It's hilarious how we get hoser after hoser in this set of Masterpieces. The Consulate is definitely cracking down and making themselves sound less sympathetic (and this is from someone who still can't sympathize with the overly reckless rebels).
Vedalken Shackles is full of surprising amounts of flavour win (there are enough Vedalken in the Consulate).
Guys the two missing master pieces are phyrexian metamorph and spellskite, oh mah lord phyrexians are coming to aether revolt
These were both impossible even before the confirmation of being new. Phyrexian Metamorph is colored and wouldn't be sorted alphabetically with the colorless (this is why the Gearhulks were bunched together last batch). And Spellskite was alphabetically out (the missing cards could only have begun with O and P, or P and P).
My guess: The first five characters of #43 is "Pia's".
EDIT:
Also, Ornithopter sees so much play across so many formats and has such a long history in MtG that I would be surprised if it remained under $30-$40.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
Lots of staples for older formats.
While Im excited to pull one from the few boosters I will open, I look forward to own none with the ridiculous prices they have
The two new cards are the Captain Multiverse Gearhulk which is powered by the planeswalker mana when they combine their powers and summon it. Followed by the colourless enemy gearhulk which is basically an eldrazi but an artifact too.
I hope it isn't but you never know what the child like minds of the story writers of wizards will come up with. Godforbid they give it a name like Mana-zord or Mana-Voltron.
I suspect one of them is actually the Heart of Kiran as it is a mythic artifact and is basically Weatherlight 2.0. I will be super pissed off if it becomes jace's personal pimp mobile as a) he doesn't need it and b) he's a douche. What we need are actually decent legends to mount the things like Teysa or Ink-eyes. That would be super sweet.
Heart of Kiran doesn't fit with the alphabetical numbering. Also, I laughed my ass off, thanks.

i really like these. even the less desired ones. i'm not sure why. i mean, opening an ornithopter is probably going to be a huge let down, but something about this set of them is just... way more interesting than the first round.
Hmm. Is Onrithopter going to be an auto-include in your Pre-release deck? It is the best damn blocker ever, true, but it adds no value to offensive assaults and can't crew anything.
I also love how tongue-in-cheek some of the flavor texts are on these cards, Ornithopter and Sundering Titan especially
"Kiora is the Aquaman of planeswalkers."
"Useless and everyone pretends to like her?"
Platinum angel seriously whys that a masterpiece
2 are missing so that must Be are Christmas surprise
Sundering Titan love it. but sadly this is banned in commander
Duplicant :p:p:p that is the sexiest art I have ever seen of that card

As the link in your post shows, it was already printed in Kaladesh.
Evidence please
EDIT: nope they confirmed it's 2 new cards in Aether revolt
(Basicly this 2 missing masterpieces are getting the same treatment as the gearhulks.)
Of course there are two left to be revealed but I'm confident in my chances.
BGU [Primer] Sidisi, Brood Tyrant BGU | BG [Primer] Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest BG | G [Primer] Polukranos, World Eater G

The two missing cards are in fact new and see their first printing in AER
Sword of Body and Mind is looking really beautiful here. As is Platinum Angel. And Arcbound Ravager will look so impressive in person, that lightning should be capivating in foil.
Of course now all, what I'm curious about is what the two new Inventions could be that are from AER itself.
Vedalken Shackles is full of surprising amounts of flavour win (there are enough Vedalken in the Consulate).
Still fancy and awesome. Ornithopter made me giggle.
Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)
No clue. Maybe because Consulate can't win against Rebels as long they control an Angel?

A lot of Modern and Legacy staples in this batch.

Ha, good one!
Awesome selection though, they did a good job on these.
I could not agree more. Let's hope it's in AER. I want to Needle Gideon and Marvel.

Oh, duh.
I forgot it was there with SoFaI and SoLaS.
Looks like all of my predictions came true except for Gilded Lotus.
I can live with that.
