Sweet. I would have preferred fast lands but these are just as timely a reprint. Good work here.

Us UW players over here wondering where the Mystic Gate reprint is.
It from shadowmoor soo not ruled over. But grave cains would be hard to fit: put it in future sight or shadowmoor?
the article says that only the enemy ones are in

"The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again"
Sadly, with the number crunch, we can deduce that the allied colored manlands won't be in the set either, as Celestial Colonnade would come right after Cascade Bluffs, which there is no room.
Okay, I'm really torn on this. I am very glad that they decided to reprint half the cycle of filter lands (and the enemy-colored ones, too, which we could always use more of)...but this means that the Urza's lands are not in the set. Those are both fairly iconic and long since overdue for a reprint, so that's disappointing. Though Reef Worm and especially Strionic Resonator are decent choices.
They may not be fetches, but these cards needed reprints really badly. You might not be excited to see them....but I bet you're gonna be excited to pull a couple.

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.

I guess they'll just have to reprint them the next time Standard makes a visit to that plane... now lessee, which plane is Standard headed to next... WHAT LUCK!
Filter lands are unexpected but a very solid choice, great commander lands that really could use the reprint.
Reef worm is a bit amusing given the recent bait about scornful egotist earlier this morning. Strionic resonator's also fine, not sure it'll be that great to have but still, better than Long-Forgotten Gohei.

I cannot imagine a world where they reprint Urza lands back into standard. I am getting a little tired of the lack of Urza lands in these master sets though. It's not like they need printings, there's tons of them out there, but Foil ones are basically impossible to come by/ridiculously expensive.
Solid reprints but I don't know what they're smoking still not reprinting Celestial Colonnade. If it's confirmed from the numbers that it can't be in this set that means we're almost 100% not getting it until the next masters set (no way it will be in standard or a commander product). Given the uptick in UWx decks thanks to jace colonnade going to rise in price fast.
Nothing in the next 6 months that is announced seems like it would have colonnade in. I really wish they're hurry up and print it so I can get my playset. I'm not spending £200 when it's got to get reprinted and should be rare and price should drop to half or something. WIZARDS!! Grrr
Lands are solid picks but Strionic Resonator? C'mon Wizards.

I went to SCG to have a quick check and can tell you it's the most expensive rare that debuted in M14 (so no cards like Mutavault since that represents Morningtide instead), so they actually went with the best choice possible from the set.
If they downshifted rarity (in which case I disregard planeswalkers by default) / chose to give M14 the Mythic slot then only Archangel of Thune and Rise of the Dark Realms will out-value Resonator.
I think "Young Pyromancer at Uncommon as the sole M14 representative" or "Kalonian Tusker, perhaps downshifted to common" would have been preferable to "Shoehorn in a rare from a weak class that really won't satisfy the value buyers or the drafters".
My guess is that if they are shifting direction in the upcoming sets they are going to reprint the land cycles in the standard and core sets. These probably ended up here because Lorwyn isn't getting revisited soon.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!

Even though its value may be at 5 bucks right now, its because it has never had a reprint. Its not used in anything (maybe EDH) and after this reprint its price will drop to basically bulk status around a buck I would imagine. It looks decent on first inspection but really isn't.

Not excited deck-wise with the filter lands. Not providing colors on the first turn is a big turn off in modern. They have value money-wise, but the other possible choices were so much better.
As others have said, no colonnade means its already inflated price will just keep rising. I could almost build Jeskai control in modern but for the lack of these.
Good to see the filters, they're not the best lands out there, but they're still solid cards and are in need of a reprint. Now to get the allied ones done as well at some point....
