welp atleast at long last we get a rhystic studdy reprint
Yeah but from amongst 1,694 cards with whatever rarity they've figured out what good does it do? There are 14 slots with their own sheet and each sheet is 121 cards. Nevermind the 15th slot has its own sheet completely outside of the full set. (I have a feeling WotC has never looked up the definition of, "set.") The E.V. should be interesting on these.
This is true, but then people need to not make the argument that the "only expensive because of scarcity" cards will tank in value due to this set. There are not nearly enough of these boosters, and the cards are being so rare, for bloom tender so suddenly be a sub-$10 card just because it is one out of 2 thousand cards here.
we have no idea how many there will be. the convention ones, sure they will be limited, but the LGS ones may have a pretty good supply. it will take a LOT of packs to do anything to card prices just because it's 3x as many cards as in an actual not total BS set, but if we look at it as a rare basically being as rare as a Standard mythic, I would bet there are still more copies of Oko that have been cracked and put on the market at least once than bloom Tenders. some of these sets it's really doesn't take an absurd number of copies.....I just wish it had been a normal 3-400 card set so one Mana Crypt didn't come with a pallet of pack waste

Okay, so a handful of hits, I do hope it is popular enough with the draft crowd for prices to drop, definitely a couple things I want......but with more than 3x the number of cards in a Standard set, it feels like the home of the hoarder where they are having a heart attack and they die because paramedics can't find them among the piles of stuff. I hope drafters love it and open LOTS of packs, but this is the easiest 'not touching a pack' for me since Dragon's Maze

Sub-$4 format All Stars like Thran Dynamo, Lightning Bolt, Lightning Helix, Rune-scarred Demon, Skullclamp...
That’s “meh”? Seriously, get better at evaluating, you’re terrible at it.
Other then fetches, what more kind of things are people looking for in a reprint set? And the list I compiled was with about 400 cards spoiled, with anywhere from 600 to 1600 more cards to come.
He said boring, not bad. There looks to be some good stuff (although at 2000 cards, every rare is basically a mythic, and a mythic is basically a Masterpiece in terms of how many packs need to be cracked for a specific one). I don't care about the test cards either way, but it was neat that they had a gimmick. It's not great for the first card we saw on stream to be something we can't get at the LGS. It still looks decent.
As far as prices, you know those won't age well. There are certainly some excellent picks, and a lot of things I will be glad to see reprinted, but of the cards you listed, there are quite a few that are expensive because of scarcity, not play. They are welcome sights for EDH players, but like Defense of the Heart and Bloom Tender would not break $5 if as many copies as a rare in just one core set existed in the world

Wait til we start seeing copies of Mana Crypt with one of the test-card stickers over it. Peel it off and rip the face off the Crypt.... peel it and leave sticky residue behind.... ultimate bad customer feedback there LOL
I could be wrong, but I was told that the test print thing is actually part of the print, not a sticker. Like on the last Un-set, they did stuff that looked like it was not part of it.
Otoh, as long as it is tournament legal, I'm good with a REAL cheap Crypt with some sticker damage

yeah, aside from the test card, these look WORSE than Ebay repacks, is that even possible? I am curious to get an article and see what the heck is going on. it sorta looks like the entire article will be 'gotcha! omg you idiots PAID for that! I can't believe that worked!'
