It's like they went out of their way to avoid as much as possible reprinting anything that hasn't been reprinted recently.
This is not a nostalgia set, this is a "remember all the ***** we keep shoving into every non-Standard product?" set
This set has some decent cards that I might buy after prices tank as singles but there is no world in which this is worth ten dollars a pack. So far as optimism for the product line going forward, they didn't reprint Extinguish All Hope, but they got the message across. It's a shame. Modern Masters (the original) was excellent and I would happily buy it at ten a pop. I can see that that set is not sustainable year after year, but it doesn't change the fact that this and Iconic Masters are simply not sufficiently enticing for me to spend ten dollars on fifteen (probably bent) pieces of cardboard.

I'm really beginning to suspect that Skyshroud Claim is secretly on the Reserve List...
Glad I'm not the only one slowly getting suspicious about this card, they had so many chances to reprint it now, with this set being the greatest. Let's just hope the last duel deck or Dominaria finally delivers

Thanks to DarkNightCavalier from Heroes of the Plane Studios for this sick Signature.

Lol, I hadn't noticed this. Crazy how they keep dodging it.
I suspect we might FINALLY see another long-overdue reprint. I mean--there are probably some ruins left from the original invasion. I could imagine the remnants of the Cabal finding old Phyrexian tech/ruins and taking it for themselves.
Well nuts, I was just making a thread for everyones top 15 cards that didn't make it into Masters 25 and the freaking web browser crashed.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
And a few others I know I'm missing and others have touched on.
At this point I'd be much more inclined to spend the money on picking up the originals or saving for Dominaria. They did alright, and to be honest this is what Core Sets/Editions ought to look like, but I don't think it's worth the drive to Acton*.

Jesus. They really do seem to be on a bullet train headed for crash ‘n burn. Willingly so.
