WOOT WOOT! Sneak Attack is great, need some for my EDH decks.
Necro is fine, if they are going to make cheaper mythics they better at least make sense (Unlike comet storm)
Charbelcher is ok, I like how they are handling the "bulk" rares of the set, cards that are at least played in eternal formats.
Deathrite is great
Bloodbraid elf is a great uncommon.
no idea on why reprint Necropotence though...
it's crazy powerful, sure, but banned in legacy, restricted in vintage, doesn't see any play because of that, it's not expensive or anything.
seems only to be there so you get angry when your mythig rare is a necropotence.
I am kind of disappointed in Deathrite because it is only a few years old but it isn't legal in Modern so I understand it here. Bloodbraid makes no sense really because it doesn't see play anywhere now (It did in Modern when it was legal) and is moderately powered in Limited so congrats?
The rest so far are fantastic although my hopes of a Demonic Tutor reprint are likely crushed with Necro taking a Mythic slot but oh well.

Why do people forget that Commander is an Eternal format too?
Necropotence is a big card in certain Commander strategies.

Demonic Tutor was an uncommon in the Duel Deck. I could see it being a possible rare in this set just because of what Wizards is putting in the Mythic spots.

Demonic Tutor could at least realistically be a rare, even if that isn't the most likely scenario.
I also find it interesting that the Eternal Masters Packaging doesn't feature any Mythic Rare cards. With the exception of Noble Hierarch, every Modern Masters packaging featured a Mythic Rare card.

A duel deck and a set that will have a Limited environment are two different things. Tutor is way too powerful to be an UC and more than likely so for Rare. It would need to be a mythic because of power level. Necropotence is more powerful and is at Mythic level.

Rare would be very powerful in a Limited environment and Wizards is pushing this set to be drafted. It is a possibility but a very slim one at that

First, I said rare.
Second, Rare is a possibility because part of what makes Tutors powerful is the cards that they tutor for. In a Limited format, generally the best thing they can tutor for is a three drop. That's not to say that two mana for any card is not powerful on its own with the potential to warp formats, but I doubt players will be able to string enough spells together to make it live to its full potential.

Oh yeah, good thing Bloodbraid Elf isn't a pricy uncommon, so the Eternal Masters update for my Raymond Swanland collection isn't going to cost high (for now at least).

they could have put necro in just for limited play and have it more available for commander but I can't see availability being an issue
Sigh...let me temper my lack of enthusiasm by saying, in purely an informational way, that I had no problem cracking Deathrites during Return to Ravnica. I don't know if I could handle it if I opened it as my rare. Also temper that by the understanding I will be cracking few, if any, packs based on current MSRP and likely actual RP.
I mean, I guess at least Necro is played? It was obvious by the set being named "Eternal" that they were going to find some low value Vintage only staples to make mythic....
So when are we going to start getting the spoilers for the limited draft fodder that will inevitably be in this set? I suppose they want to wait for more preorders to go through first.

Overall nice first day of spoilers.
EDH says high for Necropotence
And a Storm Crow! LOL.

Also, Jace, the Mind Sculptor is confirmed.
