^ Korzu, the numbering is not that straightforward.
The first half(ish, #1-25 of 50) come from Kaladesh,
and the remaining numbers are used for Aether Revolt.
#26 will be the first AER masterpiece alphabetically,
and they go up from there.
Here's the list I proposed before we found out what was in Kaladesh:
Momir Vig, Simic Visionary Melek, Izzet Paragon Oona, Queen of the Fae Bruna, Light of Alabaster Gisela, Blade of Goldnight Rhys the Redeemed Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord Sen Triplets The Mimeoplasm WUBRGSliver OverlordGRBUW WUBRGSliver Hivelord(Superfriends)GRBUW
Ok people might not like my pick but why not Booby Trap? especially because we have the Revolt going on in lore.
Ensnaring Bridge works for me because we have the Battle on the Bridge card. I think whats tough is trying to avoid named artifacts but face it, I am sure some random planeswalker before the story arc dropped off some of the more "exotic" items. Also brings me back to the fact that Kaladesh's elite probably love the auction house. I am sure a "Masterpiece" could be a family heirloom rather than a work of art. A pre-Aether Kaladesh would be interesting to see. For Wurmcoil Engine or Steel Hellkite I could see as just a mecha like the gearhulks and walker says "oh that takes me back...to phyrexia *shutters"
I do not think we will have any artifact creatures or spatial objects like a Ensnaring Bridge, Trading Post or a Crawlspace. Flavor is key here... inventions.

Anyhow, the best I can come up with myself is a game in the top 8 of a PTQ back during Urza block in which we were starting game 3 with time already expired, so the tiebreaker rule was that whoever had more life after 3 turns would win. And I lost to... healing salve.

Memory Jar already got reprinted in a FTV, so it is one of the few that can jump off of the Reserved List (I believe).
A small minority of people complained about that reprint so i doubt they wil ldo it again because aparently a small minority that doesn't benefit the game that mutch has a saying on it.

I could see Ensnaring Bridge, a bridge that can stop those on it through various traps or robotic arms. It being just a big bridge shaped construct that defended a part of the city.

While it is true that Memory Jar was reprinted in FTV:Relics and that it can come off the Reserved List again, albeit unlikely, the FTV reprinting was before WoTC closed the loophole on foil reprintings of cards on the Reserved List. Relics and Phyrexia vs. The Coalition made a small group of people whine and Wizards closed it thanks to things like Memory jar and Phyrexian Negator getting foils.

Gate to the Aether and Prototype Portal seem like fitting "location" artifacts. I'd love for Trading Post to be reprinted in AER, but it might work a little too well with SOI and KLD's mechanics.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Chalice of the Void
Sword of X and Y or Z
Unwinding Clock
Wurmcoil Engine
Skullclamp
Caged Sun
Vedalken Shackles
Lux Cannon
Spellskite
Meekstone
Ratchet Bomb
Everflowing Chalice
Semblance Anvil

Here's the list I proposed before we found out what was in Kaladesh:
I got roughly half of them, so I fully expect the others in AER
Reprint Stasis!
Control needs more love.
EDH:
WUBRGSliver OverlordGRBUW
WUBRGSliver Hivelord(Superfriends)GRBUW
Maybe Null Rod and Chalice too
Null Rod is on the reserve list.
I really think we'll see Coalition Relic
Platinum Emperion (No angel because that has enough reprints.)
Wurmcoil Engine
The last two swords.
Torpor Orb
Trading Post (because you can always invent a better market.)
Meekstone
Skullclamp
Ornithopter
I feel like we might get Steel Hellkite or Mind Stone.
It would be cool to see some of the Phyrexian cards, like Birthing Pod, Spellskite, etc, but I have doubts.
Mimic Vat should be there. Isochron Scepter and Prototype Portal seem like they would fit the set too.
8.RG Green Devotion Ramp/Combo 9.UR Draw Triggers 10.WUR Group stalling 11.WUR Voltron Spellslinger 12.WB Sacrificial Shenanigans
13.BR Creatureless Panharmonicon 14.BR Pingers and Eldrazi 15.URG Untapped Cascading
16.Reyhan, last of the Abzan's WUBG +1/+1 Counter Craziness 17.WUBRG Dragons aka Why did I make this?
Building: The Gitrog Monster lands, Glissa the Traitor stax, Muldrotha, the Gravetide Planeswalker Combo, Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix + Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa Clues, and Tribal Scarecrow Planeswalkers

My Guesses are:
Steel Overseer and Painter's Servant got Inventions
Standard - Some kind of control
Modern - UB Mill (casual)
EDH - Meren's Grave Shenanigans
Memory Jar is on the reserved list
Memory Jar already got reprinted in a FTV, so it is one of the few that can jump off of the Reserved List (I believe).
D'oh... forgot about those. Well, then for creatures I guess there's:
A small minority of people complained about that reprint so i doubt they wil ldo it again because aparently a small minority that doesn't benefit the game that mutch has a saying on it.
As did Sad Robot and Hangarback Walker
Also, a Mana Vault and a Mana Crypt seem like they would be spatial objects.

Reality is only what man allows it to be. Few shape it so that many may accept it.
So, basically a Pauper Masterpiece series? That would be awesome, so like:

I'd add Vedalken Orrery to that list alongside the Shackles. Lightning Coils would be fun too, especially with Workshop Assistants to keep triggering it.
Seven of the original ten Guild artifacts aren't tied specifically to Ravnica: Bloodletter Quill, Crown of Convergence, Evolution Vat, Moratorium Stone, Plague Boiler, Sunforger, and Walking Archive. Of those, I'd most love to see Archive, Sunforger, and Vat all brought back.
