I know WotC was trying to tie them into the set somehow, but the choices feel really random, like the cohesive glue that is supposed to hold them together is a bit of a weak bond. I guess the 20/20 hind sight of this go-a-round is why these special foiled sets aren't going to be in every set, just when they feel appropriate.

Well that and eventually they would have to start doubling back on released ones and release them again. I mean there is a lot of stuff they can do with these not on the reserve list but after 5-6 more sets of these you would likely go over a majority of the most notable cards.

WotC feels the same way, which is why Masterpieces is going to become a sometimes thing rather than every set going forward.
As for the current batch of Invocations, at least the art some of them looks nice. Like Blood Moon and Shatterstorm. I'm a little meh on the selection though, at least so far.

It's about time for the reserved list to die, for the sake of Vintage and Legacy (And Commander).
I don't think the Scorpion God should be considered one right now. If the other 2 gods start with "The", it won't fit
Nvm, just saw it was added
"The" in a card title is ignored when alphabetizing cards for collector number. See The Chain Veil in M15 and The Gitrog Monster in Shadows over Innistrad.
They should have just done all instants. Lightning Bolt, FoW, Daze, Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile, Dismember, Abrupt Decay, Pyroblast, Dark Blast, so on and so on. That would have been good. Or even just instants and sorceries.

WoTC, thank you for finally announcing the Modern format, an eternal format where everyone can participate.
Wizards are seriously scrapping the bottom of the barrel... Whoever thought of doing this for every set (until the recent announcement) is seriously undermining the masterpiece series.
Invocations spoiled so far Capsize, Forbid, Opposition, Avatar of Woe, Damnation, Desolation Angel, Diabolic Edict, No Mercy, Slaughter Pact Blood Moon, Shatterstorm, Choke, Lord of Extinction and The Scorpion God
ETA Sunder Through the Breach, Boil, Doomsday, Omniscience, Threads of Disloyalty, Armageddon and Thoughtseize
The two unrevealed cards are expected to be The Locust God and The Scarab God so no cruel ultimatum invocation
They can be seen Here

Feel free to bid on my cards here!

It's Edict -- I'm not sure what the original source was, but I did see it on Reddit (link).
Very underrepresented
No spoilers on the white 26-31 cards yet.
That scorpion God invocation is just disappointing. Should have been much better art.
51 could be the locust God and 53 could be the Scarab God.
That bumps Nicol Bolas himself out of the set.
What is the creature on Edict a picture of, a God? Hard to tell,
I though for sure it was going to be hazorets last reckoning

If that's the case what the hell did Bolas do to the insectoid gods? That's one hell of a steroid regimine he has them on.
Feel free to tell me yours!
That's rhonas
So they definately get murder by bolas and the immensely corrupted missing 3 gods.
Considering that Vindicate was 30, there is only 1 card before it (Capsize,) and it might not even be white.
Oh yeah, whoops
Still with non Bolas colors white is appropriately represented while green gets the shaft.
