Hi guys -
I was already doing this contest with a couple of my friends, and then realized it might get even better results if I posted it here. Here's the contest:
The goal is to correctly guess the reprints in Modern Masters 2015 Edition at the right rarity. You get one slot per color per rarity, for example:
White Mythic:
White Rare:
White Uncommon:
White Common:
The same applies with land, multicolored and colorless.
You get two points for guessing the right card at the right rarity, and one for guessing the right card at the wrong rarity.
You cannot guess any spoiled cards, and this contest ends as soon as spoiler season starts. Right now, the cards Tarmogoyf, Karn Liberated, Etched Champion, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, and Vendillion Clique (As of April 22) are off limits due to being spoiled already. So guess away, and we'll see who won!
White Mythic: Linvala, Keeper of Silence
White Rare: Leyline of Sanctity
White Uncommon: Path to Exile
White Common: Apostle's Blessing
Blue Mythic: Vendillion Clique
Blue Rare: Threads of Disloyalty
Blue Uncommon: Remand
Blue Common: Serum Visions
Black Mythic: Bitterblossom
Black Rare: Damnation
Black Uncommon: Inquisition of Kozilek
Black Common: Vault Skirge
Red Mythic: Splinter Twin
Red Rare: Goblin Guide
Red Uncommon: Forked Bolt
Red Common: Gut Shot
Green Mythic: Primeval Titan? (Not sure if is legal to be reprinted, would love some help.)
Green Rare: Noble Hierarch
Green Uncommon: Vines of Vastwood
Green Common: Mutagenic Growth
Land Mythic: Boseju, Who Shelters All
Land Rare: Inkmoth Nexus
Land Uncommon: Tectonic Edge
Land Common: Evolving Wilds
I'd say something like this (note that I'm super lazy and am just using a cycle for my mythics):
White Mythic: Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite
White Rare: Kataki, War's Wage
White Uncommon: Path to Exile
White Common: Leonin Squire
Blue Mythic: Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur
Blue Rare: Cryptic Command
Blue Uncommon: Remand
Blue Common: Serum Visions
Black Mythic: Sheoldred, Whispering One
Black Rare: Profane Command
Black Uncommon: Inquisition of Kozilek
Black Common: Disciple of the Vault
Red Mythic: Urabrask the Hidden
Red Rare: Blood Moon
Red Uncommon: Shattering Spree
Red Common: Ingot Chewer
Green Mythic: Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger
Green Rare: Primalcrux
Green Uncommon: Eternal Witness
Green Common: Nature's Claim
Colorless Mythic: Mox Opal
Colorless Rare: Arcbound Ravager
Colorless Uncommon: Aether Vial
Colorless Common: Welding Jar
Land Mythic: Eye of Ugin
Land Rare: City of Brass
Land Uncommon: Akoum Refuge (or any of the tap lands)
Land Common: Island (flag planted).
I'm too lazy to remember to check back to see if I'm correct. Also too lazy to do this for all 5 colors, but here's my guesses.
Blue Mythic: Vendillion Clique
Blue Rare: Cryptic Command
Blue Uncommon: Spell Snare
Blue Common: Serum Visions
Multicolored is so broad though. I'll call out a rare card for each 2 color combo (as doing 4 for each 2 color combo would be crazy)
UW: Meddling Mage
UB: Shadow of Doubt
RB: Fulminator Mage
RG: Vexing Shusher
GW: Fracturing Gust
WB: Culling Sun
UR: Tibor and Lumia
BG: Maelstrom Pulse
RW: Rise of the Hobgoblins
GU: Voidslime
I'm SO SICK of the "too strong for Standard" argument. It's the new "Dies to removal". We can have a two mana 4/4 with a zillion abilities, but we can't just have Accumulated Knowledge. Makes sense.
Really, how have none of you guessed Lightning Bolt? Lightning Bolt is the most played card in Modern by a lot. There is no way they aren't reprinting it.

I guessed Lightning Bolt, you probably just missed it in my post because I guessed it would be an uncommon.

I tried to stray from cards that were printed in the first Modern Masters for an extra little bit of challenge but I just couldn't think of a good blue mythic other than Clique. I think some of the Praetors might be in it but not necessarily all of them.

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. I can't wait till I can play my bicycle land out, thus making me heckbent, while I have Nessie on the field. You know, so I can attack with my Pervert.

Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.

Not going to speculate on Colorless or Multicolor at this time; maybe another day.
Why would Noble Hierarch be mythic? It is no more mythic-worthy than Cryptic Command, which was a rare in MM1.

22 points. I'll just say the set did terribly and I didn't.
A final score of 31 out of a possible 80. If anyone gets over a 50% I'll be impressed.
