Man, Scooze is just going all in on this set. Hierarch/Cavern/Vial/Goyf will just be the gravy on top of a good set at this point. They definitely seemed to have learned from MM2, but I can't tell which came first: The strong reprints or the draft environment as an idea.
Hot prediction: We'll get DFCs reprinted in a 2021 Masters Set, because by then we'll have enough valuable Flip cards to reprint( See Huntmaster, Delver, Werewolves as a whole, Meld, and the Origins Walkers if they want)

Damn, what a set. Don't like cracking $10 packs (or really any packs outside of draft) but I'm definitely going to be buying some cheap singles.
Going to be interesting watching the prices of the rares over the next couple months. I wonder which ones will stay above the price of a pack.

Man, MTGFinance is gonna be super hectic in the next couple months. Expect whatever doesn't get a reprint to shoot up. And we still don't know how many boxes of this stuff there is out there. Anyways, I'm glad they learned their lesson with MM2015. And the funny thing is a couple of these cards (Basilisk Collar/Death's Shadow) spiked fairly recently. The set had to be finished at least 9 months ago, and the meta's changed a ton since then. The timing couldn't have been more perfect.

Voice is a $15 card that's too good to be $15
Why no Prime Time?
You gotta figure they'll probably do them as a cycle in a set like this. And most of them are kinda feel bad/valueless for mythics. Probably you're more likely to see him in a Duel Deck than a set like this. I would have said a Commander deck, but you know, bannings.
As much as I'd love Goyf again, Vengevine really needs a reprint.
[EDIT]
[EDIT]
Prime Time was in MM2 and none of the other titans were.

Surprisingly clear reveal
Amonkhet will definitely have a zombie (mummy) subtheme, and thus likely more species class subthemes. So Atlazan?

Ally is technically a class, so BFZ block counts. Before that we had Khans with Warrior. Kaladesh also has a (minor) artificer subtheme. It's not like we get tribal class stuff all that infrequently in recent times.
Personally, i'd actually like to see more warrior stuff in red.

Huh. I totally forgot about that. Egg on my face.

The two most expensive cards in DGM - Voice of Resurgence and Voice of Resurgence token

For the Emmara Tandris reprint of the original version =V

Looking at the cards that exist, the other actually possible cards that could fit at #232 are:
Boseiju, Who Shelters All
Buried Ruin
Cathedral of War
City of Brass
Contested War Zone
That's it, that's the full list of lands that could be in that slot other than Cavern.
EDIT: Also, looks like we really only know half of the rares and 2 total artifacts so stuff like Crucible, Chalice, Explosives, etc. are still very possible.

Nobody knows what the original Emmara was, but it was expected she'd be a big character and splashy mythic because she was an important character in RTR's story arc (meaning she was Jace's arc girlfriend).
Then her card was terrible and the clue we were given was that her original card was busted as fuck and we never figured out why, but VoR was given her token (which is why the token appears in the background of Emmara's card).

Strange. Wasn't it first printed in standard in M14?

Wasn't the issue that if Emmara was Mythic they'd have a broken cycle of Maze Runners, despite Ral replacing IzzetBot 2000 who was created solely for the Cycle to exist?
Like, She was supposed to be Voice's text/rarity(How an Elf is a 5/7 I will never understand), but they wanted to make a cycle and fucked around with both her and Voice until Presto, you've got a Mythic Elemental that has the stats of an Elf and an Elf that has the stats of a Elemental.
Boseiju wouldnt be a bad reprint, it would just be terrible in the face of Cavern's price.

Warriors replacing soldiers in Khans bothered me a whole bunch. Many of the warriors were part of a standing army or garrison, that makes them soldiers.
Super happy about the Blood Moon reprint, needed one badly for EDH. and my dream of fish moon.

My 2nd favorite card in the set so far (after Molten Rain)
Please tell me you are not kidding, I've been eyeing that along with damnation since I started playing!
Holy shit Wizards!!!
... Jesus, they really made it common?
Once Ash Barrens comes out online, blue is getting absurd. I'm ready to start casting brainstorms.
edit: Apparently ash barrens came out and I didn't even notice! Time to brew.
Absolutely. Instead of getting $8-$10 packs and pulling an abrupt decay, just go buy it for like $3-4 lol. Assuming there's no shortage of product, it's much cheaper to just buy what you need. The more good rares they spoil the cheaper everything will be anyways. I'm looking for $30 tarns hopefully.
31 Rares spoiled now, and we only have 4 true whiffs (Seance, Stoic Angel, Firey Justice and Extractor Demon), and a few other whiffs that at least see play somewhere (Deadeye Navigator, Primal Command, Cruel Ultimatum).
I liked the approach they took this time and let a lot of people who wouldn't usually get spoilers have a card. I -Really- liked that they daggered Kibler by giving him Bonfire.

I have a feeling this was mostly luck. Imagine if those cards didn't start seeing play and experience recent spikes. We'd be talking about what misses they are. Luck or not, though, it's awesome.
Yeah, I also like the rapidfire approach they had this time around. I started following spoilers with Aether Revolt and it felt much slower than this.
It has slowed down though today, is that because we are getting the full list tomorrow?
Well, we will get more cards today in 2 hours when DailyMTG posts it's articles, and then a steady drip through the day as people in different time zones start dropping cards. Maro didn't drop his till 4:00pm eastern yesterday, for example
