I didn't see a thread for this sort of thing, but i was curious to see what kind of FTVs people are expecting to see in the future.
One i though of was FTV:Cycles. 6 5 card cycles from MTG's past. The main cycle i was really thinking of was the warchief cycle, in the new frame, with new art. Perhaps the Shrine cycle from Kamigawa too. The spellshapers from FUT (the token makers) and the ones from Prophecy.
What do you guys think? Do you think an FTV like this would bring in enough money to make it appealing to WOTC? I suppose they'd have to put in some chase rares to make it actively desirable, like the Mirrodin swords, but i doubt that would happen...that'd be nuts.
On that note, another i thought of was FTV: Weapons. Be a bunch of the best equipments. Perhaps expanded to include some of the best equipment wielders.
FTV Equipment
All 5 Mirrodin Swords
Skull clamp
Batterskull
Worldslayer
ect.
I'm hoping for FTV planeswalkers.
Both Elspeths
Both Jaces
Both Chandras
Garruk
Koth
Gideon + others.
^ That would sell like crazy.

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
FTV:Fungus! featuring such amazing cards as Fungusaur and Thallid >.<
Seriously though, a FTV: Planeswalkers is inevitable. However, I don't think we will see it soon, maybe in five or so years when we have gotten some more walkers. Expect it to contain both JTMS, Karn, and Nicol Bolas.

It's about time for the reserved list to die, for the sake of Vintage and Legacy (And Commander).
i've always thought that the from the vault series should have been made of cards that were REALLY FROM THE VAULTS, i.e., stuff that they designed but never got the chance to see print, because of obscene power levels or not falling into the storylines well enough, etc.
I'm going on record right now and stating that before the end of 2012 we will see foil dual lands in booster packs (The real, Alpha dual lands). You can quote me on that.
And by gems I mean the uncut gems of the past, the cards that started out as sleepers, later to completely define standard or at least make it into a tier 1 deck. A lot of these cards should not be all that expensive today now that they're not standerd legal anymore. I recall the days of Tempest, where all of sudden Tradewind Rider and Cursed Scroll stole the spotlight while they started out as 1 euro rares.

The secret to enjoyable Commander games is not winning first, but losing last.
If my post has no tags, then i posted from my phone.
A FTV:Planeswalker will probably be inevitable. It'll feature two 'factions' of walkers that fought each other at some point, like JvsC, GvsL, AvsBolas. And then the rest of the thing will be signature spells of those walkers.
FTV:Gems is actually a great idea. Cards that suddenly destroyed formats, like Skullclamp (although it's already been printed in an FTV), and Marit Lage/Hexmage. It'd be hard to determine what cards should go in it, as "format-breaking" is a rather wide scope and could effective encompass Jace/Ravager and the likes.
Another i thought of was FTV:Lords. The warchief cycle could go in this, but so would tons of lords from the past, like Lord of Atlantis, and the likes.

Best I could come up counting the reserve list..Make it happen Wizards.
this is close to what I would expect, but probably no karakas. well, maybe..hard to say. This is best yet though here
EDIT: probably not both mutavault and mishras factory too.. one or the other.

The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.
I invision a future where one is not mighty when he can silence a crowd with brutality,
but when he leaves them speechless with wisdom.

Never going to happen, but it's fun to laugh at this one.

Ha, I would prefer From the Vault: Lands... Add in Cradle, Academy, Wasteland, and an older blue fetch or two and you got my money...

That blue list will never happen, due to several of the cards being on the reserved list. I mean, Ancestral Recall, Time Walk, Meditate, Time Twister, and Mind over Matter, really?
People, if you want to make a guess of fifteen cards in a future possible FTV product, at least avoid the cards on the Reserved list.
