Tutor, Season and Wheel are in desperate need of reprints and are very iconic to the game. Land Tax less so, but still in need of a reprint and sees a lot of EDH play. Force of Will is unlikely given its Eternal Masters printing, but I can't think of a more iconic Blue money card outside of JtMS needing a reprint.

I agree with most of the things you think will actually happen....except the lack of original art reprints. That one objectively won't be true. They go original art for almost all cards in these sets. Maybe not so much the pre-Modern stuff, but most, new art is too expensive for more than a handful of cards in these. Iconic even went back to original Thoughtseize art, remember?

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
In my head I was thinking about whisical stuff like Foglio's Mishra's, or old iconic art- Richard Kane Ferguson's Alliances efforts. I would love a new border old art Maze of ith or Rishadan Port, but I don't think I will see it....(. For modern era stuff, yeah, I get that it may come back, but not stuff from the mid 90s.

People with belligerent signatures are trying to compensate for something....
What I actually expect is the $10 packs not worth buying thanks to the barely 20 cards that barely make the set buying, at best. I'm sure this is going to be another must skip Masters set, thanks to three Masters sets within a year.
From portal I'l actually like Riding the Dilu Horse. I have had copies of it forever, but a nice foil version would be sweet. Yes, it's pretty narrow but it would be amazing in a limited format, and imagine if we got Thrun, the Last Troll or Sigarda, Host of Herons to go with it, bwahahaha.
Port would be great, but Troublesome Spirit or Lin-Sivvi with a Rebel draft theme? Hmmm? Hmmmmmm?

The "Crazy One", playing casual magic and occasionally dipping his toes into regular play since 1994.
Currently focusing on Pre-Modern (Mono-Black Discard Control) and Modern (Azorious Control, Temur Rhinos).
Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.
tl;dr: If I could pick 10 high-value cards that I'd want, 10 mid-range ones that could use another printing, 10 cheap cards that still wouldn't be a bad idea (especially to have in the new border), and 10 that have basically no chance in heck but that I can dream about, I guess I'd go with:
- Doubling Season, Rings of Brighthearth, Sword of Fire and Ice, Sword of Feast and Famine, Rhys the Redeemed, Emrakul v1, Sigarda v1, Thrun, the Last Troll, Seedborn Muse, Ugin, the Spirit Dragon
- Lava Spike, Time Warp, Elvish Piper, Darksteel Colossus, Nature's Will, Kalonian Hydra, Quicksilver Amulet, Heroic Intervention, Primeval Bounty, Burgeoning
- Invisible Stalker, Firemane Avenger, Hunter's Insight, Elite Arcanist, Crystal Ball, Wild Defiance, Ethereal Armor, Redirect, Soul's Fire, Foresee
- Eldrazi Conscription, Lighthouse Chronologist, Gilder Bairn, Riku of Two Reflections, Teferi's Protection, Traverse the Outlands, Umbral Mantle, Chandra, Torch of Defiance, Tamiyo, the Moon Sage, Carnage Tyrant
- Also the Urza's lands and the Locus lands, since I don't know which lists they'd fit under.
But I'm firmly convinced—especially after Iconic Masters—that we shouldn't expect anything until the set actually starts being shown.
The Filter lands would have to be the enemy colored ones since graven cairns just got reprinted in iconic masters. I would love the allied manlands, celestial colonnade is at a crazy price. Also the allied fast lands would be nice, they're getting kind of pricey
I think what we will see a reprint in the following modern playable cards
The man lands
Snapcaster and
Chalice or ensnaring Bridge (not both)
Perhaps even cavern of souls and aether vial as theyve heavily pushed tribal merfolk and pirates and dinos there will probably be a demand for those two cards and WOTC will notice.
Iconic masters was a huge let down i have to say so they will be printing good stuff in 25 i believe or they risk losing alot of money and players.
And the three things i listed above are already tipping their max price
Snappy is at 60<$
Thats about as high as hes ever been iirc
I could also see kolaghans and atarkas commands getting reprinted.
I do not believe we will see any reprints on
Mox opal
Liliana
Tarmogoyf
Tarmogoyf has seen many reprints
Liliana seems to just kind of be under the radar at the moment I havent seen much of her lately
And mox opal just saw “reprint” as a lotto card i dont believe theyd reprint it.
Those are my speculations

I think it would be hilarious if all of the recent market fluctuations and reserved list buyouts were being done by WOTC to randomly insert reserve list cards in packs, similar to original Zendikar's "treasures". Hopefully they will be more attainable though, one in every two or three cases won't cut it. That would be the one thing that would make this set a true 25th anniversary treat for everyone, and especially those that've been along for the entire ride like myself.
Crucible of Worlds NEEDS to be in. I really hope (unrealistically) that they toss whatever model they have been using and use these REPRINT sets for things that desperately need REPRINTING. save the draft format above all else for cards we haven't seen before.

Chalice of the void
Through the breach
Goryo's vengeance
Rashadan port
Liliana of the vail
Karn planeswalker
Alt art duals
Fetch lands
Engineered explosives
Tarmagoyf
All are in need of reprint
I'm just hoping for a lot of things that need to see legitimate new card frame reprints, and some just to lower prices:
Deserted Temple
Thawing Glaciers
Opposition
Mind Twist
Mana Vault
Su-Chi
Ankh of Mishra
Nostalgic Dreams
Skirge Familiar
Frantic Search
Riptide Laboratory
And for Hasbro to announce the removal of the reserved list
My expectations are a bit low after 'iconic' masters. Besides, is it just me or did I read somewhere that they chose to reprint 2 cards from every magic set up to now in this masters? That would make reprinting cycles rather difficult. If that isn't the case, I think the allied manlands would be pretty cool to see. Other than that I really have to differentiate between what I'd like to see and what I expect. I guess...
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.
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!

Force of Will is unlikely given its Eternal Masters printing, but I can't think of a more iconic Blue money card outside of JtMS needing a reprint.
As an aside for some other reprints:

Cabal Coffers
Deathrite Shaman
Jace, the Mind Sculptor
Baneslayer Angel
Cubetutor Peasant'ish-Funbox

i would love to see a new black bordered printing of land tax with new art. concordant crossroads would be nice too.

It would certainly be good to see some of the most sought after reprints that we've been waiting for since the Masters line began like Rishadan Port, Imperial Recruiter, Demonic Tutor, Stoneforge Mystic, Batterskull, Grim Tutor, Oubliette (why is a common $22?), and Wordly Tutor. Then the continued reprint of other cards like Tarmogoyf, Path to Exile, Lightning Bolt, and Force of Will (NOT MYTHIC).
What I actually expect is the $10 packs not worth buying thanks to the barely 20 cards that barely make the set buying, at best. I'm sure this is going to be another must skip Masters set, thanks to three Masters sets within a year.
