I'm gonna guess that the list will be something like this:Glacial Chasm Reliquary Tower Miren, the Moaning Well Eye of Ugin Academy Ruins City of Brass Thawing Glaciers Rishadan Port Vesuva Cabal Coffers Kor Haven Temple of the False God Command Tower Boseiju, Who Shelters All *Preview Land 14 assorted lands that they will reprint plus one "preview" land of the next set that are NOT on the reserve list (this means no Serra Sanctum, Gaea's Cradle, Tolarian Academy, etc.) and aren't banned in Legacy or Commander. It has some combination of uncommons and rares and has many casual favorites that will appeal to a broad base of players.

They are very fun. I feel like your not trapped into any one color combination. You can almost throw any two colors together respectively and have a good deck. Lots of stong cards in the packs, rarely see a pack with less than 8-9 playables.

1) Wasteland or Rishadan Port 2) Dark Depths 3) Mutavault, or Blinkmoth Nexus, or Inkmoth Nexus 4) Academy Ruins 5) Ancient Tomb 6) Boseiju, Who Shelters All 7) City of Brass 8) Cabal Coffers or Crypt of Agadeem 9) Contested War Zone (Sadly I actually see this being in) 10) Crystal Quarry 11) Deserted Temple 12) Cloudpost or Glimmerpost 13) Dust Bowl 14) Emeria, the Sky Ruin 15) Forbidden Orchard Is about what I expect, with the possibility of Urza Tron replacing 3 cards...

You forgot to leave a slot open for the preview card.

The only one that didn't have one was exiled - it isn't possible to preview a card from magic's past. Aside from exiled, show me a FTV that didn't have a preview card. I think it is safe to say that there is a preview card and always will be 1.

Except, and correct me if I'm wrong, they have always announce there would be one, this one mentions nothing of a Spoiler...what so ever..... I may still be wrong and WoTC simply forgot to say something, but listed as it is suggests no Preview card this time. __________________ I shall have the souls of all who defy me. "Lord Crovax"

As for FTV:Realms, meh, we will see what happens. Legends was a bummer, so I think they will make up for it with this one. I almost see no way that Ancient Tomb is not in the set.

After checking, it turns out you are correct. Good eye!

Agreed on all points... Also I think one of the colorless rare Manlands is a shoe in, either Blinkmoth, Inkmoth or Vault, I also think either Wasteland, Port, or Maze for the money card...as those seem to be the big 3 value wise.

Pretty sure it will be Factory with the new art from the Dual decks, but in foil. Like Sol RingI wouldn't be surprised to see Karakas as the money card since its a big EDH card.

Karakas is banned in EDH. I was thinking Maze because its so widely used in EDH.

I'm hoping for Factory along side Blinkmoth now...that would be amazing...

Kinda sucks when you go through 1000's of cards to sell someone commons and uncommons only to have the person tell you afterwards they're not interested.

Yeah, doing this kind of stuff really isn't worth the time. I look through boxes to pull out worthwhile U/Cs and organize them to sell at a later point in time, but I don't dig through boxes to find specific U/Cs to sell people anymore.

Thats why I don't do it even though I often have the cards. The cards are worth nickels or something, but it takes quite a while to find this stuff. Even if I make a sale I spent way too much time.

It was a lot of bulk I would have liked to get rid of and get some spending money in my PayPal account, but like suggested, I'll never do it again.

I had an interesting triple DKA draft last night on MTGO.This is what I drafted: 3x Chant of the Skifsang 2x Chill of Foreboding 2x Increasing Confusion 2x Thought Scour 1x Divination 4x Screeching Skaab 4x Headless Skaab 2x Nephalia Seakite 1x Shriekgeist 1x Altar of the Lost 18x Island In the final round, I faced against a G/W aggro deck, and milled him out on turn 6 in game 1. He then shoved all his green and white spells into his deck, and boosted it up to 60 cards for game 2. He ended up drawing a lot of irrelevant cards that he shoved into his deck, while I took him down to 2 with my Skaabs. I ended up milling him out anyway with double Increasing Confusion for the LOL factor, and he wasn't pleased. Then this chat follows: [G/W Player:] (4 letter words)! You have 2 of those? You are a bad player. You are just lucky! [me:] Maybe you should draft better? [G/W Player:] How can I draft any better? I DRAFTED 3 Predator Ooze!!! You know you are not good, just lucky!!! [me:] Awww...you are so cute when you are angry, lol. [G/W Player:] I AM NOT ANGRY! (left the game) Gotta love the internet.

So you are lucky for drafting 2 of a good rare, but he is skillful for getting 3 of different good rare? He is clearly a reasonable person.
