I like that Serra kind of mirrors Ob Nixiles oldwalker card.
Hope the boosters are not expensive if there will be cards people will want for commander and modern
Serra - almost literally a halo card I'll be buying this just for her alone - especially with the Magali Villeneuve art. Magali angels (all right - kinda) are the best angels.
IMO fetches will be reprinted into standard they will have a period of standard where shocks and fetches are both legal that way the shock + fetch combo will be in mtg arena.
Lets not get hung up on "no fetches" instead look at what could be coming
counterspell
lotus petal
true name nemesis
where all mentioned on stream as possible inclusions
This is great place to print long dead characters from mtgs past now that i think of it. Serra is proof of that and i have a feeling they're really trying to sell this on nostalgia.

This is going to be amazing. Gives me something to draft over the summer instead of the core set, AND adds sweet, cheap new stuff to the best eternal format.
No, this is for modern. I mean some cards will work in Legacy too, but this is for Modern, not Legacy. 😉

I don't get why they don't do reprints of allready modern legal cards. This is the perfect place for fetches and bobs etc.
Now i've gone from ecstatic to amused...
Nah don’t want to pay $12+/booster
Fetches shouldn’t make $12. The others maybe. But Khans proves fetches can be in $4 packs.

That, wizards only complain last time they did this was the time games took out of shuffling the decks but they are ok with Nexus in paper magic now...
Fetchs in standard in the next 2 years is a given as Wizards is aware modern is the most popular competitive format and also fetchs are essencial to it.
But guess people like to complain...
Remember, WotC "doesn't acknowledge the secondary market" when designing or pricing its products. We can be skeptical, naturally, but that's their official line on this.
But they do know, and they do respect it's existence.
You're right in that they know it exists and make design decisions on what cards to reprint and when based on it, but OFFICIALLY they can't acknowledge it. It's a very slippery slope from "Okay we pick to reprint certain cards to make them more accessible." to "We acknowledge that pack cracking is functionally the same as buying lootboxes but we aren't governed by the same laws because reason" - reasons that would rather quickly vanish.
Everyone on the inside knows what goes on, but they're not allowed to say it for legal reasons.

I did my part in getting WoTC to adopt a policy for printing format-bypassing cards, specifically eternal format cards that skip the loathsome Standard format.
August 13th 2017 is when I shared this idea, and at the time there was no talk elsewhere on the forums about such a novel concept. I'm glad for all of us! This means everything for the future of Magic.
I brought it up again here too, and my estimation of the situation was essentially correct. Battlebond was the first step to getting where we are today. Congrats everyone, we ALL worked hard for this. YOU get to enjoy the results that hard work now! Thanks to everyone who was fighting for the expansion of format-bypassing cards

Think fetchlamds, tarmogoyf, bob, tiago chan, lili, eldrazis are out (unless boosters are $9+
I just wish she could be my commander
Also, the therapist is a cool throwback to cabal therapy in art and effect.
Love this set allready.

More like it gives you an indestructible Worship !
There is 0 modern legal reprints every card in the new set will be new cards to modern maybe these sort of fetches Flood Plain

So don't reprint cards that are too expensive so we can keep the boosters cheap and watch the expensive cards get even more out of hand?
Sounds like a bad plan.
