If this turns out to be some funky intro for Conspiracy 3 (like how conspiracy 2 had the Brago fake-out)... I'm honestly not complaining. It really sounds like a hoot and a half... and seems far more likely than randomly reprinting and repackaging other past cards to make a pseudo-cube.
It's apparently only available at MagicFests and other conventions. The two currently announced are MF Richmond and PAX Unplugged.
There is currently no indication whatsoever this will be available to stores.
So if this isn't 100% reprints, I'll be amazed. If it has new cards at all, this will piss off LGSs everywhere. And I think whoever said this was a commander product was wrong, aside from the fact that technically every product is a commander product. But I doubt it's a commander-focused set. The only solid info we know as to the card pool is that none of it is from the Reserve List.
Oh, and based on the event prices for this at MF Richmond, this would appear to be a premium set, too.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
Maro also stated that there will not be a showcase border as this is not a standard-legal set. As such, this could not be the collector booster version of a new set (as three of the card slots are saved for showcase and/or borderless walkers... unless there's three walkers per pack, of course).
Having something special like an all-foil version, however, would be something that wizards has done before. Honestly, I'm sticking with my Conspiracy 3 theory for the moment.

Wait, its missing the token....from Chuck E. Cheese!
"Mystery Booster" naming seems kinda jump-the-sharky. Why not just typify it as a Masters set?
Will wait and see, but I'm more likely to buy the Eldraine special boosters at the moment. Demand in my circle is pretty high at the moment for the alt-arts.

MaRo ponders..."can I poop in a mylar baggie and expect people to buy it? I think I can..."
MaRo designs Standard sets, he doesn't sell anything
I think you missed the point. As far as I can tell, the statement Elostirion(again) made indicates that s/he thinks MaRo is lying about the product's true name.

Suitably mysterious announcement.
RUNIN: Norse mythology set (awaiting further playtesting)
FATE of ALARA: Multicolour factions (currently on hiatus)
Contibutor to the Pyrulea community set
I'm here to tell you that all your set mechanics are bad
#Defundthepolice
I think there’s 5 cards as well that are from this booster I believe (if I’m not mistaking)
For the black one
Varina, Lich Queen, The Scarab God and Inalla, Archmage Ritualist are gonna be Drooling for that one for their decks
Correct.

Hmmmm. I wonder how this will work with everybody sharing everything over the internet. There must be some large eclectic pool of cards for this?

Somebody last told me on a commander playgroup which he saw on twitter is this is connected to a supplement set like battlebond but for commander
There is currently no indication whatsoever this will be available to stores.
So if this isn't 100% reprints, I'll be amazed. If it has new cards at all, this will piss off LGSs everywhere. And I think whoever said this was a commander product was wrong, aside from the fact that technically every product is a commander product. But I doubt it's a commander-focused set.

Oh, and based on the event prices for this at MF Richmond, this would appear to be a premium set, too.
Inb4 it has old cards slotted into it, like the Zendikar priceless treasures
It will be draftable.
It is not standard legal.
There will be a convention version and a store version.
I still think it will be 100% reprints but the store version does make the possibility it will have new cards more likely.
You know from what your saying doesn’t that simply imply this 75$ pack is nothing more than the collectors edition of a supplement set coming
Having something special like an all-foil version, however, would be something that wizards has done before. Honestly, I'm sticking with my Conspiracy 3 theory for the moment.

It is NOT a $75 pack. I don't know where you got that from but it's not right, stop saying it.
Wait, its missing the token....from Chuck E. Cheese!

That puts an end to any speculation this is actually going to be Conspiracy 3 or anything like that.

I was only half wrong
It was sealed/draft entry
Oh for everyone else

The store version is also called mystery booster (less limited version I think)
