Did anyone else notice in MaRo's article that they're announcing all of the Kaladesh masterpieces today? That seems fast.

We have seen literally 4 of the FIFTY loving FOUR (an absolutely insane number IMO) cards that will be in the two sets of the block. I imagine there will be a wide enough demand across all of them to be fine.

Weird artifacts, and especially mana crypts, are almost always 1-of cards that are primarily used in EDH. Æther vials and sensei tops are probably the only 4-of artifact that's costly and even if they're included, there won't be anywhere near as much demand. Lands trump artifact any day.

Off the top of my head: Aether Vial, Chalice, Ensnaring Bridge, Wurmcoil, Sol Ring, Mana Vault, Swords.

Those are either not very expensive or have been recently reprinted with the possible exception of maybe Bridge?

Masterpiece cards are planned for Magic Online, but will not be redeemable and are not counted as part of the set. They're going to be distributed in an exciting new way, but we're not quite ready to announce what that is. Look for that announcement later this month.

Since they are all artifacts I can't really think of any non reserved list staples they i would get overly excited to see reprinted. Very meh.

Arcbound Ravager, Spellskite, Caged Sun come to mind.

kinda sucks how they explicitly said Jitte was on the initial list but got cut cause there was no way they could bend the flavor to fit

I really want Ensnaring Bridge to get one, that's be gorgeous with a Kaladesh art style.

I can't say I'm unhappy that Jitte will never be in the limited format, even though it'd be vanishingly rare.

What precedent does it set, and how is it dangerous?
Unless you're literally saying there's a slippery slope to cards only printed at super rare, in which case lol.

Engineered Explosives is sniffing $50 and can't be reprinted outside of a Masters set or a return to Sunburst (lol), seems like a good one to include. They probably had these picked out before the price on EE spiked though.

Mostly better version of this guy. And Faerie Mechanist was a definite roleplayer in Alara and MM1 drafts.
Also good with vehicles.

It not being an artifact is a pretty big deal because you can't chain copies of it like you could the Mechanist.

Yes, but you get to look at another card and the cost/body is nicer. It's not like there's going to be a lack of artifacts to draft, especially with all the vehicles driving around.
