Makes a TON of sense for this set. In multiplayer, this card truly becomes a double edge sword, way more than it would be in basic 1 on 1. Great card that could definitely use a reprint. Brilliant inclusion if real imo.
If true, Eternal Masters is certainly looking more and more suspect, yikes.
Honestly not sure I agree with the EMA comment. I mean look at some of the cards it had:
FoW
Wasteland
Karakas
Mana Crypt
JtMS
Sneak Attack
Top
Vampiric Tutor
Natural Order
Entomb
etc.
These are all $20+ cards. All good and relevant cards, and many of them really could've used a reprint. Yes, a card like this would really make this set top heavy, but there were a lot of really great, expensive rares in EMA that brought serious value that I don't think we'll see the likes of in this set.
Don't get me wrong, Berserk and S&T would be absolutely bonkers for an unlimited print run set that costs $4 a pack, but the odds you get market value for a pack aren't as good as in EMA imo.

Nope. For Tempest through Urza's Destiny, only some Rares were added to the Reserved List, at Wizards' discretion. Show and Tell is one of the Rares from those sets that was not included on the Reserved List and kept eligible for reprinting. At the time, it was a janky bulk rare because super-abusable permanents like Griselbrand, Omniscience and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn hadn't been printed yet. The repeatable effect of Dream Halls was a lot more popular (and, incidentally, is Reserved).
The name and number crunch for this set predicts 12 mythics.
We already know 10 of them, and we know for sure one of the unknowns is a conspiracy card.
If Show and Tell is in at Mythic,
then either there is no black Mythic,
or there are more than 12 (15?)

While I'd much prefer Damnation as I play more black than blue and not this type of blue, I'd be overjoyed to open this in a pack, and would applaud Wizards for being this ballsy. Make it happen!

probably 12 normal mythics and the one mythic conspiracy sovereign's realm. I find this kind of funny because they sort of sneaked this on us during oath of the gatewatch but now we have small sets sitting at 12 mythics instead of 10 which i feel is a ploy to sell more packs because now the chase mythics are harder to pull. I guess this is their way of selling more packs of small sets now that they rotate 6 months earlier.

I find it hard to believe that it was ever 10 in the first place. It's a weird number to print on a sheet - 2x5? 3x4 is more of a standard size for sheet runs.
EDIT: Turns out the sheets are 11x11. I guess they have multiple copies of each on a sheet?
I can't say I'm pleased to see you and must warn you I may have to do something about it.

That's all of the mythics listed on the MTGS spoiler page: 9 cards, unless I missed one or there's one missing from the page. Which should leave another mythic conspiracy slot, a Black mythic slot, and a "wild card" mythic slot, which is where Show and Tell would fit in.

"The true measure of all heroes is not what they achieve, but who they inspire." —Triumph of Gerrard
They've already stated that there are two mythic conspiracies, on the very page that revealed Sovreign's Realm.
The guess of "Ten plus two" is a side effect of the previous Conspiracy set having 10 mythic cards, with the known boost of the two mythic conspiracies.
But it is true that lately, small sets have had a greater number of mythics available.
That said, even if it were only ten non-conspiracy mythics, we'd still have room for one more.

if the conspiracies are on their own sheet(s) again, then the mythic conspiracies are a bonus (similar to Maze's End and all the DFCs).
I've only half been paying attention, I'm not sure if the draft matters cards work the same way this time.
edit: I think I misread, it seems like this was already known.
Still unconfirmed but looks quite real.
The numbers work as well.
If true, Eternal Masters is certainly looking more and more suspect, yikes.

Nope, oddly enough. My understanding is only a percentage of Urza's block cards were on the RL, and this wasn't on it.
but this would mean no black Mythic,
so I'm inclined to doubt it.
I'd love to be wrong though-
I certainly need these more than Damnation.

Where are you getting 10 from?
Sovereign's Realm
Sanctum Prelate
Expropriate
Subterranean Tremors
Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast
Kaya, Ghost Assassin
Leovold, Emissary of Trest
Queen Marchesa
Berserk

We're currently at: Sanctum Prelate; Expropriate; Subterranean Tremors; Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast; Kaya, Ghost Assassin; Leovold, Emissary of Trest; Queen Marchesa; and Berserk.
With Show and Tell, that would make 9 Mythics known in the "Non-Draft Matters" space. Which leaves room for at least one more.
Ron Swanson's theory also makes sense. I hadn't noticed literally all of the gold Mythics were part black.
