Wow. Just tried to order the bundle and the website says: "CONGRATULATIONS! Your order is completed but at least one item doesn't have enough stock. You will be contacted to your email separately."
WHAT THE ACTUAL F*** I thought the ENTIRE POINT of these was that they were printed to order. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER WIZARDS!!
They’ve said multiple times, they print X number PRIOR to the sale occurring, for near-immediate shipping, then if sales EXCEED X, they print Y more copies AS NEEDED. Relax, and understand the process.
Hey, it would be a lot easier to "relax and understand the process" if they were clear about the process. That message is ambiguous and concerning to any reasonable person, and I shouldn't have to scour the Internet for wherever else they've supposedly explained this. They have a history of messing up exclusive releases, and my reaction is not unreasonable.

I think the Vigilance is the white ability. The card draw when you cast a creature is green, and the bounce is blue. This is how they make the card really feel like it belongs in all three colors.
The Iona ban is absolutely ridiculous. She's so innocuous I was laughing when I read the announcement. I still think Paradox Engine is fine and shouldn't be banned, but at least that card *was* legit broken if you're that kind of player. Banning Iona is just a sign to me that the rules committee has completely lost touch.
One vote of no confidence from me. I think Wizards should take the reins and come up with a ban list that makes at least a *little* bit of sense.
The most ban-worthy green fatty in the format right now is Craterhoof Behemoth, and many people have started just cutting him (?) from their own decks because he's a boring win con. Frankly, in my Selvala, Heart of the Wilds deck, Terastodon isn't even close to the most powerful creature. If your meta has lots of decks that abuse blinking and bouncing for etb effects, then y'all need to adjust your decks to deal with that strategy. That's part of what makes magic fun, adjusting to your metagame. If everything that gets annoying is just house-banned, you're missing a big part of what makes this game interesting, in my opinion.
I’m sorry, but like, did blue really need this? It would be a format staple if they’d made it white and called it like “Loyal Squire” or “Loyal Vanguard,” and it feels so wasted on blue which probably barely even plays it compared to other card advantage options. Ugh. I mean it’s cool and stuff but ugh.
I can't say this enough. Turnabout is one of the most under played cards in the format. It leads to huge blowout turns and has all sorts of other uses in a pinch.
Oh I'm not confirming it, just seems to work out in my mind because they never seem to reuse the Invitational art on these. And speculation with enough weight could indeed affect prices.
That is absolutely not Teferi, given how badly that clashes with his aesthetic. (Although he was quite the troublemaker back in the day!) Almost assuredly not Meddling Mage either, since the color palate indicates it's definitely mono-U. The artists are actually given pretty specific instructions about aligning their palate with the colors of the card. Voidmage Prodigy is a possibility, but... is that really going to be the poster-child for a MM release? Doubtful.
It's not guaranteed to be Snaps, but I'd say it's the best bet by far.

Voidmage Prodigy is not legal in Modern
