Sphinx's Revelation and Liliana of the Veil. I could always use more copies of the first, and who knows, maybe I will finally get a copy of the second. And a Linvala reprint is very welcome. I am still not leaning toward buying any packs except for pod drafts, but there are enough good things already spoiled that I might change my mind if the overall quality of the rares remains strong, and especially if we see more high-value uncommons like Path to Exile.
Holy hell, they're finally reprinting that friggin' Craterhoof Behemoth! Hope this'll make the price go down at least a bit, but I'm really glad to see it either way. And in the same set as Damnation, too!
Always good to see more Path to Exile. Snapcaster reprint is certainly a good thing.
Odd to see a card reprinted so many times yet remain this expensive. Good card, no doubt, but it's also reprinted many, many times.
Linvala and Damnation, not enough to persuade me to get a box.
We've seen a lot of Swords to Plowshares reprints as well, it's been since the first MM (unless Venser v. Koth was after that?) since we've seen Path. Hopefully this'll really do something to the price.
Fetches make the risk of getting sealed product a lot less than most of these reprint sets, but it's always a bit of a risky proposition.
Personally, I'll be spending enough just making sure I get a few of each fetch. I know a bunch of people who are into Modern and will get boxes to draft, so win-win for me.
Séance is an interesting card, that I was not aware of.
Does it have any specific place in Commander? Tokens, Graveyards, ETB... it just goes everywhere! (*exaggeration*)
Someone did offer $40,000 in bitcoins to any player who played Séance in Pro Tour Oath Of The Gatewatch...
Blood Moon, Voice of Resurgence.... this is a very solid set of reprints. The chance of me buying a box is increasing steadily. A few more good-but-somewhat-pricey uncommons and I'm probably in.
And Blood Moon at rare to boot. That's genuinely shocking to me.
I think it a wonderful thing for Commander as well. Too many four color decks, and I say this as someone who runs two four-color decks.
I think it wouldn't be a stretch to assume Atraxa in particular is the most popular among them, which just makes the missing color as the solution elegant.

In the local group, Breya is more popular than Atraxa, and it turns out she isn't much harder to break than Atraxa.
Aaaaand there's Cavern of Souls. Mythic, unfortunately, but I think that covers every reasonable reprint I have seen people ask for.
Cavern is a *very* welcome reprint. Yeah, this is a pretty amazing batch or cards. I don't personally care one way or another about Goyf, but hey, I can always sell or trade it.
Anyone know how many mythics and rares are left to spoil?
Dusk

Destroy all creatures with power greater or equal to 3
-----------
Dawn
Sorcery
?Consequences? - Cast this sorcery only from your graveyard, then exile it.
Return all creature cards with power less than or equal to 2 from your graveyard to your hand.
From Rumor Mill, originally from Reddit post about a Modern Master pack. So, cards that could only be casted from graveyard, much like Unearth for spells but has different effect when cast from hand, perhaps we should see this as a "transformed" spell?
Who/What/When/Where/Why was meant to be a joke card, not inspiration WotC. Seriously, that looks terrible. Not "meld" terrible, but still pretty bad.
I like the effect, but holy crap that formatting. Could they not do a flashback-like ability with a text template similar to Increasing Devotion?
"Destroy all creatures with power 3 or greater. If you cast this from your graveyard return all creature cards with power 2 or less from your graveyard to your hand instead."
I don't like the aesthetics of the card, but Alesha has read the effect and now wants it to be in (most likely in the Wrath Slots), just simply because of how explosive Dawn can be potentially in the deck.
Red/White just got new drawpower, Nekusar and Astral Slide decks got a new toy and we don't know yet what Exert does...but Cycling being back will be a lot of fun.

My Commander decks:
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
My first thought was 'I seem to be one step closer to building that artifact toybox', centering around counters and untapping things in a happy impossible machine of DOOM.
Also brick counters, so there's that.

I wonder how significant putting the "non dragon" part of Glorybringers rules text will be. Is it so that you cant nuke in the mirror or should we be expecting a more dragony set?
*Glorybringer is also a outrageously White name for a card, I was expecting an angel but oh my is that promo good looking.

EDH BRGKresh the BloodbraidedBRG, A box of lands and ideas.
Modern: RG Titanshift. A deck made of cards too stupid for EDH.
Retired: Lots. More than I feel you should suffer through or I should type out.
Archfiend of Ifnir - yikes, just what "wheel and deal" commanders like Nekusar, the Mindrazer, Leovold, Emissary of Trest, and Nath of the Gilt Leaf needed - a way to turn their wheels into Plague Winds. Seems like an amazing addition to any deck that discards cards with regularity, even at 5 mana. Good in a Madness-heavy deck like Olivia, Mobilized for War as well since it triggers off any discard. That you can always cycle it early to cantrip through your deck and reanimate it later is just gravy. 7/10 card.
Oracle's Vault - seems awfully durdly and slow, but White and Red have to take what they can get and I'll probably consider it for Daretti. This is a slower but colorless Chandra, Pyromaster/Outpost Siege but it has the advantage of getting super powerful eventually and providing cards immediately if you have a ton of mana late game. Good if you can accelerate your counter acquisition via Vorel of the Hull Clade although that only shaves off a little time. Comboes with Paradox Engine once it is at three counters. A good card but not an auto-staple in any archetype as far as I can see. 5/10 card
Trueheart Duelist - A solid limited card with fringe standard potential (have to see how much Embalm/token/tribal synergy we get), but in EDH this seems too weak. The Embalm mechanic looks to be a spicy one especially for Trostani, Selesnya's Voice but this individual card is pure filler especially since even though it's a decent warrior, it's a decent warrior that nonbos with Alesha, Who Smiles at Death. 1/10
Glorybringer - Solid dragon is solid. Finding a way to cheat past Exert will be key but I imagine most decks with Dragons, extra combats, or ways to provide lots of untapping/vigilance will at least consider this. Shame it doesn't deal "damage equal to power" or it'd be a great include for Xenagod. Seems "just okay" in EDH. 4/10
None of the Welcome cards are relevant (most are reprints) except maaaaybe Angler Drake if you feel that Animar, Soul of Elements and Brago, King Eternal can never have any such thing as "enough" Man-o-War variants...but we do have a ton of such variants from Magic's long history. Love that Gravedigger art for anyone running that in EDH though.
