Well, the first spoilers are up and we are definitely not off to the races. If this set looks too much like eternal masters we're in trouble.

Chalice of the Void as rare would be ask to much those days, right?
Yeah, it's disappointing to see it at Mythic, but at least the price should drop somewhat.
Also disappointing that Starcity doesn't have a day one preview card yet. Or Channel Fireball for that matter.

Already welcome reprints in the set, which is nice, but rarity bumped up to maintain their value some on the secondary market, on top of them all no where being close to touching Jace, the Mind Sculptor in value. I must say that so far, I am not impressed for the first day of spoilers and dissapointed in WOTC. Imperial Recruiter has some value, sure, but why is it mythic, I mean, Chalice of the Void is now a mythic too? What the hell is that for?
Almost certainly no enemy colors fectlands in this master set as they were in Modern Master 2017.
(And probably no fecthes altogether, if I had to guess...)
If your suggestion is that things reprinted in mm17 can’t be reprinted here, I’ve got a Blood Moon to show you...
I'm actually pretty happy with the printing of Chalice of the Void as a mythic, for I have just bought a pair a few weeks ago for a pretty sum of money. Offcourse I understand this is very personal
Looking at the price trends on the boxes in Europe people are really happy with what's announced so far. I went ahead and preordered for £164 which I was pleased with as it's out of stock now and the cheapest elsewhere is now like £180. Had the chance for £150 a week ago but sadly I was too concerned the set would be another letdown.
Some nice cards and junk but obviously can't all be high value. I just hope for some decent money uncommons and rares so it's not a mythic or bust set again.
If they don't have more high value cards in the mythic slot and rare slot I'm getting a bad feeling about this...

There will be good stuff in there. Bound to be some mythic tutor in black, maybe something like Cataclysm in white and so on. It looks like they want to push this set as a corrective issue to Iconic Masters, so good staples with a little chaff to lower the EV to "normal". Set looks good so far!

I think it would help their spoilers if they showed the constructed cards with high amounts of play first (which they do mostly), and showcase the draft filler rare cards like sundering titan on the last few days.
Recruiter is kind of in a weird spot, though.

Ponza time to shine in modern. BBE check. Blood Moon check. Chandra, TOD check. Only Burn is a cheaper deck now that can consistently put up results

Blood Moon and Cursecatcher is nice!

Boy do I hope so. A foil Simian Spirit Guide that isn't $80 US a pop. Sign me up!
Modern: Storm
Legacy: ANT
edit: Oops, except for Pauper and similar formats, as others have pointed out.
...except Pauper. Pauper can get legality turned on by a masters reprint (as happened for Burning-Tree Emissary and Seeker of the Way, among others)
