I find the list for Iconic Masters to be a pretty big let down, so I have no idea what 'will' be in Masters 25, but one something I think certainly should be are the allied-colour creature lands. They've never been reprinted, so I'd say it's definitely time.
Imperial Recruiter is my pick for the set's money mythic a la Mana Drain, Force of Will, or Tarmogoyf. Rishadan Port could really use a reprint as well.

Those are pretty good options as well. Def. Rishadan Port.
Recruiter would be a sweet print, it would make me have to get one, because of the price drop. The man-lands seem like a strong cycle to be printed again; I'd personally like the filter lands better, but both are good enough in my mind.

They really wasted an opportunity in Iconic Masters by printing the Future Sight cycle instead of the filter lands IMO.

Dude I agree, I also think that down shifting Sanguine Bond and up shifting Curse of Predation seems like a mistake. They could have gotten away with printing the Wonder cycle of creatures as a cycle because they only printed 2 of the 5 in EMA (Mainly because EDH weirdos like me want better looking foil angers). Ditto for random commander stuff like Myriad Landscape and Unstable Obelisk at uncommon. Oh well dare to dream I guess.
1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
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!
I agree with some of the suggestions here. I would personally like to see the following because I would actually like to have them in my collection and use them in some Legacy and Modern decks.

My guess is the power 9 with a masterpiece printing treatment but not with an MTG backing. It will only be usable in draft and then afterwards serve the same functionality as the Collector's Edition. It will have the same pull chance as a masterpiece, or about 1-2 per case.

i don't think printing non-legal power 9 cards is really going to make anybody happy. that's like giving your daughter a radioactive pony. yes you got her a pony...but she can't ride it...and you still have to feed and take care of the stupid thing. it would simultaneously frighten people who like the reserve list and also fail to increase the supply of usable cards.
as always i'm hoping they'll reprint doubling season.
If Masters 25 ends up being another disaster like Iconic Masters was then you can expect more people to permanently leave Magic. Remember back in the day when everyone thought Chronicles was going to kill Magic? Look where we are now. The climate isn't the same as it was back then, sure the game ebbs and flows but this time Wizards of the Coast / Hasbro might not be so lucky this time around. Magic's 25th Anniversary could end up becoming the games' very own swan song (no pun intended) unless Wizards of the Coast starts giving a damn and change course before it's too late.

Printing anything like power 9 or the true dual lands would be epic to see in foil but first off would make all the big money players who are sitting on those cards freak out plus the ev of the boxes would be so stupid if you pulled one that every box would be selling for like $1000. It would literally break magic as we know it
The only thing that would be even remotely ok would be like a ftv power 9 or a ftv dual lands type of product and they would go for so much money none of us would be able to buy it anyways lol
And now that I think about it, I believe after mox diamond they said they wouldn't do it even in a ftv anymore....

people love to say stuff like this. iconic masters wasn't a homerun but it has good value, some much needed reprints, and a decent limited format. people love to act like they understand magic business better than wotc but that's legitimately almost never the case. if you see wotc doing something that doesn't make sense to you it's likely because you don't have a deep enough understanding of their business model. just because iconic masters wasn't a hit with you doesn't mean it wasn't a successful product.

(Yes I am aware mm3 may be too close to this.)
Other than Survival being on the Reserve List and including both *** and Damnation (I think just one is fine and *** seems to fit better), I agree with this list. All of these cards are great for this product and I think they should be able to find room for most of them.
Demonic Tutor is my safest bet on being included in this set.
