Keep the faith alive
We should start sprinkling rumors throughout the internet that this is the abolishment of the reserved list and Iconic Masters will have the P9 in it and the original dual lands.

Seriously though, how amazing would it be to sit down at an event to draft a set you know nothing about and the first pack you crack has a lotus in it?

If they got the old artists to do modern takes on their old art, without the restrictive house art style, I would be really excited. But as it stands, it will likely be all your old favorite cards with new style art so that they are unrecognizable.

However if they did a modern/old border hybrid thing somehow, like timeshifted cards, that would be extremely up my alley.

Prediction: They say gently caress the reserve list for this set and it has P9, dual lands, etc, but it's gold bordered and $10 retail.

not real prediction, but that would be pretty funny

I like how the assumption is that killing the reserved list means they'd immediately reprint the P9 at common or some poo poo and not that the next step would be "Forbidden Masters," with packs that have a $50 MSRP with the P9 as masterpieces

e: Also let's be real, no one gives a poo poo about 95% of the cards on the reserved list. Even poo poo like Juzam Djinn only has value due to age

So either the first 2 years is excluded and no chance of reserved list cards or reserve list cards are there and shitbox standard stuff is not in it.

Probably for the new art. One of the only good things about 7th edition was how it incorporated the 4 paladins into a bunch of stuff and told a little story that way

There's plenty of iconic non-Reserved stuff they can print from the first two years of the game, such as Mana Drain, Demonic Tutor, Karakas, Mishra's Factory, Serendib Efreet, Maze of Ith, Mind Twist, etc

Iconic masters is going to have a bunch of lovely Modern and recent Standard cards that are "iconic" like Generic Big Hydra/Dragon/Angel and Siege Rhino and Baby Jace, is the difference.

In addition to crap like shivan dragon, of course.

Yeah, basically. I mentioned a bunch of powerful stuff, but the first two-year stuff we're likely to get is going to be more like Icy Manipulator

Same except without the Reddit thing. If only so I can show people that their Beta power won't drop a penny even if it is reprinted. And I say this as someone who until recently had a pretty extensive collection of duals and a good start on power.

This is still going to be infinitely better than their 20 year anniversary, which consisted of WotC telling everyone "Hey, it's 20 years of Magic! To celebrate...why don't you guys go and buy a booster. That's it. gently caress off." and we know literally nothing about this, except it's name.

Yeah they added two digits as a check sum, or something. Mine are 20, but I think I can still use the sixer if they can look it up?

Don't even need to look it up, it just works, at least in WER. I too have a six digit number and remember when they tacked digits on to it (twice), but it's never actually mattered, so I dunno why they bothered. Maybe in DCIR you had to do a lookup when they used that, but these days you just type it in like any other number.
