"Treated as a normal set, but twice as expensive. Why? Well...just because. Trust me, we had to hold ourselves back from charging 12$ because we know you're going to pay up no matter what!" - Business 101
It'll only be worth it if Fechlands and shocklands are in the set.
there wont be fetchlands or shocklands if i remember right. its 50 reprints of non modern legal cards, so since they are already legal, you wont see them there. the question is, will the set have enough cards for current or probably new arch types to make it relevant, in that case the set might sell pretty well.
from a business point of view i can understand wizards, why they charge more for the "kind of same" product when people are not even hesitating to buy it. if your customer is a monkey, give them bananas and there are happy.
from a moral point of view ofc, i dont like this strategy and this makes me as a customer thinking about quitting the game, but guess that makes me a customer they dont want anyways. but if that is healthy for the community in a long run? only future will tell.
considering the power play they did with war of the sparks, i think we can pretty much expect the same for modern horizons. so i guess the set will sell well. modern became more and more a premium format anyways.
where did that piece of information come from? I know they said there will be reprints of non-modern legal cards to make them modern legal, but never an exact number

I would like too to know this. Commander sets are usually always around that number, but sets like Battlebond showed us that they are willing to print even 80+ new cards in Supplemental Sets. And if they are following the usual rules (numbering the new cards first then the reprints), Cabal Therapist with a collector number of 80/254 actually proves that we are in the Battlebond -if not even more- density of new cards.
We are more likely to see repaired version of previous legends that were stinky in gameplay

Well it is not impossible the other walker art (the human with white hair inside a tree armor thing)(I guess) could be the grandmother in its walkers days, it fills technically the “new walker” spot and is a trow back on a storyline Serra took a part.

parc2 asked: is it possible for multiple creatures to hold a spark? such that we might see a saproling swarm as a planeswalker? (flavor wise, it'd probably be similar to the tetravus abilities with an ult)....if not, how about as squirrels in an un set?
It is theoretically possible.
Planeswalking Sliver hive? It would fit as a new "character" while meeting a popular request and being resonant enough to stand without any further introduction.
Of course, there is still the distinct possibility that Maro just misunderstood the question.

Even if MaRo was right, that answer means exactly what it means : that is just theoretically possible. Not that will be in the set or we'll see it soon or see it at all only because is possible. You are overreading this.

That's exactly why I am posting it here, as another possibility that fits the bill, nothing more.
