Spoiler hype at incredibly high levels! I hope we'll find out two or three good cards today (quite surely Noble Hierarch for the playmat), and we'll know at least more than half of the draft archetypes. I posted my predictions some months ago, I'm really curious to see how many of them are true! Just six hours or so...
I hope for good spoilers today too, I caved into peer pressure and purchased a box yesterday from my local LGS for 180. I never spend that much. No clue how I am ever going to collect my power set if 180 makes me nervous.

RIP Batman guy. I hope somebody picks up the slack now that you are gone. Sick children need their Batman.
From the point of this post, in exact 4 hours and 15 minutes. And then there's always random independent sites who might get a spoiler or two in the meantime. But expect them from that time.

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.
I can honestly say I don't care about the draft archetypes. This product is clocking in way too high priced to actually play more than 1 limited event regardless of whether its incredible or terrible :/

True, but even so, we'd be able to at least make better guesses as to what's in the set.

We can't really be surprised anymore. They learned last time that Modern Masters is essentially printing money. I specifically budgeted for a few drafts because the last one was one of the best limited formats ever. I'm not thrilled about it, obviously, but I'm fine with the occasional high-end product. With Modern Masters, specifically, it keeps new/inexperienced players out of drafts.

Can you name all of the creature types with at least 20 cards? Try my Sporcle Quiz! Last Updated: 6/29/20 (Core Set 2021).
I hope its something we haven't seen in the "leak".
Yes and no. If it is something seen in the leak, it helps give it more credibility since it did take a hit from the Splinter Twin thing.

How many mythics per box was MM1? and will it be about the same for MM2?
I pulled 3 from my box of MM1. Think it was 2 or 3 per box. Basically, each column has 8 packs and one of them was a mythic. Think the odds are 1:9 for a mythic so some boxes get 2 mythics. I did pull two foil rates from my box. I do remember that.
My LGS is doing a midnight release. I plan to be there to buy as much as I can. I want a box. If they do packs, I want 12 - 1 and a half columns worth. If they put out packs, they shuffle the packs 1st. We shall see how this one goes down.
2 boxes pre-order paid at other stores. We shall see.

It does vary though. Including foils, I had five mythics in mine. Boxes and packs are always a gamble though. I still have a box of MM1, and I'm just waiting for the right group of people with whom to draft it.

I opened 3 boxes of MM1. These are the mythics that I got from all 3:
2x Dark Confidant
2x Sword of Light and Shadow
1x Kiki-Jiki
1x Sarkhan Vol
1x Progenitus
2x Keiga (1x FOIL)
2x Yosei
1x Ryusei
So in total, 12 Mythics in 3 boxes, although 5 of those were Dragons. I did eventually get really good value from that Foil Keiga to a commander player though
I think if you are worried about value you should get it as long as you can stay around MSRP. There are going to be rares worth a lot. Also there are going to be commons and uncommons that will probably worth a pack by themselves. Then the chance of getting any of these in foil with a foil in every pack. I would not count on the foils bringing you value, but I would count on commons and uncommons.

I picked up 2 @ MSRP. But tax at that level is a killer >,<
Well my advice to would-be drafter who don't necessarily have the cash to draft this over and over, to make your own Modern Masters cube.
MM drafts aren't the best limited format; that title belongs to Cube IMO. In fact many Modern Cubes are borne out of sheer frustration (in turn inspiration).

Pickups from the articles today.
Design team for MM15 started by listing all the cards they wanted for Constructed Reasons. (Pretty good place to start)
Looks like Metalcraft is the Blue White archetype.
Infect wasn't playing nicely and is *not* a draft archetype
The team leaned slightly Zendikar and Scars Blocks for their mechanics on the draft archetypes.
Glad to see the spoiled cards. Wondering if Daybreak Coronet and Noble Hierarch are going to drop in price. I'm looking forward picking up a playset of the Hierarch but am being held back by it's price.
Thank goodness Wizards still has *some* sanity left and decided to print Hierarch at rare and not mythic. Since everyone and their brother wants Hierarchs for Infect and Little Kid, the price won't plummet, but it'll at least drop an acceptable amount.
"This helps give people more direction during a draft. For instance, the black-green archetype in this set is all about making tokens and sacrificing them for value"
from one of the mothership articles does this mean doubling season again?
Also its probably worth scouring these articles for other hints.
