"Battlelands" already don't make sense because unless the other 5 are printed in "Ravnica the Third: Battle for Jace's Head" or something, "battle" means impressively nothing.
I have divined your fate. You shall find your nemesis, a catastrophic clash. Devastation, misery for all, the unleashing of horrible curses and ferocious powers. Ruin, such ruin that I dream each night of blessed peace, assured that the universe is in balance once more...
Great reprints although I don't feel that Avatar of Woe needed to be mythic. I guess with this being multiplayer it is much easier to get out for BB, but after so many years of rare it feels odd to see at mythic. At the least they could have given us the promo art.
Avatar of Woe is from the pre mythic era. The cycle would probably be mythic if the rarity existed back then. Sure, they might not be impressive now, but I'm pretty sure it was the first decent big dude cycle.

It's the incarnation of a rare with a mythic feel!
I understand, and to be fair Woe is probably the most mythic out of the cycle, with the others being rare at best. It does make sense for it to be mythic here when it will be far easier to get out for 6 less, but seeing it at mythic does feel wrong, at least to me. I'm not going to rant over it, like I do with other things, but I'm just not a fan of it.
As for Damnation I'm glad it isn't here, because they would have made it mythic and it shouldn't be mythic. If Wrath of God can be rare in Eternal Masters than so can Damnation. Plus we've gotten so many other things in this set that I knew we couldn't get everything that we've all been waiting for. This is the least I'm going to be salty of the lack of Damnation as this set is the best we've gotten in years.

Nope. The Elder Dragons were earlier and felt both mythic and powerful. Back in their days. A whole format was created upon their making. A whole storyline was bound to theirs. Nicol Bolas is still, perhaps equal to Phyrexia and the Eldrazi, the big bad villain in the known multiverse. Without the Elder Dragons the storyline of Mirrodin, Phyrexia, Alara, Tarkir, Ugin, Sarkhan, Zendikar, the Eldrazi and the Gatewatch would not be the same.
I said decent, not the first cycle. 6 colored mana symbols and an upkeep on a 7/7 legendary flier for 8? They should have all had something insane like Bolas. The avatar cycle is all ok for 8 and insane for 2 mana.
So the most of the set has been great but putting Sphinx of magosi is boarderline offensive to me.
Its in the blue welcome deck, they literially give that card way for free, why is it in conspiracy? make a more interesting sphinx even if it isn't played outside of limited just so you don't make me pay for a free card.
Those who follow the magic EU Twitter can see there are more new cards/reprints spoiled than those shown on this thread or the spoiler including some new conspiracies. I'm on my phone so I can't add pics, but just FYI

EDH was built as a way to get use out of the Elder Dragons, who were terrible in constructed play but popular because of lore and the fact that they were ancient dragons.
Only Bolas ever felt powerful, the cycle itself was terribad.

I'm noticing several duplicate rares and mythics in that pool.
That makes me suspect CN2 is packaged in a way similar to CNS
(my CNS box had two copies of Dack Fayden and Misdirection, among other things).
