Is it one week of spoilers or 2? It seems all the rares and mythics were spoiled this week and I feel like wizards wouldn’t do a week to spoil commons and uncommons. I may be missing something but as I said I thought we were getting 2 weeks of spoilers.
If it is demonic tutor (which I hope it is) I really hope it has new art. I hate that Liliana/Kothophed art. The original would be awesome, but I doubt they'll do that.
#213 would need to fall between Pernicous Deed and Prossh, and be an uncommon (or a card that could conceivably be bumped to uncommon in a Masters environment) that is not Azorius, Gruul, or Selesnya. That leaves us a very small list and the most likely cards are Pharika's Mender, Pillory of the Sleepless, Possessed Skaab, or Prophetic Bolt. Plague Spores is also feasible but is super below the power level of the set. Plaxcaster Frogling is possible but we've seen no cards with graft and I secretly think that blue-green's card will be Icefeather Aven, Secret Plans, or a downshifted Sagu Mauler for limited signposting.
Everything else is in the wrong colors, reserved, or impossible to imagine being downshifted all the way to uncommon.

I feel like this set is one solid rare away from being decent. As some have mentioned, if the last rare is in fact Demonic Tutor, i will be ok with my case preorder. Especially if it's with the judge promo art or new art as i also hate the lily + kothophed one. If it isn't, i'll seriously debate cancelling at least a couple of boxes.
Pharika's Mender is an interesting choice. I agree that those are the only 4 options. I don't expect Icefeather Aven or Sagu Mauler necessarily - the morphs we've seen have been blue and red. I'm pulling for Pillory of the Sleepless because I think Baloth Null is a better choice than Pharika's Mender, although Mender is a spiiiiicy card to combo with Pernicious Deed.
I will say that there's a lot of wiggle-room here, but I am close to 100% on Null (represents OotGW), Lightning Helix (the topdecked Lightning Helix is among the most famous moments in MtG history), and Prophetic Bolt (if we assume Helix is in, every other good Izzet signposting card is crunched out). I also feel pretty good about saying that at least one of Hellhound and Knight is in, since it will rep Origins.
EDIT: I just realized a huge problem with my list - no Alara Reborn cards, and Alara Reborn can't be represented anywhere else! Woops. Definitely wrong about at least one of those, then.
EDIT: NVM, found it myself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRRf-btA9zg, preview is at around 15:28. Wow, just wow. I mean at least Avatar of Woe would have still been an exciting stupid commander card from Prophecy; Plague Wind is nearly always just a worse In Garruk's Wake and this denies us our tutor (probably).

*sigh* by the looks of it diabolic tutor is probably waiting to be reveal in the final bunch of cards
Unless they decide to print Demonic Tutor at Uncommon (and some other high dollar unc's) this set is a bust.
That seems unlikely as it would be the most expensive uncommon they've ever reprinted by a lot; seems like if something is over $25 they bump it to rare and sometimes bump it even if it isn't there - see Enlightened Tutor, Mystical Tutor, and Heritage Druid for recent examples. They did print Mishra's Bauble, Remand, and Spell Snare at uncommon but Demonic Tutor outstrips all of those by a fair amount. I guess the closest comparison would be Sol Ring, but I think D-tutors secondary value even outstrips Sol Ring pre-Commander Deck.
Here's to some sweet surprise uncommons or commons. :/
I'm hoping the green downgraded legendary creature to be Iwamori of the Open Fist, which I think is interesting with the cycle of uncommon legendary creatures, but we'll see.
All you can do is hope Dominaria is the second coming of OG Zendikar/OG Innistrad. A25 was a major bust, but if Dominaria is great, at least it gets the bad taste out of our mouths and relatively quickly.

Hope springs eternal, but sometimes it's time to give up.
Hey, Demonic Tutor could still be in at uncommon!
Atleast it could have Ben damnation
They failed again with no demonic tutor Esc cards in a master set
Probably diabolic tutor or razakeths rite for the tutor then
Source? Link? It's too painful to believe.

There are still some good possible value uncommons that aren't crunched out though: Rhystic Study, Eternal Witness, Dismember, Path to Exile, Fatal Push, Noxious Revival, Crypt Rats, Undead Warchief, Conflagrate, Footsteps of the Goryo.
