We knew that there would be a cycle at lower rarity for limited purpose (Like the Vivid lands in MM1), but with 15 lands in the set I was hoping that there would be a 5 card Rare cycle with the 5 card Common/Uncommon cycle. We now just have 1 land in the set unspoiled, and it's probably Evolving Wilds

I had a dream that Tendo Ice Bridge was going to get reprinted at Uncommon; not only is that clearly not happening with 10 uncommon lands spoiled now, but it doesn't even fit the naming crunch.

it's a worse legendary Vivid land, could definitely be uncommon.
I really wanted modern frame non-foil Gemstone Mine
Figure maybe the Filterlands end up in Origins?
They aren't doing Hybrid in a core set.
They can do the allied ones in one set and the enemy fetchlands in the other set next block.
I think that's very unlikely, at least having 2 reprints like that back to back.
With core sets going away I think we'll more reprints in expansion sets over all, even high-profile ones.
That said, the manlands have generic enough names that they can be reprinted in just about any set. There's also the chance that we see them in Origins.
I hope we find these cards in MM2:
Vengevine @ Rare
Electrolyze
Lightning Helix
Path to Exile
Spell Snare
Distortion Strike
Spell Pierce
Vines of Vastwood
Vengevine is the only one where I feel I'm reaching. It would be nice, though, it's rather expensive for a card that's only used in a barely Tier 2 Modern deck.

wtf
Well they don't require you to include hybrid cards in the set but ok.
Might be because it's really, really, really useful in EDH Voltron decks.

Two-card combo kill with Lord of Tresserhorn!

I would love Call of the Herd at uncommon. Green needs more 2-for-1s in my cube.

Is there a slot for Terastodon? Could be that.
Elesh Norn is great since I need one.
Yep, could be that too. still room left. I hope it isn't though, it's been reprinted so many times already.

Golem token? Will we see Blade Splicer?
Which means I'm bound to pull 3 in one box.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Except Comet Storm. Why?
Every Mythic is at least $15. Except Comet Storm, that's $1.
I don't get why they *have* to have a red Mythic. Just print Batterskull. Red players coulda played it.

Because red Mythics in general are crap.
They don't have to be. They just refuse to push red. Like, ever.
But hey, at least Goblin Guide isn't a mythic. But it would be better than Comet Storm.

20 minute Magic video on Vice is up.

They seem to be changing the title of the video/URL to something else, so just go to the main Vice webpage if the link doesn't work

Was that a Mox Sapphire loose in a box??!!?

There was at least an unsleeved beta Volcanic Island being played with.
God that would have been a good one. Too bad you're probably right about it being too new.
Why are red mythics so hard to make? Every other color gets pushed. Why not red? Fuck Goblin Guide. Fuck Zurgo. Let's get something like this:
Child of Lightning (R)
Creature - Elemental
Haste
Sacrifice Child of Lightning when
you control three or more lands. If
sacrificed this way, Child of
Lightning deals 3 damage to you.
Sometimes lightning does strike twice.
3/3

Or how about a red mythic spell? Something splashy and dangerous. Something a red mage wouldn't be embarrassed by.
Betrayal of the Masses (R)(R)(R)

Split Second
Gain control of all non-land permanents
an opponent controls until the next end
step.
At the beginning of your next upkeep you
lose the game.
Loyalty is as malleable as any metal.

I hate how shit on red is by development. Green had it kind of bad for a while too, but that's really changed in recent times. Red's got it the worst now.

Red and Blue are the most likely to screw the game up royally when you get them wrong.
Alongside Noble Hierarch, this is the card I was most hoping would see a reprint.
Isn't this a symptom of the current ethos of pushing creatures and dialing back spells compared to their relative power levels in the earlier eras of Magic? Green sees a marked improvement because creatures are a greater focus and the spells, removal in particular, in other colors aren't as dominant as they once were. Red on the other hand can't overly push it's primary archetype, Burn, because it doesn't allow boards to develop and isn't a very interactive/fun style to play against.
I'd agree with you, except blue got Delver, so they're not afraid to put efficient creatures in colors that aren't supposed to have them. Even still, Red isn't just Burn, it's aggro as well. They have a lot of space to work with there.

Delver was a fuckup, not a deliberate attempt to push blue creatures.
Yeah they say that about blue stuff all the time, but then blue is the color that gets the push almost always. Yeah yeah, I know, another volume in the "Blue is the favorite" bitch sessions, but the evidence doesn't lie. I'd like to see some "mistakes" in other colors some time.

In semi-recent years? Deathrite Shaman and Stoneforge Mystic come to mind.
EDIT: So apparently Good Gamery was given Quag Sickness as their MM15 preview card; hence why they've been mocking the preview process all week. :lol
