So, Bitterblossom at mythic rarity, and Lightning Bolt at uncommon. Woah. At least Bitterblossom won't lose much value and burn is not an insanely easy draft archetype?
I wondering where Bitterblossom's value comes from, it see almost 0 play in both Modern and Legacy. Did they just raise it to mythic because it's op in limited?

I assume a lot of the price is people keeping it in their binders and casual players who built faeries. It does see some play in B/W tokens, which can affect prices a bit (a la Auriok Champion), but I am more sure it is based on the casual players and people who bought it when it was still banned.

Might be more tricky to play Burn in my meta in the next few months. Everyone at my LGS has been clamoring for a Leyline of Sanctity reprint for a while and it looks like I might be boarding in Destructive Revelry in the dark more often.

I'm happy for this reprint (still need the fourth one). But this reprint also pushes Burn even more into the Naya colours (Revelry is just sooo good), instead of the weak Wear//Tear.

Well, see, back in the day, there was this archetype called Faeries...
Ouch man I'm hurt. Though yeah, its mythic rarity is more due to the history of magic...That and a free 1/1 every turn would make limited a NIGHTMARE. So I am happy with bitterblossom at mythic, since the regular one is only $40. And the deck needs new cards before its among the competitive tiers, so it will not become too much harder to get

Every day that passes without Serum Visions, Remand, and Damnation being spoiled, I get a little closer to giving up on everything and crying in the fetal position.

I doubt that Remand or Damnation will be reprinted in MM2 and don't see why people expect them to be.

I agree Damnation is unlikely due to the Judge Foil printing, but why would Remand be omitted? A $14 uncommon that sees heavy play in Modern seems like it should be top of the list to reprint in a set like this.
I wouldn't be surprised either way on Damnation, but Remand was up there with Fulminator Mage, Serum Visions and Noble Hierarch as the cards I most expected to see in the set.
As for Damnation, I'd be guessing it was in the original MM1 file, then removed because it was put in the file for Theros, then later removed from Theros before the set was finalised. MaRo said a lot in the RTR era that 'yes, we know black sucks now, yes, we've been working on fixing this'.
I expect we will see Damnation reprinted, probably in a MM product, but maybe in a Standard set if WotC want to push the pendulum back on how strong removal is in Standard. We know that right now is an experiment in what the game looks like with 3 mana weenie sweepers and 5 mana proper sweepers - IIRC, prior to Khans there was only a 3 month period without a 4 mana sweeper in Standard (immediately prior to Zendikar).
I don't think we will see many more 4 mana hard sweepers in Standard's future, but that doesn't mean we never will.

Remand was reprinted relatively recently in the Jace vs. Vraska Duel Deck. Sure, it was a little bit ago, but I still don't expect it until MM3.
Remand has a rare card price, if reprinted can be at rare for sure, its very OP for an uncommon card

I doubt we would see a Remand reprint at rare. It has been uncommon in both it's printings and similar cards have always been common or uncommon. While it is very powerful in constructed, it is just okay in non-cube draft formats.

Bblossom at mythic just seems dumb to me, but i have a full set anyway (though one isn't in the best of conditions). I am, however, really excited to get new faerie rogue tokens! hope they have sweet art.
It seems like that the Rares are garbage but the Mythic-Rares are all awesome (both money and play wise, but there are some decent cards too (like 4 atm)).

I don't know, Ulamog and Kozilek aren't really played except in casual/commander as a 1-off. Their value is going to tank hard I think. Iona is also not played much except in some fringe reanimators decks so I think her price is going steeply down as well. The rest of the mythics are ok though. Atm I really wouldn't buy a box at msrp, I doubt you'll get value out of it unless you're really lucky. Don't be fooled by the current prices of cards in the set, most will drop a lot because they were printed in unpopular/old sets.
Maybe Rancor, Hyena Umbra?
Thing looks exactly like what all UB cards should.
Every Rare they spoil now is taking away my desire to open these...
Well looks like I can add Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre and Eye of Ugin to the list. MM15 bringing all the Tron goodies it looks like.
I wondering where Bitterblossom's value comes from, it see almost 0 play in both Modern and Legacy. Did they just raise it to mythic because it's op in limited?

I don't think Rancor is in any of the possible sets.
Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.
Ah, you appear to be right. I knew it was an older card, I just didn't realize how new the printing that made it Modern legal was.
