If you want to discuss the possibility that individual old cards for which we have no specific evidence will be reprinted in Innistrad, please do so here. Feel free to bring up any type of reprint speculation — random rares, reserved cards, the sky's the limit. But please be sure to contribute to ongoing discussion by posting your reasoning as to why you either expect, or would like, to see any given card reprinted.
Any other threads about such reprints will get locked and redirected here.
Tombstalker and Bitter Ordeal seem like obvious choices: both are Future Sight cards with graveyard-related mechanics. Bridge From Below seems interesting, although not as likely.

Although it does seem an underlying Zombie theme is approaching, maybe its time for the Bridge to come back.

They printed a ridiculous amountofZombies in M12, and there's that nifty Flashback card that's been leaked, so I could see Zombie tribal being an interesting deck, just from the few cards we've seen so far. Bridge From Below would just seal the deal.
This thread is full of idiots... Lightning Bolt is NOT being reprinted.
Many times has a writer in Wizards said so, because of the plain and simple fact that it's too powerful for what it costs. x/3 creatures shouldn't be able to die at instant speed for one mana without a signifigant drawback. (like PTE giving you a land)
I absolutely guarantee that LB will not be printed in M10, and you can quote me on that.
I wonder if it's too early for an Unearth comeback, perhaps with a twist. I mean, we saw the return of colored artifacts in New Phyrexia and Exalted (kinda) in Mirrodin Besieged (battle cry). Although a straight-up reprint from Alara block really isn't likely at this point, Corpse Connoisseur is very cool conceptually, albeit not very powerful. Additionally, it could definitely work with a Victorian theme, ala Herbert West–Reanimator.
Edit: Flashback and Unearth in the same set might be overkill.
I say Bridge from below as well. It's a nifty graveyard themed card. The only problem with it is that it doesn't actually require you to play black to use it.
Since flashback is confirmed as the returning mechanic (if you haven't heard it was in one of the spoiled cards found in DotP2) what are some of the most iconic flashback cards? I started playing after flashback so i am not really sure what they would be, but firebolt comes to mind as a possibility.

Flashback + Threshold is not a design mistake and neither would Delve + Flashback be. It's called tension and it requires you to have to make actual decisions. Additionally, 1 mechanic naturally checks the other from being overpowered.
Threshold itself in some circles is considered bad as you can't control it really, it's either on or off (Flashback kinda helped control it to a degree, again, natural check). That's probably why they went the Landfall route of playing lands rather than a mechanic that gave you bonuses when you had a certain number of lands in play (I believe Maro addressed that in one of the Zen design articles).
I'd love Buried Alive or Entomb but both are so powerful...Entomb especially is ridiculous.
Every set I like to go through the time-shifted cards and see if any "fit the bill" for the set's theme. Here's what I have so far:
Henchfiend of Ukor: Black echo cost, dark atmosphere to the card. Yixlid Jailer: I wouldn't be surprised to see a hoser in a set who's theme is rumored to be based around the graveyard. Street Wraith: Fits the supernatural theme rather well. Blind Phantasm: It's an illusion...just sayin'
Delve: The return of the mechanic in general to the set.
Perhaps the cycle Auramancer, Scrivener, Gravedigger, Anarchist, Cartographer will return. But it would be cooler to print a better cycle that is a step above these, such as legends/rares and having the trigger every upkeep.
On the other hand, being another graveyard block, I think they would avoid reprinting cards from Oddeysey block to give it its own character. My guess will be cards like Think twice or Dread Return. Cards like Gifts Ungiven or Intuition are possible but unlikely candidates as well.
It's looking like a graveyard theme... Entomb is getting reprinted in a premium deck... I feel like it may be making it's triumphant return.

I would say "How about a zombie-themed Grizzly Fate?" But LO AND BEHOLD! And that's not really a reprint...
How about Catalyst Stone? Coffin Purge? Dread Return? Flash of Insight? Skull Fracture?
I think I'd most like seeing the Momentary Blink cycle.
I wouldn't be so sure. Delve has very little synergy (anti-synergy, actually) with Flashback, which we know for sure is being used.

Any of the 3 mana land destructions from the past? Something to make single color decks the rule and not the exception?

Well, I think it's gone down in value... so it sounds more plausible. Especially because its Standard applications are, thus far, a bit more limited.
On this: I think Rain of Tears is the most reasonable of the 3CMC land destruction cards. Not because it's mostly black, though.
