Wow, complete and utter disaster. As a strictly EDH player in a more or less super casual meta, I don't run this anymore. It was VERY funny in Kresh the Bloodbraided back when the format was young but it's outclassed by In Garruk's Wake and if you are in blue Cyclonic Rift.
The last rare really needed to be a tutor or Death Baron or Grave Pact or something else to bolster the value of the set.

No way... that's the last rare, I mean... really? How the **** is it even possible that sets that call themselves iconic masters and masters 25, the latter of which should represent 25 years of magic, fail to deliver either scapeshift and/or demonic ******* tutor? It's not like those two are in dire need of a reprint and are heavily played in modern and commander. Instead this set, which should show 25 awesome years of magic, is loaded with garbage like triskaidekaphobia, that stupid tree, both akromas at mythic and yet another reprint of mystic snake, among several other questionable picks?
I don't think the set is absolute trash, but it's not the masters it should've been, at least from my point of view.
I'm SO SICK of the "too strong for Standard" argument. It's the new "Dies to removal". We can have a two mana 4/4 with a zillion abilities, but we can't just have Accumulated Knowledge. Makes sense.

As a whole it certainly feels like a let down. I didn’t have any faith to pre-order and I’m still bummed just because of what this could have, and should have, been.
Why did people think Demonic Tutor was getting in here? The only reason it keeps getting printed in weird side decks is because of loopholes it is still on the reserved list.

Not on the reserved list they can print it any time, just choose not to. Same with cruel tutor, infernal tutor, imperial seal, and grim tutor

As far as I am aware this
The first list of Reserved Cards included:
All cards from Alpha / Beta that had not appeared in Fourth Edition or Ice Age.
Covers DT pretty soundly, outside of A,B,U,R it was printed in an online only set one of the very first dual decks (which they changed their policy regarding these in 2010 they used to have reserved cards same with FTV) and a reprint of that same dual deck.
I don't see any evidence anywhere that DT is available for printing whenever they want.
I hope this set sells like complete ***** and it's the last "premium" reprint product they ever release. I would be fine with this set if it cost the same as every other set they release. It would actually probably be pretty fun and nostalgic to draft.

Emphasis mine -- to expand upon Kman's post, while Demonic Tutor was on the original Reserved List (in 1996), it was removed in 2002.
It is likely that Rhystic Study wont be in the set, and this card took the spot for cards in Prophecy, and it likely WOTC wouldn't want it played in limited.

Good thing I didn't sell my Demonic Tutor I guess. At least another whole year of waiting for the possibility of getting a foil (I know the Judge Foil exists, I'm not paying for that though.)
Good stuff Wizards. I'd have hated to feel compelled to spend money on packs by thinking they'd be worthwhile. I appreciate the gesture of them wanting me to save my money.
