As far as 'chase' cards go, you have Rishadan Port, Maze of Ith, Ancient Tomb, and Karakas that are not on the reserve list. Second string would be cards like Tower of the Magistrate, High Market, Command Tower, Kor Haven, Vesuva...
Are they going to reprint one of the P3K basic lands in here? What other land has never been in a black-border ...except P3K and/or Un- cards?
Edit: Also, a mod should turn this discussion into it's own FTV: Realms thread.
I was thinking the same and it even implies there will be multiple lands printed with black borders for the first time. Revised art Plateau seems unlikely.
Update: The note about cards being in black border for the first time was also incorrect. We have fired the goblin who wrote this error prone announcement. Unfortunately for us it was Squee, so I have a feeling he'll be back.
So, ya. It was a typo in their announcement. They just C+P from the FTV:Legends announcement, and screwed it up. The original update also said they were all going to be legendary ...which is another typo that caused confusion.

They also just released a while ago Judge foil from Thawing Glaciers. Kjeldoran Outpost could be interesting, but then again it doesn't fit into many cubes anymore.
Both are on the reserved list anyways ( Thawing Glaciers was one of the last cards to get printed as a judge foil under the old policy).
I'm pretty sure Vesuva and Command Tower are going to be there for sure.
We'll see a couple of high priced cards for sure show up. Wizards knows that FtV:L was not received well so they need to show people that the product line is worth while to acquire again.
I don't think you will see Rishadan Port, Maze of Ith, or Karakas. Maze got a foil judge promo already (not that they couldn't - it is a very popular card which will not ever make it into a current set). Karakas is a very narrow card. It is also banned in EDH and I think they will try to avoid printing cards which are banned in either EDH or Modern (which also knocks out Dark Depths). The Port, although not nearly as narrow as Karakas could be easily viewed as such - especially by newer players (not that I think that should be a qualification for a set like this but WotC seems to take that stance on all products these days)
In lieu of Maze I think we will get Kor Haven which lots of cubers (and EDH players) will be happy with. I think Cabal Coffers is an easy add for them. Acadamy Ruins has a good chance, Mishra's Factory (They will foil the art from the Elspeth Vs Tezzarat dual decks) which probably means no Mutavault. Temple of the False God I think has a good chance. Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth will probably make it in as a high profile card. City of Brass I think has a good chance of being there.
I think the basis for most of the cards will be that they need 2-3 high profile cards, and most of the others see play in Modern, Legacy or EDH, and not be banned in those formats
I think they'd put City of Brass into this, and I know they're gonna put Command Tower and Vesuva, but I hope they put as the land of true value Rishadan Port. Also, is Gaea's Cradle on the reserved list, or can I hope for a sweet-ass foil?
So, ya. It was a typo in their announcement. They just C+P from the FTV:Legends announcement, and screwed it up. The original update also said they were all going to be legendary ...which is another typo that caused confusion.
No wonder I was so confused last night. That's what I get for reading the announcement at 9PM PST.
I'll just keep my fingers crossed for another Maze of Ith reprint. That'll be the first time that card's been widely available, and I use that term loosely, in like... forever.
Plus, it's the last high value card my Cube needs =)

Yes Gaea's Cradle (and Tolarian Acadamy) is on the Reserved list so no chance there. Cradle does have a foil - but it is a little crazy as far as price.

Yeah, cradle spiked to crazy highs. Glad i got my legacy playset and EDH copy for about $10 each and $20 for my cube foil.
After legacy and EDH gained in popularity prices have quardrupled on many cards. :/

Poo. I knew Academy was, but I wasn't sure about Cradle.
Even though Maze of Ith has a judge promo, I don't see that keeping it from being in a FtV set. Balance and Sol Ring had judge promos before they printed them in FtV: Exiled and Relics.
Can definitely see the case for Ancient Tomb or Maze of Ith. I'm betting against the Maze because it's been a judge promo before (though I guess that didn't stop Isochron Scepter turning up in Relics). I'd love to see Karakas in, but it's banned in EDH (and that kept Emmy out of Legends).

But I bet we don't get more than 1-2 of those.

On spoiled card wishlisting and 'should-have-had'-isms:
I can't imagine City of Brass not being in here. I hope they use the original art. Too bad Volrath's Stronghold is on the Reserve List.
