This thread is full of idiots... Lightning Bolt is NOT being reprinted.
Many times has a writer in Wizards said so, because of the plain and simple fact that it's too powerful for what it costs. x/3 creatures shouldn't be able to die at instant speed for one mana without a signifigant drawback. (like PTE giving you a land)
I absolutely guarantee that LB will not be printed in M10, and you can quote me on that.
Okay I was really feeling like people were jumping the gun but this is basically just another Commander set. Nobody is going to cast Genesis in Modern competitively and its looking like most of the rare slots are for that or limited. Boring.

I need to say that people wanted genesis in modern. And it also has narrow uses like getting back etb creatures, on temur death shadow they can use it to bring the shadows back, etc.
not the best but it is cool to see it again.

I personally feel a lot of these "specialty" sets are like this. Don't get me wrong, I like Commander and I'm still getting a box of this set, but when I see some new card and think "Oh, that's a cool Commander card" instead of "Wow, that's going to be a solid Modern card" in a set devoted to Modern, it's a little disappointing.

You think they really can print a 254 card set where every rare is playable in modern?

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.

About this set being a commander set: every set is a commander set, commander and its variants are the most played format and the primary reason for most card price spike.
Meh I still prefer the original Mark Zug artwork, nothing against Alayna Danner though. Glad it finally got reprinted so that I might be able to run a copy in my Nissa, Vastwood Seer EDH / Commander deck. I've always wanted the card to be more playable though unfortunately Eternal Witness does the job a whole lot better. Genesis was only reprinted due to having a very low print run with the Judgment version and Judge Foil being a lot harder to come by nowadays. Same thing happened with Rishadan Port in Mercadian Masques until it was reprinted in Masters 25.

Of course, they CAN. they CAN print anything they want. they can print a set where every card is pushed. they can abolish the reserved list and print a set where every pack has Power 9 if they want. It costs the same to print Jace, the Mindsculptor as it does Giant Spider.
The relevant question would be "WILL they?" (and I believe we all know the answer is "nope.")

They could actually try, instead of making "Nostalgia Horizons, with 70% of the Power of Legacy Staples."
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Genesis is reprinted !

This is one of my favorite cards, and I need so many of them for my decks. Hopefully the price will drop a bit and I can nab up a few.
