i think that rats are secretly one of the more playable tribes that people don't tend to think about, even if they haven't printed such obvious cards as rat with a balloon, or simply "rats."

the fact that the card "rats" doesn't exist says something about wotc. something terrible.

also pauper and rats talk made me think, is there a more demoralizing card to see hit the board than chittering rats? it doesn't even kill you quickly, and there's a really good chance you're going to see that same loving chittering rats hit you again..

No it wont. Best case is that you can crack one in a pack and afford 2 normal ones. Hence making it more lottery esque

Some of the Racecars will probably have Expeditions as well.

But expeditions have nothing to do do with needed reprints. It increases the lottery ticket aspect of magic. Especially if most of them can hold value over 30 bucks until Aether Revolt.

In this set Maro specifically says there's only 5 cards in Kaladesh Inventions that are in Kaladesh, so its just the Gearhulk cycle.

Notably powerful rats:

Crypt Rats
Ravenous Rats
Chittering Rats
Relentless Rats
Pack Rat (no s at the end, shameful naming)
Rotting Rats
Ink-Eyes
Nezumi Graverobber
Nezumi Shortfang
Okiba-Gang Shinobi

plus some limited powerhouses like the deathtouch rats and some of the other ninjas. Your story checks out. Can we get a FTV: Rats, WotC?

I mean, even in Oath of the Gatewatch, they started printing lands that really weren't that playable in anything or fringe-playable. I would fully expect it to be like 2 or 3 chase premium cards and a bunch that aren't worth a ton, they just give you a little extra value.

It just seems like a cool thing you can open which I'm fine with.

So it needs to be old, not reserved list, and drive the price down in an extremely low printing.

That's literally 0 cards.

Nah, Trading Post will be an amazing Masterpiece reprint only if they also have a Masterpiece Goat token to go with it. Otherwise - no sell!

The only bad thing about Masterpieces is that I will never open any because I play Limited maybe once a year. I do make sure I open a one pack per set just to say I did but lol good luck there.

If they're going to be in each block going forward though that plays into my weird obsession with "plane-shifted" reprints so I am extremely down in that regard.

If you crew a vehicle, it'll become a creature and become unequipped. Not that that's a dealbreaker, but it does make it finicky.
