Desolate Lighthouse.. oh boy.. honestly around $270 a box sounds like what should have been MSRP. Not the dramatic $315, do not buy this box for that much even if the evaluated price of the box is that high. Too much of a gamble.
The values are almost all at the commons and uncommons. Shame that Wizards are indirectly forcing Pauper/budget players to go the pauper/budget route: Buying online instead of supporting LGSs.
Kinda surprised that NONE of Preordain/Ponder/Daze/Gush/Brainstorm made the cut for blue
I mean Sleight of Hand pretty much fills that role (Pre/Pon/Brain). They weren't likely to put more than one U cantrip in, and the one they chose is... the one that was so long out of print it had reached $4+-common level, and the one that's actually Modern legal.
This thread is full of idiots... Lightning Bolt is NOT being reprinted.
Many times has a writer in Wizards said so, because of the plain and simple fact that it's too powerful for what it costs. x/3 creatures shouldn't be able to die at instant speed for one mana without a signifigant drawback. (like PTE giving you a land)
I absolutely guarantee that LB will not be printed in M10, and you can quote me on that.
This isn't worth a box tbh. There are plenty of uncommons that they could've fit in here that would have made it worth it. manamorphose? Path to Exile? Rest In Peace downshifted? I wish one day they would take our ideas on how to make a set work and integrate it.

We did. We knew that from announcement day.
The only new info in this reveal at the rare level is Desolate Lighthouse.
boxes are selling for 380SGD here.
lulz! that's equivalent to about 360$ cad.
that's crazy!
Sleight of Hand reprint will bring down the foil price on that one.
This set is going to tank a number of foils I’ve been trying to unload on Pucatrade.
Edit: On the other hand, no Rhystic Study. Which works for me because I found about a dozen of them in a bulk box recently!
I was most saddened by no Gemstone Mine. I thought that had long since reached reprint-required status.
Not much more to see but I'm sorta satisfied *shrugs*
An enigma as vexing as life itself.
I'm kinda saddend that there's no Oubliette in here.

Well, I guess this means cancelling my preorders. Thanks for sparing my wallet again, WotC! You're the gift that keeps on giving!
Thanks to DNC from Heroes of the Plane Studios for the sig
Check my Pauper Cube!
It has been crunched out when Flagstones was spoiled. Both Gemstone Mine and Gemstone Caverns need a reprint
Yeah I noticed that as well. Auras-matter in draft looks viable.
Once Heroic was in I kinda expected Fabled Hero as an uncommon downshift. But I'll take this Hero instead.
Real shame indeed.

I got 3 boxes for $250 each, so....
Bolt and Push are other great cards to reprint.
Super happy about Songs of the Damned though!
