I heard about innistrad. Maybe there is a chance to reprint snapcaster mage and liliana of the veil. I wanted to buy a playset of both, now i will wait till april. Good news during halloween :
I really can't see a Snapcaster reprint since Jace will still be legal in Standard when this set comes out. Blue would end up being ridiculous.

I really can't see a Snapcaster reprint in ANY standard-legal environment, full stop. Lili though, that nearly happened in M15 so there's no reason to think we won't see her along with Sorin and Avacyn-as-Nahiri.

The current plan is about half the time we visit new worlds and about half the time we revisit old worlds. Theros and Tarkir were new. Zendikar and Innistrad are returns. We have plenty of new *and* returning worlds in the pipeline.
As much as I hope DFC come back they are in no way guaranteed. Last we saw the werefolks they were single faced Wolfir. I'd love my legendary Werewolf though.
This is a nice surprise, though I really would've liked a return to Mirrodin first. I wasn't expecting this for another year or two. Maybe I can finally finish my werewolf deck...
I wonder if they've started to figure out how to use double-faced cards more often.
We know from Origins that they can get the distribution right without having exactly one in every pack, but doing it across all rarities might still be tricky. I'm very curious to see how their new technology and sorting methods inform the set design.

Snapcaster and Liliana are 99.999% guaranteed in the next Modern Masters. I can possibly see Lil back in the next INN...maybe...but Snappy doesn't stand a chance in you know where of ever seeing the light of day in any standard set ever again.
Well let's hope so, considering it's the best plane of all IMO. At least next to pre-ROE Zendikar.
Which brings me to my next point. I'm surprised not only to see Return to Innistrad so relatively soon, but back-to-back with another return plane. I expected a new world featuring the next of Lilliana's demons and her going there. Regardless, Innistrad is much loved and admired, it was the plane and set that finally convinced me to jump ship on YGO and play MTG (for which I will always appreciate it) and was overall amazing.
My only concern is that like BFZ, it will fall considerably short of the original and leave a bad vibe for one of the most loved worlds.
Potential new Tamiyo and Jenrik printing?
Trailer makes me nervous. I hope Avacyn is alright... she's one of my favorite characters. When we last saw Innistrad it was a happy ending, in MTG terms.
The only thing that will hook me with this set is finally MALE Angels. (p.s. DO NOT hound me with "MTG Angels will always be male bullcrap" auto answer)
All else, with the messy Returns in Ravnica and Zendikar, I'm PRAYER-CIRCLING and turning on a VIGILANT EYE on what they're gonna possibly ruin and retcon in the Vorthos side of things.

I'm going to do my best to not get my hopes up for this.
Unlike Zendikar I actually have a strong bias in favor of Innistrad but with BFZ in the rear view mirror it feels decidedly unlikely they're going to give Innistrad anything close to the power it had - it would just mean exacerbating the current issues with BFZ. Nor is it particularly likely we'll get the reprints we need this time around either.
Now that I think about it, I'm actually just depressed.
My thoughts exactly.
Unless the set ends up like Theros into Khans with Theros weaker and Khanns fairly strong. My only hope is I can't see how the set could be any worse than RtZ... unless they put in Snapcaster Mage and Liliana of the Veil as Expedition level shase rares!
For those of you who are worried about a disappointing Return to Innistrad, here's what you should do. Make a list of things you like about the original Innistrad and decide what the chances are that they will accomplish that.
If people had done this with Zendikar, I think people would have been less disappointed. If you liked Innistrad because you like Snapcaster Mage and LotV, then you should probably prepare to be disappointed. If you like the draft format, you probably have a lot to look forward to. If you liked the flavor, you probably also have a lot to look forward to.
Is there a reason why we haven't returned to Dominaria? I really need to go back to our main kingdom here. I do love that we are going back to Innistrad, but worried about how Wizards will handle this set, considering how poorly BFZ has been handled.
The foreshadowing was strong in the discussion between Jace and Ugin. If it was not for the back to back revisiting and people's argues that this won't happen i would be much more firm about this return.
All aboard the hype-train!
Get ready because for the next six months rumors will come back and forth about Tilbalt being RB and playable. One for sure, the latter won't be true!xD!
So my question is, what do the development codenames have to do for these sets overall? Like are they randomly picked out of a hat, or do they have some sort of significance to the set's theme or plotline as a whole?
The reason I ask is because if we look back to development, Shadows in the third set in the "Blood, Sweat, Tears, Fears" group (Blood = BFZ, Oath = Sweat). To me that signifies that the events going on Innistrad somehow relate back to Zendikar, given how the sets line up with the idiom.

What I want to see is a legendary werewolf, maybe Tovolar could get a card?

Give me a two mana zombie lord, and the rest of the set can be draft chaff for all I care.
The Vorthos community will await the consequences of the Eldrazi Titans' deaths/sealing. We will keep the watch.
