FTV art, but having owned two of the FTV: Exiled's, I can confirm it looks good in foil.

I'm sticking with my german Nekropotenz from Ice Age though.

Great art so far. I even like the Daze art, the only problem is it doesn't belong on Daze.

So that when it's unbanned in modern it doesn't become the next 15 dollar uncommon?

Because pack finances, history, power level?

TCC posted Charbelcher with new art. Phone posting so I can't screen cap it. That's the first modern legal card.

So far all these spoilers seem good.

Necropotence it's a very iconic and unique card, it seems like a reasonable mythic. But I guess we're going to have nothing but "drat why was this cheap card printed at Mythic? They should all be value!" and "Why was this expensive card printed at mythic? It needed to be at a lower rarity!" posts for the next 2 months anyway

I don't see any card in this set that is going to be over 30 bucks yet... Not worth the pack prices if you ask me. Never mind Jace will be over 30.

I never understood this. It's gonna be a card you don't want if you're into ~cracking $$$$ packs~ anyway so it doesn't really matter if it's mythic or rare. They could've printed it at rare and it would be the same thing when you open it lol.

Belcher Art, the only art upgrade (so far).

Is giving SCG an "exclusive JTMS preview" on reprint sets some kind of wotc joke?

Port was a part of the initial Reddit prediction that turned out to be correct for fow and wasteland right? Should be ok.

(It won't be in the set.)

I'd be surprised by Karakas. Waste is already there, Port almost has to be there considering it's the most expensive card in MTGO by far, and I don't think they'd want to spend too many rare slots on lands.
