Looks like a super fun, super mean Masters set is coming to overthrow the world... this one looks like a doozy.
W/ so many killer rares/mythics already spoiled, what is your wish-list for commons & uncommons.
I just hope WotC doesn't try for some themes, where a ton of duds appear. I know there will be some duds, it's inevitable, and cycles happen, BUT, remember, this is a wish-list.
Actually, let's make a game out of it (for those who want to update their list w/o cheating), put in bold how many you get right when all is said and done.
My List (I am an OG player, so my requests may be different):
Basically I want every single uncommon to be valuable or at least played, and same for most of the commons. In a $15 pack, that should be a given. No bulk in a $15 pack.

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
Lava Spike is a big one. Blossoming Defense at common and Heroic Intervention at uncommon, maybe? Swiftfoot Boots, Infiltration Lens, and Invisible Stalker for some of the low-value ones. Expedition Map would be good (especially at common). Lightning Bolt, of course. Gilder Bairn, but it would never happen. Slippery Bogle for a common, perhaps. Manamorphose would be good. Boros and Simic Charms, perhaps. Sakura-Tribe Scout. Primal Rage. Sylvan Caryatid if it could be downshifted. Rebuff the Wicked. Serum Visions and Preordain (sadly, they'd probably use the gross MM3 art and flavor text for the former). The Urza's lands, though I already know those can't be in the set. Coldsteel Heart might be something. Ancient Ziggurat. Thran Dynamo. Utopia Sprawl. Guttural Response, maybe.
Those would be really nice, viashino is a fine card that sadly is not that much used in edh, about the other 2 i have to agree they could and should be reprinted as commons, Kavu Titan even got "reprinted" at uncommon, but with vigilance and trample in dominaria. About concerns about pauper legality, we need Battle Screech reprinted at common.
Circular Logic at common (make U/G Madness in Pauper great again!!!) Oubliette (I'm sure it'll be upgunned to rare...but I'm praying uncommon) Arrogant Wurm (at common, to alleviate any concerns about paper pauper legality) Ash Barrens (the price...is still too high!)
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!
This is a good suggestion, and reminds me of a card I forgot to mention that also cries out for a new card face printing - Cloud of Faeries. Frantic Search would also be wonderful. They could further support a faerie theme with Faerie Miscreant (another clutch Pauper reprint), Thornwind Faeries (never had a new card face foil printing), and Faerie Artisans (could use a foil printing as well).

Path needs a reprint, as many times as they've printed Swords to Plowshares, we need a non-promo version of Path. It seems to be that the only place that gets paths are masters sets lol.
Capsize had a judge foil and invocation (although that may as well not count due to sheer scarcity and not in modern bordering- the art on the invocation is great though)
Necromancy would be amazing, just to have access to the card again.
Nature's Lore is a great staple that needs more than just supplemental products to circulate copies.
And Top, oh boy, Top needs a reprint and the Esper "Top Deck Matters" Precon this past EDH cycle would have been an ideal place for it (Man, did WotC miss a great opportunity there). Here's the place to make it up wizards.
Sol Ring has enough printings, unless they want to fill the foiling quota, they don't really need it outside of a commander supplemental sets. Besides, getting 1 or more in draft would be far too broken; and keep in mind that these sets have to be playable in a limited/draft setting so they have to have little to no broken card synergies in the product itself.
You know, I also have a feeling that this might be the long awaited reprint of Oubliette. That card has been the black lotus of pauper for ages. Also, Illakunsaa as funny as it sounds, Colossal Dreadmaw serves a pretty decent purpose in limited as the big dumb green trampler bomb, so it wouldn't be horrible to see. It's not exactly financially high value, but nothing common outside of some rare prints really falls into that category.
Here are some other likely possibilities in the set at uncommon or common:
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!
Oubliette will be reprinted. I was kind of shocked it wasn't one of the Arabian Nights reprints from Masters 25, but they must have been saving it for this. It would be vile of them to upshift it to rare, though.
Urgh, that is a tough one to reprint. The problem is that in draft that card is completely dead in a whole lot of archetypes. That was originally printed in conflux to work with ETB creatures, and that was also the same set that brought Meddling Mage into the forefront as an answer against all the ETB creatures.

There's 5 cards for each color, multicolor, artifacts and lands. I'd be happy with 2-3 from each section, as they're all pretty good and valuable staples that add value to a pack whose rare has been a dud. Also, their foil versons are worth a pretty penny, and in some cases inexistent unless they reprint here, making them basically worth the cost of a pack. Not adding Propaganda like you guys because of both Limited reasons and corporate greed it would be moved up to rare and contradict the point of the thread.

We still have some mythic spots left and a whole lot of rares left, so it's not necessarily impossible. If I were designing a set that has Ancient Ziggurat, I'd have things like Master Transmuter and Purphoros, God of the Forge. Maybe bring back Glaze Fiend with cards such as Thopter Squadron, Foundry of the Consuls, Thopter Foundry, etherium sculptor, Time Sieve, Welding Jar, Wild-field scarecrow, and maybe Thopter Assembly.
