She seems more likely to be reprinted in a Commander product, to be honest: she fits there better than a product about Modern. That said, there is that other Black Mythic from New Phyrexia that needs a reprint: Phyrexian Obliterator. That one is a 4-of in a few (admittedly fringe) decks in Modern.
At some point, MM isn't going to be enough to supply needed Modern staples. I guess it's just a matter of time before we see something like Tempest Remastered in print. Who wouldn't love to draft Scars of Mirrodin Remastered, or Zendikar Remastered, instead of Conspiracy?
My own hypothesis on the direction they will take is do something like what they did in Time Spiral with return sets and have cards from the past set added as bonus cards, potentially increasing the number of cards per pack. Then they combine that with modern masters to hit more cards in modern.

That would make more sense, except WOTC has an odd habit of throwing EDH cards into these sets that could easily go into the annual Commander product instead. I think that we'd all prefer them to do so, but they have a history of doing it and I don't expect it to change.
Hold on there. Are you saying that you don't want another copy of Wolfbriar Elemental? Crazy talk.
As an EDH player I was seriously pissed off to see that thing in MM2. See, throwing commander a few bones is all well and good but they should be cards that are either hard to find, or don't take up a rare slot. Something like Doubling Season was a great inclusion in MM1 for that reason.

My Commander decks:
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
I would love a copy of Doubling Season and I think it unlikely to appear in a Commander product given its price on the secondary market... where do people see it included in the future?

Best places would probably be Conspiracy, Masters line, Masterpiece (when enchantments are the focus), and Commander.

The only thing worse than that would be opening 2 wolfbriars. (1 regular and 1 foil). I've seen packs like that in Magic 2014.

Any danger of Sheoldred, Whispering One seeing a reprint? Commander staple that is expensive and tough to get in the UK...
EDH always gets some love in these sets. It's possible. That said, she's solidly mythic, so she'd be competing against black Modern mythics like Liliana of the Veil, Dark Confidant, and Bitterblossom, as well as other EDH cards Dead Mike and Skittles. There are probably going to be two monoblack mythic slots, and one of them is almost definitely going to be Liliana. So, call it s 20% chance, based on my made-up slate?
I don't really disagree but I will just point out the cycle of Kamigawa Dragons in MM1. These were almost-universally met with a collective shrug, and I believe this time we might see Praetors instead, several of which are rather expensive, which apparently won't hurt their chances.
If they were going to do the Praetors as a mythic cycle, they would've done it in MM15 when the focus was on Zendikar and New Phyrexia. We ended up getting Elesh, but not the rest.
The only guarantee we got is that they are going to reprint a small subsection of modern and cause the rest of the prices of cards to spike once the spoiler is released. So it's basically praying to the greater gods that whatever you want gets printed in MM3, because if it isn't there's a good chance the price is going up on a few things.

Being reprinted doesn't always exclude it, Wolfbriar Elemental was reprinted two times in the year before MM2. What excludes something being reprinted multiple times in one or two years is its price.
I want to see her promo art as well if they do reprint her, but I think she will more likely show up in a commander product or eternal masters. Then again, they may go with a draft theme that could make good use of her ability, so who knows.

Her promo art is freaking beautiful and I want one so much. But yeah I don't mind what supplement product it comes from, just that they do reprint her. The draft theme is actually easy as they haven't done it before in past MM, Lands. This could be a chance to reprint other stuff like in addition to Azusa, Lost but Seeking like Amulet of Vigor, Bloodghast or even Lotus Cobra with its promo artwork.

They can always bump down or up rarities in order to make room. Like a really easy example is Reach of Branches. Was a rare in its original set and it gets bumped down to an uncommon in its reprint.

That doesn't preclude it,

it hasn't been that high, but I think it DID increase for 2? I don't remember, because obviously msrp was irrelevant and the markup was criminal
