I'm really looking forward to all of the Crypts I'm going to see in pickup games now that the supply is increasing.
Still keeping my fingers crossed for Daretti and Myriad Landscape. I figure Commander's Sphere is a non-starter, but that would cover everything not reserved of what I don't have foiled out in Jaya.

Some good stuff in Eternal Masters at rare and mythic. Have to see what we're getting at the uncommon and common level to decide what to do re: purchasing any of this one.
I got burned too hard on MM2015 for me to really take this early hype. On the other hand, so far, I need next to nothing that has been spoiled so I also dont see a reason to buy any sealed product. I own....
As it stands, I think I would consider picking up a second Toxic Deluge. I would also be willing to pick up a copy or two of Wasteland if they became cheap but they wont ever be cheap enough for me to justify that so I might possibly pick up own just so I own one. I opened 4 boxes of MM2015 and I didn't open a goyf so opening this to try to open Mana Crypt is a silly goal.
For them to really break out with these packs they would need to reprint top as an uncommon again. Realistically though, if it got reprtinted it would be at least a rare though.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
I don't think they could spoil anything that would make me buy sealed product at $10/pack (minimum). I'll happily pick up any singles that I'm after though.

when MM2015 came out I was trying to get into modern but had like.... almost nothing that was not an EDH card to make modern with so I went a little crazy on buying it but then I only opened 1/4 - 1/2 of the needed cards for like each deck that I wanted to play.
This one while interesting hits me on stuff I already own so its kind of a no brainer for me to pass on opening any of it and trying to cash in on cheap prices when the price drops hit a month after it launches.

An extra Sneak Attack, and extra Force of Will, one extra Necropotence. It's not like I need them immediately or anything, and those certainly aren't cheap, but chances are they'll soon be cheaper than they've ever been. I don't know if I expect Mana Crypt to sit below $100.00, though. I already own one, but wouldn't say no to a couple more. I'm kind of tempted to move on that.
I still dislike the new borders. The foil stamp, more specifically, but still the border.
I agree. I kind of like the old school frame personally. I love finding old school foils as I just like the frame and how they did foils back then. Granted, when you get a nice foil where they really take their time on the new stuff thats really nice too but it seems like they dont really make really cool foils that often.

I actually like old border on everything but white cards. For those I try to get the new border.
I like Future Sight border but it's not as good to actually play with since the mana symbols are in an odd spot.
For me to buy ETM I would need bolt at common, delver at common with new art, brainstorm, serum visions or preordain at common, remand once again, berserk at a rare or mythic, and maybe blood moon with the old art but honestly I want shardless agent and a bunch others at uncommon for cube or just reprinted.
Note to self: Try not to pass by this thread when the hype of Eternal Masters is running through your head (and The Rumor Mill), it makes me post things in haste and as a result can be easily mistaken for borderline trolling (I would say "instead of the long multi-paragraph detailed posts I made", but I remembered I don't do those over here anyway).
Despite the hype (especially for the availability/accessibility of foils for cards like Toxic Deluge, Sylvan Library, the tutors and so on...), in reality I'm not too pumped for the Primary Product. Master Boxes usually run about 2-3 foil rares/mythics per box (due to the every-pack-a-foil-system), but the sheer amount of rares/mythics I want in foil already outnumber it. If anything, the hype being driven only leads to the MM1 effect on box prices and that's going to affect the singles.
It's going to quite a fine art of sniping for me to acquire those foils at their lowest price point when the pack-opening of the set commences.
I already gave up on Mana Crypt when it was previewed though, unlike other cards it's going to be a sheer nightmare if deciding which deck gets the copy if I had one anyway, so I think I'm not even going to bother finding one. Being at Mythic's not going to help, since Masters sets usually retain (and perhaps even raise) the prices of their Mythics after a while, so the thought of getting multiple copies doesn't seem feasible either.

Oh Rider, my heart will go on...
I'm excited to see what else comes, I would love quite a few cards in a new frame, but I'm happy with these three.
