vial is just so much fun to brew with. it's like having shocklands and fetches; if you want to brew in modern, you should have a playset of vials. it opens up a lot of doors for mono white and mono blue decks.

There's no information on the WPN site about limited supply. I think your store might be hedging given that the singles and core set drafts are usually not as popular. I for one am not excited to draft this set.

Also, what the heck is this? It's the most hard to use "morphling" variant I've ever seen. I honestly can see it showing up as a 1-of in Esper dragons to help protect Ojutai against other control decks, but it definitely can't stand by itself.

- Tap target creature.
- Untap target creature.

Whenever one or more artifact creatures you control deals combat damage to a player, draw a card.

Four mana for something that can't even block before your next turn is "meh" at best. And it is sorcery speed. That isn't something I'd want to run in any standard deck in the past decade, I don't see it running in a deck in any format in the present.

Priest of the Blood Rite

When Priest of the Blood Rite enters the battlefield,
put a 5/5 black Demon creature token with flying onto
the battlefield.

At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 2 life.

What do you mean by IDK, we know the general princples of magic pricing - if it's not a tournament playable; collectible; or just absurdly powerful casual card - odds are its a bulk.

And this particular black card is exactly none of those. (at the moment) there is no standard, modern, legacy, or vintage deck for it; it's only good in Alesha type of deck, it's overall a flavorful card - but neither all that powerful, rare (physical copies), or a high-casual appeal.
