Daybreak Coronet in MM2015 at rare.
I can't help but see a cat in a scarf before I notice the coronet.
Ajani be like, "This scarf is bitchin'" (Although I guess it's actually Brimaz in the art, isn't it?)

I guess so lol. I looked at Brimaz's old art and he doesn't have a scarf. Guess he got more fashionable over the time away from Theros.

I didn't actually read the articles all the way through yet.
What I gathered was that BG's theme is "sacrifice for value" (which also means tokens) and that's UW's theme is Metalcraft (similar to MM's UW Affinity deck).
Hm.. Does this see play in modern? Not going to be very happy to pull this in my $10 boosters.

Wonder if they mix and match. A few Titans, a few Praetors? What other big mythic cycle could they mix in?
The other Titans (and Wurmcoil) were in recent Commander sets, so I'd be pretty surprised if any of them show up.
Ugh.
If that's what they are previewing on the first day I'm kind of worried.
it listed Splinter Twin as Mythic so it was known as false for while already.
Are you new to this lol
New to modern masters when I could get them for half the price? No. New to $10 boosters? I'd say most people are. I'd half expect to see rares that are actually played in modern eh?
I'll bet. But you didn't pay $10 a booster for RoE when it was being drafted, either.
This is not unreasonable. Commons and uncommons, fine. But unplayable rares? Fuck that shit.
They can be great in limited
I hope the unplayable rares tank the price of this set. For booster prices that expensive, yes Wizards, I expect nothing less than chase rares. Especially if vendors are looking to price gouge - which they are and will.
While Magmaw is a joke you can bet I'll pull a few Enreks. A 25 cent rare in a $10 pack!

And I was getting so pumped for all these bulk rares!
I think it would be reasonable to see Endrek if it wasn't just reprinted in commander 2013.
Guys, there are going to be a ton of cards in this set that aren't modern playable at all rarities. You cannot have a functional limited format with nothing but constructed level cards unless you make it like cube and just make every card the same rarity and make packs just have 15 random cards.
I'm guessing that just like MM1, there will also be reprints for the EDH crowd, like Doubling Season, Woodfall Primus, Adarkar Valkyrie and Divinity of Pride in Modern Masters 1
Something I noticed in Maro's article
This probably means no cards with Infect are in, which most importantly means that Inkmoth Nexus isn't getting reprinted

Modern is not a limited format.

Modern Masters 1 had all sorts of "junk" rares too. Heck, they actually upgraded Auriok Salvagers from uncommon to rare. If you thought every single rare was going to be a money rare, you were kidding yourself.
Nope, but the 10,000 player GP Vegas, the 4,000 player GP Chiba, and the 5,000 player GP Utrech are all MM2015 limited tournaments.
MMA draft on MTGO is.
It was a bit ignorant to ask for just playable modern rares, I realize it has a dual purpose for refreshing modern supply as well as draft, but I would have at the very least expected rares that didn't recently get a reprint.

Preview of the Modern Masters 2016 Booster packaging:
LOL my lgs raised pre-orders of MM2015 to $280. What a fucking joke.

All of that list was wrong.
I'm expected to pay how much to draft this?

I loved Endrek Sahr in TS block drafts! Card was rad.
... still dont know why hes in this set though.

Because apparently Phyrexian Plaguelord was annoying as fuck.
MMA's draft philosophy was that each two color pair had a viable strategy you could go for. It seems that its the same here - B/G is a token, sac outlet strategy of some kind in MM2015.

oh good it's the time where we whine about janky rares because we've apparently never seen a magic set before
I don't think there needs to be some dumb cycle here. The factors that push for that sort of thing in Standard-legal sets aren't really in play here. It's more likely that they just populated mythic with individual random cards that fit instead of trying to force a specific visible cycle out of unrelated parts.
Inkmoth Nexus is actually the one card I wouldn't explicitly rule out based on that, since it's a rare and it's still potentially interesting in limited even without a dedicated infect strategy.

We've never seen 10 dollar packs, either. That said, I don't have an expectation that there will be no jank, that doesn't make any sense in terms of the way MTG is branded and sold. If there was no jank at all, nobody would get any of the cards since the retailers would open the product and sell the singles.
I would be a little surprised to see Inkmoth, but not super-duper surprised. It feels like a card you'd just rare-draft and not necessarily have any wonderful reason to play.

They could at least exercise some market research and some creativity when filling out the jank spots. Fill a niche. Give people a tribe they like. Reprint something that enables a tier 3 modern deck. Bring back a beloved archetype.
Don't give players paying 10 bucks a pack a piece of shit rare that was just reprinted. Still, it's basically the one misstep so far. The value right now is looking to be way above what MM1 was, I think. Because fuck those stupid Kami-Dragons.

The rares I want/need reprinted outside of Damnation (which is exceedingly unlikely) are less than $2 (Shadowmage Infiltrator, Mystic Snake and Call of the Herd), so I don't mind MM15 low value rares. I would mind Magmaw because wtf.
I'm really looking forward to the uncommons since I desperately need Avalanche Riders, Gemstone Mine and Mana Tithe.

B/G being a token strategy doesn't mean Bitterblossom is being reprinted, obviously not guys <_< >_>
