Wasn't there going to be a lord of the rings set with the really old school art coming too?
It’s the same set. The release is 4 of these scene boxes, a new set of jump start packs, and collectors boosters and the bakshi art alternates should be in the collector packs
When you produce 500 jillion products there are bound to be leaks all over the place.
Less product or improve your "bucket" to hold back the leaks.

Which is why I'm stepping away from this for a while. I have to deal with heightened interest rates and other expenses that eat up most of my disposable income. I still follow along but just have no emotional or financial patience to get involved with it at this time.
Love how they're bringing back older mechanics that were considered "retired" like Conspire.

These honestly seem boring, disregarding my utter distaste for UB products, none of these seem the least bit interesting.
The wraith land is like what if Rogue's Passage also stopped your creature(s) from blocking. How do you make something better and worse than an uncommon?

Well, the land has some extra uses:
1) Unlike Rogue's passage, the effect is permanent, so you can make multiple creatures unblockable.
2) You can use it offensively on an opponent's creature (perhaps something with defender) to prevent it from blocking yours.

Shadow has always been a much different beast than just making your creatures unblockable, so I'm glad they're still treating it as such. Being able to permanently stick shadow on any creature at instant speed is pretty wild, though, and has a lot of potential applications. You have to be careful with it, but that's true of the ability as a whole. Beyond that, Minas Morgul obviously pulls a lot of weight in Wraith tribal as a way to make your Hypnotic Specters, etc. - stuff that doesn't pull much weight as blockers anyway - into unblockable threats while also beefing your tribal numbers.
I'd still rate Rogue's Passage as better overall, simply because it's so useful in so many decks and Minas Morgul has the black-mana restriction.

Cheeseburger, french fries, chocolate shake, somebody's mind I's about to take!
You can work around it with cards that great indestructibility and some indestructible lands.
Won't help your lands or enchantments, but you can save all your creatures for 2 mana with a Golgari Charm. Regen got even better after they quit designing boardwipes around it.

It's hilariously ironic to me that with the expensive format of Legacy being my only real interest at the release of every set/expansion/lair/paper they print, I have saved so much money by simply employing this exact philosophy.
"if it's not relevant there, I've no reason to care."
Don't talk too loudly, they might design a Legacy Horizon set just to make sure you have to spend money or be irrelevant. Most people did not want Modern Horizon sets, we only wanted reprint in reasonably priced packs. Oh gee, that was called Modern Master (2013) and everyone loved it, except the tarmogoyf owners.

Literally every set including the one above goes into legacy.

I'm not sure what is the exact percentage, but i just wanna remind that the we people that hate reprint-only sets because they are boring and are always enthusiast at new cards sets, exist also.

They're called standard sets and go straight into modern. The advantage is that they're not full of must-buy over-powered modern mythics. Great to know you're happy with your playsets of ragavan, grief and such.

You are assuming 100% wrong, since not only I don't got any of those cards, but I'm not even that invested of a modern player, I'm an EDH player basically, and I simply said that I always skip reprint only sets and get hyped and excited with sets (standard or supplemental doesn't matter) with new cards in, since any new addition from anywhere is also a new addition legal in my format, nothing more, nothing less (and straight-to-modern cards are especially exciting exactly because of a higher power level compared to standard set cards). Please be able to live a life outside of your personal bias with the illusion that every Magic player in the world must have your same mindset, and stop assuming things, thank you. There's many reasons a player could be excited for a modern horizon set, and this is one of them.
Your reply is exactly as I expected and my aim was directly to trigger it.
These are *modern* sets, a format that gets a minuscule trickle of releases... unlike, say standard (a set every 2-3 months) or hum, gee, oh right EDH which gets new cards and sets every month it seems. Between every set now containing special commander-only cards and new full commander pre-con, which, again, contain multiple brand-new car design in *every* set that comes out...
So, yeah, as a modern player, I feel annoyed that the very few modern-targeted sets should somehow placate EDH players desires. You get stuff *all* *the* *time*, so coming off telling me to get off my bias is quite the disconnected opinion.

It's also nice to see Anduril doing something that isn't so niche as making spirits. This one goes very nicely with him and Arwen.

Since worldslayer blows up your stuff too wouldn't Kaldra Compleat be better?
