Goyf is as low as he's been in 3.5 years though, do we expect he would drop under $120 ever? I was hoping for Liliana and Snaps this go around, even though I already have Snapcaster, its a critical piece in Modern if you are in blue at all.
Goyf has price memory on his side. Even if they printed him at rare, the rate these MM sets get opened it would barely dent the price from a player perspective. Speculators would be dumping like crazy, though.

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!

Currently Goyf is under $120. It's at about $100 even.
I'd be glad if it was under $50, but any dent to its price will be welcome, for all of the cards they reprint as well.
Cavern of Souls should be rare. It was printed in a set mythic already existed.
Very few lands are Mythic (only Mirrorpool and Maze's End that I know of), so maybe it's more likely that Horizon Canopy, Grove of Burnwillows and Cavern of Souls will remain Rare if they are reprinted (I really hope so).

Eye of Ugin was the first mythic land, although it did go down to rare for MM2.
Now that we know three of the mythics are Griselbrand, Domri Rade and Snapcaster Mage it's pretty funny to see how optimistic everybody was. Who knows, maybe they shifted Stoic Angel up and we know four of the mythics!

I don't know where you get that Snapcaster was confirmed as a mythic If the box image is really Snapcaster Mage (We all thought Impulse was Mother of Runes back in the day, so yea.) and following your way of thought, all goes to it being a rare, giving that the past two Modern Masters sets had the artwork of rare cards on the box.
Griselbrand and Domri aren't nearly the worst reprints, all of us went for a dubious second black mythic, (Liliana is most probably still there) and I rather have Domri than Comet Storm anytime.
And don't even think about Stoic Angel being a mythic, together with "Snapcaster as a mythic" that would be the worst jerk move Wizards could make and it most definitely would backfire. (Eternal Masters even had Bloodbraid Elf's art on the booster which by the way, is an uncommon.)
I just don't understand why this community sometimes is pessimistic just for the sake of being pessimistic.

I secretly ship Ral x Jace... and Nissa x Chandra... :">
As for the other three mythics, I'm thinking we will either get all three Scars block Swords, or perhaps a third chaff multicolor card from RTR block (probably Aurelia or Progenitor Mimic) and two other artifacts.
Hopefully we'll see Snapcaster as a Rare, and not Mythic. It would suprise me if Snapcaster Mage isn't reprinted in this set.
I think the only way we don't see Snapcaster in this set is if they are holding him back for another Eternal Masters or Conspiracy set. There is absolutely 0% chance we ever see him in standard again.
If Goyf drops any lower, I think you'll see an increase in decks using him across the format. Anything above $50 has traditionally been a no-go for budget players. I know for me there was a time when buying a card that cost $20 seemed absolutely insane.

Unfortunately I was wrong about Snapcaster and Cavern of Souls (D**n you Wizards! xD)
I was right about 6/15 of the mythics.
But at least instead of putting the good cards only at mythic we got good cards for every rarity, which is awesome.
For those who were overly pessimistic about this set, where are you now?
Also, I think someone promised to eat their Aether Vial masterpiece...

I secretly ship Ral x Jace... and Nissa x Chandra... :">Also, 9 of the 11 "new" mythics in MM2015 were from Zendikar and Scars block, and we will probably see a similar trend this year.
Here is my best guess:
B: Liliana of the Veil and Griselbrand
G: Tarmogoyf and Craterhoof Behemoth
R: Thundermaw Hellkite and Bonfire of the Damned
U: Consecrated Sphinx and Temporal Mastery
W: Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Entreat the Angels
Other: Domri Rade, Voice of Resurgence

I don't see any reason for them to bump Cavern to mythic. It isn't overly strong in limited.
SCG recently upped their price on the card from $60 to $70, so I would pretty much guarantee it won't be in. But I do bet we'll see Parallel Lives.
