Next will be Celestial Colonnade which may reach $80-100 in the next few months, Raging Ravine that may be going to $30-40 based on Jund's performances. And we know these won't be reprinted in a Standard set.
How do we know they won't be reprinted for Standard? From previous experience? Or did I miss something?
Also hoping that slot 235 is a land and not an artifact.... namely Ancient Tomb (likely up-shifted to rare).

Ancient Tomb would need to be an uncommon because there aren't any rare slots left for things that aren't Golgari and black (since Notion Thief was just spoiled for Dimir).
Okay, so with Notion Thief and Totally Lost Gatecrash has representation. That leaves, what, 20 sets let without cards?

Also Triscadecaphobia taking up one of the black rare slots. Does that still leave one slot in the black rare or was that the last one?
VERY surprising that Bloodbraid Elf is probably out, but Stangg finally getting a token is cool.
Lol Triskaidekaphobia. Well played WOTC. The odds of Demonic Tutor at uncommon are approaching 0, so I guess we'll just be going another "iconic" set without the granddaddy of all tutors getting a foil printing.
It wasn't really in doubt, but this is definitely a singles-only set for me. It is good for all of us salty people to remember, however, that EVERY card is someone's first/most beloved/most needed card and with 249 slots they were never going to please everyone or even most people.

There's still room for Karona, False God. Just throwing it out there.
Karona would need to be downgraded to uncommon and #221 would have to be a multicolor card, but...crazier things have happened.
But we're still talking about slot 207 (after Hannah)?
Yeah, but there are only so many rares, and each guild should be getting a rare and an uncommon, so there aren't any rare slots left, and there aren't enough multicolor slots for the guilds if that one isn't a guild card unless 221 is a guild card.
I can't believe we are going to have another set without cruel tutor, infernal tutor, demonic tutor, imperial seal, or Grim Tutor. They all need reprints and you aren't going to have more than one a set. AHHHH!!!!!!
And no bloodbraid is really a joke after the unbanning.

That list is Amazing considering what weve seen for Rares.
A lot of those sets should have had a rare rep, but I guess we needed trisk, 2 Dragons Maze, and other crap rares first

- We haven't seen enough allies to think that cohort will be a thing especially as one of Magic's most behated mechanics, so Zulaport Chainmage is unlikely.
I had just typed up a long, thoughtful post on golgari rares and sure enough Pernicious Deed was spoiled. A fine pick, although Maelstrom Pulse would have been more valuable. As I figured, Alpha and Invasion block are over-represented as they were some of the most nostalgic of times.
I will be shocked if Golgari's signpost uncommon isn't Baloth Null. OotGW needs a representative and it's a fine little signpost. It'll be that or good ol' Putrefy.

Draft my cube! (630 cards)
WUBRG Humans
BRW Mardu Pyromancer
UW UW "Control"
UR Blue Moon
It could still get printed technically as an uncommon
And the semi final black rare is triskaidekaphobia you can actually commit suicide in draft with tree of redemption
No, Stangg got the Gruul Uncommon slot.
And Bloodbraid Elf is pissed about it.

It's not crunched out yet - there are still slots before Dark Ritual, and one Black Rare yet to see.
But realistically? I don't think we've seen any single-set-keyword cards yet. I don't think they'll Escalate now.
There's still one last black rare slot left.
That's are last chance with demonic tutor

Just a hair quick there
There's one black rare slot left
If it's not a tutor then you can pout
Nice catch, it almost certainly is!
- We haven't seen enough allies to think that cohort will be a thing especially as one of Magic's most behated mechanics, so Zulaport Chainmage is unlikely.
- We haven't seen any level-up and if we were going to get it one would assume a rare like Student of Warfare or Lighthouse Chronologist would have been revealed already, so it is unlikely to be Zulaport Enforcer.
- Zzzyxas's Abyss is silver bordered.

I think it's a big coincidence that they save the last black rare as the last rare?
Maybe it really is demonic tutor
