Well, which DM rare is worth anything much? Given the input requirement, the output can only be at this level. Sure, they could have skipped the rare in DM and put Voice of Resurgence instead...

Or not give Dragon Maze a single rare, i'm sure there are ssets that don't have a rare representitive. Instead lets give this weak set 2 rares. Great idea.
Don't get me wrong, Notion Thief is a great card and wouldn't mind that mutch as representitive, but it also ahs Ruric Thar and a couple of other sets has *****ty cards as representitives while having great ones in their sets, Dragon Maze doesn't have a choice in value.

They could have put Master of Cruelties. That saw (and sees in edh) more play than Notion Thief ever did.
Notion Thief sees a ton of EDH play. Maybe not at Turn 2 kill with Force of Will backup tables, but it's a solid include for just about every deck with blue and black.

You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.
I could literally spend a Sunday afternoon and throw together a better Masters set than this. I'm confident that anyone on this site who has played Magic for any discernible amount of time could do the same.
Notion Thief sees play in Vintage and competitive EDH in addition to the occasional appearance in Legacy or Modern. By power level it's 100% worthy of inclusion here.
Folks. If you pre-ordered boxes, cancel while you can. Don't give Wizards or vendors your hard earned money for this chaff. They continue it because people buy. Let them rot with a rotten product. Buy singles or wait until it goes on fire sale. WotC needs to be confronted on crap like this rare, its horrible.

Why is Ruric part of the set, because he's (they're?) relevant to the DM story? Hey at least it's not Emmara Tandris
TBH if we're going to pick a card to represent Dragon's Maze, Emmara Tandris does a great job conveying the disappointment we all felt when that set dropped.
