They have done a bit of it for Duel Deck purposes- like make Knight of the Reliquery into a Mythic- but that's about it.
LOL, they upshifted Snapcaster to Mythic
Are you fucking kidding me, WOTC?

Should have at least made him a girl.
Awesome that Split Second got it. I love Jeremy.

This is literally the first time they've made a rare from the mythic era into a mythic in booster products. So naturally we were all expecting them to keep it at rare.
Slow tick down over the last year or so. Probably due to the inevitability of this printing. It'll probably be up to 50-60 in a year or so.

Why does Kibler get a promo card?
I was about to say the same exact thing

What a brutal beating on Kibler.

Hah. Nvm, I take that back. Perfect choice.
And there's your feel bad mythic. Hilarious they gave it to Kibler to preview though.
Pretty much everyone was. This is the first time they've upshifted a Mythic-era Rare in a set like this. Snapcaster isn't exactly busted in Limited so shifting it to Mythic on that reasoning doesn't stand either. It sets an ugly precedent moving forward.
They're $40 because blue isn't seeing a ton of play in Modern and the certainty of a Rare reprint was being baked into the price. Unless this print run is massive, we might see Snapcaster back in that $60+ range in the next year. This also opens up the possibility of upshifting pretty much any rare of real constructed value to Mythic to preserve reprint equity which is pretty gross. Imagine where Noble Hierarch would be if they'd upshifted that.

I called Bonfire. It's less of a feels bad to open then Comet Storm, so that's a plus. Still will make for some swingy ass games in Limited though
Also, fuck that Snapcaster shift, because that's not going to help the price at all. Granted, the theory (that each color gets a high priced Mythic see Goyf/Clique/Norn) makes sense there, but it's still kind of shitty.

I'm pretty sure there is an article somewhere on DailyMTG where they explained why Snapcaster was a Rare and not a Mythic back when it was release

I mostly think it's a little silly that people thought this was off the table. The Masters sets already had rarity as a proxy for new aftermarket supply (like, there's no world where Tarmogoyf is a mythic just purely on its standalone merits) and there was no good reason for them to hamstring themselves on that forever.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The first time it's happened to a card printed at Rare in the Mythic era.
Well I mean, its an asshole move, for lack of a better word. The only other card I'd expect them to do it on is Stoneforge Mystic but for whatever reason it wasn't in EMA.
I mean, Comet Storm was ridiculously swingy too, but Bonfire is even worse.

The RPTQ one has better art than this too, even if its just a random Brazilian soccer player

Didn't it hit $40 Back during the summer? I'd 100% guess it's not in the set and it's going to jump to $50 if Death Shadow Jund remains a thing.
I'm not THAT patrotic, plus it's foil so I'll pass.
And I actually liked the MM3 artwork a lot tbh, so blue.
a rare?
Forsythe's is better watching the full video.
I get a "we just made a big mistake" vibe.
Hasbro is a listed company. They have profitability growth targets to meet. Why else do you think the print runs keep getting bigger every year?
Entreat the Angels if they're going for the mythics.
Liliana is 100% in, they can't do this set based on INN/RTR and not reprint Liliana.
Ah I forgot about that. Would not be a bad pick honestly. Would rather see Avacyn though.

Lili is the one card everyone is 100% certain will be in. If she's not the people will lose their shit because it would be one of the most inexplicable moves WotC would have ever made and they've made quite a few.
