I mean, I understand reprinting casual cards or cards for EDH in a Master's set. However, even at $6 currently, this doesn't feel like a card that would have high enough demand to need to be reprinted at rare here. That's just my two cents considering the trend of previews today and the "purpose" of UMA stated by Wizards.
Man, the chaff level at rare is real. I can't see these boxes sustaining MSRP unless there's an influx of bombs.
This could have been literally any blue draw spell like Stroke of Genius, Blue Sun's Zenith, meh.

The "Crazy One", playing casual magic and occasionally dipping his toes into regular play since 1994.
Currently focusing on Pre-Modern (Mono-Black Discard Control) and Modern (Azorious Control, Temur Rhinos).
Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.

both of those cards can be gotten 4 of to one visions, while not the 10+ dollars of most of the other rares price wise its a good bit better than stroke or blue sun.
Oh boy, here comes the chaff. If they have started with the crap rares as early as Monday I have no hopes for the set and firmly believe everything worth showing has been already shown.

Ah yes, it’s spoiler season. This is exactly what I needed to get myself in the mood.
Did people really expect every rare in this set to be pack-value? Like, save your bullets for the Triskaidekaphobias - if the low end rares in this set are cards that were $6 before announce - that's actually not a terrible thing, and people who expected every pack to be profitable were being wildly optimistic.

Visions of Beyond is only chaff if you buy a box at MSRP and, since you can get a box for $255 right now, VoB is not chaff.
What thstmarkguy said. This card has a home and is worth the cardboard. If all the worst rare's are like this, I willbe really happy, because every previous Master set has had a bunch of rares that never saw any play of any kind. This is not great out of an expensive pack, but it beats the candy out of Simic Sky Swallower.

I don't know about your needs, but I absolutely know that mine aren't bulk cards in 14$ packs.

I expected every rare to be at least Baleful Strix / Shardless Agent tier. They don't cover the cost of a pack but they're pretty playable, not an obscure niche card that was 5 dollars because it hadn't been reprinted.
I'd have expected another Ancestral Visions reprint, as the graveyard mill theme makes this pretty mission centric and any early draw spell could work.

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!

Both of those cards are less than $6...so what's the problem? It's not like Strix and Agent are ubiquitous. In fact, both of those cards were crapped on because of their rarity in Eternal.

Yeah, but at least they're useful and powerful cards played in Legacy.

You were right though, nothing left to show for the day, that was for sure...

Or have neither of them in a freaking 14 dollars booster.

True. Or they could downshift it to uncommon, for that matter.
Every time i start to consider this set, something like this gets spoiled
