paying a whopping $10 a pack? Some cards need to be common and uncommon and for that price tag they better not be junk commons and uncommons (or at least cards that really need a reprint in modern border). 'Cause both Force of Will and Wasteland were uncommons bumped to mythic and rare.
This would be a great chance to reprint the tutors from all 3 Portal sets which were already rare. Is there a rarity higher than mythic? WotC would probably create one for those cards (if they were to be reprinted). Wouldn't surprise me if they pull an Expeditions type thing with Eternal Masters where broken cards that will be reprinted were in such a rarity as Zendikar Expeditions.
The Zendikar fetchlands should've been reprinted in the latest commander product. It was enemy colored. You can't make a slot for a fetchland? They're ridiculously expensive. Even so, they're used more in eternal formats because eternal formats includes pretty much all cards. So fetchlands fetch for tango lands, shock lands, and dual lands. So it would make sense to reprint them in eternal masters. However, I still won't get my hopes up (for a Liliana of the Veil or Snapcaster Mage reprint either. I find that they have better odds in appearing in Eldritch Moon than in Eternal Masters).

So just after we get done with the process of slowing down standard with fetchlands and having every match consist of at least 10-15 more times shuffling than usual needs for shuffling, they are going to put the Zen Fetches into standard?

Yeah....
Just no.....
This is about Eternal Masters, which is not Standard legal (though I wouldn't be surprised if Modern legal cards are included). Methinks you may have not read carefully enough.
Tarmogoyf is in an entirely different boat from colorfixing lands that you need. The level of outrage WotC would generate if they put zen fetches at mythic would be higher than practically everything else they could do. There is no precedent for colorfixing lands at mythic. If they had been intent on preserving the value of fetches polluted delta would have been mythic because it got up to something like $100 before it was reprinted at rare and basically crashed the value for it. They have very few mythic slots per set and they aren't going to put a whole cycle of lands at it either.

I would put snapcaster as less likely to return to standard than counterspell. If they aren't reprinting tarmogoyf into standard they aren't reprinting snapcaster mage. Liliana of the veil is also quite unlikely especially since LotV grows in power level the slower the format is and standard just keeps getting weaker. It was fine last time around due to lingering souls and being badly positioned as well as that standard having a very high power level.
Enemy fetches weren't in the commander decks because for whatever reason WotC cares who buys specific products, when that is the last thing that a business should care about. Let's say Bill Gates bought every single commander precon in the world and no one else got any. I know I certainly wouldn't care as a corporation because money is money.
Rarity above mythic is special a la power 9 reprints on modo, which is 1:54 packs if I remember correctly. If they reprinted, say, imperial seal and put it at special rarity it wouldn't surprise me. I find imperial seal to be unlikely in this product though given that they would rather just judge promo it to preserve the value despite the strictly better version being less than a tenth of the price.

Right, the fake here is pretty obvious, so this is getting locked right about...now.
