Heh, I just traded my Legion Loyalist at around $15, nice recoup here by me.
Reprints look good, Aurelia looks fantastic, might pick up the Golgari or Boros.

Please tell me that Niv is going to be available in foil. I don't want to live in a world where the trash art of the duel deck is foil while that gorgeous piece isn't.

It is, Niv and Aurelia both have stars near their collector numbers.

I love the reprints, but why Deathrite Shaman? He's banned in basically every competitive format he is potentially legal in and is proven to be a broken card. He isn't even showing up in standard...
Oh, this will be comedy gold if he is in standard again. I can see him being balanced in a more limited card pool so at least it would make some sense?
He was banned in Standard too in his day. Right after I picked up a playset.
I am 100 percent going to pick up the simic one no matter what. I hope Kraj is in it - i could use to replace my one that got water damaged and I love the set symbols.

Aw man, me and my Boros buddy are going to be happy campers. Though that does raise an interesting question. Those two are the only ones stared among the spoiled. Does that mean Boros and Izzet are the only ones getting foils, or are the other three getting foils of new cards, or are there more reprints to be spoiled?

It seems safe to assume each deck will have at least one foil,
so we're probably just not seeing, say, the Golgari foil here.
Something I'm a bit curious about—
will these be *all* Ravnica cards?
Or might we finally see some overdue reprints like Absorb and Temporal Spring?
It would be a great place to put stuff like that,
but they haven't exactly been tripping over themselves on their way to the printer for these in the past.

I'm assuming they'll all be Ravnica.
And I'm hoping all the lands are Ravnica and themed to the guild they're in. But sing as Char doesn't have a guild watermark I expect the usual WotC inconsistency.
Niv and Aurelia are the only foils of the bunch, what hints at them being the face cards of their respective kits. Niv is a rare while Aurelia is a mythic though. Does that mean we get 2-3 face cards per kit or will the rarities just be unbalanced?
You know that card? That card we first banned in modern, then is legacy? We totally are re-printing it, now. Not when it was legal. Now. Hold still, while we lick delicious salt from your eyes.
It was never prohibitively expensive, and it was reprinted while it was still legal in Legacy. These days we have more than enough actual, relevant things to complain about, there really is no need to go out of your way to complain about irrelevant stuff.
I'm assuming they'll all be Ravnica.

A coherent play experience is more important, so I´d hope and expect them to not stick dogmatically to guild watermarked card just for the sake of it. But yeah, please don´t shove some random Theros or Kamigawa cards in there.
When they designed these I would assume it was well over a year ago. At that time DRS was still legal in Legacy.
It does look "bad" though, I admit.

I honestly don´t get it. Should they never be allowed to reprint a card ever again if it isn´t legal in Modern/Legacy? This isn´t a Masters set, where the primary objective is to reprint staples. These are casual decks, and DRS is an iconic Gruul card. What exactly is the problem with reprinting it?
I´m not playing Aurelia in Modern/Legacy either, yet I´m not here saying that it being in the product is terrible somehow.

When I hit my 3000 post mark, I'm gone for good.
Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
I'd assume the Guild Leaders from both the original Ravnica and Return to Ravnica blocks may be reprinted only as premium and with new art from what I can gather. If that is the case, I am personally excited to see Rakdos, Lord of Riots make a comeback, even if just for limited and with new art. I hope they bring back the shocklands in these if they are not in this upcoming set(s), and that they have their original art from the original Ravnica block.
One should also note that there is 127 cards that are going to probably be reprinted. More should follow in the coming weeks.
Well that's the reason they can do it now. Previously they wouldn't have been able to put it into a precon because it would've resulted in a True-Name Nemesis situation.
Now reprinting DRS in GRN but at mythic - that would be annoying.
I'm assuming they'll all be Ravnica.

Char doesn't have the watermark, because it doesn't fulfill the requirement for a watermark: Color identity of the guild colors or a guild mechanic. It got a new art fitting the guild, so as long as they do that for all the cards that aren't already tied to the guild I'm more than happy to find e. g. a Mulch with Golgari art in one of the decks.

I really hope the legendaries are foil, at the very least
(EDIT: Niv and Aurelia are, the others are not).
Hopefully, Shadow of Doubt is in the Dimir deck—
I have plenty, but it's a bit of a pet card.

Agreed. There probably never was a plan to put a fetchland in there instead of this iconic Golgari card that still can be played in Casual.

I, and I'm pretty sure others who complained, find it tasteless to do it in a pre-con. You get a guaranteed shaman, but it's no longer sought after.
