Right now half the rares are useful/staples in tier decks, almost all MR have been used in some deck in modern(or legacy) and we have some staples at uncommon. Best than it would be putting a $10 bill in each booster, even when u take some of the s--- rares u are happy because u can trade them and even make a fun casual deck.
I think the only critical miss the set had was missing Noble Hierarch. They needed a good mana dork in the set and they opted for a common that produces an off color for the mana excel. Avacyn's Pilgrim isn't a bad card by any means and works with Rishkar, peema renegade in a counters strategy, but the hierarch is still the best mana dork in modern.

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!
