Hopefully we will see him in Commander 2018? For fun I thought about what his card would look like and came up with this...
Tetsuo Umezawa
1RBU
Legendary Creature - Samurai Mage
Protection from Red, Black and Blue
RBU: Exile Target Permanent
U: Exile Tetsuo Umezawa. Return it to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of the next end step
You may attach any equipment to this creature as if it had flash and for 0 mana.
4/4
Too strong? Too weak? How would you make his card?
I hear from lots of people the cards that they would like to see reprinted as a non-masterpiece (some have already been, but players seem to want another reprint. I hear the main reason is because the price is high, but players talk about others too. These ones below seem to be ones I hear a lot. Other than price is there any other reason? I'm just curious.
Rishadan Port
Through the Breach
Glimpse the Unthinkable
Bloodghast
Phyrexian Obliterator
Consecrated Sphinx
Magus of the Moon
Fulminator Mage
Noble Heirarch
Fauna Shaman
What other cards does everyone want to see reprinted in the upcoming Masters sets?
I think there are only a few like Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Darksteel Gargoyle. Are there any others?
Excluding creatures that are dependent on other things to be indestructible like Angelic Overseer and/or other creatures that need to have indestructibility activated.
In a Commander product, yes, I'd hope we get a new Tetsuo - Legends really did not do any of its own characters justice, what with the, ah, primitive card designs.
Will he be a 15/15? No, because his defeat of Bolas involved lots of extenuating circumstances and he was just an ordinary mortal man, which leads into...
Will he ever be printed in a Standard level product again? No, as the story, at least at this point in time, is linear and there's no jumping backwards in time. It's now the 4600s AR (iirc) and Bolas's tenure as Madaran Emperor and Tetsuo's lifetime was in the 4100s.
I didn't know how Tetsuo fit in the timeline exactly. Thanks! I guess maybe he would just be a 3/3 or something with some very powerful abilities then? I would love to see him in a Commander set! I wonder if he is still alive then (maybe extending his life through some magical means via mana or something)? If so I imagine Nicol Bolas' priority would be to get vengeance on him.
Since Nicol Bolas is the big, bad guy these days in Magic. I was wondering if another Tetsuo Umezawa card will be made soon. Since he defeated Nicol Bolas, I would think his card would be amazingly powerful right? As powerful as the Emrakul at least? I was reading the stories and it seems he just disappeared. I'd be really interested in seeing another cool Tetsuo card.
If they did make another Tetsuo Umezawa, what does everyone think he would be?
Ok, I took most of your recommendations - thanks again! - and here is the revised version. I added a few more based on what you guys said and it looks like I need to take about 11 more cards and I'm done. Any more suggestions?
Maybe turn him into a 3/4 and having him tap to exile a permanent would be better. Also remove the protections from his colors.

I came across this and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on whether these are real WOTC Magic cards.

If they are real, is this a good price for the set? It seems like a good deal, but I haven't been playing long enough to really know.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ahead of time everyone!
